Agreed, he is shiite. But the biggest weakness in your team is that OSG has assembled a bunch of individuals who are all playing for themselves rather than the club.
I guess that is a risk you take when you make marquee signings with no clear plan of how you want to play.
But he's better than Trent though
His biggest weakness is in between the boxes. His passing is often sloppy and untidy and that does break down attacks/possession. He's reasonably decent one v one against a defender - he's shown he can take people on and his crossing is better than when he first arrived.
But we do probably need a more well rounded, refined player there that can offer more between the boxes. Tripper would have been a decent signing (if the price was right), with AWB being a vey good (albeit expensive) back-up.
He is a championship level player. No more no less. Anyone who thinks he is good enough to start for a PL team let alone someone like us needs to stop watching football.
Thought he was improving some parts of his game but I agree he’s looking like a weak link.
There’s a reason we had a look at Trippier in the summer. Wouldn’t be shocked if we go back in for him January.

What exact improvement have you seen? The bloke has not improved anything. In fact he has regressed in his defensive ability and attacking wise he is probably amongst 1 percentile in the league
Unfortunately I agree with this, he seemed a good purchase at the beginning but he's stagnated and if anything regressed. Going forward he offers nothing.. puts in a great slide tackle from time to time but that's it.
New RB & CM next summer me thinks
Man Utd board is the new Arsenal board.
Nobody is good enough, everybody has to go.

His attacking play and delivery improved slightly last year. He got a couple of goals and assists as well. Still not good enough though.
what pisses me off the most is when he is trying hide in matches. He often takes up positions that are difficult to pick , when he can easily move in to better attacking positions. Even when he got himself to an attacking position, he often shys away from crossing ir making a positive contribution.
For me the last straw was when he decided to stand next to newcastle players when he can move atleast 20 yards wide. We are chasing a winner and he is literally hiding behind a newcastle player.
He is a lost cause, he doesnt have the mentality or ability to play at United.

Ah yes. Must be getting football news from Kate Shemirani as well as health info.
I mentioned this last year and the opinion was much different among your fan base. What’s changed?
He tackles the way he does because to atones for an error but let's not forget generally he is a good tackler. He's decent but no way in the 50m bracket.
He lacks awareness to be a top class defender though, that's why he's a full back. He lacks the attacking qualities, intelligence and ball control to be a modern full back imho that Utd need, like a Shaw but at RB.

You might have done but loads of United fans didn’t rate him last year either. Or maybe said they’d give him time and now feel like they have.

I actually miss Valencia there. Miles better
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This, Valencia was miles bettter, and he was one of our poorer FBs.
He's not terrible and I do think he's improved some aspects of his game. He does need to improve there of course.
If he's not playing in midfield I'd quite like to see McT tried there. I think he could potentially be a very good full back.

Think that the more world class players united sign the more obvious his limitations become
Phil Jones could do a job for you there?
