Right move. Van Gaal knows the financial implications of getting into the Champions League. He'll certainly want to try and put this game to rest tonight.

Given the money spent on the squad he'll be desperate to do this with ease I'm sure.

GreNoLi

Referee showing sleight of hand whipping out that yellow.

Alf Veedersane

Probably been asked already but how come Gigi Buffon is reffing this?

That_Guy

Rooney has been awful. Emanuel Riviere-esque levels of awful.

Mars Bar

Really, really hope Hernandez comes on for Rooney.

Smiling off on another jaunt up the field!

zarquon

Mike Smalling is a legend

Tom.D.BJJ

Smalling 👍

Agreed, don't get the whole, it takes him 4/5 games of the season to get going thing either

Nonsense.

Obviously it's not great opposition but we are playing some lovely crisp stuff going forward.

Maximus Alexander

Dat Schweinsteiger tho.

LVG called him Mr Mike Smalling in a presser :pac:

Is that a genuine excuse going around for him? If you're supposedly world class, you'll find a way.

I don't think he necessarily helps himself. He's supposed to be playing as a central striker but has found himself out wide on more than one occasion tonight.

Part of the LVG rebranding process

Rooney is showing signs of improving.

Herrera for Januzai and Utd will score more.

Van Gaal called him that in a press conference in error.

Care to tell me how he has been good? I haven't seen anything to suggest he's had a good game bar the opening couple of minutes.

I mean, it wouldn't be hard to improve.

The RTe commentators are up his ass for some reason....

When you see Smalling play like this you wonder how he was so rubbish for so long.

No, if you cant see for yourself I don't see how I can convince you.

I'd say he's been busting a bollock ever since the Ramos rumours started circulating and was fearful of being dropped.

Mars Bar

Brain fart from Romero

GreNoLi

Romero is an accident waiting to happen.

adox

Romero asleep!

super_furry

That's a gift from the referee. Absolutely no reason to stop play there.

Mr_Muffin

Should be 2-2.

Rossi IRL

WTF Romero, somebody find DDG a new woman

That_Guy

Fúck off ref. Blowing the whistle for what???

Nib

Half expect to see Massimo Taibi in the crowd next.

No he was very good the 2nd half of last season, after spending the previous 2 years unable to make a 5 yard pass.

I just hate Michael Owen

Smalling was excellent last year as well generally. Before that he showed huge promise. Surprised to read that.

Rayne Wooney

Romero has a fcuk up in him, I wouldn't be comfortable with him long term

Don't like what I say about Rooney.

Can't back up a rebuttal.

Bravo.

Big United fan I think - saw him there celebrating with Memphis at half time.

GreNoLi

Almost an amazing goal.

LuckyGent88

That would have been incredible

Miss!!! lovely touch from Rooney

Lord TSC

Ah Depay, that was your hatrick.

RobertKK

So nearly perfect....

Mars Bar

AW no. That was a glorious chance and unbelievable from Shaw.

That touch from Rooney though!

Rossi IRL

Jesus if Depay scored that


Load blown

Ah ok. Certainly looking to be shaking off that 'potential' tag. I like him a lot.

Sand

So close. Would have been a hell of a goal.

Jimmy Iovine

Goal of the year if that went in.

Liam McPoyle

The fookin speed of Shaw, lads.
