We drew with Swansea last year so 3 points today is very welcome.

More positives than negatives. RVP was sensational.

Loved Evra bit of skill by corner flag.

Thought it was good solid performance. Welbeck was cause for Swansea goal.

But its 3 points and was solid display.

Just other slight negative is some of our passing was little slopppy, but hopefully that will improve for next week

I'd go along with this although Cleverly looked out of his depth at most a mid table premier league team and I thought Jones was very poor today. Jumping into everything like a lunatic and then his decision making when he had the ball was awful

Super Danny Welbeck. A big **** you to all his doubters.

Well done lad

Lets all not cream ourselves about Danny Welbeck because he scored 2 goals today.

Like Moyes said I prefer his first goal because thats the position he needs to be getting into more often

He's constantly improving and that's the main thing, I'm delighted for Danny, he gets a lot of criticism.

The state of Cleverly today and the fact we played Giggs might frighten Moyes into buying a player in the next few days

I'm actually so disappointed by Cleverly. I'm a fan of him but he's just not progressing at all and seems out of his depth more and more in games.

Phil doing some extra work with Anderson:

Dream stuff for Moyes on debut. A nightmare now for Anderson. In an empty Liberty, Phil Neville is making him do 50 yard shuttle runs.

"All the way!" shouts Phil. Anderson's face is a rictus.

Good to see that. In my opinion, it's shape up or get out time now. He clearly is a good player, but his fitness has been poor, yes there's been injury issues, but fitness still not there.

Great to see Rooney acting like a spoilt brat. Hope he does it all season, so long as he keeps supplying assists! Keep up the good work WA WA Wayne!

There was a lad who posted a list as long as my arm of potential midfield players we could buy. I don't watch as much ball as that lad but there was about 10 players who could easily play in our first 11

We may not get our number 1 targets but we should still be buying players who are easily available and better than our current midfield players.

Caught the second half of the match today, and saw the highlights of the first half goals. Great start to the season in my opinion. Yes we didn't hold on to the ball very well at times but in attack we were top class and deserved the four goals. Thought Wellbeck and RVP were very good today. Wellbeck was especially good in possession. I'll forgive him his part in the Swansea goal this time because I admire him not wanting to boot it up the field. However in this case that was the wrong decision, but his finish for the fourth goal made up for it!

Glad to see Rooney getting a run out. Even when seemingly half-interested he still had a part in two of the goals and showed how good a player he is. We'll miss him if he goes and definitely can't sell him to a rival.

As for the other players I thought it was a professional performance by most of them, nothing fantastic but nothing terrible. All in all a great first game against a good team who have already played some competitive football. I can't wait for them to hit their stride. A new midfielder would be nice too.

Taking away the assist he was just as bad as last season really, you wouldnt even know he has blistering pace if you watched him for the first time today. You'd think he's playing with the mindset of a right back because he almost always plays it safe and doesn't take enough risks.

The sooner Nani is back the better, it'll maybe wake him up if he's sitting on the bench for a few games, competition will do him some good.

Our pressing isn't great.The forward players pressed on a few occassions but the midfield and
defence didn't push up so Swansea got out easy.This needs to be worked on.

Vidic and de Gea still have some communication issues to sort out it seems

Just seen this. quality
