He's a good player but not a player that would be suited to United in my eyes. Could see him at Arsenal or Monaco though.

Why isn't suited to Utd? He can cross exceptionally well, a great asset with Lukaku to aim for.
Is Mkhitaryan suited to Utd player? Is Mata suited to Utd?

This new thought that Utd can't sign flair players anymore because they aren't pure work horses is really annoying.

Mata represents the club well in my book.

Personally I didn't think Mkhi was a United player either when we signed him but he has his moments of brilliance. When you compare him to Giggs, Scholes, Keane and Beckham... is he that kind of player? In my opinion no. And I think that's one reason why we've declined over the years. Since Ferguson retired, we've thrown the United DNA out the window. We've been signing players like Memphis, Schneiderlin, Shaw, Martial... in my eyes none of them strike me as United players. It would be like Barcelona signing someone who can't pass. United need players who know what the club is all about. We have too many players in the team that don't have the winning mentality or don't work hard enough. Once they get signed, they think they've "made it". Roy Keane went there and felt the need to prove himself every damn week. Now we see this lot posting selfies and branding themselves and overall it's just embarrassing to watch.

Pogba is a great player but he would be amazing if he would just grow up and get a bit more aggression. Stop focusing on dancing and emoji's and stupid branding and work work work till he becomes the best midfielder in the world. Paul Pogba with Roy Keane's mentality would be one hell of a player. He wasn't doing this crap at Juventus either. And if you noticed, he was better off for it.
 
Absolutely disgusting performance, maybe he is telling with his performance he is not worth the money leicestor are asking for.
 
I get why Leicester rejected a roma bid of £27 million in today's market but his value is surely plummeting. Average at best last season and plain garbage tonight.
 
Needs to be fined.
Dereliction of duty.
Disgraceful. Some here want us to sign him.
 
I'd happily take him here and I think people are being incredibly harsh. You can see the Leicester players trust him and rely on him as an outlet. That's a better indication of his effort and commitment than selective views on here. He's skimped out on a few challenges but he's always been like that. He's also been a fundamental part of their counter-attacking game in both halves.

I'd love him here also. Would produce the numbers especially assists in our team.
 
Would not take him here at all.

Had 1 season where it all went right for him. He's not THAT good IMO.

Far better players out there.
 
Far too soft and lost the ball an awful lot, even when Leicester were playing well.
 
I firmly believe Nani is much better than this guy. People that want him are probably the same people that slated Nani for his inconsistency.
 
I think the penny finally dropped for him that the better he plays for us the more likely he gets his move, Win Win

that said their left back was really bad

I think so too. He needs to rack up the assists and goals even if he doesn't play in the CL. I think he's a talent but don't follow Leicester enough to know why he didn't do that well last season.
 
Too lazy / weak for Mourinho. Even though I want him here there's no chance it's going to happen imo
 
Would love to see him at United. Hope Mourinho locks him up in the dressing room after our game against Liecester and only lets him out after signing a contract with United :devil:. Just the sort of player we need on the right side ahead of Valencia.

you could just bid for him like a normal club
 
The annoying thing is whenever I watch Leicester he's a RW which is exactly what we're missing.

If his price really is 50 million or thereabouts it'd be silly to not at least try sign him.
 
If we had any interest, he would already be in our squad. Think we wont sign a player now, unless something happens with Perisic or maybe Aurier.
 
He doesn't have the mentality that Jose requires. Not for me. Not for United.
Perhaps better fit for Arsenal as they embrace weak mentality type of players.

This. Not even sure he isn't a one season wonder.

All this one season wonder talk is a load of bollocks. Can you honestly not tell that he's very good at football by just watching him play? He's one of the best players in the league on the ball, can get past players as good as anyone, has a good shot on him, good crosser of the ball. His defensive work rate might not be great, but that's not his game. He won the league with Leicester because he's an excellent player, not down to luck.

There's one thing I would never question about that Leicester bunch, and that's their mentality. They won the league as relegation favourites which takes a certain steel and determination. He's probably mentally stronger than a lot of the players in our squad- after all the best we've managed is 4th since Fergie left.

There are many players who were good and won League titles without being able to reproduce the kinda form they showed during their best season. He's a good player but he's also lazy and has a shitty attitude when things aren't going right. Football is more than just being good on the ball otherwise let's just sign Ben Arfa as he's available and cheaper.
