It's weird how Taggart spent £18m for him when Stekelenberg went for about £6m.
My thoughts exactly, can't understand that one myself - would have taken Stekelenberg for sure. Rene Muelensteen even told Dutch media that Stekelenberg was our first choice target.

Clubs look for such dramatically different things in a keeper than fans do, I've noticed.

Such a filthy victory, I have no idea where a goal was coming from if we hadn't fluked a pinballer. Will definitely take it.

First half hour I thought we looked fantastic, but as soon as De Gea's howler got them back into it we just seemed to fade, classic example of a 'keeper's (lack of) confidence spreading through the team.

Good to see our defensive crisis has started nice and early this season - Rafael out for 10 weeks, Rio out for six, Vidic at least a couple, and Evra missed today due to injury.

Love that it took one game for the people who were dissing Ashley Young to look stupid.

We need some big signings or Robin's gone next summer. Jack the year after. 2 weeks to undo all this damage and some insanely huge games as well.

Love that there's 60+ games left in the season for Manchester United and you're calling Ashley Young a success after one game.
I don't see the word success in my post, do you? You're entirely right that he has plenty, plenty more to prove, but I found it humourous that after reading posts and posts about how abysmal Ashley Young is, he won United their first game.

Only £25m up front for Cesc, possibly reaching £34m if he sees out the five year contract and Barca win a couple of La Ligas and another CL with him. Which they will.

And the buy-out clause? Just the £175m.

I didn't notice those posts? I thought he was considered at worst either overpriced or slightly below the level United should be looking for.

Hmm. I don't read any football forums, really wasn't aware that there was much Ashley Young hate..

In other news, Robbie Keane has signed for LA Galaxy. Sucks for Ireland..
