At least we know we're not a one man team!

Still, can't wait for this lad to get back.
 
We didn't need him today. I'd imagine Van Gaal wants him fully fit for the holiday and Jan fixtures.
 
Amen, those first 3 or so games, i thought if he was injured for a stretch we would be fecked.
 
hope he will be ready for the festive period.

surprisingly we didn't miss him much the last 2 or 3 games but you always want an angel in your line up.
 
I think the break will have done him good. Form became a bit patchy and hopefully he can come in again with a big impact.
 
Aston Villa 1:1 Man Utd
Must've had money on himself to score today. Turned to shite and lost our momentum when he came on.
 
Will take him a couple of games to get back to match sharpness.
 
Kept trying that cut inside and shoot thing, resulting in the ball dribbling towards Guzan.

Not match fit right now, hopefully he'll look back to his best against Newcastle.
 
Have to be honest, he's borderline awful as a winger so far. Not just based on this game.
 
Did LvG actually sign him to play him as winger? He's not been in central midfield for a long time now.
 
We played a little better for a while after he was subbed on, he provided the pace and movement that we needed upfront, but individually it was a bad performance from him. Disappeared in the end. Nothing to worry about though, he isn't match-fit and it wasn't a best game to regain match fitness.
 
Too many weak shots on goal. Should focus on this teammates as he eases his way back in.
 
Hopefully we can get a 4-4-2 diamond with Carrick, Herrera, Di Maria and Mata all playing together. The latter 3 is when we have played our best football.
 
And people are laughing at me when I say that Nani is better winger than him. Worse player of course, but better winger.
As a winger, yes, Nani's crossing is better than Di Maria.
 
Too greedy on the right and we didn't get the ball out to him enough on the left, needs to step it up over Christmas.
 
fecked up the momentum we had we he came on with his useless shots. Maybe if would have been better to put him in central midfield and put Rooney upfront...

Since he came here he was fantastic every time he played central and shit when he played wide and these days he seems to play wide all the time.
 
Since he came to United he is insisting on long range shots but they look nothing special. He can score from around the box but I have no idea why he tries so many shots from longer distances.
 
Didn't think he was bad on the right (more up front anyways), couldn't get into the game on the left though. It wasn't him coming on that killed our momentum, it was Wilson on for Valencia. We were looking pretty good at first with him up front and got close to going in behind on occasion.
 
Play him centrally. Wasted out wide largely in part because there were no other people making supporting runs off him which made play very one dimensional. Has been off form for quite a while now and hope he regains it quick.

It's hilarious and frustrating in equal measure that we've broken our transfer record twice in this calendar year, yet insist on playing both of these players in a different position to the one which gave us cause to buy them in the first place.
 
Another puzzling decision by LVG to put him as a wing back, Mata should have been taken off, Rooney as no.10 and Di Maria in midfield.
 
got into a couple of decent positions but his shooting was that of someone who hasn't played in a month....he will improve and can't wait to see him and Herrera back in the starting lineup
 
Even before his injury, he's been trying to force things, to force the dribbling and the crazy shooting. I think he needs to relax and not try to shoulder more responsibility. He's so good already.
 
I expected much more from him since he joined us. Apart from his first couple of games, he's not been in good form.

He was injured for the past month? What do you expect in his 30 minutes he was on today where everyone else is standing still.

Incredible how quickly people make their minds up about players.
