Pablo Maffeo - 2016/2017 Performances

Bless him he only looks about 12 .what a game he had .can see him starting regularly shortly

I think he's already ready from a defensive point of view when you compare him to Sagna and Zabba, and he gives a bit more energy and urgency.

He just needs to improve his use of the ball for when Pep wants to play his fullbacks inside. Once he masters that art, he'll walk into the first team.

Got a United-supporting colleague; first thing he said this morning was 'that kid at right-back looks a proper talent'. Thought for a teenager in a Manchester Derby, he was absolutely superb. Second half, a huge booming clearance came out of the sky and most defenders would just head it away; dropped off, anticipated the rag in front of him was caught under the ball, and took it down on his chest killing it dead and then playing a simple pass to start an attacking move. Nothing flashy, but a sign of real ability.

Most impressive performance in the team last night. Well done kid!

Both our youth were stand out players last night...that Maffeo 100 metre sprint late on to get back and defend against Rashford showed his commitment

Really like the look of him

The young lad did a great job and held his own for almost the full 90minutes. Hope he gets more game time on Saturdays as I think he showed, he's good enough to start...I know most of us could see the potential but really surprised how confident he looked last night...Well done!!

Think we've got one of our right fullback spots sewn up for the years to come.

Pretty much the highlight of the match for me, great energy from Pablo, mind you I suspect he's faced Rashford a few times in under-age matches, he had him in his pocket for most of the game. Definitely deserves to keep his place for Saturday.

he was absolutely bolloxed tired with the amount of effort he put in. It was refreshing to see. He was good last night. Quite a promising player. Twice he took the ball down on his chest, instantaneously, while surrounded by players, when it looked like the only option was to get a head on it.
