7tackles and 2 interceptions, fantastic positional play, didn't let Everton have a single opening through the middle. 97% pass acc is bonus with the winning goal. He was my joint 2nd best player of the game with Ander as the MOTM award has to go to Smalldini. Everton in this form away from home, especially against us who struggle in away games, that is fecking huge - clean sheet at Goodison..

back to Morgan, him and Herrera being lined-upagainst Arsenal from minute one and that shit would have never happened..
 
He along with Herrera need to start pretty much every game we play this season in the league. Morgan, happy he got his goal too. Topped a good performance from him.
 
Now that's the Schneiderlin we signed! Best performance for us so far and if it weren't for Herrera he'd have been my man of the match.

Imperative he plays when fit.
 
Absolutely outstanding today. Thats why I was desperate for us to sign him!

Completely bossed the midfield.

He's the most obvious beneficiary of our increased urgency in getting the ball forward with haste. The options Herrera and Mata offer him to unload the ball quickly also open spaces for him to be even more adventurous if he wants to be.

To be fair EVERYONE in the team benefits from having 3 proper midfielders on the pitch in the middle of the park and not some converted 2nd striker business.

With the players we have, we simply can not expect to build a team/strong style without having those 3 in the middle. I.e we do not have a Robben/Ribbery on the wings, who double as playmakers/highly intelligent ball playing players, who also more than do their bit with their attacking contribution.
 
Been down on him but obviously played very well today. Good stuff.
 
The sort of performance I was hoping for when we signed him. Very happy to see him grab a goal too.
 
Very glad he's finally had that breakout game, probably the biggest positive aside from the result for me. He's been signed as the long term replacement for Carrick & Basti, and he's been pretty iffy so far. Getting him in form an comfortable in the shirt was a big priority for this early season period.

Yep. He was decent before this game, without really standing out ever, but was terrific today, ignoring the goal. He always shows his tackling and defensive qualities, but today he put it together on the ball and showed quality on it as well, which is what is needed at a club like United. A shame that it isn't Arsenal we were playing next week, because it would be a completely different game with Herrera and Schneiderlin in the middle next to Schweinsteiger, instead of what we saw.
 
Great performance by Morgan. Really must have been a confident fillip this game for him and we need him like this in all the games. Involved, tackling, breaking down play. Definite starter every game for me. Keep rotating Bastian and Carrick.
 
I thought this game was his first time in a United shirt that he finally showed his quality on the ball. He showed that kind of passing for Southampton on a regular basis but had been very conservative as a United player up until now. Like others have said, even without the goal, it was his best performance as a United player so far.
 
He showed today that he's also very good with the ball. Finally he stepped up, it was a very all rounded performance and that's the player we needed to have! Hope he stays in the team now and that should be our starting XI more or less
 
Him and Ander need to play a lot more. They instil real urgency and legs into the side. Everton's midfield didn't know what to do for the first 20 minutes.
 
Both Morgan and Ander add energy, tempo and tenacity to our midfield. They should be starting most games for us.

The Schmidfielders complement each other well also.

Schneiderlin's stats yesterday were fantastic.

Schneiderlin's game by numbers: 7 tackles and 2 interceptions show he did his devensive shift as usual. Involved a lot in our general play having the most passes in our team with 67 completed passes and a 97% pass accuracy. All topped off with a goal. Can't really ask for too much more for a complete midfield performance. Hope he continues in the line-up and performing in a similar fashion.
 
Schneiderlin and Herrera did a hell of a job at cementing their place in the starting line up yesterday. Solid performance.
 
Herrera creates much more space for him in the middle and gives him more passing options. Very good game from him yesterday, not only defensive-wise.
 
I think that was his best game for us so far, he should be starting ahead of Carrick in every match. He puts himself about far more than he would.
 
Still made a few niggly needless little fouls, but that was a very small negative on a hugely positive performance. This was the type of performance he showed for Southampton regularly, and the main reason why he is here now. No doubt showed LVG how wrong he was to drop him for Arsenal.

I thought he had another good game.

Much better than at start of the season when people were praising him while he was pretty average. He definitely deserves a place in starting XI now though.
 
Best player on the pitch. Was pinging it around nicely as well.
 
Was very good again. We look so much better defensively also when he's playing.
 
He must start against City. I'll be furious if we play Basti and Carrick on the weekend.
 
His switches of play, breaking up counters and general positioning were immense tonight. 2 footed diagonal balls. Rooney and Gerrard dream of that stuff.
 
At times one of the only players who were able to make that yard of space for themselves.
 
Plays much better having another midifelder in there instead of Rooney. His passing has been really good recently, particularly when he's switching the ball.
