Youri Tielemans

I thought that he looked like he had the class to hold his own in a better team. He clearly has talent.
 
Tielemans showed great composure for most of the game and unlocked our defense with some nice passes as well. His midfield play is very mature for a 19 year old.

Aside from his well taken goal, I thought Dendoncker was pretty average tbh.

Yeah, I thought he could've done more marshalling the midfield and taking advantage of Miki's awful touch all game but I think he showed promise. Well taken finish, and I think like Art says above Tielemans looked very composed with the occasion. Not bad from either party.
 
Far too young for a big move, he should stay where he is for another 2-3 years and develop or else he'll end up playing for Stoke by the time he turns 25
 
Had a slow game tonight. I'm just glad we didn't give him any opportunities to take those long range shots that he's good at. All in all, a disappointing draw. We should have closed the game out with a 1-0 win. Dendocker scored a great equalizer but no one from Anderlecht actually stood out for me.
 
Apart from his debut season at 16, his performances have never lived up to the hype.

Certainly improved this season, but still nowhere near ready for an English top team.
Fortunately for him, he and his advisors seem to know it too and won't take the big step too soon.

The talent is there, but as long as he gets muscled off the ball so easily time and again, he won't become the player people expect him to be based on some youtube compilations.

In his defence (despite what people say) he was against Pogba who is an excellent midfielder quite a few years his senior.
 
Wasn't really that impressed, in fact I was more impressed by the goalscorer.
 
I thought he did fine, he's a 19 year old up against 2 very experienced CM's, he picked out some nice passes and pressed well.
 
Some people acting like he's the next coming of christ, he didn't do shite all game pretty much.

Can't agree with you on that ones...excellent work-rate, good passing, good physique and maturity 10 years ahead of his age. That guy will go far...wouldnt mind if we signed him
 
I was impressed. Not a 10/10 performance by any means, but a balanced & mature match from a well-rounded midfielder, who turns 20 in a few weeks. Should've been booked which would've given us a slight advantage for the 2nd leg (suspension), as he's clearly their most important player (small sample size admittedly), runs things from the bottom of that midfield. Looks physically well developed, too.
 
He was better in the second half when they more aggressive and he pushed a bit higher. Definitely a talent.
 
There's very little chance of him staying with Anderlecht but he could definitely do with another season there. If he does move then his best bet would be to go to a club in Ligue 1 which isn't PSG where he'll be guaranteed plenty of game time.
 
I thought he was decent in the second half and picked some nice passes. Still, him and Dendoncker got completely bossed by Pogba and Carrick. Not exactly ready for a move to this level yet. Monaco, though, might indeed be a good place for him to go and continue his development.
 
I have no idea how anyone could have watched that performance and be imprsssed. He was below average.

Pogba completely bossed him and he constantly gave the ball away.

He got better in the second half, but still very underwhelming.
 
I wasn't impressed. He wasn't sub standard like most of Anderlecht's players but Pogba made him look like a boy out there. He would get lost if he came to the PL right now.

You must have missed a lot of his passing so throughout the game? Passing wise he was excellent. You would want Pogba to boss him at this stage, he's 23 years old and has years of experience playing for two European giants.

Kid has made 168 senior apps and 30 in Europe. He is no baby.
 
Please, do not buy kids. Please stop ruining them. There is no point buying kids as long as the manager is Mourinho.

His passing was better in the second half, but he underhit a bunch of passes in the first half.
 
Really mature performance for his age, obviously still needs 2-3 seasons before he can be considered for United.

That's why Rashford has had the most games out of all our wingers this season in the Premier League.
