Manchester United, that didn't last long. Seven up

Your new lad has an old head on young shoulders when in front of goal, cool as a cucumber.

Doesn't he just.

Early days yet, but other than his natural ability in front of goal - he's a born goal-scorer - it's his temperament which impresses me. No play-acting (so far) & a good, level head. Worth a lot of the fee, that, especially in such a young lad.

FWIW, I watched that game today only because I wanted to watch him again. Going back to the SAF days, I watched every Man U (televised) game, but since then, when things became, if I may say so, a tad mediocre, I stopped bothering to watch.

Great atmosphere around the ground today fans happy. Not expecting to win the league but good to be in the mix at this early stage

Only saw the MOTD version so no real idea of how well we played yesterday. Beating this Sunderland team 3-0 seems like a par score, the next two games should give us a clearer picture.

A win on Wednesday is crucial, not losing on Sunday equally so.
Playing well in both matches would confirm the trend of an increasing cohesion between players and between players and LVG.

btw, Chelsea's start to the season, which they came into as Champions, appears very similar to the start that we had under Moyes, interesting to see how that develops.

Agree that upcoming games will be interesting for United. Certainly on paper the league games look tough and could be very revealing:

Arsenal A
Everton A
City H
Palace A

Just checked back and Moyes had a better start in 1st 7 games than Mourhino. Chelsea now got 3 home games out of the next 4 and somehow you would expect they will start to build the pressure. Hope not obviously

[BorntoBubble]

 Yeah big few games to see how we are getting on.

Sunderland were awful yesterday and bar the two minutes around half time could have made it a lot more nervy for United.

Martial is a real bums of seat type of player, I would start young over delay for the time being.

Smalling is just getting better and better.

Him and DDG this year could give us a real fighting chance by ensuring we concede very few goals.

[david3103]

How good was Smalling last night?

[BorntoBubble]

How good was Smalling last night?

Incredible.

Chatting to fans about him nobody would have thought he would be this good when asked two years ago.

After DDG he is our best player at the moment and them two are some way ahead of the rest.

Basti has been incredible as well completely controls a game with or without the ball it's like he's playing Fifa.


I hate to say it but the ref really killed the game last night, it had an incredible pace to the first half and then he decided to go all European and give the slightest bit of contact as a foul.

Then the bookings of Basti and Morgan really made us struggle in midfield.

Playing Sweinsteiger and Carrick over Scheniderlin (sp) going to cost LVG in these big games.

[George2Loose]

Couple more games and it'll be LVG out. Manager merry go round.

Prem could be as close Championship usually is

Hopefully it will be.

Definitely makes it much better viewing.

[Karabiner]

I think it's fair to say that we ripped you a new one today.
