We're giving the ball away more than a foundation to find one-testicled men another testicle.

I get the real feeling that we will get a winger in place of Valencia and that man will be Cuadrado. Valencia is just incapable of making a creative pass. He lacks "brainpower" as LVG put it.
Have to play better as a team, like before the 3rd. First two Goals from individual class were world class.
Cleverley still a pussy in tackles and error prone!

Did these guys even apologise on behalf of MUTV for their feck up?
I would be surprised if it wasn't something the money men weren't looking at. The problem is keeping it abroad though, there's nothing stopping every United fan in the UK paying for a DNS service to subscribe to the service. Sky would lose their shit.
No matter, PL get sold everywhere.
Been a bit sloppy this half, but two world class moments got us ahead, which has been the difference really.
I'm expecting a whole host of changes for the second half, but I hope we can start to keep the ball better.

Yeah he definitely said that
Couple of quality goals out there. Rooneys was great but I think I preferred Mata's. Lovely touch and finish.
Who's assist was it for Mata's goal?
In the new season, teams wouldn't know how to play us. Just brilliant. 
Anyone else think the Mata goal was a bit reminiscent of Bergkamp v Argentina in 98 ?
Was at a beer festival last night as it happens...
Crerand sounds like an old guy who likes to tell war stories. Uncle Albert from Only fools and horses for instance.
really love the Chevy advert of United down the years to the present....and Rooney's words at the end....
Nope, literally pretended it didn't happen. Disgusting! Refund please, or at least 50p back.
Welbecks hold up play was brilliant. I'm hoping for a very good season for him. I though Blackett looked decent aswell, looks good on the ball.
3 fecking quid!Tight get!
I hope Zaha makes an appearance in the second half...
River pretty please..
He gets some poxy degree from a university and goes all philosophical. Typical.
Rooney
What are the odds for a 7:1 final score?
Rooney
That's Danny higgenbotham commentating?
We need another quality defender. Down the years we've struggled a lot with injuries in this posistion and now that Furrynads and Vida have left we are even slimmer...not to mention we now play 3 CD rather than 2!
This is Fergie esque, not playing that well, but comfortably leading!
Is Paddy always like this? The guy sounds like a fecking moron
My 5-1 pre-match prediction is looking good.
Rooney, what a first touch!
Why does Paddy Crerand keep banging on about Blacketts parents watching the game? Maybe they are, maybe they aren't; you don't need to repeat it upteen times!
Paddy Crerand doing on the pitch punditry of the first half to the Beastie Boys blaring in the background.
Jesse Lingard! Fantastic
Had 2 streams, but fecked up. A stream would be nice, sorry.
Yes.
Feel great but I'm trying to stay calm and face up to our issues.
Cleverley is terrible. I want him to earn a place on the squad but he is dispossessed easily - embarrassingly easy - and offers nothing to hold down the midfield, our most glaring problem. It seems an odd decision to make him captain today because there is nothing about him that says 'leader' to me. He looks certain to cost us a goal the way things are going.
Valencia's final ball looks no different than the last two years. He's only had a few chances this week but his approach doesn't look like its changed at all. Unlike Cleverley, though, he does have the ability to win the ball back and can cover for the backline. I think if somehow he fixes that last cross into the area he will look like a much better player.
Our defending was sloppy in the first 10-15 minutes but we can use the 3-man backline as an excuse. This is pretty revolutionary for United (if my knowledge of club history serves me right) and it will take time for those three players to get used to it. Jones has been pretty good IMO, Blackett not so much. James has impressed me TBH, he looks mature and very confident.
Johnstone I think fields his position pretty well but he doesn't look the surest man with the ball. I suppose he could get better if he plays more with the first team but this year might be make or break with De Gea and Lindegaard ahead of him.
If anything, van Gaal will realize (if not already) that a MF has to be purchased before the window closes because Herrera alone isn't going to do it for us. His play was clearly affected by Cleverley being alongside of him.

Was Mata offside for the second goal?
He is Twitter in human form; shite one minute,sensible the next
To be fair though he is talking sense at the moment...
LVG must be fuming with Cleverley after that first half performance, gives him the captaincy, tries to give him some confidence and he has a shocker.
