Yeah this. Those 3 just have to be the midfield.
I think this guy deserves a lot of credit for why we look so solid. 5 tackles and 5 interceptions in that game, he disrupts the opposition. Still has one too many slack moments though.
AGREE

Hopefully the manager sees this, and is just waiting for Schweinsteiger to get fully fit.
I reckon Schweini will start on Tuesday.

Yup, we need to play those 3 in midfield on a regular basis.
Minister of pressing.
Passing range like Carrick with a combative nature when pressing. Really good player.
Was thinking of something clever to say. Think I'll leave it at 'this'.
Gets better every game. Ladies and gentlemen if Van Gaal wants us to look and play like Ajax 95 then he has sure found his Edgar Davids. Pitbull.
the less you hear his name the better he's played. unless he scores of course. he's playing his role wonderfully well.
Makes me think. How did Rodgers shop half the Southampton team without picking this guy up?
He's still far away from his best form but like most of our players need some more time and games
Pretty much our destroyer tonight. Did a good job. Midfield looks made of steel with him.
So happy to have him. Misplaces some passes sure, but he gets through so much work, tracks runners, presses, makes tackles to stop counter-attacks, makes runs forwards to make space for other players... Super important to have someone like him when Carrick's on, and he looks even more impressive when Schweini and Herrera are alongside him.
Part of the reason the defense is playing well. Also made a surprising amount of runs in to their box.
Good player. Has the potential to be a right beast for us.
Like I said when we signed him, we signed him to be a #8 not a #6.
Runs box to box brilliantly.
Reminds me of Fletcher in his prime.

Great athlete and tackles and presses well, needs to be a bit more careful with the ball at times though.
Love, love, love Schneiderlin.
He's so quietly effective. He picks up the right positions, shows for every ball, covers every blade of grass. He's exactly what the midfield has been screaming out for all this time.

He was the only one smart enough to say no.
I'm just so happy we signed him. Could have easily been an Arsenal player.
Thanks Wenger and Rodgers.
Maybe my favorite current United player
He's lucky, this guy wanted to sign for bloody Spurs but Soton said no.
Typical overlooked top performance he was doing for south
This. I was elated he stayed because he would have been damn near impossible to sign from Spurs. Im more shocked Gunners passed on him and signed up Arteta for another year. Crazy.
Thought he played really well. Does so many things for us. One of these days his forays going forward will result in a goal.
Seems like people really think he had a good game. I saw it differently, think he was average and is still behind his best form. Get's caught on the ball too many times, is not mobile enough in midfield and struggles to bring the play/ball forward or to build up our game. However, happy that he's hear and I'm sure he will be much better in the coming weeks
So true. Still lacks composure on occasion but he's a monster of a ball winner.One of our better players tonight, he really loves to press, doesn't he?
ampton.
His fighting for the ball around 70th minute was class, can't remember who it was (Richards?) that tried to block him from the ball and let it roll out for a goal kick yet he outmuscled and outsmarted the guy and then played some neat pass.
His stamina is ridiculous, remember him almost skipping late on, wasn't laboured at all. Not surprised he's the midfielder who's played every minute so far.
Yep, Van Gaal praised his energy when we signed him and it shows. He was just fighting for the ball until the end.
Guy is phenomenal off the ball. Works hard and is a tackling machine.
Needs to do better on the ball though, especially with keeping the ball/getting pressed. He sometimes sleeps with it and loses posession because of not knowing whats going on around him.

The lad is class. His ability to nick the ball even from behind without going to ground is fantastic. His distribution is good. His reading and anticipation is good. His support play and stamina is excellent. This is the start of a beautiful friendship.
What an engine he has, I swear he was constantly touching both ends of the pitch. We have seriously missed a player who could do this, as well as other key attributes.
5 tackles, 5 interceptions. Solid!!
There really is no quantifiable metric for defensive midfielders. Especially with the phantom praise that Carrick has been receiving prior to this season. Personally I think Morgan has been and is already the better player. Another excellent performance this morning, he will in my mind prove to be our best signing this season, if anything so far has been to go by.
