The Manchester United Thread

Lol the two comments were very contradictory

But yeah, we're all over them. They had a few shots out of context, nothing clear-cut but two good saves.
 
Lukaku's 1 goal away from hitting double figures this season. It's September ffs.

Early team release. So, 3-4-3. Not a fan but that front 3..

They've all been immense, and they've all got on the scoresheet. Really enjoyable. As TOD said, take Martial, and in particular, Mkhi & Lukaku off soon for a deserved rest.
 
Expect Rashford to start at the weekend, so Martial might get the full 90. Young taken off, suggests he'll play LB again vs Palace.
 
Gonna be my only gripe tonight. No need for Rashford to come on! Especially for Martial, Lukaku has looked a bit leggy the last 10 mins.

Maybe coz Martial limping?

Would've liked to take Lukaku off tbh. Reminds me of the Pogba incident last season; should've been taken off in a sealed game, left on & injured.

Obviously there's that risk in every match you play, just in rare scenarios like this, you have a gift to do take off & protect.

Fourth time we've scored 4+ goals this season. It's still September...

They nick a nice consolation, but let's not let that distract you from the fact United have scored 4+ goals five times this season.

STILL only September.
 
Perfect night tbh. Squad players given vital mins. Players rested. Lots of goal. Pure domination. No injuries. Played in 3rd gear all night. Just poor to concede at the end like that, but meh we’ve completely switched off. Very good Away performance! Bring on Palace(6)
 
On another note Bayern were absolutely terrible tonight! Thought Atletico were playing Real Madrid the way they were camped in there box. Could be a resurgence for the Prem teams in CL this season.
 
TOD, did you see the team selection? Script was written before they got on the pitch.

Hummels, Robben, Ribery, Rafinha all on the bench.
 
told you guys it would be a tight game ending in a draw haha so glad i was wrong and even more pleased at how much more clinical we are this season although cska defended terribly
 
No Jones or Carrick again for Palace. Fellaini hopeful says Mourinho. Wouldn’t risk anyone who has a slight knock. Including Martial.

Robben and Ribery are done tbh. Losing Neuer is a lot bigger deal.
 
Might be on the way out, but still provide width & big game experience. Seen Ribery earlier this season, fit as a fiddle for his age. reminds me of Giggs in that manner. Was up and down the pitch & helping his full-back. Perfect José winger :D Robben can still give you that moment of decisive magic
