He looks fit but lacking in match sharpness.
Rooney looks unfit at times and lacking in sharpness. Though might as well keep him on and hope he can nick a goal somehow.
We scored thanks to 2 mistakes (Jonas, J.Enrique)
Newcastle didn't play bad till that moment
After the 1-0 they showed all their weaknesses, tactically and technically above all
The man is a monster.
All in the same place with 3 defenders. It was intelligent play but not intelligent movement from our front players.
Actually it was a pretty good ball. He meant for Scholes to run onto it and smash it in but you could see for a split second in the corner of the screen that Scholes was flat-footed. Not really Nani's fault.
Valencia has undone himself a few times, losing the ball under his own feet. He did excellently for Berba's goal but he's not been himself down the wing. Yet.
I don't want Rooney to leave the pitch without a goal. He's trying but the ball just isn't falling for him or his sharpness is off. He just needs to get off the mark and he should be fine.
Good half from us so far. Don't stop there.

Nani? Really?
He is going to be the difference maker this season, he's been bright so far, do not take him off Alex
Bright? No. lively -yes. Though I expect him to be moved to the right and do better as usually.
My point wasnt about Rooney's fitness, its about being a twat towards an important player of ours very unnecessarily, particularly when said player is someone who thrives on confidence. It doesnt help at the start of the season.
tbf continuous pressure will tell.
He didn't have the ball for the first 25 minutes. I forgot he was playing. We normally give him the ball more than this.
Plenty of time for that to happen for him this season, would rather rest and get him fully fit.
Barton needs to talk to Neville to find out how to grow a real 'stache.
Have to admit put like that , sounds like a good idea
Ok half time review, Valencia looks slightly off the pace, which is odd considering how he did against chelsea but to be expected after a long time off football. Great tracking back though for the first goal.
Nani and Evra are tearing the poor right back apart. Rooney definitely needs minutes, Berba is working hard and i shall claim it's down to the haircut. Evra looks very sharp, Scholes is very good at playing football and Fletcher is getting himself about and passing it around well.
Barton looks like a 1930's conman, Carroll is tall and Enrique is as poor as i remember.

As poor as he has been, Rooney looks more impressive tonight then at the World Cup. Jesus.
SSN keep banging on about Carroll's header, as well as SS1. Shut up! lolol.
a couple of poor balls from Nani was what he was frustrated with. He desperately wants to score. btw Nani's confidence is not that fragile.
Well when it does fall for Rooney he's struggling today.
That goal Fletcher scored, Rooney would have scored any time last season pre injury.
But we should keep him on and get him a goal somehow.
Love how Berba chose to pass to him rather than chip the keeper which he easily could have done. Real team man.
Rooney obviously needs minutes, but perhaps best to give him his first full 90 against Fulham. Make sure he's well rested for that one. Would love to see Berbarito in action. Or Machedatov.
Why does Andy Gray keep bleating bout goals being "borderling offside" when their quite clearly not?
Hopefully, he's great on the right...
Borderline offside is more scintillating than nowhere near offside.
To be fair Neville's is pretty shit too
Because Andy Gray can only give begrudging praise to United. He's always been like that.
Because he's a tool?
FFS Gray and his new toy , shut the feck up
Not one person on here would be saying this if the roles were reversed.
Berbatov has looked sharp and lively. He has scored. You don't haul a striker off after 45 minutes based on that.
Just had an interesting stats thing on my stream. doing comparisons of players. 2 goalkeepers etc best was they compared Smith and Scholes. Passes made. Scholes: 39 Smith: 8
Have you played football before? Do you know the amount of time you have when you get into such positions? The penalty spot is the default for easy goals.
It's not a comedy.
Rooney staying on
I meant the penalty spot. Bad translation to English on my part. Sorry.
after 45 mins no , but after 60-65 mins yes I admit it would be a good idea
Played for years and now I coach. What about you? You didn't mention the penalty spot as the default position - you banged on about the centre circle
No wonder I didn't have a Scooby what you were going on aboutScholes has been fecking immense. Once again.
