Hernandez is awful, he is a good goalscorer but his general play is not up to scratch. Would be madness to get rid of Welbeck over Hernandez.

If you put the two of them together you'd a have the complete forward. Hernandez should never bother leaving the shoulder of the last defender and coming deep, there's no point to it. At least Danny can play, dribble, hold up the ball and play tight passes, shame about his finishing though.

Some of Keanes passing and pass choice is a disgrace for a professional footballer

Adamocovic

The sooner VG gets them back into the dressing room to give out to them the better

Francie Barrett

United look awful in possession. Too many long balls, to many slack passes.

kryogen

Dons are well up for it, United are being cowed.

Lovely ball by Januzaj

How is Deli Alli doing?

Fescue

Reminds me very much of Hodgsons start with Liverpool. Lost one, drew one in the league. Knocked out of the League Cup by Northampton Town.

Football was probably better under Hodgson mind!!!

shocking stuff again from utd. Need to pick it up 2nd half

Lord TSC

Anderson May as well not be there. Evans gave away a goal I would be annoyed at one of the kids giving away. Hernandez, ignoring how deep he has to drop, has checked out and looks to be done with the club. Poor first half.

Redzer7

MK playing well, credit where it's due.

kryogen

I'm not sure what anyone else is seeing, but Powell has been shocking in my eyes.

Sugarlumps

Bottom of the barrel. Anderson been mauling the battered burgers again, I'd have him out in a chip van on match day.

Francie Barrett

Welbeck's confidence looks shot.

Why are you stalking redcafe also? Mike it is pretty strange behaviour from a Liverpool/Wolves fan

miralize

Very few of the united players look confident in receiving the ball. Slow again.

Soldie

Have United had a shot on target? Making MK Dons look like Barcelona here.

kryogen

Worrying how easily they can be bullied when a team puts it up to them tbh

Harry Palmr

At least the first ever sell out at whatever the venue is called ("Moo Camp" is its nickname) has been rewarded.

Lukker-

Captain Jonny Evans - sounds like a name that was destined to go down with his ship.

Started well, everyone has been shocking since going behind.

MK Dons are playing well but you have to think United's poor performance is aiding that. United haven't bossed the game around and MK Dons seem more comfortable on the ball.

United started brightly but it seems once the goal went in the heads dropped. The big thing now is will United come out differently in the second half and can MK Dons hold on for the whole game. Interesting half to come.

JaMarcusHustle

It's nice to know that there's plenty of depth in the squad. Reassuring that if any of our frighteningly-average-to-distinctly-poor first teamers are injured for a prolonged spell that we've got some frighteningly-average-to-distinctly-poor back ups to step up.

United must start improving soon, I'm not sure any manager can continue in this vain and not come under pressure. The most alarming thing is it doesn't seem to be getting any better.

Literally the first 5 minutes, been awful since then from what I saw.

Jaysus. Atmosphere is worse than Anfield.

MK Dons look hungrier.

3-5-2 just isn't working for Man United.

Don't panic lads there is always the dream of a good run in the FA Cup to look forward to this season

Not much point reading into the big picture tonight given the team, but you are right. Nature of the beast if things don't pick up soon the press will start to put pressure on, money spent and a foreign manager

If we go well in it we will end up with more trophies then the neighbours I'd guess

Harry Palmr

It might sound heretical but short cups runs might not be a bad thing for Utd, only one thing actually matters this season and the more time Van Gaal gets coaching the first team for the league the better your chances of quick return to Europe.

Royal Irish

I would rather see us play with what would be LVG's first choice 11 all fit than give up on the 3-4-1-2 system.

Black_Knight

This is awful. Even Danny looks like he's given up after making all those runs in vain. Everyone's very static

Agent Coulson

Utd might just have the league to concentrate on after tonight for the next five months.

No excuses then for not winning the league or getting at least top 4 after breaking the transfer record.

Mars Bar

Lvg really believes that this is the only formation he can use to get the best out of these players. They must be hopeless altogether...

Agreed. He just looks sloppy when controlling the ball.

Nope, winkelman orchestrated everything!

This is the sort of level welbeck and Anderson are at. Hernandez time has come to an end too I'd say. I hope this is the last time I see welbeck in a United shirt.

Pereira on to change everymathings!

Janko off.

or maybe he's using an essentially a meaningless mickey mouse match to get fringe players playing in this system in case he needs to use them in important League games.

I hope people who hold those kind of opinions develop a keen interest in rugby league and just watch that instead

Welbeck put Kagawa and Hernandez in great positions to score in the first 10 minutes. Both of them ballsed it up.

TheTownie

Powell suffering from Hollywooditis.

Gringo180

The funny thing is Welbeck is a good striker been ruined at Utd by been played out of position, lads confidence must be at an all time low. I would welcome him at Arsenal.
