Real Madrid – Javier Hernandez Can Finally Smile
One goal this late in a season shouldn’t, but it still might change the perception of what has been overall a horrible experience for Javier Hernandez with Real Madrid, before his loan deal ends and he heads back to Manchester United and an unknown future.

Manchester United – Louis van Gaal Knows He Has Work to do
Reality hit Manchester United and it’s manager, Louis van Gaal, in the face on the opening match of the new Premier League season. Wayne Rooney did score a goal, but it was far from enough against an alleged inferior opponent. The combination of new and changing tactics, young and ill-positioned players with similar problems to those from last season resulted in a terribly disappointing performance.

Adnan Januzaj & Chicharito Continue the Manchester United Diving Tradition
Even with Ashley Young out of the lineup, there doesn’t seem to be any cease to the proud diving tradition he established at Manchester United, with Javier Hernandez and Adnan Januzaj trying to emulate the master in the loss to Manchester United, without really succeeding.

Manchester United – Robin van Persie Can’t Be This Wasteful
When Ashley Young keeps lowering the bar for cheating and diving and Marouane Fellaini has yet another awful performance for Manchester United, Robin van Persie should be one of the players David Moyes trusts with his eyes closed.

Manchester United – Adnan Januzaj Proves He’s a Real Star
Among the few things that David Moyes has managed to get right early in his tenure as Manchester United manager is the belief in Adnan Januzaj, who doesn’t look like your ordinary wonderkid, full of potential but also of youthful faults. At 18, the Belgian winger seems quite prepared to be a big-time playmaker for the club, playing in a mature and calm way that’s really rare for a teenager taking his first steps on the football pitch.

Manchester United – Chicharito and Shinji Kagawa Deserve Better
Maybe this is the match that will make David Moyes understand some thing about this Manchester United team it has taken him too long to. Shinji Kagawa isn’t a left winger, no matter how much his manager wants him to be. Javier Hernandez needs to be on the pitch in those final moments and probably more. His kind of scoring ability is something that just can’t be taught.
