Fair play Jesse......great goal!!

Rossi IRL

Didn't know lingard had that in him.

Manutd_4life

Jesse is gonna have a big season if he keeps this up

Fantastic Lingard, game badly needed that.

Potential Underachiever

Good goal, terrible celebration.

He'll probably score now, but still. It's kinda sad to see him so far off the pace.

It really amazes me he's still gets into the 1st team.

Agent Coulson

How many goals does Rooney need to get the club record of goals scored 5 or 6?


I'd say as soon as he gets them he will be shown the door in the next transfer window after he breaks it.

He shouldn't be getting involved so deep. His best seasons were always playing off the last defender and using his movement and finishing ability. He is too lackadaisical when deeper.

Reminded me of Giggs against Arsenal, bobble here , bobble there.

Manutd_4life

Leceister defence collapsed there. He ran right through them all

How come no one is picking up on how terrible Zlatans passing has been?

Because he's Zlatan.

That goal was as good as Rooney's performance has been bad.

The players are just then wrong position to receive the ball.

Rooney doing Simpson for pace makes me question what Simpson was doing all sumer.

Advocates of Rooney in a deeper role always claimed he can ping it around a bit, and is somewhat creative, so he should be a natural at it.

Of course, that ignores the fact that he takes forever to make a pass. A great playmaker receives the ball and already knows what to do with it. Rooney has to take the ball, think about what comes next, and finally pass it. By which point it's way too late, play has slowed down. I think he's an awful midfielder in that role.

Love Shaw

The problem is the wages he is on and no one will touch him on less United pay him off.

Manutd_4life

I hope Jose shows his ruthlessness and drops Rooney a sap. Club legend but he is well past it

Andersonisgod

A few years ago at Man Utd the fear was that there was a lack of dynamism up front for the club. Ibra and Rooney combination is not the way to solve that. The Carrick/Fellaini/Rooney axis is far too slow in possession, and the result has been a distinct lack of flowing play. Ultimately you'd assume this is how Mourinho will set up for the season and it is starting to resemble a Mourinho team, for good and for bad.

Manutd_4life

Great touch by BT showing stats in the corner.

StringerBell

Yes Pogba, Miki etc won't get a sniff, Martial? pfft, forget him.

You used to be good at this

edgecutter

Would love Mickey or Mata on at half time for Rooney.

He is on the same as Basti isn't he?

Crikey Michael Own has gotten fat.

Martial is playing no? Im not at all convinced that, in possession, Pogba makes this team any faster. We will see how Mourinho uses Mkhitaryan but it certainly wont be in central midfield where the pace issue is greatest.

Manutd_4life

Musa on. Very dangerous player

Manutd_4life

Bailly is having a stormer!!!

Defender looks the real deal

Great stuff from Baily

Rooney's first touch would drive you mad

Mars Bar

If bailly has another gear or two in him, then he's going to be very good!

He has been pretty awful so far. Hopefully just rustiness

First mistake Shaw has made. Surprised mahrez didn't hit it earlier.

Mars Bar

Ah fellaini...

Lord TSC

Insect Overlord

Rookie mistake. Disappointing.

Great finish tbf

Poor from Fell

Grid.

Dreadful Fellaini:rolleyes:

Manutd_4life

Game on!!! Let's go

Jamie Wardy has scored, according to my Ruski stream

RobertKK

Nice assist by Fellaini :mad:

Liam O

Fellaini did so well to intercept. Very disappointed with that pass. Jokeworthy.

Rooney ffs

SWtream died grrr what happened?

Fellaini made a lovely interception, and then played a weak back-pass straight into the path of Jaime Vardy. Defenders hadn't a hope of stopping him.
