Leyqute:


They're going to sit back and try to hit us on the counter. Mental sharpness is of utmost importance today. If we get the first goal, they'll come out in search of an equalizer, leaving spaces behind for us to score more goals.

Exactly..

Would ve preferred Greenwood playing the wings over Mata but at least he dropped that foolish Lingard.

Oasis007:
Manchester United defender Chris Smalling is close to joining Roma on a season-long loan for a €3m (£2.7m) fee, according to Sky in Italy.

Smalling has been more useful to the club than Jones.

See our benshhhh!

Chelsea that's in transfer ban and this Yoonited squad, what's the difference?

Up man utd, at least Ole is clearing out all the dead woods wey dey man utd

Clean sheet with AWB and Maguire part of the back 4. Ice on the Cake to make it 4 nil by Dan James..... That are the Differences.

We should be able to win this game o.....

Smalling is our best CB defensive wise.

Lindelof is shit, I hope tuanzebe turns out to be a good defender.

Smalling is more rugged. Lindelof better on use of ball.

Tuanzebe. I dey look with one eye. We always believe those who don't play are better. Like when the Ivorian was on the bench.

1 CS in 18 games, last away win in April,

Not too good statistics.

BARAJ92:
clearing deadwood without replacement is almost the same as trouble. Nothing is bad having Tuanzebe and smalling as replacement for our constant two central back. During Ferguson, we have over six central back, Vidic and Ferdinand were the mainstays while Evans O'Shea, Smalling and Jones were backup players

Even with these players, there was still a time in injury forced SAF to use Carrick in CD

This start though...

Jamesss

Goal ball.

3 goals in 3 games....

signed for £16m.

Daniel James.

DJ!!

James will score loads of goals. He always gets into good positions

We need another one ASAP.

James should always play the LW.. He's more unpredictable there.

Afrodoc have you changed your mind about D. James yet?

James

Yes... Southampton are attacking. They're not sitting back at all.

Nice pass from Perreira thou... Sweet goal DJ

Danilinho Jamés on the beat

I'm happy to take the humble pie on Daniel James. That's a fantastic goal. He didnt look like he had to quality of a high level player but he's done brilliantly so far.

Relax. Epl teams will still open his book.

Considering his transfer fee, I'm ok for now

I've always wondered why Pereira sits on the bench..

BARAJ92:
The sale of Smalling is as bad as the sale of Fletcher who can easily be used as back up.

Throughout the transfer window, I did not lament but during our first match , it was so obvious that will could not string passes together or even penetrate the opposition apart from counter.

We badly need Midfield players and sales of injury prone players like Rojo, Jones and Baily not sale of ever reliable Smalling

Just before your post, it was said Smalling is leaving because he was not guaranteed regular football. So I guess Jones, Bailly and Rojo agreed to be back up just like Fletcher, Oshea and Evans. Even at some point, Giggs was a back up player.

Daniel James has already matched Alexis Sanchez' league goal tally for Manchester United.



Bloody hell.

Daniel James.

3 goals on his first 3 shots in PL

This is how a 10 operates... Mata!

Mata is a million miles better than Lingard

The cross to AWB, nice one by McTom.
