The Manchester United Thread

United vs Leeds never fails to disappoint. I would like Sancho to come in for Dan James in the 2nd half tho.
 
Nice hattrick for Bruno, there was always going to be goals in this game after all however, it is not an indicator for the rest of the season seeing as Leeds let in a few against United last season...
 
That was a fantastic start to the League campaign, especially against a rival. Almost all of the players looked really good. Heck, if this is the version of Lindelof we get this season, it bodes really, really well.

wan Bissaka needs to improve his attacking output (was atleast making a couple of runs, which was good), Martial obviously was rusty. Greenwood was fantastic, along with Fernandes. And Pogba. If he continues this form consistently through the season, I don't even care if he is leaving on a free. This is more the version of Pogba we have seen for France. And, as the commentators were pointing out, repeatedly (in between the odd comment about his hair color), he has already increased his assist output from last year.
 
S H I T E! Sell Pogba, sack Ole, close OT, Bruno is a peno merchant 😋

What a way to start the season and lay a marker down on the 1st weekend. Not bad considering the players missing! Good bit of in game management by Ole bringing Pogba more central and moving Fred left for parts of the game.

Tbh we most probably left 4 gls out there. Everyone was class today apart from one instance when Pogba switched off for the goal.
 
Bielsa...I'm not sure how daft that fellow must be trying to replicate the same system that got you a thumping against United last season in hopes of getting a different result? I understand sticking with your principles but you've got to be more pragmatic than giving united all the space in the world in midfield.

With that said, notice how solid we were from set pieces today? Hope that trend continues.

Yeah was thinking the same. The new coach must be doing some good hopefully it continues. Read before the match we conceded 7 games straight at OT towards the end of the season from set pieces. Also we didn’t win at OT since the end of November last season.
 
So I saw nothing of the game. (Commitment most of the morning through dinner I couldn't get out of.).

But I'm mooching around looking at a few things ...... Leeds fans singing about Sancho and Rashford letting the Country down ? 🤦🏼‍♂️

Seriously, football 'fans' can be proper sad scumbags. And they are right up there among the saddest.

It would be really hilarious if signing Varane would have Lindelof playing like Beckanbauer lol.

I saw that before the game. Fair to say I got a certain level of satisfaction seeing Fred put a fifth goal past them lol.
 
Watched the match back. Just focusing mainly on Greenwood. His runs and especially his movement was absolute top class. Defo learning a thing or 2 off Cavani.

Yeah, he has improved massively in that regard. Plus, that finish was beautiful. Martial needs to do the same.
