Until the other player is played for a long term, you never know who can be better. Until DDG improves his aerial ball ability (crosses, corners) I still will always be afraid. For now is at his best in reflexes which we know him for.

If Henderson is still doing understudy at the age of 24, you should know by now he’s never going to make it.

His biggest achievement till date is getting a promotion for Sunderland. Go to Wikipedia and see what DDG had achieved at 24.

Illimitable, after you read the below, you will understand that coming from injury can sometimes take time for the player to hit match fitness. Check the highlighted and understand my line of argumemt
....

But O’Shea believes Fred does the dirty work that often goes under the radar and the role he plays allows McTominay to contribute in attack

‘Fred, numbers-wise in terms of what he does – the simple things, the unappreciated stuff – that’s the stuff that goes unnoticed,’ O’Shea told talkSPORT.

‘Scott, he bombs forward too, he gets goals.

‘Sometimes when the XI is announced and you see Fred and McTominay, people automically think it’s the two sitting in midfield – but Scott McTominay bombs forward a lot.

‘He gets forward. He’s not just a sitter, he’s more an all-round midfielder. He can defend as well.

‘Bearing in mind he’s just coming back from an operation, he’s going to get stronger and stronger.

Look, it’s that central midfield area where United have had amazing players through the years and they’ve got to live up to that reputation and be compared to that.

‘Ole has trust in them.’

And if Solskjaer’s pre-match comments are anything to go by, he’ll be sticking with his trusty midfield pairing.

First of all, the stats for those two together, we have had many good results,’ he said in his press conference.

‘The way we broke up play against Villa I think they are very instrumental together. The energy and desire. I really like to have the two of them. I can trust them to give us what they’ve got.

‘Fans will always have opinions, it is easy to say who should be playing.’

This is just rubbish to protect British players. No one gives such excuses when foreign players come back from injuries. They are instantly slaughtered by the same media and brushed aside.

British players get all manners of excuses laid at their doorsteps. McTominay has been delivering shit for 2 seasons straight. It’s got nothing to do with any injury.
He hides a lot in games. He constantly refuses to take the game by the scruff of the neck like Fletcher/JS park did for us.

Fletcher wasn’t the most skillful player but he covered his inadequacies with zeal and endeavor. Fletcher could run for 6 hours straight without tiring and he arrived late in the box to score clutch goals for United. McTominay is nowhere near that level.

Let’s call a spade a spade, McTominay is shit!

Another strong reason to believe you are Coogar. How many more coincidence do I need?

Can you not discuss the player without blaming his British origin?

We absolutely don't give a fvck about the English National Team after the vilification of our players by Southgate at the last Euros tournament.

Matter of fact, If we had our way, all our English players would sit-at-home like IPOB said it.

In plain terms, we don't give a damn....in fact, we never did.

I remember telling people Sancho might not be much better than Greenwood and might be a waste of money.
Look what's happening!
I still don't believe a a right footer can be really better than a left footer at RW in the modern game.
I said the same thing. Someone said Mason Greenwood is already a ermanenr occupier of the CF position.
From what I see based on what we have, Mason will eventually develop as a left wing forward, and not a centre forward.

Baba I be RONALDO stan but all these do not matter honestly.

Ronaldo is the G.O.A.T and I don't need to be dragging the argument with people who think otherwise because no matter what you say, they'll never understand because obviously, they have their preferences as well.

Xavi won La Liga at 19/20.

Weah was in Africa and he didn’t even leave for Europe until age 22. He won African footballer of the year at age 23.

Your boy is 24 and no one even considers him the best goalkeeper in Manchester, never mind the whole of Europe.

Any how you feel like rolling the dice on Henderson, the outcome would show you he’s a failure. cheesy grin

Like Shawberto Carlos, Dele Alli, Jack Wilshere(touted to be the only English player that can play for Barcelona), Welbeck(the African Pele), Andy Townsend(British Ronaldo), etc.

How many false dawns do you have to experience in your life to know the British media exaggerate the potentials of their players?

Have 2-3 good game spell as British and you get an automatic shirt in the national team. You people are media sheep. Swallow whatever nonsense the media serve you.

As for the coogar comparison, it’s your PTSD jumping out again. Maybe Roy Keane is also coogar for pointing this out recently on how people get easily carried away with British players. He knows you people are dumb. cheesy

Solskjær on Gareth Southgate's comments on Jadon Sancho: "Was that interview done before Wednesday night? Jadon was exceptional [against Villarreal], he was electric. The crowd loved him and I think he felt that connection. That is what we want from him, to be direct, positive, go past players numerous times.
