I don't care about that. I prefer him for my own personal reasons, and I'm not obsessed at this stage with his overall legacy, or getting into MvR blindless arguments. He doesn't need defending because he works every day to defend himself on the pitch, and he always ends up speaking for himself. It seems the only way he will get some respect for what he's doing right now is getting 60 goals a season, 20 assists, rabonas, and wild pressing every second of the game. The standards you guys set is very high and is appropriate for a club of the status of Man Utd, but I just can't agree with a lot of what's been said here.
Personally for me I've seen him having a few games where he was pretty bad overall for us, I'm discounting 2nd half here on a game that was done but thought he did well first half. Problem in the 1st half for me wasn't even the pressing, the midfield and defense were the issues. No amount of pressing can make up the shenanigans going on everywhere else on the field.
Some people questioning that he doesn't want to give it all to the team, like this guy doesn't live his whole life to be the best player he can be. Some people want him to press wildly at his age every game, so that when he needs to ditch a defender in the 85th minute on a through ball with pace, he'll be so tired,that he won't be able to do it. If he presses like a madman all game, and scores 15 goals all season, what's the point?
I just don't know what you guys want from him. He got hired, has a job to do, and god forbid me saying that in my honest view, he's actually helped in winning you a lot of points already this season. I don't know what can he ever do that will ever leave you guys happy with him. If there's structural issues with the team, or he wasn't the right fit, it's not his fault he got hired in the first place.
Edit: I want this to work out so badly, I mean that. I love Utd and love him and I wish so much that by the end of all of this, we could just all say it's been worth it for us as a club to have him here (meaning we get trophies and he helps the team achieve sucess).
