What a very very strange formation...

Cleverley as a Wing back and Welbeck next to Herrera

fez · 26 Jul 2014 at 21:16

Strange how we haven't got Januzaj back yet.

Robbo · 26 Jul 2014 at 21:28

Cleverley not covering himself in glory so far, to say the least. Lost the ball more than anyone else. :/

fez · 26 Jul 2014 at 21:32

I don't understand why Van Gaal said that Cleverley would be playing 90 minutes.

As above, he wants to give him his big chance to see what he can do. Not much so far... (nobody has been great though)

This game is just highlighting how crap some of our players are. Valencia and Cleverley are just pants.

fez · 26 Jul 2014 at 21:43

Lovely strike

Robbo · 26 Jul 2014 at 21:43

Rooney scores a belter. What a goal.

Fulax · 26 Jul 2014 at 21:44

What a hit.

Are any of these United youngsters particularly highly rated? Can't say I've ever heard of any of them.

FrankJH · 26 Jul 2014 at 21:44

Utd still lucky more than anything not to be at least 2 down though - good goal by rooney

vanandjuanunited · 26 Jul 2014 at 21:44

Average player this Rooney fella

Robbo · 26 Jul 2014 at 21:45

Rooney with a hollywood ball to Mata and another superb goal.

vanandjuanunited · 26 Jul 2014 at 21:46

Rooney mata1-2

FrankJH · 26 Jul 2014 at 21:46

laughs 2-0 (not sure its deserved given dodgy Utd defence but will take it happily)

vanandjuanunited · 26 Jul 2014 at 21:47

Gotta put the ball in the net though

All Roma have been doing is chipping it over the top to Destro, and bar a couple of dodgy moments we've looked relatively solid.

Rooney is looking great though.

Reece James looks a very good left back...

fez · 26 Jul 2014 at 21:48

Not entirely deserved but I'll take it. We are unlikely to dominate play so might as well take our chances. What was the score against Liverpool again?

Robbo · 26 Jul 2014 at 21:50

MUTV has gone down, nice.

Isnt that exactly what Rooney did to Mata for the 2nd goal?

The quality of the opposition has certainly gone up from the other night, but just not sure how good Roma are in comparison to Stoke etc let alone Everton, Spurs , Arsenal

Rooney's ball was a beast though, not your typical chipped offside trap pass.

I think Roma are pretty good... not a full strength team but then neither is ours.
