I doubt the board really cares who plays as long as we win.

People are overly critical of him and if this is because of the so called transfer requests and/or his wages it is unwarranted.
Yeah variation is good, but i personally think that they should alternatively provide width and shouldn't drop beside Herrera.
Has anyone catched him discussing something/yelling with/at Rafael(?) after the Herrera's goal? It only showed it on the side of the screen so I hardly catched it so I wonder what was it about.
Ye. I think it all depends on players movement around then. I mean, if you watch Mata's goal again, Rooney and Van Persie were almost playing as wingers.
I caught that as well and was hoping it was discussed, but I have seen not a word about it.
Yeah I noticed that too, haven't a clue what it was about though.
He played like shit until his goal (while QPR defended doggedly), then he upped his game a level.
Hell, even the assist for Herrera was a poor shot that rebounded back to him.
That said, a goal and an assist on an average day? I'll take that any day of the week. Would you mind get going Robin?

I wish he'd scored that move where he talk the ball down with the outside of his foot, that'd have been nice.
Him up front with Mata at number 10. I don't think having RVP, Falcao and Rooney on at once will work very well. They will make similar movements and just take space away from each other.
Thought he was good today. I've been critical of Rooney before but I genuinely hope these new signings can help him to perform better and more consistently. It's not exactly been easy for him to score and create when our midfield and wings have been so poor for such a long time.
Regarding him, RVP and Falcao being on the pitch at the same time, I think it could potentially work. When Falcao came on today they were all taking up different positions, all moving around and all getting on the ball and into the box. We could have quite easily got another two goals out of these three players after Falcao came on

I missed his goal which was quite well-taken, but at times he stood out to me as not as gifted as the players around him.
He did good today mainly after his goal, before that he was frustrating, everytime he drops to middle to receive the ball instead of doing a forward pass, he would always turn and pass backwards
And then you got Di Maria, who gets ball and always goes forward with it, tbh thats what I expect from Rooney
Thats the thing about Rooney hes so polarising, there's some matches, he will play utter shite, and then other games every good thing will start or go through him

Did good today, good finish for the goal. Needs to stop passing the ball to Valencia every chance he gets...
He probably should have scored another, but overall he put in a decent shift which was overshadowed by Di Maria, Hererra and Blinds great performances.
That was my one and only issue with him today. He kept going backwards and playing safe passes a lot of the time. He missed so many progressive passes.
What i like about him is that he shoots from distance, not like some other players in our team. He sees a chance and tries to smash it in. That is not always positive, but sometimes it is needed. There was a time where he ddidnt shoot from distance and always passed the ball to the flanks, even though he was in a great position. Agree that he looks better than RvP at the moment, but that can change in the future.
A good game for Wayne and congratulations to him on becoming the joint 3rd top scorer in the Premier League! He's had an amazing career and plenty of time to go yet, he should end up breaking a number of records.
Thought he was very good without being fantastic, did his job well andpleased to see him score and as said, congrats on climbing the goal scoring ladder.
He pings them to diMaria/Januzaj/Rafael we ll see a different result.
It isnt the passer that is the problem here.
Rooney with a sly dig at Gerrard. Good to see.
Anyone else think the team spirit right now is better then its been for years? There was a proper togetherness I felt today, especially with the way they celebrated all the goals. They all looked genuinely happy to be playing for United.
it is sad that we lost so many leaders, but at the same time i like the fact that there will be new ones and a new hierarchy in the dressing room. Totally exciting. I think the team spirit is better than before, better team now and i think the players know that we can challenge for trophies in the near future.
Had a decent game and genuinely looked up for it, I think he needs to work on his short passing game though and not rake it out wide every chance he gets.
No Falcao love?
I'm guessing Di Maria doesn't have a twitter?

I'm guessing Di Maria doesn't have a twitter?There was a definite freshness, and good vibe to the team, thats been needed for a while. Too many players had become too comfortable at United, happy to put in as little effort as possible in order to get on by. Most of that has been cleared out, and the squad is now full of players that are desperate to succeed at United. Its unbelievably exciting.

no, but hsi wife has an instagram account. Just remembering the Di Maria photoshopped pictures that United fans send her
Yep. It was best orchestrated through Herrera's gigantic grin at the fact Mata had scored from a di Maria fluffed shot. All of these players really look like they 'want to play for the shirt'. I know we were all poking fun at our Spanish-speaking contingent, but it sure seems like they've revitalised the dressing room, which is awesome.
Whenever players come in of this quality, it is going to give everyone a lift and players will look forward to coming into training the next day. A win on top of that, that brings happiness and confidence. Long may it continue but it was only QPR at home at the end of the day.
He completely was enjoying playing with Di Maria on that side. Almost like the old days with Ronnie.
Rooney had a good game; an assist for Herrera and a clinical finish from the edge of the box, along with decent link-up play with the other attackers. I don't think he'll ever be explosive as he was pre-2010/11, but I don't think we need him to be that player again. Rather than explosions of pace and power, I'd prefer he continued to develop his vision in between the lines and his first touch and passing in and around the box (his long shot is still good so no problems there). I predict a big season for Wayne.
Rooney was not as prominent as he's often been and I'm kind of happy about that because it means other players are excelling around him. I really have no complaints about his performance today, just my usual wish that his first touch would improve.
I saw that as well, kept rewatching that to see what the issue was. They seemed fine afterwards so it had to be something minor.
Good enough finisher when he plays up front, capable of fantastic Scholes-esqe long passes from midfield, but utterly frustrating when he plays in that number 10 role. He's not clinical enough, and always seems to end up with a backward pass.
But all in all, a decent performance from him. Maybe a bit unlucky that on this day there were a few who played even better.

It's funny because, after Ronaldo, guess who Rooney provided most goals to? And that just in two seasons. Robin to Rooney, same thing.
Looks like he was consoling him about something, also hugged him. Trying to calm him down?
Guess the players gotten used to him being a captain and now coming to him with problems.
Top game Rooney.
The game shows that Rooney as a second striker can be very good. He probably has a poor first touch sometimes to be our first choice no.10 and drops in too deep too often to be a lone no.9. But to my eyes, this role suited him beautifully well- the second striker. Again, early days and he has had a couple of bad games too but this looks like a good position for him.
