Yohan Cabaye was surprised by the difference between Van Gaal's team and the Red Devils that he played against in his previous life in the Premier League, with Newcastle United. “In those days they could score at every moment in the game. Today they did not have big chances to score, except a free-kick in the first half from Rooney. They kept the ball and they can play passes, passes, passes, but if you stay in a good shape they cannot do anything to pass through you or be dangerous.
I do not want to say it is easy to play against them. They are still a big team with fantastic players but we have got a good team too. They kept the ball well but we were more dangerous and had more chances.”
