Unless he wants to be a squad player. 

I think he accepted that already. He knows he will never be a automatic starter. He has started a lot more games than I imagined and he probably himself would have imagined.

He is what he is. Apart from his skill on the ball and his immense athletic capabilities  he sadly has two massive weaknesses which prevent him from becoming top class. Namely, He is just slow at making decisions and adjusting to new situations on the field which impacts the overall tempo of his game plus he is an average passer.  Both  of which quite evident yesterday and massive flaws for a midfielder . Yet he is useful as a squad player which is totally fine as long as he stays healthy. For me he is a must start vs Brentford. As they are a combative team with lots of high balls into the area, RLC will be of massive help here. Last season one of his best games was vs at Brentford and I can see him behind decisive as part of a mid 4 again here.

Good summary 👍

I'd save Ruben for United at RWB personally.

and played quite well in them - in the last few at least. Despite all his flaws, I think he has become important because his physicality is needed in midfield for certain situations. Especially with Kante out and Zakaria in limbo.
