He's not underrated. His problem has been staying fit. As soon as he starts looking good, he picks up an injury. So far this season he has looked impressive. Hopefully he stays fit.
He should start for England in there upcoming games.
To injury prone to last the course. Was potentially world class when he signed for Man Utd. A truly old fashioned defender in the Steve Bruce and Alan Hansen mould. Good defenders are now a dying breed.
Funny he's being called a pure defender, cos when he was signed (the summer City signed Aguero) he was called the new Duncan Edwards, and when I saw him for Blackburn he was confident on the ball whereas Scott Dann seemed the enforcer of the two.
From what little I've seen of him for Man Utd, his biggest problem is staying on his feet. I've never seen a footballer on his backside so much, he needs a few yoga lessons or something.
