Super composed, rarely loses the ball and the control/touch for Dalot to cross in the ball to TSP. Wow. Going to be some player if he continues on this path.

Probably playing in the most intense demanding position in our team in which since the start of the years I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s hitting the top of the distance run charts.

Looked a bit leggy towards the end. The international break will do him good. I also think being on a yellow card probably stopped him from being as aggressive as he wanted to be .

Will be a top player , can’t wait to see him in a team with a few improvements around him

Another solid performance. We need a grown up with legs next to him in there to see the best of him

Lovely bit of work to get the ball to Dalot for the cross to The Scottish Player.

Tough night but kept running, kept battling and kept making himself available to take he ball.

Performances like Wolves away make headlines, but performances like tonight make careers.

Would still like a midfielder with a bit of presence alongside him.

Right on cue

What a strange thing to call footballers tbh.

But then what do you expect from influencers and various internet dullards.

those idiots in that video talking about football are exactly the kind of middle class, milk sop tossers who wouldn't have anything to do with the sport if it wasn't a way to get views and money.

I genuinely £#%&!ing despise all of them. A symptom of the rampant gentrification of football and the kind of absolute weapons and bottom feeders that grift off of it.

Especially coming from a BTEC Groucho Marx.

Given his age, there will always be games where he seems less involved, especially as he plays in arguably the most demanding part of the pitch, physically.

Even though he's been quieter in the last couple of games, I've still rarely seen him misplace a pass, or pick the wrong option. Every start he gets is priceless experience for his development.

Some may not like the comparison as he plays for Liverpool, but he reminds me a lot of Thiago Alcantara. Has the same zip to his passes, and eagerness to push the play forward consistently.

I really like watching him play, and I haven't said that about a United midfielder other than Paul Pogba in a long time.

Was he expected to be this good throughout his academy years or has his step up been a surprise?

Then why watch/post them? Don't let them in your head I only know about these type of people because they're posted on here. They're not part of my world.

Well said. These grifters only exist to get a rise out of us.

Remember calling me mum one time and she was really pissed off about something that #@&%! Robbie Savage had said on Talksport

ffs

That booking today was an absolute joke. Game saving tackle that he executed perfectly.

Love the lad.

The ref's mind couldn't comprehend that level of skill. The little touch on the ground after the tackle too :chefs kiss:
