Rodrigo Ribeiro has been impressing me (he is the one who makes the pass to Matheus Reis who then assists Trincão).
Thought he might not make it after having a lackluster first half of the season in the B team and then he decided to go on loan to Nottingham Forest when we wanted him to stay in Portugal on a team where he would get more minutes.
At least that loan seems to have made him realise that he needs to work hard if he wants to play on a top team, having a lot of talent isn't enough.
I am happy to have him as a third striker, still need a backup to Gyokeres.
In our squad presentation before the match, we presented 29 players, the oldest (and the only one over 30) has 31 years old and the youngest has 17, average squad age of 23.
Bright future ahead.

Hopefully the Hojlund injury isn't serious. Zirkzee will do well for us, but everything I've read about him suggests he's someone who'll help in build up, but bit actually score that many goals.
there was a lot more running at speed then I'm used to when watching Manu last season (intensity higher)
Mount, Rashford and Amass were all good. Rasmus too while he was in the pitch.
Those injuries have rattled me though. Hopefully neither is a 4 month long thing ala Mainoo last summer
Take Mount off for his own sake.

Amass looks good. Clear talent there and looks good vs the press, but still a bit raw. Collyr similar, covers alot of the ground, decent on the ball and gets stuck in.
Hopefully the injuries aren't serious and more precautions.

Need to keep them fit, or hope that and then add a more mobile DM as priority

Who is this RB? He's been beat with ease every single time.
Oh he's not a RB lmao. Makes sense seeing him trying to defend

Yeah he's not a RB lol
There were some reasonably positive things in there. But all of that is tempered by whether Hojlund and Yoro are out for long.
