Boufal gives Lingard the run-around

When Sofiane Boufal arrived at the South Coast for £19 million, much was expected of the Moroccan, but the only thing he's consistently delivered is false hope. Now into his second year at the Saints he has appeared to have gotten into his element - that goal against West Bromwich Albion a sneak peek into his glorious potential - and against United yesterday he was a consistent attacking threat - pegging Young back and keeping the United defence on their toes with his electric dribbling.

His defensive discipline would have please Pellegrino too, an aspect of his game that he's improved by miles.

If, nay, when he develops a cross on him, he will be a force to reckon with - and that £19 million will begin to look like a bargain.
