Luke Shaw

After an amazing performance against arch rivals the Scouser, it seems United are back to the drawing board with a lacklustre performance against PSV. Or is it?

I must say that I was seriously impressed with United's performance against Liverpool this past Saturday! It had all the talking points we needed as United fans! A comfortable winning margin, solid all round play from the team and a goal on debut for Anthony Martial. To be honest I wasn't able to catch the majority of the match as I was at a family wedding, but I did manage to watch the goals and a fair chunk by streaming on my phone. I thought going forward we were excellent! We have all seen the comparison with Henry's goal against Liverpool with the one Martial scored and I for one am backing him to live up to his potential and huge price tag!

All in all a win against Liverpool is always welcomed and especially with a performance like that!

A great welcome back to DDG and the signing of a new 4 year contract will only mean good things for United by having him play and if he still wants to leave, a better buyout clause for United. Like I said in one of my previous posts, I backed United to play hard ball to have this exact situation unfold! DDG will always be a fans favourite and welcome addition to any team.

Last night's game against PSV was just hard to watch as I felt it showed just how much we need another established striker! Martial was weak but don't get me wrong! I am still backing him and know age is on his side. Luke Shaw's injury was horrific! What a start he has had to the season and for him to be sidelined with an injury like a double fracture is just a cruel blow! My thoughts and prayers are with him and hope he will come back stronger! United could have easily been 3-0 up at half time. They come back from the break almost a dejected team! Could it have been the news of Shaw's injury at halftime that played it's part on the team? I think it might have been, as the response on social media from the players after the game was emphatic! A real show of team spirit and togetherness. Maybe they will rally now and use this unfortunate incident to push on and start gelling!

I hope so! For United's sake and Shaw's!
