Huge credit to Yankuba. The amount of work he puts in on the pitch is clearly mirrored by the amount off the pitch. because the improvement in his game is exceptional.

It will be interesting to see how this right wing position is used now. Minteh is pole position, but if Solly is fit to start, both will be intriguing options. Gruda has also showed nice moments there. Adingra, you feel has to produce quickly or will slip further down the pecking order. But Georginio starting on the right is surely the biggest threat to Minteh's starting place.

I think Georginio is a better No.9 & No.10 than he is a right winger so I think Gruda and March might be ahead of him as well as Minteh. Then there is Kadıoğlu and Lamptey who have played in that position too.

Adingra has struggled there this season but still looks decent in his favoured position of left wing. If Mitoma gets injured, I think he’d be starting there.

Well, as no-one else has bounced his thread, I will.
He's some player. Lightening quick. His pressing is off-the-scale, I'm not sure I can think of a player as good at it since Firmino. His tracking back last night was exemplary. He's dangerous higher up the pitch, there were two of their players on him in the build-up to the first leaving Veltman in acres of space to put in that sumptuous cross.

Sure, there's room for improvement. Sometimes his technique looks suspect and his decision-making will hopefully come with more experience but we've got ourselves a serious player here.

He’s certainly improved his tracking back and tackling (ahead of Adringa imo) …..plus developing his forward play

Yes.

We've got to keep playing him. He'll have some shocking games, but the potential there is incredible

Bit wild, bit raw, somewhat unpredictable. But he's quick, has some skill and by crikey he puts a shift in! Intensity personified.

Yes agree - he runs into trouble sometimes (at speed!) but maybe we'll start to see more of those come good. Also agree with his commitment to tracking back.

His tracking back is really good and comparable with Mitoma. Fantastic work rate as well.

However, I would say it’s a bit more than ‘sometimes’ in terms of technique and particularly decision making.

Definitely getting better though and hopefully next season he’ll fly.

Had an absolute stinker at Forest (although not alone in that obvs). Literally every attack that arrived at him, ended with him. But you can see there's a player there, a rough diamond. He never lacks in effort or attitude.

Looking forward to seeing him develop. He'll only get better.

His defensive work at Man U was incredible
