i think that his form can be inconsistent, we paid way too much for him, and he's not the quickest man on the pitch. that being said, when he's playing well, united play well. his passing is a constant threat to opponents and the way he knocks them off pace with his control of the midfield is brilliant. if only he did it every match, i do not believe that we would have this conversation. forcing or allowing him to leave would be an absolutely foolish move, as Hargreaves has not proven his ability to stay fit and anderson, while in great form at the moment, is still only 19 and lacks the maturity to properly general a midfield.
