United went ahead with Memphis Depay scoring his first EPL goal with a sublime volley.

“My first impression is that they are not too heavy but the problem is that we have to play Wednesday already”.
Luke Shaw continues to recover from a broken leg, with Michael Carrick and Antonio Valencia joining a lengthy list of concerns.
Van Gaal, quoted by several British Sunday newspapers, said of possible future transfer activity: “We are looking at all players, not just Ronaldo”.
“There are a lot of games coming up, we’ve got a lot of injuries at the moment and have to adapt to that, I thought we did that well today”.
“Jones and Herrera are not available for Wednesday”.
But mindful that seeing United play against PSV could stoke some bad memories, Van Gaal has given Shaw a few days off from his rehabilitation which, the Dutchman admits, is proving to be a frustrating process for the England global. He is at home. Tomorrow he comes and then I can say more. I expect that he shall play Wednesday, but you never know, I do not know the development of the illness.
“You can have a lot of difficulties to keep all the players with confidence, but it’s true it wasn’t our team in the first half”. I think we did it well and I enjoyed the game.
Depay showed compsure to coolly finish…
However, Van Gaal has attempted to exempt Moreno of any blame beyond making a “reckless tackle”. He finished it very well.
When asked for an update on how long the left-back would be sidelined, Van Gaal said: “I can not answer because you have to be very cautious with an injury like that”. We did play very good when the opponent had the ball but we didn’t give away more than three or four chances. Schweinsteiger’s performance was exemplary of the team’s as a whole, as they struggled to play to their ability but came out victorious nonetheless.
“Maybe now we have to buy a left-back”.
Deeney slammed the penalty down the middle but five minutes later inadvertently restored United’s lead after he bundled home Bastian Schweinsteiger’s cross. It was important for me to score a goal when I got a chance.
