Upon his arrival at the club, he insisted he is ready to fight in the Premier League and said leadership comes naturally to him.

"I'm an aggressive player and also a leader. I'm only 23 but I captained a good team in Germany," Xhaka said.

"When I was younger, even though I had a big brother, my parents would give me the house key every day."

I could be wrong but I think Xhaka, Mustafi and Perez were all signed mainly on stats for some reason.

I’ll own up to rating him pre-Arsenal.

Liverpool was pursuing him for a while I was mad we didn’t get him. I think Xhaka was being touted as a great defensive midfielder that summer.

Between Josh Kroenke touting 'Money ball' and Stan's 'stats' company taking a few million per season for 'services rendered' I'm pretty sure this might be the case.

Just read an article that confirmed they used StatDNA for a while, Gabriel was the first signing they used it for - it also identified Higuain and De Bruyne but they couldn’t sign the former and doubted the latter - so it turns out you actually need a loving decent scout after all.

Jamie Redknapp doesn't usually make any sense but he's just pointed out how Xhaka wasn't tracking back for Pogba's goal. I can't believe how this just keeps happening.

Oh great, here comes Fellaini to win the game.

E: United look pretty bad going forward again. Just safe, boring passes that are unlikely to break down Arsenal.

Also lol @ Danny Welbeck muscling Marouaine "Hard Man" Fellaini off the ball like a baby.
