Six of the Portuguese's nine assists have been put into the net by United's eminent winger - In the successful teams we had, there was "partnership" all over the pitch.

He was the right man at the right time in the right place on just about every parameter With him as a central caretaker, others have been able to free up part of their workload.

Former Villa and Swansea player Neil Taylor on the BBC's podcast - A few weeks ago I thought it was a title match between City and Arsenal.
