He plays to the level of the team around him, always has.

Impossible for him to succeed under the current levels of scrutiny - he seems to be judged to a completely different standard to anyone else in the team, and most others in the division.

He topped the stats for United in the following categories last season;

Goals
Assists
Passes completed
Chances created
Successful take ons
Key passes
Shots on target

It’s ludicrous that he bears the brunt of the criticism, and I think it says it all that clubs like Juve and Madrid are immediately interested when he comes available, despite the mammoth finances it would take.

theres no doubt he is utter quality, however jose stifled him somewhat.

hes a maverick who needs to have a team built around him and just let him pull strings. you need 2 decent holding players behind him to let him go...its no suprise that him & kante work so well as a pairing.

agree - wudnt touch him with a barge pole if I was getting millions of pounds a year for being a world class manager, which still hasn't quite happened for me yet, tho he's not as much of a waster as Sanchez, but who is?

And there was me thinking someone had seen him in the Sainsburys car park
