There's is just no pleasing you sometimes, is there?

TBH I thought he
slightly over- hit it too but most of the blame lies with Pogba. It was a decent save by the keeper, but he should have buried that.

Mourinho's publically saying that he still needs time to settle, but how's he likely do that if he never plays?
I fully expect a fair few departures over the next two windows, but I'd hope that he won't be one of them.”
I've read a few of those reports as well but I'm not as concerned for two reasons;
1) Jose has played just about everybody else, including expendables like Rojo, Depay Young and his old nemesis Mata. Hell, even Schneiderlin got a run out the other day and I thought he was finished. I don't think he's playing them all with the January transfer window in mind so it suggests to me (along with his criticism of Shaw but later playing him) that Jose is quite capable of putting the club's needs before his own personal feeling towards a player and will play Miki when he's ready.
2) A few of the rumours I've read suggest that Miki unfortunately isn't the world's mentally strongest character and needs softly-softly man-management. If that's true he definitely needs time but it's also debatable if he has the right stuff to be a success at United anyway and even though it would be sad to see him leave it might be best for all concerned.
Would really love to see him have a run in the side though.....
