Sometimes when a new player joins your club, you ‘just know’ after a couple of games.
The impact can be immediate. Lukaku never felt right, Schneiderlin either, Fellaini was never a Manchester United player; then there was Depay, Mikhitaryan and Sanchez. My word, Sanchez - it was like he’d just decided to stop playing football...
But sometimes a player comes along where it clicks right form the off. Think Cantona, van Nistelrooy, Rooney and of course Cristiano Ronaldo.
Now a fellow-countryman of Ronaldo’s is also helping himself to a place on the United newcomer ‘healthy list’.
