“He is still attracted to the ball and Louis van Gaal is right, he is still moving outside the line of the posts down the side of the pitch.
“He also needs a bit of luck in avoiding injury. But he has given himself a good foundation. It is up to him to build on that.
“I hope he does. Let’s face it, there are not many top goalscorers in English football.”
