Yeah Fellani has been such a let down. Young needs to get banned I think. Kagawa isn't showing the class he showed in the Bundesliga, hopefully he settles in soon.

1: Young is no better than when he was coming through at Watford and dives like a ****, he can **** off out the door if anyone wants him, still dining off those 2 goals against Arsenal, waste of money.

2: Fellani was always getting booked at Everton, not unexpected tbh. He has the look of a man that thinks because United signed him he has arrived, you haven't pal....

3:Kagawa looked good once he started playing the No10 role after Rooney went off, but we aint flogging Rooney to accomodate him, it's a shame as I doubt we'll evfer see the best of him unless he adapts to another role.

4:Moyes still doesn't know his best team.

United definiately not producing the type of football they are capable of.

They are in crying need of a creative central midfielder, a play maker, someone like yaya toure, a dominant character with strength and ability. I thought fellaini would fulfill this role at the start of the season but theres certainly no evidence of this so far.

Uniteds defense are weak, ferdinand needs to move on but still lives by his efforts about 10 years ago in the world cup!

My whole family support and follow united and my old man wouldnt let me in the house if I wasnt to support them but me nor him are impressed by this seasons efforts so far! RVP injured at the start of the season certainly didnt help things along.

A huge game for them this weekend against Arsenal.. And as much as I hate to say it, it may well be a repeat of the Manchester derby earlier this season.

Rumours United are in for Sami Khedira, now that rumour is on the back pages, I'd expect City and Chelsea to also be in for him lol, we haven't had much luck trying to buy Spanish based midfielders......

Great win for United yesterday.

What about poor Vidic getting clobbered - he didn't look in too good of shape.

I thought Rooney was immense yesterday and Smalling/Jones put in good shifts.

Vidic did look very wobbly.

Wobbly indeed, and spitting out blood too.
Never a good thing when he goes off.

Rooney had a cracking game.

I am sure Vidic was out cold as his eyes rolled back as he bounced off De Gea. How Jones brushed off his header into Cezny So easily I dont know as that made me wince on my sofa.

We did well to restrict Arsenal and Ozil was hardly in the game tbh. Rooney was like a man posessed. Stats say they had 2 shots on target - I dont recall either tbh?

Anyone else notice our best run was when Danny Welbeck was injured.

Some sort of role reversal going on last night

Kind of noticed that Everton got a better manager in the summer and better signings, even if they were loans.

I suggest Moyes does his shopping in January, irrespective of whether they're cup tied, the summer will be a nightmare to sign anyone up what with the wc being on and the last thing we need would be a repeat of the Kleberson,Cruyff or Poborski signings based on exploits at a tournament.

Hopefully in 24 years time you lot will be able to challenge again

Just to add, It took moyes 10 years to build a team better than man u so in another 10 years time he will make you better than everton

Come on now Funkii, let him have his moment. After all, being 4 (potentially 7) points behind Arsenal is never going to sound as good as being 8 points ahead of United...








... even if it is only December.

Decent win today, and STOP PRESS!! Welbeck and Cleverley h-actually played decent!

A few more points over the Xmas period and some money spent in Janaury... I'll be happy with top 4 this season. Our midfield needs an overhaul, i.e. players moving in both directions.

Nice to see Fletcher on the pitch again after another year out.

I still don't think Cleverley played well. He always leaves a gaping gap between the midfield and the defense.

As above, great to see Fletch back.

Will be a big challenge to get back to his old form, but fingers crossed he manages it.

Fletcher was never a world beater, so not much to come back imo and he certainly doesn't answer any of our problems, but it's good to see hin back to full health and playing again, ability aside

Better than our current options (except Carrick)

How is Young still starting, or even playing?

Has he played well since the 8-2?
