Januzaj is going to be a special player.

Yep he looks very good

only thing I would worry about if I was a United supporter is if he ends up like Pogba (which will depend on his agent I think)

Yeah, if he can get his shooting boots figured out and/or decision making regarding when or not to shoot.

I'm not concerned, it's obvious that Moyes is more than willing to give him opportunities. Pretty confident they'll sign him to a new contract soon.

[d_phaneuf]

Wow

he's making himself a first choice selection now

what a volley

2-1

haha I think the Cleverly one has some merit though, would anyone really be surprised if he's at a club like QPR (assuming promotion) within 2-3 years?

he's 24 in a few months and he isn't great at anything, he's a decent passer but not good enough for a team competing for trophies, he's not quick enough to play up top, he's not stalwart defensively

[devo22]

did Kagawa sleep with Moyes' wife or something? So fricking tired of seeing Young or Valencia every game.

I was just about to post something similar re. Moyes getting a bad dose of sushi food poisoning?

Very very strange.

Entertaining game, positive step for both teams.

The only real loser here is Danny Welbeck's hair stylist.

If he scores I'm imagining he has a celebratory kid n play t-shirt on under his jersey.

I wouldn't be surprised, he's a dime a dozen midfielder.

Having said that, given United history of signing quality midfielders I wouldn't be surprised to see him at United in 2-3 years.

On another note ...I do not miss John O'Shea.

Looked like a clear penalty

edit ..... not even close

[d_phaneuf]

I thought it was live too

weird angle

[Bagor]

Ok get him inked.

Kid is crazy ala Giggs to pass up on a chance to play in the WC.

Camera angle was weird. I thought so too initially, but on replay it was clearly his thigh.

[devo22]

important result. Not always pretty, but the three points were key here

get Januzaj inked long-term ASAP

Enough with the facade, we're asking what your previous username was.

Manchester United look like a shell of what they once were. They need to go out and buy a couple of proper centre halves, as Jones, Vidic, Ferdinand and Evans are all either pretenders or past their best. They leak like a sieve.

And there you have it. Proof in just how .... in a couple of games, in the space of ten days, a player's career can plummet dramatically.

From being the absolute best in the world in their position to being a past it pretender.
