As a manager, Harry Redknapp has faced Manchester United 15 times at Old Trafford in the Premier League (West Ham United, Tottenham Hotspur, Portsmouth, and QPR) and has yet to get a point.

Manchester United midfielder Ander Herrera, speaking to BBC Sport: "We are happy. It is our first game winning. I think we have been comfortable on the pitch. We kept the ball, we had a lot of chances and we let them make few chances. We are happy with this step but of course we have to improve. If we want to win trophies we have to improve still.

"The new players are top players, Di Maria, Falcao, Rojo, Blind, Shaw. We are looking forward to this season. This is our first step but it was important to win the game, we have a long week of work and if we win we have confidence."

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal: "Angel Di Maria has cramp. He should be ok. That is a good sign, it shows that he has given everything. When you make and score the first goal for yourself you cannot have played badly, but he gives the ball away unnecessarily sometimes.

"There are things we can improve upon, even Di Maria.

"I have been employed for more than 25 years and my teams are always focused on attack, but it is not our focus. The focus is to be in the first three so that we can qualify for the Champions League. The most important thing is the trajectory.

"We have to play in a certain style and we have to improve our qualifications and I hope that at the end of the this year to be manager of the champions of England, if not this, then in the second or third year."

Andy, Royton: The big teams will score against Man United, no doubt about that. Can United score more than they'll concede? Six goals in five games against QPR, MK Dons, Burnley and Swansea would suggest not. Work to be done, let's not get carried away!

QPR fan Andy on 606: "That was just depressing, Louis van Gaal's wife should thank Harry Redknapp for her birthday present."

The 606 lines are open. You might want to talk about Manchester United's assault on the top four. Wrighty believes they will at the expense of Liverpool.

Louis van Gaal also confirms that all of his new signings are having English lessons and "shall learn within one year to be fluent."

Louis van Gaal reiterates the fact that he ditched a back three today as Chris Smalling and Phil Jones were out injured. "I was more or less forced to play with four defenders," he says.

Watch this space.

The last game of the weekend comes up tomorrow night as Hull face West Ham.

Steve Bruce - linked with replacing Alan Pardew at Newcastle over the weekend - has nearly as many new players at his disposal as Louis van Gaal. Hull could well be the new entertainers in town too, they have Hatem Ben Arfa and Gaston Ramirez in the mix now of course.

Barry Healy:, external It was a very good display. If that's how they line up and play for the rest of the season, we will be in for some great games.

Kieran Evans:, external United played QPR. I think everyone's forgetting the MK Dons game..?

Ollie Tissington:, external QPR didn't play well to be fair, and the gaps in Manchester's defence at times were bad. If they played a team like Man City or Chelsea they would get destroyed.

QPR manager Harry Redknapp talking to the BBC:

"A few minutes before half time we were 1-0 down and still bang in the game. To come in at 3-0 down, when our keeper has not had a shot to save..... If you have ever played in a team 3-0 down at half time it is very difficult. You have to make sure you don't get beat by six or seven.

"A difficult day, I expected it and we got one.

"Leroy Fer is not fit, Sandro got a bit of cramp where he's not played many games. I still feel confident we will be ok."

Stoke, Southampton, West Ham, Liverpool and Aston Villa. That's the next five games for QPR as they try and stay out of the bottom three in the Premier League. Harry Redknapp is confident they will survive.

QPR manager Harry Redknapp: "To be honest we came in and found ourselves 1-0 with five minutes until half-time. I thought if we came in at half time at 1-0 we'd be still in the game but we gave away two goals and came in at 3-0 despite Rob Green barely having a save to make.

"You know it is going to be tough at 3-0. You don't want to get beat six or seven and it be demoralising.

"Some of our players need games. They need to get fit. But that is the problem with the international break. But we need to get them fit and playing."

Rob, London: Fear Factor? Let's not run before we can walk. QPR didn't look interested and were truly awful.

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal talking to the BBC:

"This is special because it is also the birthday of my wife. I have already given her a present but she said the biggest present shall be the victory. We give it to her.

"I think we can do much better. I said let's make a new start. All the new players are playing.

"We have very intelligent players. The most important thing is not the system but the philosophy. Tyler Blackett is a little bit lucky because a lot of central defenders are injured. He made a very good performance but there are also other defenders still to come."

Harry Redknapp says QPR midfielder Sandro came off with a tight calf but he needs to get match fit.

Allan McDevitt:, external One can only hope that Di Maria-Herrera-Blind becomes the regular midfield. Amazing what a bit of pace does.

Phil Ecstasy:, external Am guessing by the end of the season Fabregas and Di Maria will be contending for player with most assists.

Joe Wedgwood:, external Utd must build on this. Everyone stepped up their game today. Herrera and Blind unsung heroes, Di Maria world class. Rojo solid.

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal: "When you have a result of 4-0 then you can be happy as a coach but you always have points you can improve. I am very happy because of the result and the way we have played. We were very dominant and scored goals and kept a clean sheet.

"In ball possession I think we have lost too much the ball previously. We were more direct and that I like. Also, we have created a lot of chances, although we didn't score enough of them.

"We have always to analyse what we have done. The result is fantastic but we can get much better. This is a good start."

Louis van Gaal is out in front of the cameras - unsurprisingly he is pretty happy with his side's display but believes there is more to come.

"It's a very good start," he says.
