Gomes on 30 seconds later fantastic ball over the top Burkart should of scored!

 

[Mike.]

Worrying, Shaw really has to take his next opportunity, or we'll definitely buy another LB if not in January defo summer. Should of been last summer arguably.

I make that 5 managers who have said that about him now

Seriously though, you knew it's a gamble when you gave an 18-year old more money per week than his parents probably make in 5 years.

Dont know how a couple of their players haven't been booked at the very least. The standard of refereeing at this level is awful sometimes.

EVERY level.

We had a complete divvy Sat'day who even managed to mess up the minutes silence!

He blew and the whole ground goes quiet as he's stood there with the players. Then he blows again and everyone starts applauding, only to quickly realise this was the silence. Again.

Totally surreal. You seriously couldn't make this **** up.

Yes Kevin Friend. I'm talking about you!

Good chance Scott McTominay and Anthony Martial will start tonight. Antonio Valencia and Phil Jones expected to be rested. #mufc

Manchester United


@ManUtd
The #MUFC team to face Benfica in tonight's #UCL meeting...

 

[Theatre of dreams]

Martial on fire Terrible peno though

 

[Theatre of dreams]

Great save by DDG!

 

[Scouseinthehouse]

Kind of apt justice given Benfica should have had a penalty seconds before the other end. (The poor Martial peno.).

 

[Theatre of dreams]

Great strike from Matic. Unlucky for the GK!

 

[RhQQ]

Surprised the post is still standing. What a hit

 

[hughesman]

Genuinely feel bad for the GK, didn't deserve that

 

[Vanjagl]

Poor keeper, some of the worst things it can happen to you and both came against United.

 

[Scouseinthehouse]

How incredibly unlucky for Benfica and the young 'keeper again. Deserve to be level at the very least. But you don't often get what you deserve in this game and Utd are now sitting all but qualified HT.

I was about to say you need to replace the young lad midfield as the games completely passing him by but now I'd leave him out there for the experience. Bailey needs to settle too. He's been all over the show back there.

 

[Theatre of dreams]

Think McTominay has been good at breaking up play.

 

[Scouseinthehouse]

Mata sighting!

 

[RhQQ]

I missed first 15 or so, but McTominay definitely had a good game, imo. First ever European start? Did himself no harm. Kept it tidy, contributed some decent, progressive passes, and was sound in that deeper first half role.



I chuckled at the fact Scouse 'advising' (if you will) Jose to take off a young player lol. One of your beefs with Jose is the opposite

 

[Theatre of dreams]

Blind like the wind

 

[Scouseinthehouse]

Boneheaded, lazy defending costs Benfica in a game they deserved far more.

And that was that.

 

[Theatre of dreams]

Herrera has gave us control since coming. Good CL debut by McTominay. Another clean sheet. More mins for Bailly come no back from time out. Job done qualification. Martial MOTM.
