He's a very big, strong lad now and looks a bit ponderous with that. Acceleration isn't great. Doesn't cover the ground the way Fletcher or Hargreaves would, say.
However, his straight line speed isn't bad and with his size, his momentum makes him difficult to stop when he trundles off on a run. Reminds me an awful lot of Lampard (who I never rated until the last year or so) but has a much nicer range of passing.
I tell you what, whatever about United, he should be one of Trap's first names on his teamsheet (hopefully in South Africa next summer).
