Whilst you can understand his frustration at not making the Champions League squad it was a situation predicated by circumstance. Disasi had to be in the squad because of the injuries, Asensio walks into most squads (except PSG!?), so a straight shoot out between Dony and Rashford, so presumably Unai sees Rashford as being more able to play in that CF space.
We've seen plenty of times that Unai will not rush players into the match day 11 until he's confident they understand his requirements.
He has to start at the weekend and keep doing good things. If we continue to progress in competitions there's plenty of minutes to be played this season.

Some promising quotes in there. Good attitude. It probably, understandably, took a month or so to come to terms with.
I like him, anyway. Think he'll do well if he has managed to keep his head with us.

Once again, things happen when he's on the pitch. Holds the ball up well, strong and fast, not afraid to beat a player, can pass, cross and score. What's not to like..

I really like him. Holds the ball up well and always seems to want to do something positive.
He could be a big boost for us in the next month

Lots of pace and clearly an eye for goal. Long term Bailey’s replacement.

Tough on him not to start, but fair play to him. Put his head down, came on and said, “You might want to give me a run, Unai.”

Really don't understand why we're not starting him after tough CL games.
I would be starting him v all of Newcastle, Man. City and Palace just to send a message he is valued despite the CL omission.
He is clearly confident finishing from wide positions and I also loved the run he made for the Forest goal so you're talking about top level attacker, he just hasn't had the minutes to show it yet.

I think he's great and it's shame we couldn't include him in CL squad.

Agreed, and he's looking good value at approx 20m. Maybe we shouldn't be that surprised given his scoring record was 1 goal in 3 at Dormund, and 1 in 2 at PSV.

Absolutely love this guy. Whatever happens with our loanees at the end of the season Malen is an absolute bargain, really confident he's gonna rack up some goals next season.

Making a show out of Leon. I wonder will we have as many attack-minded players in the squad next season. Unlikely with the wage bill but this lad is now suckin' diesel.
