I brought up Mata, because you brought up Pereira, who happens to be competing with Mata for the same position.

So Pereira only deserved 2 starts this season because Mata has been that good? Hmm. I beg to differ.

About sums him up. Just as deluded as Moyes, starting to think maybe more deluded.

Mata has 9 goals and 7 assists - better stats than Pereira - and he is your 2nd most productive attacking player behind Martial.

Explain to me, what possible ******* reason would Van Gaal have to start Pereira over Mata, when Pereira can't even pull off better stats while playing against much inferior opponents in u21? Do you think Pereira's stats will improve if he plays against grown men instead of kids? Didn't think so.

Pereira is good, Mata is better. Pereira is benched, Mata is a starter. That's not unfair treatment, that's life.
 
This whole conversation blows my mind.

Pereira has 8 goals and 7 assists, so he basically is setting the world on fire, he has outgrown u21 and needs move higher up.

Mata has 9 goals, 7 asissts, so he isn't showing anything special in United shirt and he's largely in effective.

Christ Almighty. I'm done, this isn't good for my blood pressure.

This is why I don't like stats. Because it doesn't always give the true story or big picture.

Mata has scored this amount and assisted this amount so therefore he has been good enough this season to be undisputed starter in his position.

It's not at all like that if you watch the games, especially second half of season, he has had period of games throughout where you wouldn't know he is on the pitch and ineffective.

Which fan here genuinely thinks Mata has had a good season, I'd be surprised if we had many other than you, I really would.

Even if we take all of this into account, Pereira still deserved more opportunities, whether that be in league games or cup or whatever else.
 
Feel sorry for the u21s half empty stadium getting the trophy :((

Jose Mourinho's contract with #mufc is almost complete, the club are now finalising LvG's compensation/next steps. Announcement imminent.
 
Mata is and has been a better player than Peireira. When you account for stuff outside the stats this is massively more so, as Mata brings a link up and guile the youngster doesn't yet. If AP deserves more time, it should not be at the expense of a player who has actually been better than him all season.

I don't really care who it is at the expense of to be honest, for him only to have 2 starts this season is just pure madness. All our attacking players this season has been droppable and Mata is one of them.

I don't understand how you reckon Mata has been better than him, it's trying to compare someone hasn't been given a chance to show us what he can do to someone who has. You make it sound like Pereira has had time to show people, he hasn't with the game time in first team this season.
 
- Not giving youth a chance - *****.
- Giving youth a chance - *****, wrong ones.

You guys are great :)

He was never Uniteds best young player. Don't make stuff up.

At least United is best in the league when making other teams looking boring. Jesus, no tempo at all. Going to fall a sleep soon.
 
I know 19 goal was never on the cards but ******* ****, where is the effort? 1 free kick that Carrick of all people nearly gets on the end of in over half an hour. This is beyond a joke. I bet palace are ******** themselves

He was, going into this season at the start everyone wanted to see him and was singing his praises.

Who was better than him then? The infamous Januzaj or Rashford who no one hardly knew about. The only rival over him at the start of this season was Fosu-Mensah, but Pereira was rated highest of having a chance to shine this season.
