00:00 Well, his attributes are there for everybody to see, that ability to receive under pressure
00:08 and ride challenges, to manipulate the ball in tight areas.
00:14 Yeah, I think at 18 I was probably playing Xbox. He's out here being a man and playing
00:20 for England. He carries himself very well. He just glides with the ball and there's a
00:26 lot more to come from him, I'm sure, and I'm sure he'll go right to the top.
00:29 Yeah, his quality. I remember, I think he made his debut, his full start for Man United
00:34 against Everton at the start of the season and he dictated the game pretty much there.
00:39 He's not been outside since for Man United, so then he's come in and I think he's just
00:44 done what he's been doing at Man United and you can see he's a top talent.
00:48 He gives us a different profile of midfield player to anything else we've got and we're
00:55 really pleased with what he's done. He's adapted and adjusted brilliantly. You can't believe
01:02 his age really, that he's just taken it all in his stride as he has.
