@StretfordPost He is and he's not likely to be the first choice midfielder either, but a better back up option than Ugarte

[Barnaby Chesterman @BarnyChesterman]

@MUFCDarren_ Poor pass from Cunha

[Barnaby Chesterman @BarnyChesterman]

@EzzyMUFC Because his off-ball movement, anticipation and understanding of football are top notch. Sadly, he is technicallly nowhere near the same level.

@laura_woodsy This wasn't confidence, it was cockiness and bragging. Nothing has been reframed, she was being arrogant. What she said was fine, but the tone wasn't.

[Barnaby Chesterman @BarnyChesterman]

@aaroncikaya This is a mis-translation. What he said was that what he has to say on the subject is not important.

[Barnaby Chesterman @BarnyChesterman]

@GingaBonitoHub That's a mis-translation. He said that what he could say about the incident is not important.

[Barnaby Chesterman @BarnyChesterman]

@Corballyred Yes, I believe you missed Keane, Shearer, Giggs, Henry, Kane and De Bruyne

[Barnaby Chesterman @BarnyChesterman]

@alvinfoo That was a legitimate question to the gold medal favourite. And although she came across as cocky, her response that it's a massive achievement to win any medal, was also legitimate

[Barnaby Chesterman @BarnyChesterman]

@mark_robinson_ What this shows is that level is now offside. Those two players could not be any more level than they are. If Casemiro is offside, then what we're saying is that level is offside. It used to be onside.

@SimplyUtd West Ham's players were doing very well to get back and crowd him out. He could maybe have had a shot, but Sesko also could have made a run into the centre to make himself available

[Barnaby Chesterman @BarnyChesterman]

@damzychillin Ray Wilkins, Mark Hughes

[Barnaby Chesterman @BarnyChesterman]

@TimC_000 Sesko is offisde, and as he challenges for the ball, it's offside

[Barnaby Chesterman @BarnyChesterman]

@UTDFondre That depends on whether you mean those players in 2019 or those players now

[Barnaby Chesterman @BarnyChesterman]

@MUFCDarren_ Because no-one makes a sprint for him. Cunha and Dorgu both could have sprinted into wide areas to give him some options but they didn't and he had almost no options, not least given that Sesko wasn't actually looking at him or making a clear defined run.

[Barnaby Chesterman @BarnyChesterman]

@UTDAlex8 The only one who would make any difference now, would be Greenwood. Although I'd probably have EtH back too

[Barnaby Chesterman @BarnyChesterman]

@Utdcen Alan Smith

[Barnaby Chesterman @BarnyChesterman]

@MUFCDarren_ It's offside because at the moment that the striker shoots, there is only one opposition player (the goalkeeper) between him and the goal

[Barnaby Chesterman @BarnyChesterman]

@Mufc_Yuto Indeed, no striker's instinct and a lack of attention. You have to stay in the game and fight. You cannot switch off like that.

@zarahsultana Just what voters angry with the cost of living crisis and crumbling NHS want to hear...

[Barnaby Chesterman @BarnyChesterman]

@afneil Not sure too many have been to Christ the Redermer...
