Last season, Madrid and Marseille were arguably his best games, other than that he done almost nothing.
He's mostly brought in off the bench with about 20-25 minutes left, so he doesn't get enough time to make an impact.
Saying that though, he's rarely started a game, but when he has, he's not really done much.
I wouldn't sack him off just yet though, I think he still has time to develop into a decent player.

What, like the above sulky effort? Get over yourself. They're all football related - I've never had any complaints from the mods, which is all that counts. I don't think you'd recognise irony if you fell over it. Thought you'd be in Malaysia with the lads anyway, our kid, discussing football to the exclusion of anything else. Well, when I say football I mean Man Utd, as they are one and the same to you.

I know what you mean, but he just seems to lack motivation. In January he asked to leave for Ajax, he was told to stay because he was too important to let go, I was hoping that may raise his motivation and he might give it a proper go, but he obviously isn't cutting it. Rafa rates him, he's lasted two years and looks likely for a third, he invested a lot into him but it just seems Ryan is given nothing back. He's hardly developed in his time here, and he's always had a lackluster attitude for me.
I'd have had him gone this summer, I hope he proves me wrong and really ups his game, but I can't see him offering us much.

I think if he doesn't improve this coming season, then I have a feeling he'll get transfer listed by Rafa. He's got 3 years left on his deal.

Then your powers of comprehension leave something to be desired. How much did your sense of humour by-pass cost? Was it more than the chip on your shoulder?
In other football related news Man Utd have cancelled their game in Indonesia and will play another game in Malaysia.

No sense of humour by-pass, you're just not funny and boring.
