In spite of the goalless scoreline, the Old Trafford faithful are quite clearly impressed with their new asset, evident from the reactions they left in the social media following the match. Despite being not a great season for them, the supporters could capitalise on this addition in their squad to be pleased enough, looking forward to more of similar performance from the Portuguese star.

Nevertheless the club manager is happy with the playmaker, claiming that he did well in his first game with new teammates. The Norwegian gaffer could exploit the all-out attacking midfielder to revamp his midfield, which has been looking weak since the likes of Paul Pogba and Scott McTominay got sidelined.

Regardless, next up the Mancunian side face Chelsea on the 18th of February.
