Very good today, I think he'll quickly become a key player for us.
 
Looks quicker every game. Guess Ten Hag was right when he said it would take him a few months to be up to speed.
 
Thought he was one of our best players today. Hes pretty beastly defensively. I actually think him and Bruno works agaisnt the vast majority of teams we play. Perhaps not the biggest teams.
 
Stood tall tonight. Shoulda had Casemiro alongside him and Bruno ahead and we could have really pushed the advantage in midfield.
 
Big game player - exactly the sort of player you want in the middle of the park for these tough away games.

Really impressed with him since Ten Hag left
 
Played well again tonight , did not hit the ground running with us but steadily getting there and could prove to be a very important player for us yet.
 
Did a very good job, wins those second balls and is very tidy on the ball.
 
Thought he had an excellent game tonight, should have got MotM ahead of Rice, even though they rarely give them to the losing team.
 
Didn’t realise he was the youngest ever professional footballer in Uruguay. And club captain aged 18. Looks like we’ve finally signed a real one.
Back in the Summer I linked an article on the Transfer Forum which ran through his upbringing and how hungry and determined he was from a very early age. Really impressive stuff, the sort that is a sure sign he will never let you down unless you are asking for something completely beyond him.

Here it is

Nice one. Thanks. Will have a read later.
 
Playing well for us. Be great if we can get a better passer next to him, but he's been better than expected on the ball.
 
MOTM and if our forwards in the first half could hold and protect the ball as well as he did, we’d maybe be having a different post match analysis.
 
I'd say it was his best game in United shirt given the opponent. Like the way he carried the ball. Also good that he was player for Amorim at Sporting so hopefully he'll get the best out of him.
 
Getting better every week he’s starting to look like a really good player
 
Good to see him grow into the shirt a bit over his past few appearances. Him and Yoro probably the silver linings after an evening to forget.
 
Dude is a beast. Probably the wrong decision to not put Casemiro in there too but I said pre game Ugarte and Mount is probably our most balanced midfield. It seems the manager thinks Mount is better further forward pressing and that Bruno can make play. If that’s the case then we need a more physical playmaker and we will will be fine. Ugarte is an elite midfielder.
 
Him and De Ligt were the standouts tonight. Very good at what he does. Isn't too much wrong with us at all defensively.
 
I love him. I hope we will get the midfield balance right around him. If he improves his long balls, he will be deadly.
 
Missed the game as it was on very late for me, I was interested to see what his performance thread be like after a big game and I am happy to see posters here saying he did very well, we need good players in the middle of the park.
 
This formation suits him down to the ground. The middle centre back behind him means he can really be aggressive, pushing out on the opposition, without worrying about the space he leaves behind. And the number of players around him means he has more simple passing options open to him. Everyone loves a tackler. I think fans are going to enjoy his play this season.
 
He was really good. He has adjusted to the league and has put in some good performances off-late. He needs a better partner than Bruno or Casemiro.
 
One of the positives from last night, I thought he was excellent.

I initially worried about his passing and ability to retain possession but he looks much sharper lately. Quicker to make decisions and more confident. His defensive ability is obviously not in question.
 
Interesting how much praise is here almost 100% while you go to the sites of the experts. And it’s a disaster.

Goal.com. =. Did not appear up to it. A real concern for Amorim.

MSNBC = Looked overpowered in the middle and off pace.

Another site I cannot remember which is a Man Utd paper. Says he was poor as well.

So this is confusing and what was everyone watching? Ha ha.

No idea what they were watching but he was very good against Arsenal, like others have said though he needs another similar player to help as well.

The only player other than Amad who can feel like they had a pretty good game.
