He was absolutely brilliant.

A defender's defender.
Keeps this up and he's going to be loved as much as vidic still is
I love this guy. I get so nervous watching him charging at strikers, then he waltzes away with the ball and I wonder why I doubted him. 
Looked effortless today. Our whole back line was excellent actually. Hull never had a sniff.
What is this guy made off? He's so strong.
Probably the signing of the season.
Very, very few centre backs have this guy's brute strength, speed off the mark and composure on the ball.
I always have a slight worry that his performances will drop off, he'll just have had a good start and he'll begin to struggle.
Nope. He's always improving. Absolute beast.

His composure on the ball is fantastic; doesn't automatically pass back to the keeper, which is nice to see.
Just does the fecking job. Great signing. Would it be too much to say he has been the best centre back signing of the summer?
He's an absolute nutcase. I cringe so hard when I see him charge at full pelt, but then you open your eyes and he's not broken someone's knee cap.
Couldn't have had a better start to his United career. And apparently he's raw!

Fantastic performance yet again.
This guy is an amazing find.
Solid and so strong in his challenge.
He just barges into tackles like a boss.
Can you imagine, He is younger than Varane...
Unreal defender. I knew he would be good having watched him in La Liga but I never knew he would adapt this well. What a signing.
Very good again, but the real test comes against City. He's been up against mediocre strikers so far in the league. Not his fault, but want to see this guy up against a quality striker.
30 mil seems to be a bargain. Especially considering the prices being asked for defenders in this market.
Thriving here, made for this league really. Just two weakness that I can think of - defensive headers and positioning issues when on the back foot due to an attacking overload
Feels strange that Smalling can't get a look in, but what can you say?
A complacent goal against Bournemouth aside, De Gea has barely been troubled.

Must be on par with Valencia in terms of first 5-10 meters acceleration.
Wonder if he is a contender for player of the month?
Although defenders rarely win it

He's been sensational.
I'm amazed how good he is. And he's still young.
He's like Vidic but with pace. Fantastic mentality and always wants to take charge.
Valencia looked like Rooney when Bailly knocked him away so he can could the ball out towards the end of the game.
Cool as a cucumber. Defends then looks for a forward pass.
He's a specimen and a half.
What I also like about him is that he really wants the ball, he'll menacingly snatch it away and drive forward with it.
Man's a machine. Incredible.
He's absolutely brilliant. Said it before will say it again, he's a no nonsense defender and I love those the most.
Always in a right place in a right time, makes defending look so simple.

Looks like he's going to be immense.
What a signing and what a player.scary to think what he might develop into. Hes like rio and vidic rolled into one. 30million is a steal.
A quicker Vidic? He's been brilliant so far. So strong, so quick and he's always on the front foot.
I love him. There was a moment when Valencia was dithering over getting rid of the ball, and Eric just came and took it down the wing, presumably bellowing "I SHALL RIGHTBACK FOR YOU THEN."
It's like he's been here forever. He's settled here alongside Blind so well.
Immense defender. Incredible signing.
All the talk of Ibrahimovic, Pogba and Mkhitaryan. This guy is on their level, he's amazing.
