McT has performed far far better than Fred. It’s not just the transfer fee, one is a 26 year old seasoned professional, and he’s not performed. He’s not performing full stop, he’s not even a £20m player.

It's not that he's not performing, he's just not performing to YOUR expectations.
Let's be honest the guy is decent water carrier. He has good stamina, tackles well and passes well on the floor.
We should never have bought him for £50m, but we did. He's a good squad player but he'll never grow to be better than Pogba or Keane or whatever you expect. he's limited.
Right now he's doing a good job, that's all that matters until we can find somebody better.
Well summarised.
The fact that 99% of the fans know £50m was not worth it but keep banging on about it is not going to change the fact.
We just have to move on and hopefully he produces decent performances till the end of the season until we can get someone in.
I agree. The hope is he is doing his job well enough for Ole to put Pogba back as a number 10, where he played in the beginning of Oles tenure, until Herrerra got injured.

My expectations are pretty low, and he’s failing to hit them.
He’s at the level of Tom Cleverly to be honest.
'One' and 'everything'.....it's like arguing with my teenage daughter
He has a specific job and a regular partner at the moment. For the first time. And the improvement is clear. We need him right now and he's getting better at what we need him for. That'll do for now.
Yet you used the one foul resulting in the goal to dismiss my whole post?
Fergie won titles with cleverly. I personally think fred is a better midfielder than he ever was, but we can improve.
I have seen the match a couple of times and every time I feel that I give him more credit. yes he is not doing anything spectacular but he is doing like what the navy would say fleet in being. the fact that he was patrolling the important areas of the pitch especially the centre was denying Chelsea the space. I feel that when Pogba is back, he should play instead of Lingard and let Fred and McTominay be the base of the midfield.
Didn't dismiss anything, it wasn't just because it's one foul, it was the most significant one.
Mate getting fouled 30 yards out barely within shooting distance is not anything to sing about.
I’ve said several times that he’s a good player that needed time to settle and he’d be an asset for us. He should be starting every game for us right now. He still shaking the stigma off of a disappointing first season, but he’s had a run of good performances that are not getting enough credit yet. If we give him a consistent run of games, I believe he will be a very good player for us.
Singing????? Not singing just responding. So he doesn't make the run, he doesn't get tackled and therefore there's no freekick. What would you prefer?
Bournemouth 1:0 Man Utd
If I never see this cnut in a United shirt again it'd be to soon. The worst signing I've ever seen at United.
Too sloppy and inconsistent
I thought he was one of our better players today. Not amazing but got around well and was good on the ball. I'm not sure if there's a £50m player in there but a good squad option to have.
Looks like he’s won a competition to play for United. Never in the right place, hides far too often.
McKenna should be sacked for recommending this signing
He's dire. There'll be some here rating his performance just because he was involved though.
Gentlemen ask yourselves honestly. What PL side top ten does he break into?
Was our best player today. Anyone saying otherwise is just biased at this point.
I thought he was fine today to be honest. Nothing spectacular mind.
Being involved doesn't equal being good
He's been one our best players today.
seriously?
Yes. He broke up play well, hardly misplaced a pass and his positioning was good.
Compare that to McTominay who was dreadful next to him.
Biased against what? He's shit. What agenda could their possibly be towards a player who provides the quality of "gets involved."
So good that he delivered a 1-0 loss to Bournemouth...
I agree, broke up play well and our only player that looked interested in getting it forward. McTominay was nowhere near it, bought into his midweek hype and was shocking, Fred was carrying him for once.
Only by default.
He broke up play well, bare misplaced a pass and positioned himself well. Not sure how anyone can say he was bad apart from a few tame shots.
Well yeah. No one deserves credit really.
If you mean he wasn't anywhere near as abjectly useless today as he has been on many occasions this season then I would have to agree.
Being one of our best players today does not mean he was great. Just that he was... less crap than the others.
Given the freedom of the park today.
Teams know who to let have time on the ball..
Teams know who to let have time on the ball..
Well what basis can you criticise him today apart from a few tame shots? Compare that to McTominay and Pereira in the midfield next time who were absolute dire.
He was incredibly wasteful and hopeless at doing anything useful with it.
Like I said, seems to be agenda driven now alot with Fred...
He was alright imo, however he should stop shooting from distance.
