That free kick.....

...WTF

Mata looked confused as to why he was being waved away by Fred and Pereira of all people when it was given. Then at full time, he was chatting to DDG and looked pi55ed off.

Nothing against Fred but he has the worst long shot I've ever seen from a United midfielder.

It's nonsensical decisions like these that makes me question who's actually in charge of this club.

You still got the hots for Pereira or have you now concluded like the rest of us that he isn’t any good.

Was willing to give him his chance but no ultimately he isn't good enough for what we aspire to be.

As I've said before though Lingard, Mata, Matic, Pereira out in that order. Unless we go mental with the cheque book he'll be here until at least 2021.

As 5th/6th choice I think he is fine. Only £30k per week too. Issue is he is almost a mainstay in this side

Fair enough bud.

Pereira is midtable quality at best. He'd make a decent squad player who fights for a place on the bench every week. Definitley not someone who starts regularly for us

It's what happens when you don't have a leader on the pitch. A proper captain steps in and gives it to Mata.

One can only hope Bruno helps in this regard...

Absolute poverty decision allowing Fred to take that free kick.
++

who allowed it?

Looked like Mata and Andreas Pereira to me. They both probably didn't fancy it.

Surely Maguire has to step in there? You could almost hear every United fan shout “not Fred!!!” When he places the ball.

Mata is Utd's most senior outfield player. He should have been demanding it.

Im sure it was a training ground drilled decision. Maybe to close or too central etc. for the other two?

Doesn't make him a leader though, does it?

I've seen Fred take a few free kicks now, and I think they've all hit the wall
