Really poor result. We should win the replay, but it's annoying to have to play an extra fixture for a game we really should be winning.

Regardless of the system the players need to take responsibility for this, no leaders out there at all.

Before anyone brings up the draw Ferguson had against Exeter City everyone check the lineup United played that day and compare it to the one United played tonight.

Europa.
fecking pathetic. Not having the balls to play attacking football against Cambridge united.

I'm happy that Cambridge can get their pay off from Old Trafford, good for them. LVG has a lot to answer for though. Three times he has played League two teams, all three times he has been awful.

Last two times we played Cambridge away under SAF we played a full strength team and drew both games.

But but they played 4-4-2? We've been told we'd win every game 5-0 if we wouid just play 442?

An unwanted distraction, but should win the replay handily.

The greatest team in history
They play like they're scared to express themselves. Like they've been told keep possession over beating a man 10 times out of 10.

Either that or we've bought a load of shit.

Either way the shit is shit.

At least we've not got a crammed fixture list. If we had CL football this would have been a real pain in the arse. As it stands the extra game might actually do us some good.

Edit: Shite for the season ticket holders though, with the scandalous auto cup scheme.

Sideways passing. Like crabs. Much like our performance. Albeit that refers more to the aggressive sexually transmitted disease.

Why are we crossing it so much? That too pathetic aimless crosses. Are we being managed by Moyes again? Also, Valencia is done. Should be sold asap this summer. Cannot beat a player from Cambridge United. Should be embarrassed to call himself a winger anymore.

The worrying thing is 0-0 was probably what most knowledgable Man Utd fans would have predicted against Cambridge Utd !!

He's not the man for the job.

Don't worry we won the possession.

The only consolation is that this is one season where replays won't hurt us.

We were poor, Cambridge performed their job admirably. The result was fair.

Terrible. There's something hugely wrong with this team.

Pathetic. For all that possession we crested next to nothing. Players scared to take risks, rather make a sideways pass just to keep possession.

Herrera was good when he came on. Bet he doesn't start next week though.

Falcao and Van Persie are both wage thieves. Get rid of both.

Herrera showed in his cameo that he deserves to play more.
