Van Persie

We've played well in spells this season but I'm struggling to remember a performance when we've played well throughout.

Normally we've played well in the first half, took the lead and sat back and soaked up pressure in the 2nd or not played well and went a goal down in the first and went up a few gears in the 2nd to comeback and win.

I guess the best way to describe us this season would be efficient. We've been an absolute machine in the league without playing with the flamboyance that you would normally associate with a United team.

RVP has a decent all round game, but is really a striker who needs good service, and right now our midfield isn't given him good service. So he has gone off the boil slightly in recent matches, and whilst he can create the odd chance for himself, that's not really what his game is all about. He's also not got the legs and energy of a Rooney or a Wellbeck, so he's not going to run himself into the ground.

That's still not denying what a great player he is, what a great season he has had, but of course no player is immune to criticism. To compare RVP and Ronaldo is silly, because Ronaldo has much more to his game and can create so much more by himself, but this does not stop TVP being a top-class talent.

Generally our team isn't creating as many chances as I would like, but RVP was in such clinical form that it didn't really matter - it's thanks to our defensive strength in recent games that we haven't always needed to score a hatful of goals.

We need more creativity, which means hopefully an improved Kagawa after a settling in period, but just more quality generally in our midfielders. Our wingers need to get their fingers out also, because no-one has been outstanding in that department this season.

Looking at the season as a whole, our best players have been Rafael, RVP, De Gea and standout Carrick - he looked jaded today, it was a rare off performance, and obviously suffered from playing on Saturday, yet he was still better than a few others. He's my Utd player of the season.

RVP and Fergie out

Yeah, and bring back Obertan, he would have solved all our wing problems

Think Carrick deserves a mention. Did well with possession under pressure.

Yeah, and bring back Obertan, he would have solved all our wing problems

And get Bebe starting

Bebe > Valencia.....

Bebe actually played quite well against Benfica at the weekend even though Rio Ave lost 6-1.

Almost scored a wonder goal after running with the ball from deep and nutmegging two players in the process including the much talked about Ezequiel Garay.

He seems to be doing quite well in Portugal from what I've seen.

Bebe should be played in attack, then we can judge him

Sensational save.
