The Manchester United Thread

Kinda odd that Jose didn't wait until halftime before making subs.

Everyone looked good, only Mensah with unlucky timing and positioning, but he's just got back from injury so I will accept that!

That left side tho, really fun and intersting to watch with Mitchell and Harrop!

Tuanzebes positioning a lot better this game and McTominay is a physical beast!
 
McTominey is nothing special. I'd like to see more of Mitchell and Harrop.

Has this proved that mourinho messed up by not playing youth in europa league and playing the same players? For me yes .

I don't think so. The youth talent look very good really, but remember this is an almost pointless game for us, and they were all playing for their careers today, to secure long term contracts, get attention from the manager, or secure themselves a good loan deal for next season.

I'm not taking anything away from the lads today, but they are in the youth squad for a reason.

And let's not forget, how can Mourniho mess up in the Europa, when we are in the final?

How? We're in the Europa League final. No guarantees the youth would've got us there, and certainly no guarantees we would've won the league by taking more focus away from Europe. Perhaps we could've been a bit closer to Chelsea, but what does it matter finishing 2nd, 3rd or 4th when we can qualify for the CL via trophy?

It's a nothing game for CP and this game means world to these United youngsters. And tbh, United were nothing special today as well, lets not kid ourself. Moment of brilliance from Pogba and Harrop and a great run from Lingard with a terrible pass which ended in a fluke goal.

NO! Demi Mitchell has all the ability to be developed into a top LB. Has a great attacking game, if he will keep developing on the defencive side he will be a top FB! Harrops always had the ability but his worry was how he would handle the step up. Proved he could today be it here or somewhere else on the Prem.

Still a lot better than what we've seen lately. At least Pogba had runners to aim for. We're too static lately bar Rashford, breath of fresh air to see the willingness and energy today
 
Boring 2nd half.. And Martial, out of confidence or just not interested? I can't tell :(
 
On a side note have to feel for Willock must have been only a few seconds away from making his debut before being delayed and then not able to get on
