After promising so much of a revolution, and investing so much in a new system that would be the end to Man Utd's much publicised problems of last season under David Moyes, Louis Van Gaal opened his United account with a loss. The Red Devils were undone by injuries ahead of the game that led to surprising starts for Jesse Lingard, Javier Hernandez and Tyler Blackett, and during, as Lingard went off after 23 minutes, and shipped two goals to lose for the first time at home on an opening game since 1990. Those goals - from Ki Sung Yueng and Gylfi Sigurdsson showed the problems Van Gaal faces with so few first choice defensive options, and though he was billed as the key to bringing in new signings, United simply have not addressed the problems. Inevitably, almost as soon as the final whistle went and Swansea were confirmed as victors, the tide of trolling began, including from some recognisable names.
Jose Enrique Puts The Boot In
