Looks like he's nailed on to start. Mitchell and Harrop on the left could be fun to watch.
I can't wait to (hopefully) see this. Him drifting inside, linking up with Gomes/Pogba/Carrick etc will be lovely, too. If they're on the pitch together, that is!
What player would you compare him to? Style-wise to me I think he's quite unique.
I find him similar to a Iniesta/Silva, and not just because he's been playing on the left. Brilliant technique, can dribble, can keep the ball in tight areas, doesn't panic under pressure, shields the ball well, just general good ball retention really.
He's shown he can pass well - played some nice, scholes-esque, long balls and some lovely scooped balls over the top á la Iniesta. He starts on the left but, when in possession, he drifts anywhere and everywhere, ending up as our (u23) primary playmaker. Though he does mainly come inside he can dribble out wide and put in some delicious crosses, too. When I say "dribble" I don't mean in a Neymar/Martial/Hazard way where he's taking on players left and right, I mean when needed he can beat a player, carrys the ball well, and has a lot of skill, too. He knows where the net is as well; that's for sure.
He's an incredibly hard worker to boot. Always running his socks off and putting in a shift defensively. He's not pushover either - he's capable of putting a foot in and whatnot.
I know you weren't wondering what type of player he is as you've said yourself you think he's unique - this was just my opinion on him for those who don't watch the U23s.
