At the time he got injured, it was reported he would be back around mid-December.

So how did he look in his cameo for the U21s? Anybody with an eye-witness report?

I can report he looked beautiful, still number one in the Premier League I imagine.

Who ?
Yeah, my bad!
Great to see Moder on the way back, but isn't there a lot of rose-coloured specs being worn? Decent player and a welcome addition to an injury-ravaged squad but you'd be hard pressed to name many games where he stood out. Or is that just me being harsh?

It seems a while ago now, but my memory of him being on the pitch was that I always felt he’d had a game that I’d rate as a 7 or 8 without necessarily doing anything spectacular.
I’m not expecting anything from him this season except that he hopefully works his way back to full fitness and gets fully comfortable with the RDZ style of play.
If he stays fit through this season, then I’ll personally consider it fair to start looking critically at his performances from next season onward.

Yes, probably.
My memory of him is good, he was a Potter wet dream, an all rounder, good passing, decent in the tackle and pace, his height meant he got on the end of a few crosses/set pieces, his flexibility led Potter to play him at wing back where he did weirdly well. I seem to remember him hitting the post a lot but who didn’t under Potter.
The excitement come from how good De Zerbi can make him, he was one of our better players and is basically a blank canvas for RDZ, he can be milder into any of the central roles and even cover full back injuries
As said repeatedly here, the answer to your question is:-
15.02.22, Old Trafford, 6 weeks before his ACL.
Utd couldn't pick him up all night.
He was all over the pitch.
But with De Zerbi in mind, Moder is an absolute bugger a first touch 'round the corner' pass - pure undistilled catnip to Roberto.

What stood out for me with Moder last night was that he really is a physical presence. We currently lack that in midfield and I think he could be brilliant for us. He was just starting to look good before the injury and fingers crossed he will kick on.

Wasn’t he keeping MacAllister out of the team most weeks before his injury. Just shows how good he was as as soon as Mac got a run his career trajectory sky-rocketed.

Not really. In the final couple of games before the injury Mac was starting and Moder was on the bench. Before that they’d actually started quite a few games together.

I've heard he's getting really pissed off with people who can't spell his name!
For which I apologised earlier. Now you piss off.
