Entertaining half. Everyone has been OK, not great, but not bad as well.

You'd have thought it would slow down faster than that. Dangerous.

I really want to see Martial play as a striker.

So Martial should've just walked alongside the defence until Rooney decided it was time to pass, only to have to dribble past the defenders, instead of just running past them and getting a correctly timed ball?

I seen a lot worse games with no shots on goal

That was one of our games too?

space · Oct 25, 2015

I think Rooney's been okay, we are play well, just need to get through the middle rather than cross it in, or bring on Young and Fellaini if we are to continue like this

Rossi19 · Oct 25, 2015

this. If only LVG had the balls to sub Rooney

WyoManU · Oct 25, 2015

City are clearly the more dangerous side. At home, in a derby, and we don't have a single shot on target. Only Martial has the willingness and ability to take his man on. The rest of our side looks to pass it sideways and backwards. We might have good possession numbers but we don't look the more likely to score. Mata and Herrera find good positions but when they get the ball they only look for a pass and never to drive the ball forward. It just isn't working. We might be a side that is difficult to beat, but we sure aren't an attacking minded side.

VorZakone · Oct 25, 2015

Martial, take a bow son. So calm and assured at the age of 19 in a heated derby.

Siorac · Oct 25, 2015

I imagine this must be quite the excruciating borefest for a neutral.

I am sick with nerves though, scrappy games like this are killing me. If one ball falls rights for them, the task will look uphill. It works both ways though, of course.

Absolutely nothing in it. City seem slightly more dangerous, perhaps. Mata and Rooney both need to do more in the final third. Schneiderlin seems to freeze every time he crosses the halfway line, as good as he is in our own half.

SalfordRed1960 · Oct 25, 2015

Both teams should be happy with that.

City obviously here for the counter, but are only really looking for kdb as an outlet. He is largely in Rojo' pocket.

United look good on the ball, Herrera being marked out of the game. Only concern is Jones, just does not know what to do with the ball.

Still think we are in more control than City.

gbgary · Oct 25, 2015

tense, tight. happy with the way we've played so far.

Bastian · Oct 25, 2015

Rooney has been decent whilst not threatening. I would still like to see Martial up front and I wonder if Louis has the courage to actually do that, or the wisdom.

Schneiderlin has had a bit of a nightmare

Rojo has been excellent and Martial keeps showing he is the most talented player in our team. He seems to have confidence the rest of the team have lacked for 2 and a half years now.

prath92 · Oct 25, 2015

Rooney has been much better than Bony. Though nobody here will agree.

pauldyson1uk · Oct 25, 2015

sometimes I think we expect to much.
I think its been a decent Derby game, OK so there has been no shot on target but its been far from boring.

Organic Potatoes · Oct 25, 2015

Marcus Rojo MOTM so far. Would you believe it?

David Court · Oct 25, 2015

United need to show some more penetration in the second half

Although often good in possession, a bit toothless up front

Unfair to expect Martial to do everything

Eboue · Oct 25, 2015

Bold move by Van Gaal to drop the best RB in the world for a winger but it has worked out so far.

I'm deluded? Because I don't agree with you? Really?
Now everyone can see who's the deluded TWAT!

Raw · Oct 25, 2015

United v City is only the 2nd PL game this season not to have a shot on target in the 1st half, along with United v Liverpool.

Kant-ona · Oct 25, 2015

The line up decisions were good, so far. Valencia is quick on the right side, much quicker than his opponent, and Rojo is dealing well with KdB. However, there is a lot of kick and rush in the middle from both teams. Good to have Schweinsteiger on the pitch, who is made for this turmoil.

We spend a lot of money to get a left winger who is not that much better than Nani.

Which means: Get Martial in the middle, please.

Generally... we must do better against a City team missing important players. That's like a B version of city and we still have trouble.

I am optimistic.

nick2004 · Oct 25, 2015

Rooney is plying well. Mata is not.

Ainu · Oct 25, 2015

Very scrappy, but not boring despite a complete lack of chances. It's an interesting battle at a pretty high tempo. We'll need something special to win it, let's hope one of our lads can produce it.

dsch · Oct 25, 2015

Why are there lines on the pitch? Was there a rugby game?

missed that, have we really sponsored injury time?!

berbatrick · Oct 25, 2015

Back 4 has been good especially Rojo, midfield ok. Herrera has no influence and Mata too, he had a shocking giveaway and an awesome touch. Rooney poor. Martial godlike. The only one who is making things happen.

They have not been clearly the most dangerous side, they had attempts bit none of them were proper chances.

Raven Blade · Oct 25, 2015

We're lacking something out there. Actual attempts on goal. So much decent possession but very little to show for it. We need to be sharper in our play up front. When Valencia get's it, his crosses haven't really amounted to much while Martial is threatening with his pace but hasn't found an opening yet. A bit more movement and running in behind is needed.

RedorDead21 · Oct 25, 2015

Time to hit the Souness Mute

kouroux · Oct 25, 2015

There were a few openings for shots and no one took them. Our players need to have that hunger for scoring.

VP · Oct 25, 2015

Forget shots on target, we haven't had a single shot. When was the last time that's happened?

I think the fact that Martial expected the ball played to him pretty quick, combined with the fact that Rooney needs at least 5 seconds to bring a ball under control, meant that by the time Rooney was ready Martial was 5 yards offside.

Angelinho · Oct 25, 2015

Rojo catching the eye thus far. Nervy stuff - looking like one mistake could decide it.

Lawman · Oct 25, 2015

He made a run, then stopped running because he was offside. By that time it was too late to check back. Didn't really do much wrong

Rooney should have released it earlier or took on the shot! It was Rooneys mistake but he's not been as bad as some are making out as its a very tight game.

prath92 · Oct 25, 2015

We have been very good in all aspects. City defending well to contain us. Rojo robbing Sheikh Mansour's £54m. Has KdB in his pocket

The Purist · Oct 25, 2015

I cant quite believe how boring United are these days: surely the amount of TV games you get will be decreased in the future if this keeps up.

Halftrack · Oct 25, 2015

If LvG's unwilling to sub Rooney, at least have them switch places or something. Rooney just absorbs most of our attacks at the moment.

Mister_Stubbs · Oct 25, 2015

Another halve of football that's past Wayne Rooney by. We need to play Anthony Martial through the middle to stretch the City defence with the pace of Memphis out side.

Jed I. Knight · Oct 25, 2015

We need to get Martial centrally, and set him up against Kompany. Martial's ability with the ball, coupled with Kompany's headless chicken syndrome, will see the latter sent off before long.
