I'm impressed that they are now referring to him as "United Ace" as opposed to "flop".
What's Fellaini being found not drink and driving got to do with "illness" a week later?
I never knew someone could be "de-arrested".
Maybe he was driving while being sick, which lead the Police to think that he was under influence.
Yeah we've all been there.
Yes, it came up with that jogger who ran into David Cameron a few weeks back. It's basically an acknowledgment that no offence has been committed.
It is intriguing... not least that nobody noticed this article yesterday
Was thinking the same, with Rafael and Shaw back we'll probably play 4-4-2 again or so I hope.

So is he in the squad for tomorrow?
Yeah. He'll probably be on bench at best
Great news, thanks.
Great news, such a solid LB.
On current form though, I wouldn't pick him over Young.
Good to see him fit but I wouldn't start him against Spurs if we're still going with the 352.
I'd rather ease both him and Rafael back against Stoke and bring the diamond back.

He is in the travelling squad, doesn't necessarily mean he'll be in the 18.
Good news nonetheless.
But Young cant play lb, he is a wing back. The only reason we're playing 3 at the back is due to having no full backs available.
Dropping Young and Valencia would be a welcome development.
As a wingback, maybe, but as a left back, it has to be Shaw everyday of the week.
Why can't he? He played in a back four at LB (with Valencia at RB) against both Hull and Stoke. He did fine.
he can, but he isnt as good as Shaw there.
Just quoting Van Gaal, thats the reason he gave for playing wingbacks.
2 terrible teams though.
Hull are garbage but Stoke are decent. That was a tough game.
We were hugely dominant that game. 65% possession, just struggled to kill the game off. .
We had to clear two chances of there's off the line (Ashley Young at left back responsible for one of those blocks). They pressed hard for an equaliser in the last 5-10 minutes and had more shots on target than us. It was definitely a tough game, and they are a good side. They should have been 4 up against Arsenal a few weeks ago. They beat City at their place. They're far from terrible.
I thought Stoke were poor against us. Youngs average position was that of a left winger, and not of a left back. He had a good game to be fair, but i didn't think there was much of a test of his defensive abilities. LVG seemingly hasnt seen enough to be convinced either as i dont think he's played him in a back 4 since.
2 best left backs in the league. Who needs Azpilcueta, Kolarov and Baines when you've got these two?Ashley Young on facebook -

Tottenham 0:0 Man Utd
Good to see him get some minutes under his belt, probably not ready for a start yet but could be pushed into it if we return to the diamond against Stoke.
I want to see him as lcb if we keep the 352 and see how he does. Young should not be dropped in this system, he's been one of our best players since november.
You want us to play him as a CB? No need for that whatsoever, he's a LB.
Needs to win his spot back from Young who has done brilliantly. Although if we go back to a back four then Shaw will probably get the nod.
Stoke 1:1 Man Utd
How was he today?
He looked a bit rusty to me.
Hope he didnt get a new injury, heard sthing about that.
It didn't seem like it but you never know. Overall he clearly showed a lack of match sharpness, which is understandable.
Nah, LVG said it was a planned substitution. He was never going to be fit enough for 90 minutes so soon
Looked rusty but still quite good in my opinion. Some good runs and always alert.
He is not a Wingback.
