Forgot to write. In the match against Como I was pleasantly surprised by his work without the ball.

There were matches in Japan when he acted lazily without the ball. It seems that Flick pointed this out to him and we saw good work without the ball from Lamine against Como.

It's smart to have him press since he is smart and quick with his feet resulting into many balls won in a scrap. One example is in that play which resulted Rashford missing an empty net.

The drawback is that it takes more energy to track back so he probably won't be as lethal in the final minutes of the game unless his playtime is managed well.

Even if his playing time is managed, he will be tired at the end of a match, for example, if he's playing in extra time in the Champions League or even in the final minutes of a regular match. In a crucial match, he won't be able to press as hard if he wants to stay fit in the final minutes; his stamina usually doesn't allow it.

Hopefully he gets his brace soon enough. You can see he is trying hard, probably feeling the slight extra pressure of wearing #10 and wanting to prove himself he can be the best player of the world this season already.

His first few steps have improved a lot. Looking fast out there.

Thought he was stellar today.

Looked a bit selfish after 2-0, but he was obviously chasing first hattrick with mallorca down 2 man.

Destroyed Mojica on the wing. Nice assist for first goal. And yeah scored the third one.
