Some people seem to have an issue with posters wanting the best for United. Personally, I am disgusted by United's transfer activity over recent years and I was disgusted with Moyes' appointment. Our aim should be to overhaul Liverpool's 5 European Cups in the first instance. When I look at Real Madrid's team, I see where I would like us to be. Finally deploying our commercial revenue on the pitch. Finally shopping at Brown Thomas rather than Tesco. Not faffing about and squandering tens of millions on spoofers like Fellaini. With the current squad, we're going nowhere. 4th's a possibility but since when is 4th an acceptable target for Manchester United? Notwithstanding his reputation, many people will be calling for Van Gaal's head if we don't get 4th. So why in God's name haven't we done any meaningful business since Shaw?

With players of the quality of Vidal and Hummels, we would be title contenders. At the moment, we haven't a hope. If something isn't done, who's to blame? Woodward? Van Gaal? The Glazers?

you cannot compare us to real madrid, they are bank rolled and have their debt regularly wiped

Cleverley with an assist on his birthday. He'll be chuffed.

Will I Amnt · 12-08-2014 08:01PM

Nice goal. Cleverley just has no luck.

Jaysus Larry you get very annoyed by Manchester United in the late evening/night time :pac:

I am very annoyed at what I see as the mismanagement of our club. When Van Gaal was appointed, my expectation for this coming season was 4th at a minimum. But, secretly, I expected us to mount a title challenge because I fully expected someone like Van Gaal to quickly see through spoofers like Cleverley and Fellaini and to sign truly world class talent. That hasn't happened, so I'm decidely disenchanted. I see us being in a dogfight for 4th which could potentially go either way and that saddens me immensely. Van Gaal could be our Jose Mourinho or our Phil Scolari...at this stage I just don't know. But I am not a happy bunny.

Cleverly just keeps on giving...

OctavarIan · 12-08-2014 08:02PM

Cleverley with a good assist for Valencia.

Shambolic defending by him in all seriousness.

LandonRicketts · 12-08-2014 08:03PM

Jesus wept Cleverley.......

KombuchaMshroom · 12-08-2014 08:06PM

I'm loving the main commentator making a show of Paddy Crerand.
"Think it came off Fletcher", "fletcher's not on the pitch paddy".
Makes some claim about something Valencia did "that was bayer leverkusen paddy".
Compliments your man on doing his homework, "well one of us has to do it".

Delighted to see actual, solid, concrete links to a player, and a player in the right age bracket as well!

Does beg the question though, if LVG feels Rojo is good enough for United why wait until now before making an approach? Thats the type of transfer work that frustrates, we spend weeks sniffing around a crock like Vermalean when (judging by his reaction to the bid) we could have picked Rojo up at any time.

Now for a midfielder, which is still by far our biggest problem area. On that issue, its interesting to see Cleverley not in the first 11 again tonight. Am I right in saying he figured only sporadically in the US tour? Hopefully LVG has seen through this guy.

Answer probably lies in how far down the list of potential signings he was a couple of weeks ago. Doubt if he's first choice tbh which is slightly worrying. How many knock backs did we get, Hummels, Vermaelen, AN Other/s?

Not exactly the signing I hoped for but lets see how he progresses.

Is Fellaini wearing a wig? I thought he shaved his head recently?

FutureGuy · 12-08-2014 08:09PM

I fcuking hate the disrespect shown to Fellaini by the "fans"

Hank Scorpio · 12-08-2014 08:09PM

Great ball from Adnan, brilliant to have a rough diamond like him in the squad

Jaysus Rooney, need to get your shooting boots on for the season.

J. Marston · 12-08-2014 08:10PM

Fellaini may not be good enough for United but it's absolutely pathetic to treat him like that.

Yes. He's wearing a wig.

I feel awful sorry for him. That must be confidence destroying.
Coming back from a world cup to that.

Ah OK, thought I'd gone completely lampy there for a minute.

NoviGlitzko · 12-08-2014 08:12PM

Adnan looks so good for us.

KombuchaMshroom · 12-08-2014 08:12PM

No need for the ironic cheers from the United fans every time Fellaini does something good.
He's a United player ffs, get behind the man.
Pure muppetry from "fans" who probably can't even form their own opinions, just based from what they see on social media

b757 · 12-08-2014 08:13PM

What the f*** is Cleverley standing over the ball on a free kick? The lad can barely cross the ball with height from a corner.

Drives me fcuking mad. But he's answered it well. Hasn't put a foot wrong. Crisp and clean passing. Intelligent use of the ball.

Hank Scorpio · 12-08-2014 08:15PM

Are the fans jeering Fellaini? I ain't his biggest fan at all but this is bang out of order. Really surprised

keane2097 · 12-08-2014 08:15PM

Embarrassing from the crowd at Old Trafford, I sincerely hope it's just fifty troglodytes near a microphone.

Edit: He is playing quite well, unsurprisingly

They're cheering, not jeering... Don't know why tho?

MagicMarker · 12-08-2014 08:16PM

Fellaini has been very good seeing as it's his first game back.

Will I Amnt · 12-08-2014 08:16PM

That's f*cking pathetic from the fans. Absolutely disgraceful.
