How did the linesman not flag the van Persie offside? I had to wait til the highlights to see it but it was obvious and the lino's position was perfect. If that was at the KP stadium, it'd have been flagged. I'm getting fed up of officials bottling big decisions for opposition teams at a large club's ground.
@SteveHyland Yeah at first glance I also thought he was clearly off and the goal shouldn't have stood. However after watching the replay I realised that it was pretty close so that's understandable from the linesman point of view.
Blind 8.7 > Matic 8.4
Its interesting that what all the big money signings united have made , its their two less expensive signings that have impressed me the most. Di Maria was amazing in first few games but has blown hot and cold recently. Herrera can be a dominant midfielder but I've no idea why van Gaal doesn't rate him.(I've not seen a lot of so can united fans enlighted me what seems to be the problem , whenever I've watched him play he looks like a very good forward thinking player , I assume he could be a bit too forward thinking for van Gaal's liking to play in midfield?) For Falcao , I think he may never be as good as his Porto or Atletico Madrid days although his fitness looks much better than what it was a couple of months back.
Like the look of Rojo as well. Tough , aggressive and mobile CB who can play the ball out of the back. Seemed to be settling in quite nicely.
Blind is a really tidy footballer. Gets the job done and rarely puts a foot wrong. Very underrated.
@NotBiased- Yeah and has played many positions for Utd already this season. I think he'd be ideal for sitting next to a passer like Herrera with Mata in the 10.
@SteveHyland I agree. However a midfield with Herrera , Mata and Blind would be a bit too light weight playing against more physical sides. I would through Fellaini in for one of Mata or Herrera to balance things up.
@NotBiased *throw
A win is a win and we should be happy abt it.
yes Man Utd 2-0
MANCHESTER 2-0 LEICESTER Scoring chance Angel di maria and rooney no goal before 20 min manchester to score first best of luck
1/U2.5
3-0 (Herrera, 2x Vardy OG) I need this.
@jcg good one :D
2 - 0 win for Manchester United!
1-2
2-1
4-1 ( leicester score first)
Like to see 4-4-2 with Rojo partnering Jones, flanked by Valencia and Shaw; Carrick and Mata at the base and tip of a diamond with Rooney and Herrera and Wilon alongside Falcao. Concerned about Di Maria's recent lack of bottle. Need a convincing victory after recent dull performances lacking in penetration, tempo and flair.
0-1
I think Utd will win but can't see them keeping a clean sheet. I saw 3-1, MotM Mata.
@SteveHyland Not bad, except the Mata part
@arny.diaz.7- Cheers, I would've thought after a few games of DiMaria playing in the 10 and being poor, Mata would've started but obviously not.
