He's making his full debut today vs Cardiff. Let's see what kind of role he takes on at United.

I don't follow them much but by the looks of it:

--------Van Persie

--Januzaj-Rooney-Mata

-----Cleverly-Carrick

Evra-Jones-Ferdinand?-Rafael

Seems like a really strong lineup if they decide to go that way. Moyes might not use that formation or lineup in reality, just a thought on how to fit all the best players into the starting 11.

Rooney is not starting today. So he'll just play behind RVP.
When all of them starts that is how they'll linep at front. But the mid and defence will be something like this :

------------RVP-------------
--Januzaj--Rooney--MATA--
---Fellaini/Jones---Carrick---
Evra-Vidic--Evans--rafael

Not a bad effort mate considering you don't watch us, but these days Ferdinand should be nowhere near our first eleven, and the same with Cleverley. Both unfortunate since Rio was one of our best ever defenders and Cleverley showed so much potential at one point.

This is more like it. With Fletcher able to play in the midfield too and Kagawa rotating with the attacking mid. Probably Smalling though instead of Vidic for me these days.

Looks like Moyes is insistant on using Valencia and Young though which is disappointing. Uninspiring team choice tonight apart from Mata, Van Persie and our subs bench.

Their central midfield is still way too weak and the full backs aren't the best either. But they've made a step forward with the Mata transfer. Now they need to get rid of 1 or 2 strikers and reinforce their other weak positions.

Had dross around him but still did pretty good, i noticed a lot of times him passing and moving through the center and we just did not want to find him, going to take a while to settle in i think. Did Youngs goal count as an assist?

Wonder if he regrets moving yet.

He may well regret it, until he sees his bank account every week. How he managed 3 assists with this team and the way he has been used is remarkable to be honest.

Of course he doesn't regret it. It's not like he thought United would play for the title once they'd sign him.
