Great signing., an intelligent no nonsense midfielder. Who would have thought that him and Rojo (by coincidence both WC semi finalists who played against each other) would be our most important signings of the summer.

The most pleasing thing about this is that it gives us the fans, but more importantly woodward / glaziers confidence in giving LVG cash to spend. Anybody can pick out a Di Maria, Mata, Falcao or even a Shaw.

But signing Blind and Rojo for a combined £30m is absoutley great business in todays market. Qaulity players who despite their age and potential to improve are also pretty experianced.
 
I think even LVG is surprised how good he's been for us.

I don't think he'd have signed him, if we got whoever else he wanted (Vidal, Strootman,...). We got him on the 31st of August, after LVG kept saying he only needs a day to sign a player if needed. Glad we got him.
 
West Ham 1:1 Man Utd
Has to be hands down our best summer signing - who would have thought we would be saying that after hearing Di Maria and Falcao had signed
 
He's arguably our most important outfield player now.
 
Brilliant strike. Imagine we would have won it had either of our overpaid strikers taken their chances.
 
Thought he did well as the only defensive midfielder until afro came on. Tidy player.
 
Definitely nowhere near his best game today, was largely ineffective... But thats a really good goal. When Strootman does that the transfer forum is full of people saying we should buy him for over £30 million
 
Class apart amongst the outfield players today. Even without the goal it was a solid performance in a difficult game.
 
Twice he has saved us late on in PL games this season. He fights till the end and doesnt hide. We need more players with spirit like that.
 
Good goal. I didn't think he played well though. Him being virtually the solitary midfield player didn't help.
 
Beside the great goal, I thought he was a bit rubbish the whole game. The amount of free shot West Ham had from his supposedly territory area was worrying.
 
Wasn't pleased with his performance in possession at all today and we all saw Jones and Rojo really huffing and puffing because no one was helping them to track Sakho and Valencia. But if he wants to score goals like that to stop us from losing, I'll take that.

Showing more leadership than the bigger names playing in front of him though!
 
Our best player saves the day. I love this guy. He was completely abandoned in midfield today and it showed at times but what a time to pop up and grab a great equaliser.
 
We had no midfield out there because van Gaal has decided he hates Herrera enough to not even sub him on, Rooney played mostly forward and Di Maria was all over the place which left Blind very exposed so it's hard to assess his all round performance. Wasn't terrible IMO.

Its idiotic when you think him and Herrera worked so well at the start of the season and they rarely play together anymore.

We go from having one out and out midfielder to 3 yet we still persist with one and sticking Rooney there
 
He could do with some actual midfielders as partners. Wasn't great but still the only one who seemed like capable of doing his job in midfield and got the equalizer when I almost had given up hope. That's the kind of spirit we need in our players.
 
Its difficult playing in a midfield one.

Poor bastard. Great goal.

This x1000. It's like poor Carrick for the past 2 seasons. Expected to do it all.
 
For most of the match he was ignored by our defenders/midfielders. We have to trust in him to be able to get the ball in tight situations and break open their midfield.

Was a generally poor performance from him until right at the end. Struggled with the physicality and pace of song and co.
 
Poor performance but super strike to score. Needs to compete better in the air and also in the midfield battle; lost too many 50/50s.

As others have mentioned, at this point he looks the pick of our summer signings.

He was defending four players worth. His own, and the three ahead of him.
 
He was literally the only midfielder with any defensive responsibility for the entire game. There were times when he was a bit anonymous but even without his goal he would have been one of our better players but to get an equalizer too means he's my MOTM.
