At the Copa America and so far for United he has looked extremely static. Waiting for the ball to come to him and laying it off as soon as he can, rather than being proactive in looking for space, running at defenders and moving for the return pass. And as you say, he doesn't seem at all comfortable accelerating to top speed.

Exactly, there's quite a noticeable difference in his play. To be honest, I'm still just delighted that he's here, so I'm happy to be patient and wait for them to get him up to speed. Even if it takes a few months.
