It's great to see, I just hope it isn't a clique forming within the squad. You can see from each of the goals and off the pitch also how highly the Hispanic players also appreciate and admire Rooney, so hopefully it becomes a close-knit, bonding squad opposed to just four or five players.
The Rojo/Herrera/Di Maria/Mata bromance

I think he'll take looking less attractive when he has the ability to put in performances like that.Poor Di Maria, being in close proximity to those 3 highlighted his misfortunes even more
Long May it last, as long as they all mingle with the other players (non Hispanic) then it's all good and I really hope Juan Mata has a future here because yesterday when he went off showed what he brings to the team in terms of balance and link up play.
Did anyone see Falcao celebrate when Mata scored?

Absolutely. His behaviour was impeccable in the saga last year too. Waiting for him to break into that Spain midfield now!
I thought that was hilarious, he just combined warming up with celebrating.Long May it last, as long as they all mingle with the other players (non Hispanic) then it's all good and I really hope Juan Mata has a future here because yesterday when he went off showed what he brings to the team in terms of balance and link up play.

They're intimidate by Blind's hair. Needed some reassurance from each other.
I really like Herrera as a player and I was delighted when we bought him. But seeing him looking so pleased to be out there playing and his reaction to the goals, I keep getting this image of a big Labrador puppy rushing up to celebrate. It's ridiculously cute

We seem to have a good proper spirit around in the squad now.. hopefully this group will be as tight knight as our previous teams! Certainly looks good.

Thats an awesome comparisonReally glad we bought him, brings such an awesome attitude to the table. Was reading Mitten's article on him the other day, and really enjoyed this bit:
What divide in Madrid? They were divided last season with Coentrao, Ronaldo and Pepe playing alongside those Spaniards? I only ever saw rumors from the media, mainly Marca, and those guys love a good soap so I don't find them very reliable. One or two unhappy players does not equal to a divide between two cliques.
I don't expect anything like this from our current bunch of player. SAF always had things under control and only signed players if they had the right temperament. Only wildcard I could foresee from the new bunch is Rojo but that's only because I know nothing about him compared to the others.
The more I think about it, and watch the new lads all bonding a forming a new hierarchy as LVG keeps saying, the more I feel that it was the right decision to let go so many players. Especially the more senior ones. The squad had become stale and desperately needed freshening up with new blood and players ready to fight for the club again. The fact there is such a Latino vibe going on is just even better as it should mean a even closer knit squad. There certainly seems to be a togetherness that we haven't seen for a few years.

Your tribute to Jaws? He just died a few days ago right?
Regarding these players potentially getting cliquey, the great thing is that Herrera, Mata and Falcao already speak good English. As does Blind. So that's three of our new signings that can instantly get on and communicate with the rest of the players easily.
Oh...
Sad newsNor is crossing, beating his man, general football play...
Smiling is not a natural thing for Tony
Seeing Mata, Rooney, Di Maria, Van Persie, Herrera all celebrating together was awesome to see.Favorite moment of the match
Amazing that they all play for United.
There's a Latino/Dutch thing going on at our club. Proper modern and cool we are. We still have plenty of British players in Shaw, Evans, Smalling, Jones, Young, Blackett and Rooney.
Carrick? Fletcher? Amos? Wilson? Lindgard? James? Keane?
There was a story in the Daily Mail that Blind, Van Persie and Falcao got dinner together with Danny Blind, Kluivert and their wives after the game.
Just to add to the whole team chemistry thing, did I completely imagine it, or did all the lads get together before kick off and do a bit of a huddle, with high fives and all that malarkey? If so, I don't remember us ever doing that before.
Possibly something Rooney has implemented? He certainly seems more vocal and pally with his team mates then I've ever seen him before.

I noticed in the dugout before the game that Rooney was working his way down the line talking to the new guys Herrera, Rojo etc. Di Maria excluded, he obviously didn't require any help. Good to see from Rooney though, seems to be really taking his role as captain seriously.
We need more Latin songs like Falcao's.
They just don't have the same ring when an English person attempts it in a latin accent.
The Falcao song sounds excellent.
I think they should replace the lo lo lo with ra ra ra, then it'll sound more English.
good combination that.
Look like the whole squad might have been there, told you this lot were bonding well..
posted this already in the United squad photo thread. Young Adnan was also there. I assume Falcao and RvP werent there.
He wrote 'Eating with my Spanish friends' Seriously loving this
Loving this new team vibe. I agree with those saying that the clear out was needed. Sure, right now the team has a lot of new players that us fans don't really know, but it's great to see them bonding with each other and hopefully it will translate onto the pitch soon.
Last Sunday says 'hi'!
Who would have thought... brazilian smiling next to an Argentine. World gone upside Down!
And may there be many more matches like that to come.
I got to give Rooney credit, he looks fitter than I've ever seen him.
Agreed. His face face tells the most.. Ugly yes but fat no..
