The weird thing is, he actually isn't. I've seen him play absolutely superbly for Belgium.
But it's just mourinho. He just ruins these players.

His touch is awful though. For Belgium he is good I agree but thats what? 20% of the year, the rest he is awful.

Half decent finisher but I look at him and Kane, Kane looks much silkier with the ball, with Lukaku the ball just bounces off him

He's unstoppable when in the mood, and has the ball under some control but that's just it... His first touch is just woeful for a top level professional.

Not world class imo, but a real handful and even explosive on his day, but other days he's just powder puff.

I said it earlier but it got lost in the goal being scored. He’s standing next to vvd rather than Lovren. Why, it’s stupid?

He goes over to the other side and then crosses the ball for the goal. I know it was a keeper mistake but does Van dijk let the cross in like Lovren does? I’m not sure.

Mata is woefully underused by Utd imo. They have a severe lack of quality and control in the final third, yet Mata barely features.

Would actually love us to try and sign him, although his wages are probably out of our reach. Doubt he’d start for us every game but I’m sure would get more opportunities for us.

Allison has made as many errors leading to goals in the league this season as mignolet and Karius combined last season

Trouble is, Utd's rivals have players who can score 25+ league goals a season, so the pressure is really on him...and he's only ever got 20+ league goals in a season once

Klopp, Pep or Poch would get more out of him for sure, but I'm not sure he'll ever reach the heights of European football
