I would say that salvaging a point is a proverbial “win” here, but c’mon this is a newly promoted side that United is facing.

United suffered an embarrassingly early exit from the Champions League on Tuesday night when they lost 3-2 at Wolfsburg.
United had refused to speak about the incident ahead of Tuesday’s Champions League defeat at Wolfsburg, but West Ham were adamant that Schweinsteiger was guilty of foul play.
“Pep is interesting for every top club in the world”, he said.
By Ian Herbert Even in the worst of times, there have been individuals at the heart of Manchester United who would force the squad to take a long, hard look in the mirror.
CHERRIES host Manchester United in the Premier League tomorrow (5.30pm).
“People think it is “just” the Europa League but I’m not thinking like that”. You can lose and win in sport, you have to accept it.
“Playing for Manchester United comes with a lot of pressure”, said Lingard, whose side go into the weekend in fourth place in the table, three points below leaders Leicester City. The Frenchman has scored six goals in 18 appearances for the club to date, including three in the league and the 20-year-old is looking better than the proven Wayne Rooney up front. How wrong was I?
Over the Christmas period, Manchester United need to incorporate Mempis Depay, Ander Herrera, Juan Mata and Anthony Martial into their starting eleven.
Getting knocked out of a competition hurts. On the other will be the remaining four third-placed teams from the Champions League and the 12 Europa League group runners up. I came to improve and win the title, when it is possible. We were going out of the tournament on away goals. That’s my answer because I can only give facts.
“He is the manager, it is his philosophy and we have to continue like that. There’s a lot of experienced players like Carrick, Schweinsteiger, De Gea and it’s up to them to help the younger players”. It was going in and was going to be a handsome goal.
“That is the spirit we want in this team”. The defeat killed our season. His word is law and so, we must take what he says at face value. That hurt. Once again, we were so near but so far. I have already won the Europa (Uefa) Cup with Ajax in my first season, and I was very proud of that. It’s not what United fans expect.
Which leaves Liverpool, whose 0-0 draw with FC Sion secured them a group winner’s position. That is not the case at United. The fan base will be eager to see their team strengthen in January and sign a quality striker to lead the line.

But the days of Cristiano Ronaldo, Carlos Tevez and Ruud van Nistelrooy are a far cry from United’s current crop as Van Gaal’s troops have proved uninspiring in possession this term. Business can be done.
