How on earth is this not a clear offside and why on earth didn't the goalie just focus on the side of goal that the players aren't blocking his view from?
Regardless, their movement is a clear distraction and interference.
Shrewbury handing it to Utd. Simply sitting back and letting them attack.

just took a look at the United players that got their first team debuts under van Gaal. It's a crazy long list.
in 2014-15
Jesse Lingard
Andreas Pereira
Patrick McNair
Tyler Blackett (on loan)
Michael Keane (sold)
Tom Thorpe (sold)
Saidy Janko (sold)
Marnick Vermijl (sold)
Reece James (sold)
in 2015-16
Cameron Borthwick-Jackson
Guillermo Varela
Donald Love
Joe Riley
Marcus Rashford
Regan Poole
plus those youngsters who have at least made the bench this season:
Joel Pereira
Dean Henderson
Axel Tuanzebe
Sean Goss
James Weir
obviously some of those will never make it and have only played because of the thin squad (which is entirely LVGs fault), but it's still an impressive list ... not very often that a big club will hand debuts to so many youngsters. I remember all this talk about United selling their identity of bringing through youth players when they sold the likes of Welbeck and Cleverley in favour of expensive new signings, but it seems that was completely premature. As a United fan that's great to see, especially since there have been tons of articles suggesting that Uniteds youth setup is crap in comparison to Citys. Got to hand it to Warren Joyce, Nicky Butt and the other coaches involved in the youth setups, they have done some great work. Especially Borthwick-Jackson looks a real talent and Varela has been fine too. No idea about Riley and Rashford yet, but they obviously had fantastic debuts on Thursday.

add Timothy Fosu Mensah to the list of those who at least make the bench ...
this one could be ugly if Arsenal find their groove. United have tons of injuries plus underperforming players. Reminds me a bit of the depleted Arsenal team back then when they lost 8-2 ...
Chasing shadows against the biggest piece of #### United team since 1974.
I hope Wenger is sat in the corner mumbling to himself as he tries vainly to do up his zipper. Because if he is doing a team talk and trying to deliver tactics, we are ####ed.
What a game. A Rashford brace, a van Gaal dive and an intense game all around. And in the end, United grind out a win and piss on Arsenals title challenge. I really couldn't have asked for a better result and a more entertaining afternoon

Basically perfect. Spurs were all over Swansea and really Fabianski not only gave them a chance but kept it anywhere near respectable. Could've been really ugly for the Swans.
So pumped right now and a huge week coming. First West Ham and then the NLD. Could very well be the week that determines the championship.
