Manchester United fans take plenty of positives from impressive victory at Everton

Manchester United recorded an impressive 3-0 victory at Everton, roaring back into form following their defeat at Arsenal.

Goodison Park has been somewhat of a bogey-ground for United, with the club having lost on their previous three visits to the stadium. With news of former manager Howard Kendall's death breaking not long before kick-off, the home fans were slightly subdued. United took control in the first half, with goals from Morgan Schneiderlin and the returning Ander Herrera making it 2-0 at the break. Although Everton looked much improved in the second half, a United break saw Wayne Rooney score against his former team, ending the scoring and ensuring the away team head into a mouth-watering Manchester derby with the wind in their sails. Perhaps the biggest talking point amongst Manchester United supporters was the involvement of Ander Herrera. Louis van Gaal's reluctance to play the Spaniard has baffled the United faithful on many occasions, but his performance at Goodison - in place of Memphis Depay - should surely underline his value to his manager. There were plenty that admired Herrera's display... https://twitter.com/fulltimedevils/status/655407868632539137 https://twitter.com/habiba309/status/655414241206366209 https://twitter.com/jonny_isaacs/status/655414492042559488 https://twitter.com/alexshawespn/status/655403648130883584 ... and others that admired his looks... https://twitter.com/jardineadam/status/655414518319882240 The absence of Memphis didn't seem to concern many observers either. https://twitter.com/nadim_utd/status/655414946105307136 With some pointing out that Anthony Martial posed more of a threat on the wing than the Dutchman. https://twitter.com/chukaobi/status/655417207850180608 And speaking of Wayne Rooney, his performance at Goodison didn't convince everyone that he was worthy of a place in the team, despite passing Andy Cole's league goal tally for the club.... https://twitter.com/ordinaryk/status/655418408406765568 But nevertheless, Rooney has his first away goal since November 2014 and his first at Goodison since 2007. United's next task is an away game against CSKA Moscow in the Champions League, and it will be interesting to see Van Gaal's selections against the Russian side.
