But one will happily provide useful back up, the other is allegedly a first team regular.

Great thread despite the negative energy from cardie gang!

Super juan to guide us into the cl just like last season.

Doesn't seem to have complained much when he's been dropped this season. Strikes me as a model pro.

More than happy to see him stay and fight for his place with better competition and a better right back.

Lovely bloke

He is, but we are neither playing to his strengths nor mitigating his weaknesses.

Can't you dunk and billy take it to a whatsapp group ?

Love Mata, he's no ronaldo or scholes or anything, but he's a good playing being made to look worse by how he's used and how the team plays.

He's got the potential to be a high scoring high assisting playmaker and we shunt him out wide and surround him with players who are scared of playing intricate passing in tight spaces.

For someone who's slow, short and weak, he gets into great goalscoring positions every game and always looks to make stuff happen. If every attacker we had did that we'd score a lot more goals.

None of that front 4 today are good enough players to start most weeks if we want to become a great side again.

Lingard especially.

I think both of these statements are true fwiw

It's a thread about Mata, you balloon.

Would keep him even if in more squad capacity. Don't think we should look to be offloading our goalscorers tbh

Apart from the youth players -for the obvious reasons- Mata is the one player I would most love to see light up OT on a regular basis. He is a person of tremendous quality.

Silva is quicker on the ball and quicker in movement. Also miles better with his movement and picking of a pass. He's overrated too btw, as is Isco. Great technically, but lacking the rest..

As in finding space, making runs, losing markers etc. Have you heard of it?

Doing these things quickly and imaginatively can be beneficial. Difficult to tell as a United fan these days.
