It's more that the over hype of Van Gaal has been massive. It's hard not to enjoy it a bit. Especially when for the last 10minutes kicking to Fellaini and hopeless crosses seemed to be the tactic.

And that most Non-ManUtd fans feel that Moyes was scapegoated too much.

Eh? Moyes had the backing of the fans up until around March time. He wouldn't have gotten that anywhere else in the world.

No different to the overreaction of people believing Utd would somehow be immediate title challengers.

That's insane.

To suggest United will be title challengers is obviously incredibly optimistic. But to suggest its over, and even top four is unlikely, after a single game is bizarre.

I don't just mean people on here, but the general reaction.

Making predictions either way at this point is stupid really. People will change their minds a thousand times before Christmas.

Glad Blackett will probably get a start.

Reckon it will be De Gea, Jones, Smalling, Blackett, Young, James, Fletcher, Herrera, Mata, Rooney, Hernandez.

Baffled why people keep giving them attention.

Ignore them and stop pandering to them and they'll go away eventually - there's not enough people in the world that are as thick as shit as they are.

An ex-member of the Church did an ama on Reddit recently, and he was saying that even ignoring them wouldn't put them off. They genuinely believe what they're doing is the only right thing to do. They're pretty fucked up.

Benzema
Rodriguez
Bale
Ronaldo
Falcao
Di Maria
Toni Kroos
Isco

I fail to see how he may not be on the bench more times than on the pitch. Especially as they play 1 upfront alot.

Falcao won't be competing with any of them except for Benzema, but I especially don't understand how you think he'll be competing with Kroos?

So Vidal has been quoted as saying that he doesn't know if he's staying at Juve but he's not going to Manchester.

Fantastic, watch Barca sign him in days now.

Di Marzio has since put up an article where the Manchester part of the quote is absent, I guess more significantly is that these quotes came from him landing back in Italy. So one way or another this story is moving to a conclusion.

Last on Vidal for min of 12 hrs. Here's vid, he's asked about Manchester but just says 'no, no, no'. It's nothing. https://fbcdn-video-a.akamaihd.net/hvideo-ak-xpf1/v/t42.1790-2/10536189_675028055910174_2020170737_n.mp4?oh=4ddcabcbc0eae76179a711b60e07b0b2&oe=53D1739E&__gda__=1406234585_48549d9d4c90ded8e2fe38673bfb7ae4 ...
