He had plenty of game-time during the pre-season, and more often than not Luiz and Christensen would pass to Ampadu for him to play the final ball out of defence. He combined well with Jorginho, and my conclusion was he should start the first EPL game of the season. I fully understand why he didn't, but he is ready to play at the highest level. A couple of mistakes might set a young player back, but he is so calm and level headed I don't think it would affect him. I remember against Bournemouth last season he got a yellow card after a few minutes and he didn't change his game at all, and was awarded man of the match. Anyway, he will keep on improving, and we haven't seen the best of him yet. As Giggs said after the match, he is going to be a magnificent player.
