I’ve never really understood some of the hate The Scottish Player gets. As with other players, he’s not at the level needed to be starting every week for us, but he’s nowhere near as bad as some people make out. Can’t remember who it was, but the other week someone said he was so bad he doesn’t even belong in the Premier League ffs |

If he can become a valuable squad player going forward then surely that's a good thing. |

Under Ole, there wasn’t really much difference between any of our midfielders. Now, we have 2 genuinely world class starters, so you’re going to see a drop off when a squad player comes in. |

As dunk said he’s far better playing further forward than he is as a holding midfielder (because he isn’t one). |

The problem with The Scottish Player is that he was basically an automatic pick for so long because our midfield was woefully understaffed. Familiartiy bred a bit of contempt. He's not terrible, at all, but he is definitely not good enough to be a regular in a United side that wants to win trophies. I also can't readily identiy what kind of midfielder he is - DM? Box to Box? AM? His best performances for us always seem to be when he has been able to drive forward. Defensively he's not good enough to be a screen for the defense. I'd have no problem with him being kept in the squad but I suspect he'll end up at a lower PL team as a first team choice. |

26 year old midfielder who hides from the ball when out of possession, cant hold his position, cant tackle , isn't intelligent enough think ahead and anticipate what is going to happen and be there when it does like Carrick but yeah he isn't so bad
he is shit . the actual definition of shit. a shit midfielder and we'd love to play against him and/also love if he was coming on against us. he scored a few goals in the week for Scotland and ironically the ones saying 'we've been to hard on him' are using goal scoring to pat him on the back. the other polarising opinion of the same clowns In addidition to this would lead you to question why 'certain' players are praised for various irrelevant aspects of their game which are not in the essential job description of their deployed position I know what it is. |

also he is not premiership standard. let’s pick three run of the mill premiership teams. villa, Brentford, Brighton. you think that coward starts for them in CDM? Quote:
The difference is closing down players apparantly. championship player + run around closing down the opposition = Manchester United striker? No? |

Remember when you said he wouldn’t play 5 games under Rangnick and then started the next five games? Why does it have to be CDM, btw? That’s not where he’s most effective. You know he’s linked to Newcastle and not Preston, right? More than happy to take a bet with anyone that, if he leaves this summer, he doesn’t drop down to the championship. |
