Man United player criticized for hiding in big matches

The pattern is pretty obvious when you line up the big moments. Portugal calls for the World Cup and he's suddenly retired. Man United reach a UEL final against Villarreal and he's out again. Another UEL final, this time against Spurs, and he just vanishes. The club needed him for UCL qualification and he guided them to 15th. Winning the league? He folded. But put him in a meaningless game against some unrecognized side and he's always ready to show up. It's like he only ghosts when there's actual silverware on the line. Watch him mess up consecutive UCL matches and then start threatening to leave for Saudi by January.
