he's a frustrating player to be honest. He is a really skilled player, but constantly disappears in big games and never manages to string together a number of strong games in a row. Which is exactly what Dortmund fans said when he left them, so it's not really surprising. He had a fantastic run of assists early in the season when United scored a ton of goals late in games, but even then his overall contributions were pretty meh and he continued to worsen throughout the season. I'd even go as far and say he's the only attacking player at United that hasn't improved over last season. His EL goals last season were vital and spare him being considered a bust at United, but yeah, I certainly expected more when they signed him. Right now I easily prefer Jesse Lingard and that tells you everything you need to know.
