    So is De Bruyne, all lists now have to be rewritten. Them's the rules.

    I'll give you a starter for ten; on current, bang up to the minute, form, Paul Pogba is in that top five.

    Fcuk knows why I've liked your post <laugh> ... but have to agree ... the technique in his finish today was top drawer ... he's been given a bit of a rough ride by some of our fans since declaring that he wanted to leave but his form under Puel is back to that of our title winning season ... and he got a standing ovation when he was subbed today ...

    Mahrez is quality to be fair, he's the one player you have who makes your games worth watching on MOTD.

    United teams of old would have elevated Mahrez to the next tier.

    But he'd be utterly wasted with Mourinho.

    Maybe. He's a brilliant counter attacking player though and I think he'd fit right in.

    Picked a bad example there Tel.

    Are United more of a counter attacking side than the likes of Chelsea, Spurs and Man City? Not sure they are any more. I think Fergie would have signed him in a heart beat.

    I think if there is a team that would be willing to pay the money, would have him in their starting XI every week and would suit his style of play it's probably ****ing Chelsea.

    Sick of them nicking our players. They'd have to pay upwards of 90m for me though.

    Mahrez is a poor man's Di Maria, we don't need another ADM here that's for sure.

    <laugh> ... other way round, for all but United fans... Mahrez set the EPL on fire in our title winning season and is doing so once again now ... ADM possibly set his own pants on fire ... but that's about all ...

    Pretty nuts that last summer Mahrez was reportedly available for £25m and nobody went in for him ...

    He wasn't.

    He was available for £50m.

    We turned down a 32m bid from Roma.
