Loan Greetings: Angelo Henriquez

Looks like our boys have a league of their own though playing in different countries. It started with Lingard's four goals in one match  then Powell answered with a double and Henriquez recorded a double on Sunday as Real Zaragoza won 4-2 against Mallorca.

Angelo started the match, scoring two goals in four minutes (40' and 44') picked a yellow at the 59th minute and was subbed at minute 66.

With four goals from five appearances, the 19 years old is Zaragoza's top goal scorer in the second division Spanish League followed by Victor Rodriguez who has three goals from eight appearances.

 

Keep the Red Flag Flying high Angelo.

Shakhtar Donetsk: A cold point

Picture perfect.

We would all have loved 3 points but a point is not so  bad. As group standings, we are second to Shakhtar but we have same points and same goal difference. On 23rd this month we will host Real Sociedad and Shakhtar will host Bayer Leverkusen.

Our next opponents are yet to win a match. They suffered a 0-2 home defeat to Shakhtar and lost 1-0 to Leverkusen. Bring on Real Sociedad.

Rooney picked another injury during training! It doesn't seem to be serious as Moyes planned to use him as a sub but decided against it as to not risk any further complications. Moyes also promised that Rooney will be ready for a trip to Sunderland this week end. And this time it was Welbeck. Does Welbz have a magic touch like Jones? Only time will tell....

Yokohama F. Morinos vs Manchester United: Sponsored by Shinji Kagawa

If you watched the game you will understand why I say the it was sponsored by Kagawa! If AON were aware of the attention Kagawa would get, they would have tattooed AON on his forehead and not bother with branding the jerseys and the stadium!

Moyes' First BIG win

In case you did not watch the game let me make it worse for you, you missed one hell of a game!

Imagine Welbeck scoring twice! Yeah, it was that good!

It is always good to see players showing massive talents and giving it their all but when those players are not even considered old enough to be in the first team, it is way more special. I am talking about the amazing Lingard, the super talented Januzaj and that Keane boy! Doesn't look to have the moods of the other Keane, which is a good thing especially with how soft football has become.
