Great that we nicked a 90 min goal. Good work from Rooney though he did miss quite a few opportunities and what I felt didn't play up to mark for most of game. He really needs to pick up or else will be plucked out.

What I am seeing is that Mou is starting to establish his core first XI for the PL games. Given he will make some changes given injuries to come, we should expect the team to be thus. He will probably use Rash and Micky to sub where he sees the need and that is a given as it depends on who we are playing. Even for players like Wig and Mata, they will be changed pending opponents if speed is required.
I feel it is important to nail down the key basic first XI then make incremental changes where needed. Certainly looks like it to me whatMou is doing. Obviously if he needs to he will add on or sell off players in Jan. Other than that he seems satisfied with the current crop as he also has good options on the bench.
Comes Europa and cup games the younger team will be given plenty of opportunities but at least Mou has sealed and nailed down the key PL team.
I am happy with this and and sure Mou will not hesitate to sub senior players if needed. This we don't have to worry as Mou has an ego bigger than any players so don't think they dare to test or challenge him.
Ince the first team start getting the teamwork and understanding, I am sure we will improve further. Hope this makes sense to all. Love to hear your views Eds or other fellow fans. Sorry long post.

I don't think Rashford or Tyre Iron will be subs for long.

I wasn't saying Rash and Micky will always be subs. Mou will change as and when needed I feel. If he so put them in first team even better. My point is that it's now a few games and Mou is beginning to find his key specialists. But at least he has his preferred team with various options ready.

Red666,

I have to disagree with a lot of that, Jose has said himself he will pick an 11 that suits each game, we do not have a first 11, that's the beauty of having a big squad. Some games Mata will be the better option other games it will be milk or rashford, martial and Rooney will drop out as will Zlatan in some games, we have so many options up top and that isn't even including Memphis or lingard who will get game time also. It is so exciting.

I have a bit of a pet hate, can we just call him Fellaini? The guy has been brilliant so far this season, he's shutting a lot of people up and proving many wrong, yet people insist on calling him wig or bog brush, does my head in.

Rooney missed quite a few opportunities? I must have missed them myself, first half he wasn't great like a lot of the other players but 2nd half when the team grew into the game so did Rooney. The celebrations at the end with every player looking so happy and celebrating with the fans was fantastic.

Also props to Fellaini as well for helping that fan who hurt themselves.

I put Wif not meant any offense just long to type.
As I said I feel Mou has the idea of his team and it depends on the team we are playing each time. It could even be a time where Zlat may be benched depending. Whoever is up to it and performs during training will play. But there is no real guarantee who plays all the time.
As to Roo I said he missed a few opportunities during the entire game but does not meant he is useless. I think perhaps yes you have missed that. That said I concur he helped put the ball into the net. I have said specifically he did well there. As you said when the team grew so did he. But as the captain he should be leading and luckily for him he provided the assist else I am sure he will be under tremendous pressure.
Just fyi I am not anti Roo since I have a jersey personally autographed by him even during the days of Ronaldo. I like him plenty for what he has done and still doing charitable work but understandably he is slowing down.
Celebrations of course will happen whoever provides the assist or scores. We are all die hard Man Utd fans so all will celebrate.

I think Rashfod should be playing and if Micky settles in then so should he. That means 2 of Mata, Martial, Rooney, or Ibra drop out. I suspect Mata will lose out but it will be interesting to see if Rash and Micky can put pressure on the others.

I totally agree AJH and precisely my point. There will be competition and the best team should be playing in the PL games. It is definitely exciting to watch the younger talents with pace playing attack But again sometimes it might depend on who we are playing against and perhaps might call for experience. For that I trust Mou to put our best team forward.

28 Aug 2016 20:56:40
So we need a best 11 to play in each game? I don't understand your point and what else we would do? Obviously we will pick the best team for each game. Your original post said we need a best first 11 now you are changing that, I'm a bit confused, I wasn't arguing in my post was just saying I disagreed, but now it seems that you do agree.
