The last you tube video I watched was Dan James as I hadn’t seen it play before . Very similar thoughts I had watching James was not many clips of him actually scoring and a lot of defenders diving in making it easier for a Very fast winger to kick it past him . I hope I’m very wrong about this guy but he does seem to have a bit more skill on the ball than the James video.

Never heard of him up until the rumour started but if he comes in as the only RW signing then God help the kid is all I say.
He has the spanish nationality
This still makes me more excited than Cavani trying to cope with Premier League intensity.
If he's similar talent level as Mejbri than 10m sounds reasonable and it's up to United to unlock his potential.

Cavani cope with premier league intensity? Hes one of the fittest players out there, he'll easily be one of the hardest working forwards in the league.
Looks more talented than James. But also highly doubt its with any first team football in mind for this season. Maybe loan right away?
He's Spanish and Uruguayan passports.
Good to hear, mate. We'll definitely need instant boost of goalscoring ability against CL sides and die hard defending teams.
This is supposed to be a goals and assist video?
Some good touches but looks a bit slow in a weak league.
The thing that may frustrate us is he's not clinical, but he is a great forward in terms of running, clever runs and physicality. Certainly a proper plan or alternate option we've been crying out for.
Hopefully this is like getting Ronaldo after failing with Ronaldinho.
2 goals in 37 games, is he any good?

He seems quite fast.
Nice one. Mitten called our interest months before
Really excited about these hidden talents

Excited to see what he can do. I imagine he'll get a few games for the 23s first to see where he's at. Glad I paid up to MUTV this year!
If it’s the guy Mitten was on about months ago, then he said he’s really fast, but finishing is inconsistent.
Nice.
So an exotic Dan James?
Slow? Didn’t get that impression at all.This is supposed to be a goals and assist video?

18 year old, how many goals/assists would he even have.
You think? I don't feel I saw him running full speed much in these clips. Hard to tell but doesn't look to me like he's much quicker than the players he was playing against.
He looks quick via his highlights but I wouldn't say he's 'really fast'.
James is only fast to be fair, this one seems to be able to carry the ball well and go past a player or two at least.
He has 2 goals and 2 assists in 37 games. I‘d be surprised if he’s an immediate first team signing but we’ll see.
We've got two threads going about this player folks, so I'm closing this one. Thanks.
Maybe my expectations are a bit too high, but I don't think he's scored over 2 goals in that league?
We have an 18 year old that scored 17 goals last season in a high quality league. I think my mind-frame is that I'd rather see someone that comes in to improve our first XI than continually buy players on the bench to compete as Van de Beek and Cavani will be doing.
Nearly got a "here we go" from Fabrizio
Giving faith in the first XI but providing top draw competition for them is also a tactic. We dont have to be like Chelsea.
Traitor!!
I don't see him in the first team as well this season. As i said, i would play him in the u23s and then loan him out in January. If the plan is to rely on him a la James, that doesnt sound like a good plan to me.
You mispelled Glazer shill, I think.
Fair enough, let's hope it works out that way.
Same, I'm doubtful he can out pace PL fullbacks round the outside on the RW, shame he's right footed as it wouldn't be natural to cut in.
I think we just happen to have an extremely young front line as it is. You would hope that last year wasn't their peak. I think you mentioned about matic and Shaw in an early comment - maybe wrong, they're the first XI players I'd improve
When was the last time we signed a player over 18 who wasnt for the current season but went on to become a regular?hahaha no I doubt it. he’s a talent but I’m 99% sure hes not for this season. It would be the total deep end. He’s ace in FM 20 for what it’s worth and his release clause is actually around the same amount
He’d be the only major RW talent in the academy unless I’m missing someone? Everyone wants to play on the left these days.
Is he going to join the first team straight up?
