You still have some chaff amongst the wheat but you look a completely different team than the shower of **** on display before the international break. ManU fans should be looking forward to an exciting season even if you don't win anything.

93 mins in, 4-0 up and Herrera is still covering every blade.

Herrera should have been man of the match. He was stunning in there, literally everywhere, attack, defense, harassment. Great engine and passion.
It absolutely makes sense to protect Shaw if he's not quite there yet, and even as woeful as Valencia is... even he can't screw this game up for Utd
you know Valencia and Shaw play on the opposite sides right?
Agree
You can say that again - after about the 70th minute it fizzled out
That's more like it.
I know it was "only" QPR at home but last year this would have been a very different game. We should be hammering teams like this at home but as the start of the season showed, we're still going through a rough patch and this match is something that should at least start building some confidence.

That was essentially a training ground exercise for United. With Fer and Sandro in midfield and Hoilett and Phillips on the wing I expected QPR to play with a bit of bite and energy, but they were so lazy it was embarrassing. I can't remember QPR putting any pressure on Blind or the central defenders when they were on the ball - they just had all the time in the world to work the ball forward.
Good game for United, QPR were woeful.
Bigger tests to come, I'm not still 100% sold on that United backline. Accident waiting to happen.
On that showing v.Persie should be the one who's worried about his position in the team, I thought he was poor.

Just like it should have been for Liverpool vs AV yesterday
Remember at the very least we have Shaw to come in at LFB and Rojo to move into the middle - and possibly Blind - would make the defence a lot stronger
Falcao evidently on the decline - not scoring on his debut :\ (or is it home debut where he scored everywhere else?)
Hoses, you can do better than that, surely?

Bit harsh, he barely had 20 minutes on the pitch i think!
