He looks great. Strong and skilful.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.

There is no way this lad is a '#6' 'DM' or whatever you want to call it. Just no chance.
It'd be such a waste to play him there.

Agreed. Sight to behold when he's dribbling the ball on an open pitch. Covers so much ground with those huge strides of his. Like a gazelle.
Would love to see him here in Fellaini's position though
A poor mans Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
That assist tonight was the sort of thing I want to see Fellaini doing most games.
Not that I'm getting down on Fellaini, he's had a great season, but he's well capable of adding that sort of threat.
Just isn't always as clever in terms of movement and getting himself onside etc.

Put one on the others shoulder and have them run around and ram people.
Some engine on the lad.
maybe Jason Burt bases on his jersey
I thought defensively he played well in that midfield, not his best game on the ball though.
I thought he was rubbish tbh, and expected a lot more considering the hype he's been getting.
He was adequate, certainly nothing to get excited about.
Hah. I was thinking that they're similar today. fecking Chelsea.
A nice upgrade on Fellaini with Gundagon.. We are good to go next season.
The commentators definitely went overboard.
He wasn't greatly involved, under 40 touches I believe.
What he did, he did largely well. When he tried to be too clever he usually lost it.

He is just back from injury played his first match on Saturday in 2 months.
Just lacks the match sharpness tbh.

Just because a journalist says it doesn't mean that's what LVG is thinking, I doubt Van Gaal told him that.
He's not the only one thats been saying it. Plenty on here have touted him as a 'Carrick replacement'.
Think Fellaini could do that by himself to be honest.
Just came back from injury I guess. Will be intrigued to see how he does in the final
In truth, he had 1-2 good moments but was bang average after that.
Didn't see him for large parts of the game and he had a few terrible passes to lose possession in the final third but every now and then you could see his class. Just lacks match sharpness perhaps.
Wasn't very good, commenatators are as bad as the press. Been watching too much YouTube the cnuts!
The commentators were creaming over him when he went off and then his stats popped up on the screen; something like 26 passes 75% pass completion rate!
Was poor
Thought he was rubbish in the first half but much improved after the break. There's no doubting his talent but he's not the finished article.
Yup, had a quiet game. Not sure what the commentators were on about.
harsh on 36m herrera
Looking through some of the comments, you'd think people haven't realised he's just come back from after 2 months out with a hamstring injury. He wasn't great tonight, but considering he's been out for quite long, in a game of such magnitude, I'd say he done pretty damn well. Also played a massive part in the goal.
Blatantly rusty as anything but I'm glad I didn't have to endure a great performance. I'm pretending he's like that all time.
its some desperation to be proven right about something most are 100% wrong about.
The commentators I was listening to seemed to think that not cracking under pressure of the big game was enough to heep praise on him. And fair enough he made no major blunders and he is still quite young.
2 months out, thrown right back into a CL semi final away from home and voila, a below average performance. Just what the caf needed to justify the hurt they have within them from us letting him go.
He'll be challenging for Ballon D'or in the next few years.
Poor, which is understandable given he's just coming back after a while.
Ya needs to learn, this is a public forum & whatever ya say will be open to debate.
Simply pointing out the error of your opinion. Quit being butt hurt & back up your opinion with something that may actually support what you're trying to get across. For myself I've never seen any comment from Pogba saying he has any issues with Manchester United, simply that he felt he wasnt given the chances he felt he deserved by Fergie.
Aye, Pogba would be a perfect fit next to Herrera and with a holding midfielder behind him/them.
Yep agree with that but for £50M+ there are much better options out there from what I am seeing for what we need right now. Someone like say a Modric would help us far more in the next 2-3 years. Pogba is an unbelievable prospect though no doubt about it.
Coming off an injury so obviously not very involved.
Does seem to posses loads of technical ability though. Changes direction so easily.
Despite so much talk here I've barely seen the guy.

I actually thought he looked fairly decent last night. Did all the simple things right. Crucial header for the goal as well.
I always rated Modric and was a huge advocate of signing him from Spurs a year or two before Madrid came swooping, but I think it is a bit too late now, better to look for a younger player who can be part of the core of the team for the long term.
Whilst the prices touted for Pogba are pretty silly, if he is with the club 5-10 years and/or we resell him for a similar fee, you have to consider it good business. I would rather £60m for Pogba than £30m for Modric, for this reason.
