1-0 Mata

How the hell can any defender fall for what Valencia does? He only has one move and does it every single time.

Totally against the run of play.

Mata goal

Does anyone know exactly where Rojo/Shaw fit into this new United side? Why the hell are United stacking quality left backs when they are running a classic formation that uses three CB's. It literally makes no sense considering neither Shaw/Rojo have the qualities of a true wingback.

Refs trying their hardest to give this game to United...

It's so disgusting to see Spuds at the top though.

GET IN THERE RODWELL!

Can you actually believe this is a team with a net spend of £160 million in the last few windows?

Rojo will play left center back

Shaw will play as left midfielder/left back

Manutd have had 2 shots in the firsthalf, and one was the Mata goal. I don't understand how their defense seems to be a bigger problem than their slow attack.

Infact, I think they have the slowest attack in the league. A centerback will only help them knick 1-0 wins but this team needs a dimaria and a strootman more than a defender imo

[Rubber bullets 1,183]

Man Utd's defense would barely suffice in League One, let alone the Premiership.

Blackett, Jones and Keane as defenders.. are you fucking kidding me?

[kellzfresh 7,229]

Imagine if it was a faster person on that counter, but it's rooney, easy to catch lol

Poor Mata has been bullied by Cattermole.

[ulvhedin 508]

If i were Di Maria I would pray really hard for Chelsea, Arsenal, Pool or City to make late offer instead of going to hopeless ManUtd team

[kellzfresh 7,229]

Poor Mata has been bullied by Cattermole.

Their whole attack is too slow and can't beat one marker.

3 shots in 60mins so far

How Ferguson won the league with similar team is beyond me. I didn't watch much of them in 12-13 season, but squads were awfully similar.
