He was OK. As expected, he's going to get better as the season goes on. No worries from me.
 
Not good, not bad. His movement off the ball stretched Villa a lot while he was on. Big room for improvement but this was expected.
 
Doing all the right things, just a bad day at the office in terms of end product. But it's good to watch a player get in behind, take shots and make things happen. No doubts about him.
 
He looks good but still a bit raw. Pretty much what I expected when we signed him.

Bit unlucky with the shot near the end. Wasn't far away.
 
Thought he looked far more comfortable wide left drifting in. Found himself in good positions and made some good run that we failed to find the right ball. When we did he fluffed it.
 
Feeling his way into the pace of the prem. Looked really good in flashes. Can't help but feel he's gonna a beast on the wing, which looks to be his strongest position.
So excited about this guy, Im really not all that bothered about signing Pedro. Don't want to hinder Memphis's development.
 
Hardly involved I thought. Better as a LW for sure but he didn't do a lot with the ball and shooting from everywhere was a bit stupid. Needs more time obviously
 
Wont have done much to dispel the "Dutch Nani" label with that performance, but at least he's playing in his proper position now. He's still pretty raw but the talent is certainly there.
 
Haha :lol:

Why do pundits keep saying Depay was £31m...Redknapp just said it now and Yorke nodded his head in agreement

Redknapp also thinks he plays number 10. He was like we need Pedro who can play on the wing instead of Depay and Mata who are 10s.
 
I'm not worried about him, he's going to become a very good player for us. Shouldhave put the chance from Mata's sexy pass away.
 
Raw springs to mind. His movement is phenomenal, though. His effort on goal was very nearly excellent and his goalscoring threat is already evident.

He'll make mistakes, definitely, but I'd rather see him express himself than crawl into a shell.
 
More of a danger wide left than Young has been for a long while. It'll come for him. Once he gets that first goal the others will come. No doubt about it.
 
It's all there but he's going to be inconsistent, I like his confidence and movement a lot.
 
Hasn't impressed me, but he's only played two games, so it's far too early to judge.

You can tell he's a player. One of those days where it just doesn't come off.
 
Good movement today, didn't come off from him, and some bits of sloppy play.
Still looks a threat, which is good, should have scored.
 
I said it before the season started I didn't expect him to set the world on fire immediately, it's going to take him time to adjust to a new league with a much higher level and all the expectations. If he gets a goal it will help him a lot, he's trying too hard to produce something.
 
I was impressed with his movement this evening, with the rest not so much.
 
Think the lad desperately needs an early goal in his United career. Looks like he is always trying to justify that he deserves to be here.
Hopefully he'll settle in before too long and start playing with the swagger he had at PSV.
 
Thought he was pretty poor tonight but I'm certainly not worried. He will take time to settle.
 
I think those hoping for him to be Hazard-esque for us can put that to bed, his key strength is going to be those smart runs he makes in behind, if we can get Pedro for the other side we'd have two great options in the wide forward roles making runs for our midfield to pick out.
 
Shame he fecked up his chance, would've done him a lot of good.

Great off-ball movement but still, a lot to improve.
 
He made that one run three or four times, and could have been through each time with better balls. So much better than as a 10.
 
Young would've been better. In fact if Young had played as Depay did tonight there would be calls for him to be dropped.
 
He isnt yet fully in sync with his team mates, hasnt yet got the hang of their body language signals as to when to move etc for them. I think once he and his team mates learn each others games he will come right but he has been a bit of a let down for me so far. Easy to see the potential though.
 
Young would've been better. In fact if Young had played as Depay did tonight there would be calls for him to be dropped.
Indeed, because Young has played his whole career in the Premier League and 4 or 5 years for United. Bizarre comparison.
 
Movement is there, determination is there and the confidence is there. He comes across as someone who will succeed purely because they won't settle for anything less, it'll come.

Pretty much the feeling I got when I've seen that horrible free kick and the chance he didn't put away. You just feel that he'll spend bloody hours on the training ground to work on both finishing and free kicks.
 
Absolute cnut for missing that chance as he would have sent my Fantasy Football team top.

However he looked bright on the left, some excellent runs from him. His movement and determination are second to none, needs to sharpen his finishing but it's all promising from him.
