Recently I can't stand the way Carrick play. He too negative on attacking and tracking back for defensive really poor.
Moyes should try Kagawa and put him as CM and Jones or Fletcher as DM
While Mata should be as AMF he is not fast enough to be winger.Set the game around Mata as his passing is masterpiece

still better than lying in midtable position....

Yup..hope he back also..or maybe quieroz?

wazza quality wasnt on goals scored only...his workrate passion desire to work for his team n mate above anybody else belong in the worldclass status...he sacrifice for others to shine n for the team more than anyone ever seen at world stage...tho at times he try to be selfish a lil bit for his career bcos of the contract row ,signing worldclass player such as ozil during saf tenure, play time in ucl game vs real...transfer saga etc...it wud be understandable...on the field he give it all...he put body on the line...he is a football soul to me...there is no me in rooney...its us...we...the team...

Agree much. Rooney is that type of player that suits the United's "Never Say Die" spirit. He hates losing, more than anybody else. Even though his off-the-field antics are questionable especially the transfer request, but you couldn't doubt his commitment on the pitch when wearing a United shirt. He just gave it all, even during this down period when other players just sort of "gave up" the fighting spirit. If Rooney leaves in the summer, whoever is in charge will take even longer time to rebuild this team because he will need to find another core of the team. 

Not too TLDR...but still TLDR...so TFLDFR...

In 2003-04, United finished a hefty 15 points behind the unbeaten champions Arsenal. Whilst that Arsene Wenger vintage was certainly one of the greatest teams this country has seen, United’s challenge was unimpressive and certainly below par for the team who had topped the table in the previous season.

The big change at United the summer before had been the departure of David Beckham to Real Madrid. However, it was not only the England captain who departed to the Spanish capital: Ferguson's second-in-command, Carlos Queiroz, was tempted away as manager. The lure of coaching Ronaldo, Figo and Zinedine Zidane was an unmissable opportunity for the man who had been tasked with reshaping United’s tactical approach in Europe.

In 2004-05, Jose Mourinho arrived at Chelsea with Roman Abramovich’s cheque book in hand and set about breaking records in the English top flight. Carlos Queiroz also returned to Manchester and set about rebuilding the team with Ferguson.

Progress was not immediate: United finished third for the second season in succession. It was the club's worst spell for more than a decade and the fans were bemoaning the tactics in the stands. Sound familiar at all?

As the 2005-06 season came to a close, United had shown signs of improvement. They finished as runners-up, only eight points behind an imperious Chelsea, and Queiroz’s work with Cristiano Ronaldo was beginning to bear fruit.

United won the next three titles and capped it all by winning the Champions League again in 2008. By taking the time to rebuild, and having the humility to bring back an old coach, Ferguson found the winning formula again.

Yeah 300k per week is astronomical figure, and this might unbalance the team in terms of wage structure and stuff. Sad to say that United has no choice over this. He is the best player of this season for us, carry the whole team forward despite all those losses. Without him I think we should be at the bottom half table. Then he remains the most marketable player for United, also the biggest name to attract big players to join us in the future. In a (dark) time like this, his new contract could prove vital for the new season ahead. He is 28, his prime time, and this should be the last time he can ask for these figures (same as Ronaldo did last season with Real). Well, if he continues to perform like he does this season, then I see no reason why not tie him to another 5 years. Moyes can spend £27m on Fellaini so why not extend Rooney's contract? It might turn out to be the best thing Moyes ever did in his time at Old Trafford.

Actually if you look at the video clip, Carrick had 3 mates in front of him who were being marked by 4-5 Arsenal players, so it's logical he passed it to Cleverley because he was facing sideway. Then Cleverley actually had a lot space to maneuver (pass to wide right) but chose to back pass again. To me, Cleverley was the most negative minded midfielder we have. He just doesn't hold on to the ball and bring forward play.

Ando-Cleverly combo,sadly, it only lasted on short period of time.

How I wish to watch Man Utd play a beautiful game like that. However, Man Utd is not like that. we play ugly and yet we win.
