Glad to hear he played well and the coach wasn't scared to play him, that is a good sign.
I didn't see the match but I suspect the usual suspects will underrate the player since he's young. Typical reaction towards a young player and extremely foolish.

If you were from where i'm from (originally) you'd have seen so many, and by many i mean hundreds, I literally lost count of how many Brazilians kids who at that age showed the promise to be the best new thing and never made it for whatever reasons. And 2. there was a time when to be hyped up you had to do something extraordinary, really special. Nowadays all you need is a couple of good matches, a good pass here and there and one or two goals to be idolized and praised.
I'll give him his praise in time. When he's settled and proved to be more than just good. Not at the first match of his first season with us. Definitely not. Pogba kept getting better, until he reached at point where everybody could see he was the real deal. This guy still hasn't.

But don't get me wrong, i'm not trying to sound negative here. On the contrary, i only saw positive things about him. He's an intelligent forward, if that's gonna be his main role.
He's the kind of player i've wanted for seasons now, and as a Brazilian it's in my DNA so i'm not gonna lie, i grew up watching technical players with flair and a direct approach, players who can take on defenders and make them look like fools. That's what i like the most about a Football player.
He seems to be that kind of player.
