Man Utd v Zorya Luhansk - 29/09/16 20:05

I don't know about that Dave, I feel like TFM would be better on the right side and would also bring a lot of pace down the wing, although he was less than impressive in the last game. I think I'd rather go for Rojo there - it should be a perfect opportunity for him to build match fitness.. so we can sell him later :lol:

Other than that I'm fine with the line up, IF we actually have to rotate players. But it's Zorya Luhansk so if we can win this line up we're in trouble

Ibra starts? That's weird, some paper said this morning he got a vacation...

Charlie predicts: 5-0 and Martial to score first
It was an impressive victory over Leicester at the weekend and I can't see anything other than another convincing win, so what I quite fancy is five plus goals

BBC
Facing Manchester United at Old Trafford in the Europa League on Thursday will be "frightening", says Zorya Luhansk manager Yuriy Vernydub.
The side finished fourth in the Ukrainian league last season and are making their debut in the group stages.
"There's no need to be evasive. We understand that Manchester United are a world class brand," said Vernydub.

Mou on Roo -
With the situation you [the media] create for him, he really can't afford to have a performance that is not really good. I am here to protect him and not put him in difficult situations."


Hope Charlie Nicholas is right about a goal fest - wouldn't do us any harm
I think Mou has made the right call on Roo - It's not right to select him with a physical problem however slight especially with everyone including our own fans waiting in anticipation of him failing badly

Hopefully we will coast through this and not pick up any injuries in the process.

 

Painful it was ....... 3 points it is ........ 2 wins on the trot ..... But how hard was that ?

Jesse didn't confirm
Fellaini slows us down Can't see him and Mata in the same starting 11
Zlatan scored but not much else ...... did well from a knee'ed assist from einstein Rooney
Marcus should have scored but he was still a bright light in a disappointing night for us
Romero did what was needed when needed ...... but he was not really tested

Let's face it they were hardly a threat and yet we made a tough job of it .....lack of pace and movement and no imagination in our game

Home fans left with little to celibrate but at least take a win home

We should have done way better but it was a quiet night for most ...... especially for the poor buggers watching, us included

Stoke next up ...... thankfully at home ..... Onwards and upwards .... but little comfort to take from our performance tonight

Just happy to take the win.

Thought we were alright first half, especially the last 20 minutes we should have gone in ahead really. It was better than Feyernoord or the previous seasons, there was variation in our play rather than constant crosses etc. but still we found it hard to break through. Second half I thought we'd pickup where we left off but we didn't and started so sloppily... got the goal in the end and then controlled the match but as Rach said we don't half make hard work of it.

I don't know what it is with us and Europe, we have to take it seriously otherwise if/when we get back in with the big boys next year and perform like we have been for the past 3 years we won't last long. Needs vast improvement if we want to go far in these competitions.

I think I'm in the minority when I say I think we're a lot better than last season. Yes it's slow but our movement up front has improved a lot. Think it's only a matter of time before we click.
What's clear to me is Fellaini can't keep partnering Pogba. He just isn't an intelligent enough footballer. Last night Zoyra should of been there for the taking but our play was laboured and that's down to our CM. Can't for the life of me think why he starts ahead of Carrick or Schneiderlin (who looks like his days are numbered which for me is a waste of talent)
Hopefully we'll see Carrick, Herrera and Pogba against Stoke because if I see Rooney and Fellaini starting I'll be taking the knife out of Van Gones back and betting it sharpened.
