Valencia hold on to head to the Group Stage.

[Lineker]

Celtic are out and van Dijk is presumably booking a direct flight to Southampton.

[King Ellis]

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaalmo. Maaaaaaaaaaaaaalmo.

[Kaney]

Yeah, don't think van Dijk will get the same plane home. Ooooooh weellllll.

[Lineker]

Maccabi Tel-Aviv managed to knock out Basel too. Cupset there.

Manchester United ‏@ManUtd

#mufc XI: Romero; Darmian, Smalling, Blind, Shaw; Herrera, Carrick; Mata, Januzaj, Memphis; Rooney.

 

Would have liked to see Hernandez get a start, but meh. At least Herrera is getting a kick for once.

Pleased Herrera starts. He linked up very well with Mata and Valencia on the right last year when he was given a chance, so hopefully he can do the same with Mata and Darmian.

[LL!]

I too am happy to see Herrera in the lineup. I think that if he is given enough playing time, he could prove himself to be integral to the team. I like that kid.

Literally die.

Racist. :/

Literally the what?

So he won't be linking up with either of them as he starts on the left. Why do you do this to me LVG?

1-0 Utd; Rooney ends his personal goal-scoring drought.

Let's be honest. That was all Memphis, though.

[Jimmy]

I dunno, thought the turn and finish was pretty good to Rooney's credit.

It, honestly, to me looked like he was about to hesitate. Credit to Rooney for getting it around the keeper, but Memphis did the work in distracting everybody (even almost Rooney judging by the half second of hesitation.)

[unitedツ]

Memphis should have done a lot better there.

It's just not Herrera's night.

Where he's positioned, it's the kind of place you'd expect him to trap as he's facing away from goal, so I assumed that little movement was the fool the defender so he could turn and go for goal. Might be overrating it, but thought it was really clever movement.
