It’s possible that he’s too similar to Bruno Fernandes and he’s starting to become overshadowed, but he ended up on the left wing against Arsenal today and he just looked completely lost.
In the end he even managed to cost United the game as he gave away a stupid penalty which proved to be the difference, so it’s understandable that questions will be asked about this.

His talent has never been in doubt but he does look like a player who needs to have things built around him rather than simply being inserted into a system and excelling, so it might be best for everyone if he’s allowed to leave.
