Keane did stupid things when it was necessary.

what Roo did today is not necessary.

anyways, even if he's not captain material, I want him to be el capitan as a recognition for his work in this club since he was 18 years old (although he wanted to be transfered...twice!)

yeah when necessary, but some are unnecessary, like the one where he tackled the Man City guy till he had to end his footballing career

anyways, I suspect LVG made him captain so that Rooney will think he's still has a role in this club

in short, LVG wants Rooney to be loved and be the centre of attention

Rooney relies on 'fear' and emotion to approach players, like what he did last week. Like SGSuser said, he is the only capable leader apart from other inconsistent players like Evans, Fletcher etc.

We no longer have players like Keano or Vida to lead by example. Only time will tell if Rooney is a deserving captain for us.

Roy keane?

I think this set of fans should get their heads check out

Ronaldo will come when he wants to come

And I like the team as it is....

Really bad timing for rooney, of course players does mistakes at times but i didnt expect that coming from rooney especially after how he seems to have matured over the years.

Concern will be on the chelsea game, i still havent seen much of falcaos killer instincts.

A win which didnt felt like one. Glad to have three points in the bag though

ADM - was a bit off
Blind - unlike previous matches his passes were rather awful, unnecessarily gave danger to the defense with his back passes, could've been easily a 2-2 at first half.
McNair - confident going forward at first half, maybe at the break he got told not to do that in second half, overall good.
Herrera - Scholesy who can tackle and intercept, couldn't describe any better, the most worrying thing at today's match was to see he's injured.
Rojo - quality player, gotta be a confirmed regular CB, he doesn't carry forward his awful disciplinary record at Sporting (at least so far)
Shaw - decent start, tend to stay deep which is good, not to open much void at back considering Rafael actively going forward to balance, forming 3-4-1-2 when United attacks.
Falcao - like in previous match, he might have been surprised he's at the role of provider instead of the one who scores, decent.

Glad to see that Mata is going to play for the next 3 matches.

I don't know why, although we've won, but I'm not that happy. I'm more concern about the team.

LvG post match reaction

He is very pleased with McNair

Exactly. Another unconvincing performance by the team.
It is alarming how they can dominate the first half and totally fall apart after the hour mark. This has already happened twice in two consecutive games, and this time at home.
And what Rooney did was utter stupidity. What is there to be frustrated about when you are leading 2-1 with no real threat from the opposition...

Haha loved the look on his face when the interviewer mentioned on the header

Still, seeing the team busting their gut while playing with 10-men should shore up solidarity and team spirit in the club.

well next match if formation the same mata surely must start to replace looney

At least we can score..unlike last season..hardly find the net..but seriously need to improve on defensive..

Excellent dummy by Welbeck

lol

now Arsenal fans going to gloat it as an 'assist' from Welbz

Full first team debut for 19 yo McNair, competitive game debut for 19yo Shaw, makeshift defense with Rojo's first game as CB in EPL for United.

Give them a break. Even the neighbour's 30++ million CB struggled in tonight's game.

I would rather the team plays like that compared to last season's booooriiinggg plays. Always room for improvement in this young-ish United team.

Wey,jiran kite seri..
