Well put BNaMM. The last couple of weeks have been better. It took Mourinho to be backed into a corner though and going along with what the "Einsteins" were saying for it to come about. Also - Mkhitaryan's performance last night raises more questions about the manager and his erratic behaviour and selections. And again blatant refereeing decisions going against the team which I put down to the manager. Didn't cost last night but a clear red card waved away.

The importance of Carrick to this team is unbelievable and very worrying. Doubt he'll play at the weekend after playing the last two so would worry about the balance of the midfield without him.

Who knows. Word is Mkhitaryan can be slow at building up confidence. A string of early poor performances might have broken him. And then the usual baying pack of Pavlov's dogs who try and brand every signing a failure in as short a space of time as possible.
It might have been for his own good to keep him off the park for a while. Coiled spring and all that.

Good result and performance last night. Rooney has his best game in about 3 years which was good to see whilst Mkhitaryan showed glimpses of the player I was expecting. Lets hope this is the start of it as I was expecting him to make a huge impact like De Bruyne did. Martial didn't even make the bench last night, hope he can sort out his personal problems as he's been a shadow of the player from last season.

Herrera will partner Pogba on Sunday with Carrick back on the bench I'd imagine; Zlatan & Mata will certainly start and but not sure which other two will start.

Apparently hes a very shy character and almost broke down after being subbed against city. Has the ability, needs the mental confidence. I think Mourinho is actually handling him very well.

If that is the case it's hardly "handling him very well" to drop him into that game for his debut and haul him off after 45 minutes.

4th home draw in a row for Man United in another game they should have won well however Randolph was outstanding for West Ham. Mourinho sent off again frustrated that the luck he had with Porto,Chelsea,Inter has now left him.

United under Fergie ground out results for decades, United under the three managers since look scared under pressure and cannot close out tight games.

Rojo was excellent tonight, especially in the second half.

Rooney did really well when he came on, Fellaini was a dose, pure ket!

Finally, Mykataryan or however you spell his name was lively and needs more time, Pogba needs an edge like Keane had, he is a class act but lacks the ability to say f**k this and make it happen, gave away some poor possession at the business end of things.
Armagh, the one true love of a mans life.

Aye right enough the lad that came on in the 85th minute was the reason the game wasn't won  ;D

Terrible performance... Utd missing that poacher in the box type player to finish off the half chances

Never seen the game and certainly no fan of his but Fellaini came on as a sub with 5 minutes to go and you're making him a scapegoat, that's ridiculous. Far too many draws and top 4 is looking further away.
