Mata pulling the strings here. Looking very good.
Liking that Van Gaal has him in the pocket behind the strikers rather than upfront.

Mata is actually bloody good. If he hits the heights here like he did at Chelsea it will be amazing because he is World Class. Even last year despite not impacting on our league position he still was one of the better players in the 2nd half of the season. Scored some lovely goals.
Rooney, Welbeck, Mata and Herrera have all linked up very nicely so far. Lovely stuff.
Welbeck with the first gol in the LVG era!! Get in!!
So shooting practice has paid off then.
Sweet strike! I love those low long shots that end up in the back of the net!
oof Tony
That Herrera turn!
Valencia doing his best fellaini
YES Danny, get in.
The Chevy Stream, is that a hybrid? Got many miles on it?
Is Valencia unfixable?
Everything running on Mata, looks like everything goes through him under LVG's system. 
Rafael would be 10 times better on that right side instead of Valencia.

Oh feck you Chervolet, missed the goal.
Lovely strike
Damn, my stream's stuck Groundhog Daying the 10th minute...
Chevy stream is fecking shite. Missed the goal.
How we've missed a good midfielder
FFS Paddy makes the idiots who did the World Cup for ITV look good.
This wont suit Smalling, he plays just like a RB
Someone has to GIF that Herrera turn and pass.
Dunno whether it's just cos I've just been starved of quality techinical play from United though

Unfortunately manufacturing warranty runs out after 2 years, so we cant get a free replacement
Typical, stream drops out for five minutes. Get it working again and find out we scored
Herrera always wants the ball. Always.
That Welbeck goal was exactly like the way they were training yesterday 
Thank God Danny didn't do his usual flapping celebration.
LvG really needs to help Smalling improve his passing. Fecking terrible choices/execution.
I can't get used to seeing this formation. I have never seen us play anything like it in my life.
Great goal by Welbeck though. Best player first 15 minutes.

Is it too early in the season to get on Rooney?
Herrera alone has made our passing so much better.
Has Rooney touched the ball yet?
Is welbeck bulking up a bit Chevvy hybrid of Yorke and Cole hopefully!
Chevvy hybrid of Yorke and Cole hopefully!So many options for the ball holder when we have possession
Our CBs aren't comfortable at all in this system. van Gaal has got his work cut out on the training pitch with those three.
He's big, he's fast, he just shot past you a$$, Danny Welbeck, Danny Welbeck
(to the tune of the SNL HS cheerleader duo)

At least with the camera angle we can constantly see our shape. Can easily see it's a 352... not the dot to dot colour book we had with Moyes
Chris Smalling putting it on Robbie Keane early and often in the first preseason game is hilarious. Keep it Chris, take no prisoners!
Loving the pressing so far.
Fking chev stream made me miss the goal. Wankers.
The tempo is fantastic so far.
