    Good. He's shite with his feet and he punches too many clearances.

    Not really good. He was poor the last game or so he played in, but his efforts last season were great. I'd love to keep him as a second keeper. You can't really have a second string gk without a flaw or two.
     
    Make no mistake about it, Miki not being in the squad at all confirms he's leaving. Unless of course, he just suddenly got injured. When Jose says a player will play, the player plays unless something suddenly happens. E.g like Arsenal saying, 'wrap him in wool and send him to us immediately for Sanchez'.

    Well overdue fella. We could and should have smashed a few this season, but 'could and should,' doesn't help the goal difference.

    Yeah. I said before we have Burnley and Spurs away next. Liverpool and Chelsea are right up our arse, both in points and goal difference. They've really caught up with us, so we need this cushion going into those games to stay 2nd IMO. Big win would be awesome.
     
    Gary Neville trying to prevail a lot of sense here but looks like Media is all biased and have been fed with this "Money" jibe against United.
     
    Delighted AV is back in the straying 11. I hope Luke Shaw has another good game and we can think that we finally have some decent competition for the LB slot.
    A good, strong performance with a 3/4 goal margin would be ideal given the performance for Spurs and LFC this weekend.
     
    “I would be lying if I say it’s a pure tactical decision. It was just a choice of the players that we know, in this moment, they have 100 per cent their heads in Manchester United.

    “No doubts about the future. I don’t think it’s easy for a player to play when there are doubts about his future. It’s added pressure that a player doesn’t need, so I think it’s the best for him and for us, while the doubt is in the air, to protect him.”
     
    Are we sure it's the 40 year old Stephen Ireland and not someone else with the same name?

    Wow. Jose all but confirms that the deal is almost going to be done between United and Arsenal. Fantastic if true.
     
    Don't hate the starting 11 but those 3 man midfield dreams appear to be short lived. Shame.

    Lost the link now, but last week I read on Marca that he said he loves being with us but needs first team football to make sure he gets the gig with Argentina at the WC. Shame, probably the best #2 in the EPL.

    Anyway....Happy with this team, although I would have preferred Rojo rather than Smalling.

    Can't believe we could lose this, but can see it being the usual struggle against a team lining up 1-5-4-1.

    That really is a crying shame, but totally understandable. Good luck to the lad and well done LVG for signing him.

    With regards to the game, we should have too much strength to batter these lot, but stranger things have happened. I'm going for a 2-0, with an early goal and a late goal.

    Let's grab the tail of that city team! Come on united
