    Looks good to me, Nani did look good for the little time he was on against Dipper FC

    True, that said playing Rooney and Kagawa brings it's own problem that you can't play them both inthier best position. I'd have Rooney and Kagawa alternating between playing out wide and playing in the hold, make them harder to mark and you give them both opportunity to operate in their best position at various points during the games. In most cases I'd prefer to bring Hernandez on up front than Welbeck but Welbeck's hold up play is second to none at times so he definitely deserves a place when the situation requires.

    Agreed. If you play Nani instead of Valenica, you could alternate Rooney, Valenica and Kagawa allowing the attacking midfield trio to shift around and drag any marking defenders all over the place. Thats where Felliani comes in running from deep.

    Still need to shift players out and bring in fresher midfielders next Jan and summer window though. Oh and shift out a stupid CEO as well.

    Rvp:"I'm happy with the style of Moyes. He does his own training sessions, he's close with the players and prepares us with his staff.#mufc

    Van Persie:''Its great working with the new manager David Moyes. He has his own style and methods and I like these," #MUFC

    Van Persie: It is great working with Moyes at Manchester United

    Van Persie insists he is a fan of the former Moyes tactics, and revealed Moyes appraoch has brought a 'very good atmosphere' to the club.

    Happy enough. Needs to be consistent and still clear of injury but nevertheless, has real talent.

    Hopefully he'll pick up his form and consistency that has dipped the past two seasons, I think he along with everyone else knew that he wasn't trusted by Fergie in the big games... If he knows that Moyes believes in him he may get the kick up the backside he needs <ok>

    Always found that odd, I understand Fergie wanted a more consistent player in the big games because he knew what he'd get. However, Nani always seemed up for the big games and he's got the ability to be a match winner.

    Yeah I think Valencia was favoured over Nani for his work rate, especially defensively. And Rooney often ended up wide as well, for much the same reason.

    As long as he gets minutes in the premier league I don't think he'll want to leave. From what I've seen he comes across as a football first type of guy. If he's playing, then he'll have no reason to leave.

    Wish we had played Pogba more.

    With Roo failing to say if he is happy at UTD its time for Sir David to sell him, to PSG etc

    £45M will do the trick

    true.. meanwhile the other problem with Pogba is that we didn't matched what Juv offered him too as far as i remember when rumors started to circle about the player future, not sure if we matched what Juv offered later on or not

    Pogba wanted more money, and Juve were willing to pay him more money. Who get the better end of that deal? <grr>

    Had we played him more, he may have proven himself worth the extra money.

    Nick Powell will start for Wigan tonight.

    Jesse Lingard joins Birmingham on a one month loan deal.
