    No he is not the new van persie but can said giggs. The way he took the ball with his left foot and running fast with four player surrounding him remaind me of giggs young days remember the famous goal with arsenal

    After this match i think DM should change his tactics in 4-5-1 with two defensive midfielder.the rest januzaj,valencia,rooney,van persie,kagawa,chicharito,nani will do the job.

    United had great chance in central to score long range shoot like scholes does. I notice every united corner the ball went in central but the player doesn’t shoot like scholes does. We fans shout shoot shoot but no the passes or loses the ball. But am happy one united player is scoring like that with wigan. Its known other than nick powell. His first united goal come like that also. Moyes bring him back in january. He is our new scholes . Midfielder should be like him when there is chance they should shoot from long range.

    For me Januzaj was wonderful,just after he came in with his clever passes and clever penetration everything changed all of suddenly, ithink moyes should play the lad more often, chicharito also should get the chance to impress.
