sloppy defending from United! and the midfield is blunt too! Rooney had a bad day during the Swansea match but without him, the midfield is uninspired! great game btw
Not gonna lie, that was thoroughly entertaining. Just the kind of match I was looking for this Christmas.
Too bad it was...THEM!!!
In all seriousness, though, well played. This now makes our match against Newcastle this weekend that much harder. I just hope they approach defending the same way they did in this match lol!
didnt get to watch the match. from the stats it looked pretty even and from the comments above i take it there was no drama. with that said, well done to united and to newcastle too for giving the league leaders a run for their money.
with city losing today, it eases the blow on last weeks draw.
As brilliant as he's been this year, I don't think his performance warrants getting rid of Rooney. United's offense is in a wonderful place right now. I wouldn't change a thing.
Can't knock Newcastle, though. Would really like to see them a bit higher on the table. Kind of dissapointing after last year.
Madrid are having an incredibly poor season in the league and you can't blame it all on your manager. Your defence if anything is no better than United's (which has been deprived of a stable central pairing) and you don't have the fighting spirit or the killer instinct to finish games like United are displaying.
United's only real problem is defence, which will be strengthened a lot quicker when Vidic returns to the team on a regular basis. Fixing a total lack of desire or spirit on Madrid's part will be far more difficult, even integrating a new manager.
I personally think it's disgraceful how the 'powers that be' let old plum nose run the game.
His theatrics to the official after Evans' own goal would have started an enquiry if it was any other manager...The book would've been thrown at them. Danish sizzler face gets away with it time and time again.
One rule for the wankers another for the rest of the league and it has to stop.
Did you even watch the game? There were so many decisions that didn't go our way and some clear cut decisions that weren't given to us (colloc handball)
Then everyone is going on about how Sir Alex berated the refs but fails to mention the entire Newcastle staff having a right go themselves.
Anyway keep showing the bitterness us United fans love it!
I'm not the type to offend people, so please do not take this offensive. It's just a question to state a fact; were you born stupid, or did it evolve over time?
So because loads of decisions didn't go your way makes it alright? My teams game yesterday had awful refereeing decisions and shocking cheating from the opposition. We never threw our toys out of the pram.
Do you HONESTLY think no other manager would get punished? I've seen them punished for less.
And Kos-Mos, I hope you enjoyed the box of Kleenex you got for Christmas so you can furiously masturbate on your sofa on Super Sunday.
Well, you certainly can't say a season ticket at Old Trafford isn't value for money lol. Great game but I wish SAF would invest in a world class central defender next month.
we need 2 world class center defenders. no offense to vidic and ferdinand but they are reaching their expiry date. we need to start looking for a young evra replacement as well. but i think players like evans and rafael and jones will do great. they certainly have the potential. i say this judging by wes brown and silvestre, when they came is as youngsters, they too were scoring own goals and making silly amateurish mistakes but with game time and experience, they did well for united.
Was obvious United would win it from the moment RVP scored the equalizer (3-3)..Some horrible defending from both teams.
This is what being united fan is all about. Heart in mouth stuff knowing you can be down but never out! A true Christmas cracker.

United should sell Rooney and play Chich full time
