He\u2019ll have to work on little things, but his fundamentals look sound.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">He\u2019s starting games because he\u2019s more reliable than anyone else in that role, but he doesn\u2019t offer much going forward and still has a lot of careless moments.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Had some trouble against Yankuba Minteh. Will probably be in and out of the side all season, depending on the opponent and situation. Still a player developing his game, and that\u2019s fine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Looked comfortable for the most part. The changes disrupted the game\u2019s momentum.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Solid before going off. Just needs to stay fit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">He\u2019s back in form and seems to have built some chemistry with Bryan Mbeumo. There\u2019s an electricity about that flank now.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">A goal and an assist. His absence was felt.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">That dummy summed up some of the football on display today. Another top performance from the captain.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Two brilliant finishes, and just a top performance with and without the ball.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The first of many and well deserved. Has real star quality.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">He only got one assist, but he showed a lot of skill today.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Unreliable. Wouldn\u2019t be surprised if Malacia is recalled at this rate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Got dispossessed twice after coming on. He\u2019s the most talented of the subs who came on today, but he has to earn his place back in the side.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The only sub who came out looking good.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Had some good moments on the ball, but should\u2019ve done better on Brighton\u2019s second goal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Champagne football for large parts of the game. There was a swagger about the forwards today. Of course, there were some concerning signs as well. Substitutes are a part of the game, but there are still a couple of players who, even as subs, are putting the side in trouble. Handling this is going to define the season. He\u2019ll have learnt a lot today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Here are the ratings from Manchester United\u2019s 4-2 win over Brighton at Old Trafford.
