Since Scholes, Keane and Giggs left, we have never really properly fixed the midfield. You wonder if United will ever have a balanced world-class midfield again.
Right now in terms of balance, the team is a complete shambles.

Really not sure that excuse is there anymore. When Mata was playing with a past-it Rooney, Lingard, Memphis and a new Martial, then maybe there's an excuse, although as a senior player he's supposed to take more responsibility, which he only did occasionally.
Now, with Mkhi, Rashford, Martial, Pogba, Lukaku he should have improved. If anything he's gotten worse since the quality around him improved.
