Starting with as many youngsters as we did was always a risk and having an unfit Evans and an Anderson in there didn't help things. De Gea had his worst game i've seen him play, should 100% have saved the second & third goals and just didn't seem that commanding in the box. Hernandez was awful as he has been for a long, long time and Januzaj was largely disappointing when he came on too. Welbeck was good, as was Wilson who really, really should have started ahead of Hernandez.what a typical reaction ,you must be a right typical part time glory hunter and as for the managers reaction what a fucking saddoo Louis van Gaal 'not shocked' by Man Utd defeat at MK Dons,just think you was once so big and powerful and you lose to a lot lower side ha,that was worse than us losing to wrexham in 92,fuck what cup it was.
Of course the majority are going to ignore the team we fielded and laugh at us even more but for me i'm really not too bothered. LvG gave the youngsters a chance which is all you can ask for. Don't get me wrong if the first team had just lost 4-0 i'd be livid but it was far from that.

Fergie knew before he left what his problems were and then did the most selfish signing ever in RVP who he nursed through one season relatively fit so he could win the title then fucked off. RVP then reverts to type and is mainly injured the defence was a mess and there was no creativity in midfield. All the players identified to sign were missed and still Man U need a decnet pair of center backs and a creative midfielder and a fit for most of the season striker. LVG can not work magic . Last night MK outplayed , out run and fought Man U and the players on that pitch showed no spirit or inclanation to fight even for a little pride.
Other sides are no longer scared or intimidated either home or away so this could be a long hard season.

Here we were, having been convinced that it was all Moyes' fault for being the unadventurous, ex-Everton manager and now it appears that even the self proclaimed legend that is Van Gaal can't quite get it right.
Although, serious question, but where is Di Maria, the winger, going to fit in when the team plays with no wingers at this time? Surely he is not going to be wasted at wing-back? Maybe this will see RVG change to a 4-3-3?

Decent looking side, that. And Rojo to fill in when Jones or Evans are having mares.
Not a great deal of quality beyond the XI (for that system at least) but how many games are you actually gonna play this season? 45 max? There's not much call for rotation.

Herrera's still injured too, 10 injuries LvG says. 3 games in. For fuck sake.
