An ad hominem as the first response? Genuinely unsurprised.Another one. “Goofy” tells me you’re American. That isn’t surprising.

No and no. But that fact you bring it up as if it's relevant is pretty telling. You already knew that though.Why are you feeling attacked? Did I misidentify you?
By some or even a decent amount yes.Hated by United fans?
I’m being judgemental. I can’t relate to the way you support players/teams but that’s ok. To each their own.
Havent seen any hate from United fans, especially if it's been that often, maybe I missed it.By some or even a decent amount yes.
Of course much more love and appreciate him but unfortunately for the most part hate is always louder. That's just the way the world is in general tbh

Every midfielder is susceptible to losing the ball under the right pressure.As I said before, he can play to a very decent level in that position against most teams in PL.
People will bring up about being pressed against some. Well, the player has to deal with it himself first. Just because he might get pressed and lose the ball does not mean we need to surround him with 4 Kantes every time.
Exactly. So, it does not make sense people trying too hard to accommodate him with a bunch of players names throwing around while playing in the position he plays today.Every midfielder is susceptible to losing the ball under the right pressure.
You really haven't been reading the caf this past year or so. Some were convinced his covid was a bad excuse for being unfit and that he was for sure leaving in January. All kinda nonsense based on feck all was spouted about him.Havent seen any hate from United fans, especially if it's been that often, maybe I missed it.
I've seen a lot of shit being spouted by the press but that goes with the territory of being a star sometimes.
If he decidesd to leave I don't think that was the main reason. And also he isn't blameless in the whole story, his manager even more.
In any case I'd like him to stay but let's not portray him as some kind of victim.

"He's stealing celebrations. The manager needs to have a word."
You leapt on a simple comment. Calm down.
He’s been terrific from LAM but he’s been lacking as a CM. Today with Matic was a marked improvement in his all round play reminiscent of their Burnley partnership in terms of allowing each other to play their natural game.
It looks like he is giving his all this season to win something and sign that thing.I've never seen him so happy on the pitch for us, like.
C'mon on Pogs, sign it.
I'm from North America (not the States though), while what you are describing does happen, I don't think it's as commonplace as you are making it out to be. Yes, there are people of often of Portuguese or Argentinian descent who will blindly follow Messi and Ronaldo around. A lot of people choose a team and stick with it. Most people I know who are passionate fans (and aren't just watching the world or euros every 2 years) have a club they heavily support whether it's United, Arsenal, Chelsea, or Liverpool (occasionally you see some of the big Euro teams, but EPL has been the most accessible to watch for the past 3 decades, and usually those 4 teams are easy to watch between league and CL play).Of course it’s relevant. Americans have a different attitude to supporting players and clubs to European fans. You often choose an individual player to support and follow him from club to club. That’s pretty alien to United fans this side of the pond. Or as you might put it, “goofy”.
Exactly. So, it does not make sense people trying too hard to accommodate him with a bunch of players names throwing around while playing in the position he plays today.
And when he does have a bad game they’ll pretend that for every decent game he plays, he has three poor performances.He’s got to be due 68 poor games by now…..I can’t understand this ratio thing. Come on Paul sort it out, there’s posters on this forum waiting to post in this thread and they’ve had about three chances since January….it’s just not fair

Where are all the folks who kept telling us that he's leaving next year on a free and is going to be half arsed to play football, so stick him in the reserves!Remember the ‘fake’ injury when he had to film himself before and after an operation
Our best player this season so far.
There seems to be a change in him after Ronaldo arrival.
The pressure seems to be off him, with all the attention on Ronaldo, thus allowing him to focus on what he needs to do.
In the past it seemed that he is the player who is suppose to carry the team. With that off his shoulders, he looks happier and even celebrating so hard on his teammates goals. Never seen that before but a promising year to come from him.
I'm amazed at how fit these footballers are. They just sprinted around all game and still have the energy to do other things after the game. I would be knackered.
Make him believe. Thats it. When you believe you can achieve something, then you try even harder. That's how Sir Alex had a midfield of Jones and Rafael and Cleverley and still won the leagueHow the feck did he suddenly look like he could do his share of defending in that deeper midfield role? Was absolutely brilliant yesterday and has been since the start of the season. Added more assists. Let's hope he continues this run of consistency.
