Well glad Van gaal removed Rojo, Carrick did well in cb. Fellaini was poor first half, then fairly good 2nd half.

some good goals, although defence wasn't perfect De gea saved the day

Well a wins a win, De Gea had a cracking game.
I'm glad we got the 3 - 0 result because I was at the last home game when it was 3 - 0 to LFC.

Fair play. De Gea was outstanding.

Ignore him, and hopefully he'll go away.

Carrick was a calming influence at the back. Defence nowhere near perfect but a lot more organised and less panicky. Rojo I am still not sure on. He can't be as crap as he has been if he gets picked for Argentina.

Lets see if they play any better without those 2

Van Gaal says we have five injuries and one [Marouane Fellaini] is ill, so they are not coming up. Rojo has a rectus femoris [thigh] injury."

I think you were unlucky not to be out of sight by half time tbh. We improved 2nd half and could have snatched it. I think Mason found himself sh1tting the proverbial brick taking that shot...... If we were three down I think he'd have buried it. Still, I'll take a point....

Chelsea next. Urgh!

Stoke out played them, should had a peno and Man U were saved by the post.

Valdes signs - Lindegaard out then I presume.

I would have thought that a new keeper wasn't exactly high on the priority list

My thoughts exactly

Very odd choice unless they intend to use De Gea as bait for Bale or Varane and feel Valdes would fit for a few years.

If he really was that good he wouldn't have been without a club since the summer and why would a keeper that has played at the level he has want to be second string

It doesn't add up for me

I say get De Gea a 10 year contract before he buggers off for free, I just want to see Lloris go to Madrid

Not sure i would swap De Gea for bale. Bale is good but De Gea has saved untied this season.

I wish they would try and get Alexis sanchez, man that guys good. Only person we have with real speed is di maria. Its not enough, Alexis sanchez is minted, his work rate is insane.

I remember when Fergie tried to get him but he went to Barca and I think I posted in here saying we should get him and Vidal after the WC. He is a world class player and a pleasure to have him playing in the EPL.


Wenger wouldn't be as silly to sell his top scorer to United again.........would he

Still fourth though and only a few points off second. It's easy to bash the team but they are still doing pretty well considering the managerial changes.

Sam Allardyce criticising Man Utd for their tactics is like Jimmy Saville telling Gary Glitter how to look after kids!

Falco stay or go? Personally I think he should go not worth the money, Wilson is doing better and he's free

Yep, lose Falco.
Although Utd are sitting 5 points behind 2nd place I feel with the squad in place that we should be higher.
Not a big watcher of football but from the matches I have watched, Utd look in chaos most of the time. I think LVG is the right man for the job but I wish he would just show some more consistency with tactics and team selection!

Sh1te performance and it really makes me sick to see players cheating to get a penalty. I really wish that FIFA or UEFA or whoever use the power of the TV camera footage and ban any player who dives for 5 matches. I expect the likes of Rooney to set an example!

What do you think of Rooney as Man U fans? As a neutral you can see he isn't happy there anymore. He's never been the same since allegations of a rift with SAF surfaced in the media. I think a move abroad.......or, being radical, a skip back to Everton would do him good. The longer he stays at Utd the easier it is to forget the really good stuff he's done at the club. He doesn't have anything to prove or win at Old Trafford anymore. He'd do far more good back at "home" than Lukaku is doing. It's not like United can expect to profit on him. When he's happy/focused he's an utter nuisance but you rarely see it now.
