FT: MANCHESTER UNITED 0 - 2 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

[William Treseder]

Whats that got to do with the manager, who picks the team and decides on substitutes. He wanted to win the game and M-Laing was obviously tiring. If he had left him on and they had scored two or more in the last ten minutes, no doubt you would be complaining that he should have substituted him earlier.

Getting 3 points was a week too late. Giving a Cardiff City player a chance to become the 1st to score a hat trick at Old Trafford was the better option for me.

How would you have felt if Manchester United had salvaged something from the game due to the fact that they'd managed to exploit a tiring player?
You could argue that there was nothing riding on this game for us, however, look at the feel-good factor that win has given us, we can take that psychological edge with us into next season.

The bigger picture was us coming away from Old Trafford with a win.
