Can't wait to be rid of him. Mourinho won't put up with unreliable defenders and so confident Aurier's time at us is coming to an end. Lacks the basics of defending and on top of that is rash. I'm just bored talking about him to be honest.....guy is plain crap and so just get rid.

Won't comment on his defending, but you have to be an extremely good, very efficient attacking option to warrant playing that position, with zero defensive responsibility.

Frankly, may as well just sign the best right winger possible.

Always say he is rubbish

Manure targeted him with Rashford

Any competent manager will do the same

What does that tell you? Weak link

Doesn't seem like it though, does it.

He just needs to be used correctly, away at old trafford isn't the one, his strengths are on the attacking front, it was a game where Foyth might have been a better option.

I don’t get the defence that Aurier has some good games. So he bloody should, is a professional footballer paid a lot of money to have a good game. It is the terrible games he has that is the worry. We need at least a base line of consistency from players, particularly defenders. The problem with Aurier is when he is shit he is really shit, and this happens way too often.

Playing well at the moment and adding a lot to attacking play. I've been one of his harshest critics but you have to give credit where its due.

I thought he was a liability again. There were still plenty of times I had to ask out loud what he was doing.

No idea why he was trying to make that tackle which should have earned him a yellow.

Seemed to walk down the tunnel after being subbed with a slight limp. Hope it wasn't anything serious.

He would've looked better if Jose had told him to be defensive rather than leaving the right side completely empty for Sissoko to try and catch Rashford all the time. The lop-sided fullback tactic made everyone look bad against Man U IMHO. Left too much space at right back and Sissoko having to cover and leaving space in the middle.

Credit to Rashford who was different class both against us and Man City. I have always liked him, and Martial, right now he is on fire so perhaps we can cut Aurier some slack. My view though is that I would prefer us to develop Foyth and full back is where he can play for now until he is needed to be central with Sanchez

One of the worst defenders I’ve seen at the club.

Whoever gave this the green light needs firing.

Haven’t been a fan long then ? I can remember Laurie Brown who Bill Nick plucked from Arsenal’s reserves. Dreadful player.

Once Jose gets the DM he wants I feel we will see Aurier play a lot better. I totally agree he is a liability in defence especially with players running at him but going forward he is good, stretches the play and can deliver a good ball. we just need a DM that can cover and help him defensively, it could be Dier but he is currently far from fit.
