For a guy who has played 14 professional games in his career, he's performing better than I expected. He's not a sudden world class option, but you really can't criticise him at all.

Can't blame him for the long balls and it's good to see him very vocal in the back line.

I think first game he was the hoofer to Fellaini. But yeah agree that he should be more selective. He has made some diagonals in pre season but cannot do it every time.

He was doing it before Fellaini came on though. He had a couple of successful ones after Fellaini did come on thats true.

We've definitely seen him manage a few nice long balls, its not that he's incapable its that he seems to need about 5 poor ones for each good one.
 
He was good. If we had a midfield that showed for the ball, he wouldn't be knocking up long balls.
 
Very impressive today. Didn't put a foot wrong in defence, although his passing wasn't as good as normal.
 
Not perfect but looks reasonably comfortable at this level. Don't like long balls without a purpose but the midfield weren't exactly offering much in terms of passing options.
 
Our best player on the pitch. Only one who didn't look a nervous wreck. He has more leadership qualities in his pinky finger than Rooney has.
 
Nicest surprise in this current state of absolute chaos. Van Gaal loves intelligent players with solid control who can provide team with organization on the field.

If the player will work hard and listen then we may have magnificent defender for ten years straight from Old Trafford.
 
Would a Rojo - Blacket CB pairing work in a 433? It would be a shame if he ended up getting less appearances once we utilise the 433 since he's been very good so far.
 
I am quite comfortable with him starting games for us now. Taken the chance given with aplomb.
 
Really taken his chance well. I feel far more comfortable with him playing than I do with Jones or Keane.
 
Really like the cut of this fella's jib.
 
His passing of all ranges was a bit off today but all in all he did well. Once again. Promising. Love how he mindfcuked the lino into changing that corner decision.
 
One of our better players today. It's a shame our results haven't been better because he'd be getting more recognition despite the fact that our bigger issues are in the attacking third as opposed to the defensive third.
 
He showed more maturity in these two games than Jones did since he came here. Good with the ball, very good physically, pretty much everything you see in modern CB. Of course his positioning can be better, but I can definitely see him playing decent role for us.
 
He is raw no doubt but he has a lot of potential. Positioning and passing a bit off but nothing he can't rectify.

van Gaal is the right coach to mould him into a good CB.
 
Give this man a payrise, not Tom Cleverley. A contract termination would naturally be preferred for Cleverley.
 
He's been the bright spot of the 2 games so far for me. He shouldn't immediately be sent to the U21s because of Rojo's purchase. He should be a constant part of our squad now.
 
This year's Januzaj for me so far. Every game I've watched that he's played in, he's looked pretty damn solid.

Keane and Smalling need replacing in my view.
 
Solid performance. But need to be more adventurous carrying the ball forward. He hesitated a few times but what am i to complain, still one of the better performers yesterday
 
If Smalling is ruled out, I can see him playing next week again with Rojo playing CB in Smalling 's place.

Great game from him, really solid defensively.
 
Makes little mistakes here and there but can't really blame him because he's not experienced at this level. Still arguably the best defender we had the past two games.
 
Another decent performance from him. I like how he is confident enough to carry the ball forward when given the chance. Still has a bit to do before I'd be convinced to trust him there long terms
 
This kid is already showing he can match our other older and more experienced CBs punch for punch. If he was a Southampton player they'd be rating him at 20M plus
