Di Maria and Herrera on target

AFTER a summer spending spree of US$250 million, the good times just might be on their way back at Manchester United.

To the backdrop of fans chanting “We’re going to win the league,” United beat Queens Park Rangers 4-0 on Sunday to end its winless start to the Premier League season with a result and performance that may be seen as the true beginning to the Louis van Gaal era.

Angel Di Maria and Ander Herrera scored their first goals for United, Wayne Rooney added a third before the break and Juan Mata also found the net to give Van Gaal his first win in five competitive matches in charge.

All that was missing for a home crowd that rediscovered its full voice was a goal for Radamel Falcao. He came on as a substitute in the 67th minute for his debut in a season-long loan from Monaco but missed a close-range chance.
