His acceleration with the ball is very good. He can score penalties too!
Mkhitaryan goes missing once again.
Im always defending the guy....but he certainly needs to step it up. I expect more from him.
As well as a winger and defensive midfielder if that's the case, we should be in for a number 10, because if we're going to play a 4231, having just him and Mata as our 10's worry me.
We really should be in for Barkley.
We really should be in for Barkley.
He seems next Kagawa at United. Flatters to deceive and so frustrating at times.
Expected a lot more.

Very steady pre-season with a nice goal vs Salt Lake but he'll definitely need more time on the pitch in two other games.
He is the most inconsistent player I've ever seen. Fecking hell.
The guy must have a fecking identical twin, because there are two Mkhitaryans.
A world class Mkhi
And fecking Mkhi Mouse shit stain.

Is he even that good? Or another player from the Dortmund set up that looks great then when gets the big move fails badly (Gotze, sahin, kagawa)
The big move? In footballing aspect, United is barely a move up from Dortmund recently. It's more the brand of football I think. Dortmund play much faster and riskier football than we do, it doesnt suit Kagawa and Miki.
You meant Griezman, right?
Is Griezmann available?
Because he'd add depth or because you believe him to be better than the other two?
Depth.
Currently, we have Mata, who, Jose has made it clear, he doesn't really like as a 10, and Mkhitaryan, who, has yet to impress on a consistent bases.
Two seasons ago under Martinez, Barkley was super behind Romelu. If we could rekindle that form, then we'd have ourselves a top player, in my opinion.
You're forgetting Lingard who's perfectly capable of playing through the middle. It's one of the positions where I worry the least about depth. Besides, 50 million (at least) is a hefty fee for a player brought in to provide depth.
Yes we should get an overrated English player!
What has his nationality got to do with anything?
We have a lot of overrated foreign players on our team.
I agree, which is why I think our recruitment should focus on top players who will improve our starting XI and make the current starters our subs. I don't see Barkley as such a player. Good but not great.
Remember Nani? Way way worse and frustrating to watch.
Funny that you admit we lack quality but you're the one who always defends our worst players (Lingard, Fellaini, Jones, Smalling, and Rooney when he was here)
Either you don't know what quality means or you enjoy seeing a lack of it in the team.
I admit that the players you mentioned are/were good squad players. However, if you search through my content, and check my predicted teams, or team I'd want to see starting come the start of the season, then tell me if any of them players are in the team.
Fact is, you can't have a team of Messi's. This isn't Fifa.
20-30 more millions for a player who is a mid table level.
I see what you're saying. I just think Barkley could step up another level at United. I definitely see where you're coming from, though,
That said, Mkhitaryan was proven quality. At Dortmund, he was definitely in that category of 'top players', yet he's flattered to deceive since being at United.
Hoping his second season can be a lot more successful.
Sigurdsson says hello.
lol what? In terms of pressure there's a world of difference between playing for United and playing for Dortmund. Even more so in this United team that's constantly under scrutiny.
Maybe in pressure but the level isnt that big of a step up in footballing terms no.
He was until Atletico got a transfer ban i think.
Comparing the standard/style of football at United and Dortmund is pointless IMO. He struggled in Germany too, before coming good in a big way. We just need to hope the same happens here. He's been up and down in pre-season but has had some good moments. I'm expecting a lot more from him this season than we saw in his debut year at the club.
He has done a lot more than Barkley
You're missing the point.
I think due to the lack of the Griezmann signing we'll see him in the number 10 role. Had we signed Griezmann, I imagine Miki would have been starting from the right. I hope he has a productive season for us!
Him and Martial are really key to our season now. A lot riding on their form. Mkhi needs to hit the ground running.
Heart in mouth when Rash went in on Smalling. Does he not know his injury record? Deary me!
Agree. Players need to accept that the grass isn't always greener away from Dortmund; Sahin, Kagawa, Gotze, now Mkhi....
I can't help but feel he was signed primarily as a bribe to Raiola to get the Pogba and Zlatan deals boxed off.
I'd be compelled to send him towards inter as part of a Perisic transfer; the Croat and his orthodox wing play would be a better fit IMO....or even straight swap with Everton for Barkley. Both players are more Mourinho specimens.
He's not inconsistent.
He's consistently good in easy games and consistently bad in difficult games.
Mkhitaryan can't stand up to pressure... neither physical nor mental.
He's only ever good when he has plenty of space and his individual performance isn't crucial for the team's result.
6 goals in 11 Europa League games including the final and the semis. By far our best player in that competition and one of the major reasons we're playing Champions League this year. There was plenty of pressure to win the damn thing, so I'm not so sure about that assessment of not handling the pressure.
This year he has to transfer the form to the league. I'd be happy with that.
