Player comments about Manchester United teammates, managers, staff or the club in general.
Here’s how on-loan United players fared this weekend- Andreas Pereira Played 80 minutes in the 4-0 drubbing at the hands of Real Madrid. Morata and James Rodriguez scored a brace each as they sank Tony Adams’ already relegated team. Pereira, playing in the No.10 position, had a poor game against the second string Madrid side. … Read more
Adnan Januzaj is a clear case of too much too soon. For a player considered to be heir to Ryan Giggs, it is fair to say that he peaked too soon. Very soon. On-loan at Sunderland, he has failed to make a mark there and looks set to go down with the club at the … Read more
Sam Johnstone – Aston Villa After a run of clean sheets in March and April, Johnstone’s goal was breached six times over the Easter weekend. Aston Villa lost twice by the same score-line to two promotion-chasing sides. On Saturday it was a 3-1 home defeat to Reading with the away side scoring three of their … Read more
Romero- 6 A spectator for most of the match. Couldn’t do much for the Dendoncker goal. Valencia- 7 Good game for the Ecuadorian. Supplied the cross which led to Mkhitaryan’s goal. Made some decisive tackles as well. Bailly- 7 Had a solid game. Made some fierce tackles and vital blocks. Badly positioned for Anderlecht’s goal … Read more

Paul Pogba signed for Manchester United on the 8th of August 2016 for a world record fee of £89m.

Adnan Januzaj – Sunderland The young Belgian played 82 minutes from the start of Sunderland’s 2-0 home loss to Manchester City. In a disappointing team performance, Januzaj was at least trying to create chances for the Premier Leagues bottom side. He played three key passes during his minutes and had one wayward shot. His pass … Read more
