77 min: United just have to keep the ball now to tire and frustrate Yeovil but the away side are giving it away too easily. Blackett sends a hopeful and aimless ball forward which allows Nugent to collect and start another Yeovil attack.

Michaelbutler18 am I the only one who tinks LVG liks tinkering with his teams?how many times has he used 2 or more subs ?Tinker Van,anyone?

You have to say his tinkering has worked on this occasion. They’ve looked a lot better in this second half.

75 min: United counter-attack and McNair gets forward for the first time down the right hand side. It’s a low cross, which catches the Yeovil defence off-balance, and Rooney arrives late but his shot is skewed high and wide. Rooney looks to the heavens, you would have expected him to at least hit the target.

73 min: Herrera is dispossessed in midfield by Foley and he releases Moore, who is one-on-one with Smalling. There is no real intent with his dribble, and he is forced inside into traffic. If only he had been more direct with his running.

71 min: Eaves miscontrols on the left, but manages to win a corner off McNair. It is flicked on at the near post, and Edwards dives in for a header at the back post. Cleared off the line by Di Maria!

69 min: Twumasi gets his feet in a muddle on the edge of his own box, and Di Maria pickpockets him before being brought down. Rooney is over the free kick, just to the left of the goal – we have seen him bury so many from here over the years, but he curls it over the bar. Poor.

80 min: Co-commentator Michael Owen keeps talking about “pass appreciation.” Anyone got any idea what that means?

78 min: Giggs comes off the United bench and shouts “keep the ball!” Yep.

86 min: United have heeded Giggs’s advice, they are keeping the ball. Yeovil’s midfield are knackered, and who can blame them.

Di María 2

GOAL! Yeovil 0-2 Manchester United (Di Maria 90)

There is that Danny Murphy goal I was talking about...

88 min: Free-kick for Yeovil. They are throwing everyone forward for this, a set-piece looks like their best chance now.

87 min: Yeovil bring on two subs: Berrett for Dawson and experienced forward James Hayter on for Foley. Kitchen sink time.

Full Time Utd 2

5.24pm 17:24
Blackett wins the first ball from the Yeovil free kick and Rooney has time to get his head up. What follows next is clinical – nearly every Yeovil player is forward so Rooney hits a quiet magnificent pass lofted over Yeovil’s one-man defence. Di Maria races clear, and dinks it over the oncoming Steer. Game over.

Full-time: Yeovil 0-2 Manchester United

It could have been so different if Moore had buried that chance at 0-0!

90+2 min: The wind has visibly been knocked out of Yeovil. United could make it three, with a swerving shot from Herrera on the edge, but Steer is able to palm it away.

Hongera UTD.

Rafael na shaw injury tena daaah walah gundu limeibuka tna 2015

 

[mfarisayo]

[h=1]Rafael and Shaw injured at Yeovil[/h]Louis van Gaal has explained his half-time substitutions at Yeovil Town were both down to injury as Rafael and Luke Shaw were forced off during Manchester United's 2-0 win at Huish Park.
The Brazilian has a suspected fractured cheekbone, while England international Shaw sustained an ankle problem. The defensive pair did not reappear after half-time of the FA Cup third-round tie, with the Reds bringing on Juan Mata and Jonny Evans and reverting to a flat back-four.
In addition to Rafael and Shaw's injuries, Paddy McNair played for the much of the game with a bandage around his head following an aerial with Yeovil's Kieffer Moore, but the centre-back was able to battle through the full 90 minutes.
"Rafa has a fracture, so it's not looking good, and Shaw has an ankle problem," the manager told MUTV. "I had to change, and I don't have more defenders, so I have to change the shape also.
"Rafael had a fresh injury so it was fantastic that he had the guts to play through. He has a fantastic mentality, it's unbelievable. But I had to change him and Shaw because they aren't 100 per cent fit.
"I put a midfielder extra in and, because of that, maybe we had more ball possession in the second half, and we had more patience.
