Yep. Happens with all things regarding united on here. Last season has made everyone on here so annoyingly insecure and void of any sort of confidence that we get one good player and they think he'll run off first chance he gets.

Most fans here enjoyed the continuous success from SAF and they have not really experience not competing for the title. These people wants results immediately and therefore lacking in patience. You can see the joys of these people when Moyes got eradicated.
 
I don't think he'll be going anywhere this summer, but I don't think he'll be here for years and years, or that this is his last European move.
I think he was signed/targeted by Woodward first and foremost. We wanted a marquee signing, and he was relatively convenient. It was convenient for all parties involved.

That's probably why their seems to be little attachment. It feels more like a business transaction in a way.
 
His head at the top of this page says he's got a 4 goals and 7 assists in 19 games, is that correct? Because that's a lot better than I was expecting, he's been pretty average which coincides with the average team we've seen lately.

Can't confirm whether those stats are true or not but I suspect they're very front-loaded. Looking at the most recent dozen games or so would not be quite so encouraging.
 
Man Utd 3:1 Burnley
Great ball for the 2nd goal, and another very dangerous ball earlier in the half, but I thought he was pretty poor again, first half. Directly at fault for the goal too.

Only thing i could say in his defence is that once again the two lads up front are non existent. Only time we see Falcao is when he's giving the ball away. Has he kept hold of it more than twice?
 
Is he really that good? Yes he stood out for RM but that was a largely different role, essentially he was doing a lot of donkey work for Ronaldo, and doing it well. We need more from him at Utd, and I'm not sure he is really quite capable of providing it.
 
To the posts above 3 assists of the 7 were miss-hit shots. Mata vs QPR, Herrera vs Leicester, Falcao vs Everton.
 
Probably our only player who has created chances for us today. Needs to be given free reign on the wings to whip in those crosses.

No player would stick out in this side. Ronaldo would be invisible 9 out of 10 games I'm pretty sure
 
very very good tonight....playing him wide and he's been able to use his pace and great delivery from wide

I think our best formation is 4-2-3-1 with Rooney at 10 and Di Maria wide - finally getting behind their defence with a good chance of scoring
 
Yep, he's been our best attacker by a mile. His quality has finally shone through.
 
He just needs space. No matter where he plays if he can get at a player he's one of the very best in the world at getting past them. We need to make him the main man.
 
Did well that second half. Drove forward with the ball at any given opportunity and in the end he's got us two goals.

But it was Burnley, and that performance was his best for a long long time. Has plenty to do in the coming weeks
 
Very good performance from him, loved him tracking back at around the 88th minute and the tackle he made which earned him a yellow, showed a bit of passion, funny how he seemed to play a lot better as a winger though.

I don't think "we" need to do anything. "He" needs to play like that more often. Such a good player when he's fired up like he was tonight. Think he was pissed off at the ref, which brought the best out of him.
 
He may not be 'at his best' out on the wing, but good lord you can't stop him with one defender. Would quite like to see him and Janujaz both stuck actually wide to stretch defences.
 
Was the reason we got into the opponents half. Great Performance. Looked good out wide today with 2 assists to boot
 
I still feel his passing is very average. I don't know if he needs a bit of composure, that the pace of the league means he is rushing his passes a bit. But he does tend to give away a lot of possession in dangerous areas.
 
His passing is sloppy as shit but he's a joy to watch running with that ball and after looking soft against West Ham it was good to see him playing with passion and tenacity tonight.
