He still has potential to be a very good RB. He is still young and we should not be giving up on him.

Good performance. Surprised he kept things tight down his side even after his yellow card. Did well to bring the ball down and pass to Bruno in space, during the build-up to Sancho's goal.

thought he was excellent again today. Certainly in the best form of his United career.
@GifLord can we get the celebrations after he won a goal kick? Defensive players union had a full group celebration after that.
He is winning me over for sure. Still think it’s a position we need to improve upon
One of his best matches for us, he looked damn good. Hopefully he can continue like that.
Tbf it wasn’t only under Ole, must be said at the time he was loaned out to Milan he was ok there, even if with the same defensive weaknesses.
Still soon to say what is his real level, let’s see against a quality side like Arsenal how he does, specially from a defensive point of view.
The reality is he has 23 years old and if he has the luck of not having serious injuries and under a good coaching staff he can improve over the next 2 years, even if he doesn’t became a world class fullback.
Even the best teams they don’t have 11 world class players on their first 11.
He was very good, shame he is getting so many yellows. Just 2 away from suspension now.
I love that...shows the togetherness we need.
He is becoming more solid defensively. Hope he gets into the box more often. He has a good shot , cross and an eye for a pass.
Improving alot.
Actually pleased with him. He's improving. See no way for AWB in the team again at the moment.
He was fantastic again tonight, keep proving me wrong!
Very exciting. The fact he is so young, 6ft, seems to be getting his head up for his crosses, his involvement in build up is night and day compared with AWB and he’s doing great defensively too.
His first actual full season was with Milan. He was not really good there but Milan wanted him back for another season.
But you have people here saying that he was dreadful for them and we should never consider a Milan reject to play for us.
I get why we bought another RB back in 2019 but buying another young player for the same spot was a massive mistake. Especially since that player was obviously less talented than him.
I mean we've seen him against Diaz and Barnes already. Arsenal won't be the first time he's faced quality attackers.
I think his comfortability in possession and passing with both feet is severely underrated here as a weapon when building from the back. As long as he isn't getting skinned by his man he's quality.
Been like a new signing.
Finally people are coming round to the thinking he's not so gash after all.
I thought he was very good today. Nice goal involvement as well, with the controlled touch and pass to Bruno.
Must have thought he was playing for Arsenal after he blocked that cross!!
The yellow was completely pointless, you have to judge whether there is genuine danger better then that. Early yellows put you in a hugely weakened position as a defender. But you have to like the way he recovered from getting beaten by Barnes early, he took pride in defending.
The improvements seem in quite a few of our players that had been previously written off is great to see! Thought he was MOM today
Awesome thanks
This actually affected the opponents negatively in a big deal.
I am just trying to calm down things because if the next match things don’t go right he will again be labelled a Championship fullback level.
Honestly the team is slowly getting better collectively so it’s normal even the players who didn’t seemed ok for this level look better now, there’s still ups and downs to come, but with Casimiro and Antony coming, and if Ronaldo adapts to a new reality where he doesn’t have to play every game and he plays with the teammates and not them playing to him top 4 is doable, except City I don’t see another super team, unless Liverpool improves a lot.
Impressive two games lately. Still hope of him being a mainstay.
Another good game. Finally seeing a bit of aggression in his play just lately and he played a part in the goal.
Because it's been four years of terrible to average stuff. He's been given a long time to start producing some decent stuff. I don't think its outrageous to write him off after that long.
Was very good tonight and I haven't rated him at all previously.
Martinez has got them all celebrating clearances..its wonderful to see!
Defenders that actually enjoy defending... beautiful!
Yeah, but I think some context was lost due to the overall depression surrounding the side.
He came to United from the Portuguese league at 19 or 20 years old and didn't even have much senior football under his belt.
He's looking quite competent now. Henh
Well done.. Like him a lot, give ETH one season with him.
True but whatever the context four years is a lot of leeway for a guy showing next to nothing. Not many get that window of opportunity to show something.
I've still got my doubts but he's been very good these last few games.
Did really well for the goal. Love it when a player trusts his touch under a high ball like that and super pass to Bruno.
I’ve been one of his biggest critics, but I have to say he’s surprised me lately. He has shown some good mentality, decent technique and most amazingly even sometimes looks like he can actually defend when he wants to.
