You're seriously playing down Nani's contribution to his club with that comparison.Nani looked a better player when he was 21.

I agree, he was a much better player at 20-21 in his first season. I'm a big Nani fan, and Memphis would do well to ever match Nani's 10-11 contributions.
 
He really hasn't done enough to justify being in the starting line-up. He needs to be benched and just let him prove himself in sub appearances like anybody else.
 
We need an acomplished winger/attacker. Send 70m for Griezmann in January, he could cover all three attacking poitions..
 
Worried about his attitude. Supposed to be the next CR7 but couldn't give a feck at all today and it's not the first time he's went missing in a big game, was hauled off after 45mins vs Liverpool as well.

This. I'd rather have Blind at left back, Jones centre back and Young on the left wing. But main point is, he needs to be dropped.
 
Regardless of what he may become in the future he's not as good a winger as Ashley Young is now.

If Shaw had never gotten injured I'd have preferred Young to play there but we have a lack of options out wide now unfortunately.
 
Can deal with his inconsistency but he looked like he couldn't be fecked in the first half.
 
Been saying it for a while. He isn't ready enough. Thinks he has more time and space than he actually has and thinks he can just run past full backs. This isn't the Eredivisie.

Young MUST start on the left.
 
Needs to be on the bench a bit and come on for 20 or so minutes towards the end depending on what's going on. Take him out of the firing line a bit. He's an intense personality and trying to do too much too soon. Putting himself under constant pressure. But he'll improve, I'm sure of it.
 
Poor today but everyone was on the first half, young should start against everton though, away for home our defence needs more protection.
 
I've lost patience with him and no longer want him to start every game. It's all well and good at home, against weaker opposition, where maybe he can play himself into form, but away matches or games against the bigger teams we can't afford passengers.
 
Really poor today. It's one thing to lose but at least have some attitude. One time, he just run into 3 players without doing anything
 
I think he has all the attributes, but his attitude stinks. It makes me appreciate even more how mature Martial is even though he's 2 years younger.
 
He really should be being eased into the league. Unfortunately we don't really have the numbers for that so we're forced to play him more than we should be.

One things for sure; we definitely need a wide forward in the summer and I'd far rather they replace Memphis in the line-up than Mata.
 
Needs to perform in the premier league, don't think he's had a single good game yet unfortunately.
 
Keep saying this after every game, he needs to be benched for a few games. Play Young at lw and move Blind to lb or Rojo.
 
Don't rate him particularly if I'm honest.

When the going gets tough, he's not interested. Young was getting destroyed down that side and not once did Depay look to help him.
 
His free pass must have expired a little earlier than Rooney's today. Surprised we hooked him, van Gaal normally lets him play that way for the whole game.
 
Needs dropping for a while. He's walking in to the team. He started the season looking hungry, even if he was a little erratic. He was working hard and looking threatening. He's starting to just potter about effortlessly. He needs a bit of competition and to be shown his position is under threat. He also needs to be told that when we don't have the ball, everyone in the team is a defender. He's just not mucking in.
 
Seen people compare him to Nani which is a bit harsh.. Nani actually showers moments of brilliance.

Bit harsh, I am surprised though how long it's taking for the lad to settle when you consider how well Anthony Martial has taken to this league.

Same and that was even before his signing. I was never excited with us bringing him in. I saw PSV about 7 times last season and even though he scored in most of them, I was never impressed with his general play. He took a ridiculous amount of shots, which could explain the goals.
 
He will come good. Too early for him to be a regular starter. We cannot carry two passengers in our attack each game, so the youngest one of them will be the one benched.
 
Needs to be dropped. LVG has his favorites and he seems unwilling and too stubborn to accept reality.

I wouldn't say he has all the attributes, his lack of dribbling skill has surprised me a fair bit and his one on one finishing has been sorely lacking up to now. Needs to be benched and developed slowly, also showing him that he isn't immune to getting dropped might help him out a bit. He has time to pan out if he gets his head down.
 
His teamwork is appalling. At least when you have a shit game help your teammates defensively.
You'd think that's a no brainer.
Not to Depay though, evidently.
 
His performances right now are obviously really poor, but even in the long term, in what scenario is he becoming a world class player? He has looked utterly hopeless in the PL so far. Dismal decision making with the ball, inability to beat defenders, unable to cope with getting doubled, not a great finisher, not very quick, physically weaker than he looks, and poor body language/attitude. A lot has to happen for him to even reach Nani level, which is who he is frequently getting compared to here. Nani was frustrating, but he was far better than what Memphis has shown so far, and Nani's peak form here was miles better than Memphis so far.
 
He looks overwealmed and timid in close possession. He is not elusive at all with his cut in moves. He needs a spell on the bench.... OR at least WE need him to find some bench time to allow someone else to give it a go. He was an absolute waste today, worst on the pitch for me.

For me that is the worrying thing. I'm not even seeing any glimpse of ability with the ball at his feet.
