Fantastic yet again.

Ever since he stepped off that helicopter, I was waiting for the day he played for us at Old Trafford in the Champions League. Didn't disappoint.

Best player on the pitch and that pass, just pure class, a pleasure to watch.

Hugs.
 
Can we put the idea that he can't play on the wing to rest now? It's clearly not his best position granted but that's a long way removed from being "wasted on the wing", always has been.
 
Really is the little magician!

Should be the first name on the team sheet out of our attackers along with Martial.
 
Has someone made a gif of Mata's back heel assist yet? This guy does things other players dream of trying.
 
Gave him MOTM tonight. Felt his overall performance was just ahead of Smalling's due to the latter's part in the goal conceded. Delightful showing again from the little Spanish magician.
 
Played very well tonight would love him in at 10 instead of Rooney though
 
His best game for us. He was completely unplayable tonight. If he retains this sort of form, we could seriously be title contenders.
 
Pundits and interviewers asking about taking the penalty ahead of Rooney. If the idiots did their research, they'd know he's on penalties now.
 
As soon as he wasn't central to our play, we became shit. Which is presumably part of the reason why he's singled out by idiots when we're shit as a whole. He's crucial if we wanna play attractively. If we're pedestrian or hanging on, he's not going to dribble it out of defense ala Ronaldo, is he? But that's what we have Memphis for...potentially

If I hear anyone giving him any shit or banging on about how he can't play on the right, I may just lose it.
 
Incredible throughout. He is getting better and better. I can't get over how good he is technique-wise. His 1st touch is just :drool:

Probably our best outfield player at the moment.

I'm starting to think it is his best position. More time on the ball and more space to operate in. He's shown how much he can influence games from out there.

Proved again today that he is probably our best outfield player.
 
His best performance as an United player.
 
I really think Mata with a free role/am with Depay/Martial ahead and probably Young to give balance (ideally next season Januzaj) could bring so much. One below par game with extenuating circumstances against PSV shouldn't rule him out there. When there's movement ahead of him he finds it and he always manages to pop up at the right moments. Yeah he's proving he can impact from the right but how much more effective could he be with more freedom and an extra person providing runs, not to mention us with someone else providing width.

I think any doubt over his workrate as well surely is gone. He's not a Park or anything but he does more than his share, any weakness he has defensively is purely down to his speed/strength imp.
 
Can't believe some people on here question this guys ability, he is class.

He hasn't had much of a chance to play as a 10 for us, I still think his qualities are of better use there. Then again his crossing is also really good so you might be right.
