McNeil at Burnley is a classy player. Perhaps doesn’t have the attacking output needed to earn himself a big move just yet, but he moves so well with the ball. He has great technique (despite that last shot of his!) and good football IQ.

From Burnley’s opponents today, Calvert-Lewis has obviously gone up a level or two but Richarlison is the one I’d pick from their squad. Still quite raw in certain areas of his game, but he has the speed, aggression, and physique to operate at this level, coupled with the ability to score in a variety of way and good attacking instincts.

I've loved watching James Rodriguez in the prem. Fantastic player, shades of Hoddle in his passing and vision. Helps that he plays for Everton who I've never minded as a team. Would he suit us under Jose? Hell no.

Anguissa at Fulham, hadn’t seen him before this season but I happen to have watched Fulham’s last three games and he’s really impressed for me.

Seems like he’s starting to show why Fulham forked out £30m for him a few years back.

Lookman was a clever signing. Very naturally talented and seems like he just needed a run of games. Perhaps don’t let him take penalties, though.

Bruno Fernandes influences games. End of Story

Yep. Plays with his head up all the time, and isn’t afraid of trying to make something happen in the final third. He’s so direct. He’s also got the mentality of a winner and leader.

I don’t think he’s as physically dynamic as De Bruyne, who’s still the better player, but the one thing he does have over the Belgian is a consistent knack of scoring goals at decisive moments.

Kalvin Phillips continues to impress me. He’d work well with PEH

Agree with the above BF is quality. One that got away for us.

United would be so fucked without him. He's the only one who delivers week in week out.
The CD they bought from Leicester forget his name at the moment was outstanding yesterday and has been playing well whenever I have seen them on the TV.

Fofana? He looks so good. Arsenal have seemingly signed the wrong centre back from St Etienne. James Justin at wingback also looks like a talent in that Leicester back line.

I know Sheff Utd have been very poor this season, but Sander Berge is an interesting player. He needs to add more aggression to his game, but it’s rare to see someone his height (6’5) with such technical qualities playing in central midfield.

Fofana is on Leicester. The Leicester CB signed by United was the £80m slab head who enjoys being made to look like a fool, Maguire

Yeah Phillips is a good player. Grealish has been a joy to watch this season too.

Che Adams has stepped up since Ings was out injured too, still shocked we demolished Southampton the way we did, they aren't easy to play against.

If you get chance to see the Southampton Liverpool game tonight watch KWP against Mane. What have we let go? Comeing back to Grealish, what a joy to watch him and its a massive, massive pang when I think we could have signed him.

We did fuck up but you have to remember he's not playing like this under Mourinho as his confidence was shot and had to move on really, I hate and love the fact that he's doing so well but you have to credit his manager for getting the best out of him, Southampton is the best place for him at the moment so good luck to him.

Not one of Poch's finest moments that.

I'd go as far as saying the mismanagement of KWP was Poch's biggest mistake.

Maybe Mourinho could've made more of an effort to turn things around for him but I think the damage was already done.

Raphina at Leeds looks a player. James Justin, Skipp, Grealish, and Mount are impressing me.








ok maybe not Mount :whistle:

Maguire?? You obviously didn't see our 6-1 win or any of the other opening 10 matches of United's season....Honestly looked like they'd overpaid by about £79.5m.
