Kevin de Bruyne – Manchester City
HIT
For £55m, City had been hoping that he would prove to be worth the outlay immediately, and he’s certainly proved that his struggles at Chelsea were an isolated incident. In five games he’s already managed three goals and three assists, and looks as though he will be a key player for the title contenders as the season progresses.
Memphis Depay – Manchester United
MISS
He may have enjoyed an explosive start, but his good grace is already beginning to fade as manager Louis van Gaal has recently hit out at his attitude. And the manager may have a point, as the winger hasn’t looked too interested on the pitch in recent weeks.
