The upside to the string of goalless draws and low-scoring matches is that we haven’t conceded in any of them either.
No chances created meant that it wasn’t until stoppage time when United put the game beyond doubt.
Scholes believes that United lack the creative spark and the urgency to attack and threaten the opposition.
Louis Van Gaal’s possession philosophy has been a highlight of his United reign, as he is of the belief that the team that wins must keep most of the ball.
When United faced CSKA in the return game at Old Trafford, Lingard was arguably United’s best player on the pitch. I don’t want a big selection because when you have a big selection it doesn’t give any chance to the young players.
“I am really disappointed for the players”.
With a win that broke a sequence this season of United twice losing the last game before an worldwide break, this Van Gaal squad will surely only become better, with him driving it on.
United have been under pressure from fans and pundits alike for their lacklustre performances of late.
Anthony Martial, the pounds 36?million August arrival from Monaco, possesses the pace that Van Gaal craves and the French forward’s ability to race onto Ander Herrera’s 90th- minute pass is precisely what his manager desires out wide.

Lingard scored the opening goal in the 2-0 victory at Old Trafford on Saturday.
Lingard, a new star in the horizon? It’s a great price for a striker who has shown he can be lethal when given half a chance and I feel like he may play more through the center on Saturday.
Lingard’s drive and daring has dislodged Depay, the pounds 25?million summer signing from PSV Eindhoven, in recent weeks and his goal showcased his readiness to be bold – a quality Van Gaal appears to have taken away from a few of his more experienced players.
“There are still two months until the transfer window opens and there is nothing concrete, but the intention is to leave Manchester United”.
Dieumerci Mbokani has been involved in three of the Canaries’ last five Premier League goals (scored two, one assist).
Of course, it was again a fantastic goal because Jesse Lingard scored his first goal today.

“I would say it is much too early and we have to wait and see to see if he is consistent in his form”, Van Gaal said.
