Non surprising boring first half of football.

At least Martial is up top.

Curse of the GAA Board commentator.

I know. And boy how he has been missed. Playing with no striker (Rooney standing up there nominally) as Rashford is not even on the bench. I understand resting players but fail to win here and you're done. Should have had him on the bench at least. Rubbish so far.

The first half of the game has confirmed to me that LVG needs to go. It's not that he hasn't brought the results, but that the style of play is simply awful, and it doesn't look like he's developing a team. With the exception of Martial, almost all the imports have been ruined by him - Di Maria, Falcao (arguably finished anyway), Depay and Darmian were all well thought of before coming to Utd. And the young players that have excelled have done so through necessity - the likes of Pereira, Wilson and Januzaj can't get into the team or are away on loan when they should be playing with United and forming a side for the future.

60 mins played. Putrid stuff from United.

How bad is Rooney? Incredible. Not worth a place in the England squad.

Roll of the dice here. Januzaj. Can't be worse than Rooney or Memphis.

magpie seanie

Yes! Rooney nearly fucked it up but eventually slipped it to Mata who finished well. Mistake to let Rooney in but United badly needed that. Well done Mata.

Januzaj told to sit down!

Tactics from United seem to be bore the opposition to sleep and then strike...

Poor game, both teams awful.... In fairness to Rooney he's been well dealt with by the Norwich defender.... Loads of possession but nothing up front, its been end of season game that will be forgotten about very quickly....Utd cant afford to lose anymore players through injury
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

Ah Seanie. Give credit when it is due. Rooney did really well to not take the shot and lay it on for Mata. Great awareness.

Thought it was excellent play by Rooney to set up that winning goal.

Good to see the Rooney bashing reaching new heights today :-)
