He came to United from Athletic Bilbao as a promising baby-faced midfielder.
He was soon sent on exile to "Bench Island" by Oga "Philosophy", LVG himself for doing "Over sabi" in midfield- asking for the ball, chasing down through balls, running up and down the pitch, etc.

Under José "Uchenna" Mourinho however, he has become a fans favourite, and has been transformed to a midfield warrior earning him the name "Akinbode"!!

His role in the 2-0 defeat of Chelsea last season also earned him the title of "Eden-Hazard-Chewing-Gum I" of Old Trafford and he went on to win the United Player of the year award.
