Hope he's pushed like Van Gaal did with Badstuber. Looked very composed again.
 
Very impressive and composed performance. Credit to him for taking his chance this pre-season, didn't think he had a future before the tour.
 
I know nothing of him from the reserves/youth team but I've been very impressed during pre-season.

He should definitely get games this season.
 
Should start against Swansea if Evans and Jones can't buck their ideas up. Both of them were shocking and Blackett looked so assured when he came on.
 
Crazy that he was getting torn a new one in the Championship with Birmingham just last season.
 
Given him a lot of stick for his lapse in concentration - but his showings in this tournament have been brilliant.
 
He looks like 30 year old who has been playing LCB for his entire career. Impressive.
His ability in one-on-one situations will be very useful as neither of Jones and especially Evans are good in these.
 
This role suits him, not are I'd want him as a CB or LB un a back four. But the back three seems to be ideal for him. 1st reserve at the very least for me at the moment.
 
The lad did well. Good to see youth team players doing well, hopefully he gets game time this season.
 
Honestly, I think he's better than Indi who played in the same position, under LvG.

Was good at Blackpool for the most part and wasn't terrible at Birmingham, just inconsistent.
 
He is so calm with the ball and always seems to take the right decision. Deserves to start against Swansea ahead of Evans based on the preseason games.
 
Playing on the left side of three centerbacks he only really has to worry about one side, and I think this gives him the confidence to aggressively charge forward to make interceptions and challenges. I don't think I would trust him in a flat back four just yet.
 
He looks a real talent. Solid, pacey, decent on the ball. Doesn't look rash at all so Phil Jones would do well to watch him.

Definitely needs to play if we're not buying anyone else because he's left sided so it adds much needed balance to the back three.
 
He's given me confidence in our CB issue, still think we'll need another CB but we've got some nice depth in there now.

Not just depth though, at this rate he deserves to start.
 
He's the only one in our back 3 that doesnt leave me nailbiting when he is on the ball. SO much composure and good defensively. Very impressed with him.

Well no, he wasn't just 'not terrible', he was dogshite and had an absolute nightmare at Birmingham. He was a liability at left back and I honestly had no hope of him coming back and having a successful career at United, but he's done that and so far excelled at centre back where he looks a much better prospect.
 
So impressive once again. Get him in the first team as soon as possible. He looks fantastic. I do agree that the back 3 system appears to suit him.
 
Hasn't put a foot wrong this tournament, has he ? With 3 at the back this year it seems obvious to me that he'll get his chances here, especially given their injury records. Looked faultless today, definitely the best centre-back we've had on the pitch tonight.

Think this is what's going on.
 
What I liked about him today is that he was very aggressive in his defending without going to ground. He was stepping out and applying pressure to attackers as soon as they received the ball. Also he looks like he has a great turn of pace, and of course we all can see how good he is on the ball. Looks like this guy will become a top player.
 
Smalling RCB, Evans middle, Blackett LCB for me for the Swansea game if we sign no one else.
 
Yeah, excellent player. I know it's only pre season but you can just tell he's class. Instantly improved our defence today.

Spot on. On the basis of the preseason, we should play Smalling, Blackett and one of Jones/Evans as CBs.
 
He had a big impact on settling our back 3 in the second half, he brought the ball out with confidence, read situations well and even stepped up centrally to head away one or two balls. Very impressive and has improved game by game on this tour.

This.

Except for the first half vs Roma very impressive.

Not sure what to make of him now though as he does't have experience of doing well in the first team anywhere so far.
 
Great player, surely he'll be in LVG's smaller squad this season. Also removes the need to buy 2 CBs, just need 1 now.
 
I'm sure that he will become one of LvG's favourites, if he isn't already. He has really impressed this pre-season.
 
Very impressed with him. Think he can become better than Smalling.
 
He's been too consistent to not be considered a top young talent imo. Today was his best performance (no mean feat considering how good he's been in the rest of the pre-season). He looked such an intelligent defender today, didn't tackle from behind (Jones) and marshalled his man perfectly. He was especially good in one-on-one situations. I'm really excited for him. He'll definitely get chances this season imo. Hope he continues his pre-season form into the Premier League.
 
Is it was to much of a stereotype to say that he reminds me of a young Rio?
