Our emergency striker who was supposed to be the sole striker in the squad can't play as a striker. He has no standout abilities at this level, just not up to scratch.
 
You can't fault his work-rate, but he's just crap. He's second to basically every ball.

Injuries and suspensions have forced him to get so many minutes, but with Casemiro and McTominay back he surely can't be starting any more games unless it's against relegation fodder.
 
I’d be interested in seeing his running stats for this game. Was everywhere, non-stop. Outstanding in that aspect.

Should have scored twice though. As of right now, a weak link in the team.
 
Quality is sadly not something that just comes, you either have it or you don't. 2W doesn't have it.
 
He moves like he's running in water - PITA to play against, but no threat whatsoever, yet.
 
He was excellent today apart from his appaling finishing. Anyone who says he is crap must be watching a different sport.
 
What? Useless? We don't have that second half without him. He was immense.

I see a lot still don't get what he brings.
 
I would, honestly, keep him as a squad option. I think he'd be happy as a backup and can come on and make a nuisance out of himself.
 
He's rubbish.

Clearly a level below the players around him.
 
Worst finisher to ever play as a striker for United? Makes Bellion, Dong, and Manucho look like Ronaldo, Messi, and Lewandowski. His aerial play/jumping is absolutely laughable given his height.

But I know, I know. He's industrious and a fighter etc...
 
Is Martial out for the season? I'd take his random 1 in 5 games appearances this season at this rate. Hopefully Wout improves going forward because right now he doesn't offer much and Ten Hag so far feels compelled to play him since he brought him.
 
Imagine when we get a great player in his position.

He works hard, but has done alright for a loan.
 
Finally a system player who's working for us because of brilliant coaching.
 
Worked hard, constant pain in the arse all game, created space in behind, dropped deep and got involved, tracked back and defended well. If he scored a goal he'd probably be MOTM.

Still looks like he's not destined to play at the top but he's useful.
 
Just read someone saying he was fantastic today :lol:

He was. Winning the tackles, linking up play, a couple of through balls. Made the run that allowed Sancho and Bruno to create the 3rd goal. You put someone who works hard that high up the field, you're bound to unsettle the opposition defence. These are the intangibles people don't see. Footballers can't all be Dimitar Berbatov.
 
I loved how much he celebrated Sancho’s goal. He can’t score for shit but works his balls off and should have had an assist
 
He was excellent today apart from his appaling finishing. Anyone who says he is crap must be watching a different sport.

If he could finish (and dominate in the air) he'd be absolutely immense like Lewa level and not on loan to us.

He's impossible to hate really, but don't think he's good enough as a striker for us. You have to be able to finish at this level.
 
Despite his limitations we do well with him ….more lucky team mascot than striker
 
He should've had 2 assists if not for some dodgy finishing. Speaking of finishing, my God Wout... in the end it seemed like the whole team was trying to actively set him up which was funny.
 
He is kind of like the Fellaini of strikers. Moves like he is walking in treacle, but gives his all every game and hunts down every loose ball. Rather unfortunate not to score but he offers something as a squad player for sure
 
Tried his best but it didn't come off. He needs to get his scoring confidence up with a goal soon.
 
Yeah thought he had a very good game. Never going to be a top striker but he’s a good player and contributing well. Would be fantastic if he was just a back up to a great striker but oh well.
 
I thought he was good today - would have been a complete performance if he had scored. He created a lot of chances, did great counter pressing and won the ball back quite a few times. He may not score the goals atm but he's doing everything else really well
