I'm lost for words. I was so happy when we signed him and Darmian, yet both have been woeful for a long time. I don't understand.
 
I say this after every match which he plays.
What did he actually do during the match? The invisible man.
 
Not fair to judge him or anyone under Van Gaal. Over two seasons, the only person who's actually thrived under his leadership is the one who has had the least to do with Van Gaal and his coaching. i.e. the goalkeeper.

Well Fellaini got injured and LVG doesn't like Herrera so I guess that's that.

It's embarassing though. We have a manager who seems to deliberately make our team worse. Even if for whatever reason Schneiderlin seemed a better option, the time to admit this was a very obvious mistake and change it was lliterally after about half an hour.

I was in no way expecting both Schneiderllin and Carrick to come out for the second half. It was so obvious we neeeded to change things there...I mean even without Herrera I'd have moved Blind up and just found someone else to play in defence. It was either that or basically just accept not being able to win the game...which is what we did.

That's probably right to a degree in fairness.

Van Gaal managed to turn Di Maria into a pub player so it's not a stretch to think he can do it to pretty much anyone else.
 
This guy is really the one thats really baffles me out of our summer purchases and his form for us.
Darmian, new country, loss of confidence, I can understand...
Depay, young kid, new country, 100x harder a league.

What the feck is Schneidlerlins excuse? don't tell me he's not good enough, he's been a top quality performer, week in, week out for Southampton for the past 2 years.
 
He's a good player and still one of the best DMs in the Prem.

He's a victim of LVG's tumescent football and the below par players around him. Mourinho will love him and flourish.

All he's done so far is make me go from being a bit miffed where his reputation came from, to completely baffled.

Gary Neville waxing lyrical on Sky Sports. I'm going to wait if he turns out to be decent under a new manager before going all **** on him.

Yeah but I remember him going on about how well he was playing against us once, and being confused because he was actually quite rubbish. We were just going through their midfield all game.

Most of the caf built him up as the ideal DM signing last summer, but right now, he's right up there as one of our worst players. He genuinely looks unnaturally uncomfortable with the ball ATM.

I think many noted that he was more of a defensively great #8/box-to-box than a pure defensive midfielder or deep-lying playmaker. Taking over most of the defence-screening burden in midfield for a more attacking team was always something he had to adapt to.
 
He's not good enough to play for the club, he has been a passenger in pretty every single game he's played in. He was giving it the big I am and wanting to leave Southampton to move to a bigger club and now he has he looks overwhelmed and completely out of place.

No!

I'm convinced Schneidi will come good. His early season form was good (not great), and he's dipped since the turn of the year...but then again, these are players under LvG. Replace the manager with someone who isn't so rigid and pig headed and he'll come good. I'm sure of it.
 
His ability on the ball has pretty much died. Thats not LVG's doing, thats just him being crap.

I hope he can still come good though
 
Its his first season but he does have EPL experience unlike Depay and Darmian. Watching him though I can't help but remember reading up on here about how SAF was adverse to DMs, he felt to be a United CM meant being a well rounded player. Morgan seems like a pure DM indeed and they've proven their worth throughout world football, he just needs to play in correct combination.
 
Midtjylland 2:1 Man Utd
I thought he was worse than Herrera when he came on.

Well maybe not worse, but did you even notice him on the pitch? He just goes into hiding. It's frustrating.
 
I'm totally baffled when he's brought on late in the game.

What's he going to do? Either start him or bring him on for an injured player if you have to. He's never going to change a game or particularly lock it down.
 
This guy doesn't deserve his own thread. Should be closed and he can feck off. I said he was shite from day one and he's just getting worse. An absolute waste of £25m. Makes me sick when I think of the players van Gaal turfed out for the likes of Schneiderlin, Darmian and Depay.
 
I honestly dont think we will see the best of him (likewise with other players) until LVG moves on.
 
Was flabbergasted when he was brought on. What a negative substitution. Should have been Pereira.

I expect he will be much improved next season (not much to base this on, just a hunch) but he has been really disappointing so far.
 
Shrewsbury 0:3 Man Utd
Has someone told him the ball has a contagious disease? He just looks so jittery in possession. At least he made some decent tackles tonight.
 
Man Utd 5:1 Midtjylland
Been impressed with him in this half. Like Memphis, it looks like his found himself in his game. Remembered who he is and who he plays for.
 
one of his best games, our overall performance goes up with his, just need to maintain this hunger and focus and he will be great..
 
Genuinely shocked. He was adventurous, imposing, not a coward... it was a normal, combative midfield performance. Now do the same thing on Sunday.
 
He bossed it today. Instead of staying back, being cowardly and passing it sideways he was so much more adventurous today. Today was probably the first time since the Everton game where I saw him in the box and having a shot. And he did it like 4 times!
