Nice piece of skill for the goal.
 
Unlucky not to score really. Did well to work into the position though.
 
Has a reputation for free kicks, been pretty poor for us so far in this respect.
 
Some of the comment in this thread are completely over the top and retarded.

A 21 year old footballer playing his first season at the highest level in a new league and he gets written off immediately when things don't go exactly to plan in a few games, Really?!!
 
Does he ever actually run with the ball? He's built like a brickhouse but he turns onto his side and stands the opposing fullback up almost every time.
 
Young has got a rough deal. Memphis has done nothing to take over his spot. I know he's young and all but Young should be starting over Memphis atm.
 
Not sure if van Gaal strategy is working for Depay and the team. Young clearly is far superior player right now, and I understand boy needs game time but he’s playing too much, looks tired and not up to speed. Would rather see him against tired defenders than from the start.
 
He's only in the team because he's more likely to score than Young but I'd still bench him and make him earn the spot
 
Slightly harsh comments in here. He's very hit and miss at the moment and Young should be starting, but give him a few months and I'm sure he will be fine.

Just hasn't shown his talent in the league at all so far. I still think he will come good though.

Ofcourse. The talent is obviously there. I just don't see the sense in playing him over a clearly better player for 90mins.
 
Thought he was decent today. Bit bad moments, a few moments of class though like for Mata's goal where he was unlucky to hit the post. His pace and ability and quality of crossing is a huge bonus though, he'll be a top player without a doubt IMO.
 
He has good moments, but isn't doing enough to warrant a place in the side, in my opinion. Think Young should come in for a few games, and use Memphis as a impact sub.
 
He's weirdly not very good a dribbling, at all. That's a bit of a surprise to me. But he's capable of doing something so ridiculously good that still makes me optimistic.

Think he's just inconsistent at it... Dribbled past players at will against Newcastle, and showed good dribbling in other games (and for Netherlands when I watched him). Think he just needs time to get it all to come together at once, he shows moments of his class every game but is just inconsistent with it. Which is expected with a young player coming to the premier league.
 
He's very erratic with his first touch, at times it bounces off him and other times he kills it like on his chance where he hit the post and Mata scored the rebound. Early days.
 
It's amazing how he shits himself 19 out of 20 times as soon as he is close to the box and then he does that dribbling for the third goal goal which was more difficult to do than many other things he messed up today.
