Is he though? I mean are we sure that he is not in form and he is not good anymore? I feel like he is still a great player, still should be playing instead of Rashford, not like United replaced him with some real young star, he is replaced by Rashford and even at times by Martial, that feels personal to me.
He didn't participate in the training during the summer, because he wanted to leave and he wanted to join his new club instead, and that is why he is being punished right now, dude is still 10x better than Rashford and Martial, but not getting as many minutes as them which feels personal. I believe he could still be great asset to Portugal during this world cup for sure.
Yes, you are right. He is far better than players like Rashford or Martial. I know that he is not having that great of a time. However, we all know there are a lot of players who perform really well with their international team compared to their clubs. And I just hope he turns out to be one of those for Portugal if he is able to play. Another thing is that I think he will benefit a lot from playing alongside Ronaldo. I think Ronaldo inspired a lot of players on and off the pitch and he could really use that to his advantage. Now, all we gotta do is wait for the announcement about whether he will be participating in the WC or not.
