Strong in the air, but he does not seem to do well with physical battles to win the header.

Decent tackler, but not outstanding, he tries to win the ball by nicking it off the player or intercepting it, rather than a tackle as such.

Very good on the ball, better than he has shown so far in his Man Utd career.

It is not so much that he is weak, he is a strong lad, but he does not seem to relish the physical battle.

Good pace, enough to ensure he is not left floundering in a forward's wake, though not enough for it to be noticeable how quick he is.

Good in the air, well able to hold his own and win a large percentage of balls in the air.

A strong tackler, it is just his rashness that holds him back at times.

He was brought in because he is very good on the ball and capable of spotting and playing a pass.

Good strength, though the strongest forwards are capable of bullying him.

Surprisingly quick, clocked as Man City's fastest top speed in the early weeks of the season. Though his acceleration is not as quick.
