Saved us a goal with that amazing clearance. Up against those West Ham brutes he came through well.

Good performance from the youngster i hope the senior players are taking notice.
Wasnt really impressed with him on the ball, some terrible passes and long balls, but defensively he was sound and thats what matters.
it s true that at times ge gave the ball away but that s understandable considering the occasion
Glad Nolan didn't start, that thug would have taken any opportunity to break him.
That header! Wow! Could watch that all night.
Just goes to show, defenders can win matches to. Good habit to get into.
Blackett has been good, steady but doesn't seem enough. This type of stuff is what sepearates players.

What a header.... A cool head when we needed it
Our defense was immense those last 20 mins

When did Paddy start playing at CB? I thought he was superb last year alongside Charni and he had a great debut today. The fact he is so new to the position is what gives me so much hope for his potential as he still has so much to learn.
That header won us the game, fantastic. I think he was much more willing to get in and clear the danger than Blackett is.
Confident from start to finish. Was an extremely tough end to his debut but he saved his best for the last 
Brilliant.
I think he had a sterner test than Blackett has had so far.

Let's not make random assumptions. I'm glad Van Gaal played him today, was impressed, but why use it as a stick to beat a successful manager who isn't here any more?
I thought he played really well and no worse than any of our other defenders this season (i don't really know if thats a good thing though).
He will of probably been very nervous as well, proven when he took the ball out of defence into midfield than blasted a straight forward pass to Rooney who was only about 10 feet away from him.

I don't think so, especially if Jones is available. Perhaps over Evans, for the simple fact that he seems to have lost all confidence this year.
Positively surprised. Very calm on the ball, good distribution, and knew when to just clear the ball out.
And that backwards diving header... hell of a moment.

And Fergie wouldn't let this CB situation happened, starting the season. He valued CB a lot more, only second to wingers.
For a 19 year old on his debut in senior football, let alone United debut, he was brilliant. Calm, assured, looked way like he has an old head on young shoulders. That header, that was superb.
Vidic would still be here as well if Fergie was here.
I did him a disservice when I watched live, I thought there was some luck involved. That's even better than I thought.
Fantastic header. Nervy at times, but considering the circumstances (debut, 10 men, low confidence at the back, new spine of the team), he can hold his head high.
And maybe so would Evra. At one point in the past, we even let go Brown and O'Shea just because we no longer needed them, even as squad players. Crazy to think that those two would be our best defenders now (even at the age when they were both sold).
Great debut from McNair tonight. That header was great and he wasn't really getting bullied off the ball, wasn't afraid to step up against his man. Great to see.
You put a bit of trust and faith in young player,in return you get very good performance on his debut,always great to see things like that.
As good as a winning goal that header, was a certain equaliser.
I dread this place if he makes a mistake against Everton given the flip flop nature of most of the threads in here.
I liked his debut today, will be interesting to see what happens with him going forward especially once we start getting our injured players back.

Good debút by him. Not easy to come into an already shaky and unsure defence and look at ease. Nerves could have easily got to him and nobody would have been able to blame him, but it was never an issue today.
Since Milk Cup 2012 after Ioannou's injury.That means about two years ago
I kept watching it, just like watching that Machaeda's goal.
Could his name get anymore Irish?
Impressed with him .Another player alongside Blackett that seems confident on the ball.
I wonder if he wants to come play for the south.
Paddy O'McNair.
Try "Ireland Guy"
Who is going to start next week if the trio is still injured? McNair or Blackett?
Hard to call, I assume van Gaal would like a right footed defender partnering Rojo though, so McNair would be my guess.
Nobody has O' and Mc as it would defy the whole purpose of what they mean. Poor attempt son.
Probably McNair because he is right footed and Shaw was good.
Good question, but i'd go with Blackett who i think has better distribution playing the ball out from defence. He just shades it mind you
