United have the best midfield in the league?

Odds on the Martial goal being in the goal of the season shortlist?

Bound to be. Predictably everywhere today in the media. Ah well, our 18 year old scored a last minute winner and cost about £58m less than their 18 year old!!

Exactly mate. Anything they can do we can do better...

It's already won it, he has the pennant on his wall

To be fair to Martial, he did score a cracking goal in United's biggest game of the season on the back of a ridiculous transfer fee. Lets give credit where its due.

He will offer them something different but he will come up against a lot more sterner defences through the season. In a way, he was lucky playing against an absolute woeful Liverpool side who have a shite players all over the pitch and were playing with no game plan.

I still think they are nowhere near our level and have been very lucky at times this season. However there are a few positives for them.

Shaw and Smalling are turning into top class players and they have managed to keep De Gea for a while longer.

And it is stuck to the wall with a big splash of Martin fucking Tyler's jism.

United have the best midfield in the league and means teams just don't attack them enough. Still can't understand why Schweinsteiger was being written off. The only question should have been how many games he plays. They have dominated midfield in every game they have played and had more chances in every game. Their lack of fire power will cost them and it's why I don't think they will mount a serious challenge, but they should come 2nd.

Martial is quick and scored a decent goal but unless people were watching a lot of Monaco can't judge any more than that.

Depay has been really poor, Darmian looks great and Smalling has improved a lot.

i want some of what you smoke...looks like high quality

The best midfield in the league, it doesn't matter how many times you repeat it, it still isn't true
They might have a lot of the ball but that is because they take no risks and pass for the sake of passing

I'd take Swansea's midfield over theirs - Utd's midfield has no goals in it, no pace and no creativity

I really can't see where you are coming from

They could take more risks if they wanted, but it is a deliberate tactic. Do you really think Schweinsteiger and Carrick lack creativity? I hate the tactic and I don't believe it works, but just because they are choosing to play a certain way does not mean they can't play a different way under a different manager.

By the way when I say midfield I mean just the central midfield, which would be Schweinsteiger, Scneiderlin, Carrick and Herrera. The likes of Silva, Ozil etc would not be included.

They played Swansea and dominated the midfield and created more chances than Swansea. Rooney having a shocking game and Gomis being better is why they lost.

We will see what the season brings.

Having idle possession without looking like threatening isn't dominating the midfield.
