He was all over the park tonight, hunting down every ball and involved constantly in breaking it up and getting it in quickly to our forwards, probably his best all round game for us.

Took a quarter of the game to get fully horny. Then bossed it
That brilliant sliding challenge in the first half led to our first goal. He had a really good game. Had 3 chances to score as well.
Yeah that was a full bossing in there today. Every time the ball broke from there area I was saying "Morgs" in my head and he would just appear. Great game.
Great energy from both him and Herrera today. Very mobile midfield.
Still feel he can do a lot better with his passing. During the second half he misplaced a pass and quickly won the ball back, which about summed him up. Hopefully he takes confidence from this and improves.
Very good performance. He's brilliant at closing players down and winning the ball quickly. He's much less effective when referees are quick to call soft fouls on him, so he definitely benefitted from the officials tonight!
A much better performance from him tonight.
Was getting in tangles with the opposition and coming away with the ball.

For me he is out most important midfielder. His aggression and ball winning ability is vital. There's a lot of potential in this Schneiderlin Herrera partnership.
Good to see him push forward for once, had a couple of decent efforts too.
I think this is it. I think next to somebody static (like Carrick) it doesnt work. Next to Herrera, they can both get up and down and cover for each other. Ive been wanting this tbh (with maybe another midfielder - one of Carrick or Basti with them in tougher games but these two against lesser teams).
Nearly scored a brilliant goal with that scissor kick.
The new Cleverley & Anderson?
Lets be honest, we all loved them for that really short period :P
Like everyone pointed out, his best game in a United shirt. Hope this is the kick he needed to re-ignite his career here. Loved how energetic, direct and attacking he was today. Really wanted that goal
Brilliant game from him - it doesn't matter who the opposition were, he dominated the midfield and looked very positive on the ball. Would have been my MOTM if it wasn't for Memphis. More of the same please!
Fortunately, injuries will likely force us to play the sort of midfield we should have played against Arsenal in fecking October or whenever it was. I still can't get my head around not starting Schneiderlein away at Arsenal. If you won't play him in that game, then you shouldn't play him at all.
Now we will likely have Scneiderlein and Herrera on the pitch against the Gunners as we should do, as opposed to the geriatrics.

He threw the shackles off, totally different performance than what he played the whole season. Happy to see our coaching stuff not restricting him. He was everywhere, thats how he should play, and not sit deep and play it safe and anxious. He was so uncomfortable in that previous role, lost all confidence.
I agree with you in principle. The problem is that both midfielders already have already played two full games this week. I can see them running out of steam and getting over run fairly early
You're right. The only thing that may help is that they have had two relatively easy games, while the Arsenal lot got basically dragged all over the pitch for 90 mins themselves.
I know it probably doesn't work like that!

“They are stepping up all the time, but nobody is talking about Schneiderlin and he has just played his best match by far. I’m happy for him, because some players never get the spotlight and that’s a great pity.”

Good to see him get praise from LVG, but some of these players need to start showing this kind of form at a higher level for us. Let's see how they fare on Sunday.
Big, big game for Schneiderlin against Arsenal.
Exactly the kind of game he was bought for and he needs to make a big impact.

Sooo when are we going to remove 'bench' from the title of this thread?
Man Utd 3:2 Arsenal
Poor marking on Welbeck's goal and almost scores an own goal.
Not a great half.

Does this guy really play for France? He won't last in that squad for long at this rate. That marking from the freekick was pathetic for a supposed combative midfielder. He's not won the ball half as much as the slighter Spaniard Herrera either. Needs to buck his ideas up, he's been pretty wank all season.
Not looking a player at all any more. What happened? Did he get philosophized?
Summer transfer muppets, I blame you.
We thought we were getting the best midfielder in the Pl.

I get the feeling he's just not very good.
Thought he looked like a solid and dependable defensive midfielder at the beginning of the season.
Looks nothing like that now.

Dunno why but VG plays Herrera much further up the pitch so there is big space to defend, we should drop Herrera deeper, its a job for two players today..
Barely noticed him until he almost scored an OG.
I was delighted when we signed him. He was brilliant for Southampton and anyone who says otherwise obviously never watched him. Getting called up to a relatively impressive French team whilst playing for Southampton is impressive. But my god, I've been so disappointed with him so far.
Big disappointment so far, he seems so scared of the ball and keeps making fouls over and over again.
What the hell was the purpose of his little spin when the ball was crossed? He lost both the player and the ball as a result. When you're as useless on the ball as he is you need to be much better defensively than that.
That was horrendous by him for Arsenal's goal. Been poor for a while now, hope it's just form.
Seems to be playing deeper again, not getting forward as much as the other night.
He's fecking shite. Play Fosu Mensah there
He's fecking awful.
You're having a laugh! The player's shite! Not worth £25m and not good enough for United. Just a mid-table squaddie. Should have stayed at Southampton. That's his level.
