Yep. Given the contrast in his performances last season against quality teams versus lesser opposition, we shouldn't read too much into yesterday's performance. But at least having a positive attitude gives him a chance at improving this year.

Wasn't on for very long but about as good a cameo as you could want. I've noticed many times that he often tries stuff which gets fecked up by someone else, perhaps slightly risky but well worth the risk. He also as ever gets no protection from the referee ever. But his creativity and link up is excellent. I hope this is his year.
So disappointed in him, and I still miss nl max. He's probably my favourite United player and he was my favourite Eredivisie player even though Im an Ajax fan, I really wonder if she shows ability on the training pitch and it doesnt come off in games, or if the level is just to high for him atm.
Great 15mins. Dont care about the opposition because if he only destroys 'lessers' teams, that would represent 80% of the league.....
He seem allergic to English football though. Has been kinda bright vs European minnows... Perhaps hide him in the PL and give him more chance in Europa League to show case his ability then shift him out next summer for reasonable fee.
(punt intended)
There is a player in there somewhere.
He doesn't. He's shite unless proven otherwise.
Think seeing Martial come in and be so successful immediately got to him mentally. Last season he was supposed to be one of our best performers after we lost the likes of RVP, AdM, and (ahem) Falcao. This year, he's going to be viewed as a bench option until he proves otherwise. Hopefully the lowered expectations work to his advantage.
Well that didn't happen last season did it?
Last season, he did beat/bully lesser teams (eg Brugge, Midgetland, Shrewsbury), but the moment he came upon a EPL team (even a team struggling for relegation), he was shown up
He has basically started this season exactly how he was last season. And I do not believe he'll do anything special in the EPL.
In the League Cup and FA Cup against lesser sides, he would definitely be worth playing.
It feels like he has some bizarre mental block going on with the EPL. To me it looks as much a mental issue as anything right now.
Man Utd 0:0 Everton (Pre-season)
It's actually painful watching this guy wear the number 7. He's rubbish.
Loan him out to Southampton or somewhere.

Fixed it for you.
If he stays, hopefully he won't see much action this season. He's really not good enough for United.
And the no. 7 shirt has devalued alot the last couple of years. Di Maria, Valencia, Owen, now Depay. I'm past caring really.

That's a bit rich from Rooney to be honest, if we were to make a highlight reel of some of the things he attempted, such as a straight forward pass, we would have quite a bit to laugh about as well.
Is that you Wayne? The cheek!
Well, it's not really. Considering he has rattled in overhead kicks at both sides of the ground - he is entitled to giggle when somebody attempts one that badly.
Looks like he bulked up more, thought he was wearing shoulder pads at first.
I think he laughed because his son got excited. Also not sure what the commentator was on about, Memphis realised the cross was overhit and simply pulled out from the attempt.
Yeah, no shit, but in the last few years Wayne has had some incredible head-scratchers far worse than that. It simply looks bad because Depay realized it was an ambitious attempt due to a poor cross.
Should he be here ahead of Peirera or Januzaj?
As a winger, yes.
I have no idea what to make of this man.
He's capable of making runs behind the defensive line, thats good. But when he's on the ball, he's just so... worthless.
Now, I've seen him be good, mainly when he's up against lower teams, but how do you go from that to just be so crap. I mean, when he's up against lower team's defence, he uses his speed. Then when he's up against a Premier League team, he slows down and tries to beat a defender by standing still. How have he worked that out? Wouldn't he try to use his speed even more when he's up against a better defender? The player he's up against in a PL-team isn't automatically faster. He's probably smarter, but not by any means does he have to be faster.
He should really try to use his speed more. He should also work on his turns and changing of tempos.
Look at Rashford. He's not the quickest (still quick though), but he uses his speed and change of tempos to get past his defender. Smart kid.

People were saying he got better and will show his potential when he came on around 80th minute against the mighty Galatasaray and passed one defender.
I don't like to write off players this early but in his current situation (inconsistent backup player that isn't even guaranteed a place on the bench) I just struggle to see this going any other way than he'll be gone by next season.
There's definitely a good player in there but he seems to have gone backwards since he came here. Similar beginning to his reds career to that of Nani except that Nani showed enough to persist with despite the frustration.
Memphis hasn't.

Di Maria is a world class player. Owen is a Legend and Valencia (kinda) earned it the previous season.
Memphis is just crap. Scored all those goals in the Dutch league and is stealing a living at United. More interested in buying car seats and leather jackets with his brand logo on it rather than actually playing well.
Providing some miraculous turnaround, he's got to be our worst number 7 in the PL era. Ever since Martial joined us and basically stole his spot on the LM, he's been dire.
I wasn't able to see the match, but after watching this video with all his ball touches, I don't really see the issue. Only 1 time did he actually lose the ball, did a proper cross, and the rest of the match he was just average...
The thought of Martial being out of form scares me.
I'd rather play Young or Lingard at this point.

I said after last season, this is his last season at United if he does not improve drastically
Bizarre from @CamuNoir, not really sure what Memphis did wrong last night except for midjudging the height of a cross in the final seconds of the game. Completely baffling to see a United fan take so much joy in mocking one of his own players.
Feels a bit like the treatment Nani received from our brilliant fans all over again.
