    Thank goodness Sanchez is sitting on the bench. We can't have him assisting Brighton. Martial better seize this chance and perma-bench Alexis.

    Just checked. He's out of the squad all together. Pretty unforgiving from Mourinho :lol:

    Imagine calling Juan Mata useless and not getting deserved abuse for it.

    He’s become a completely pointless player these last few seasons (hoping for a MotM performance and a hat trick after saying that :D).
     
    I really was hoping that we could start transitioning Rashford to play on the right wing. I like Mata but he is limiting this team and I really hope the plan is not to have him there the entire season.

    Mata on the RW > Rashord on the RW
     
    I wanted Rashford on the RW but it's still a good team. Mata is too slow.
     

    Fred, Pereira and Pogba

    Who else is excited to be seeing more of this trio?

    Second game of the season and we have this utter bollocks already.
     
    That is a lot of creativity in our starting 11. Fred, Pereira, Pogba and Mata :drool:
     
    Think I got 10/11 didn't have Young in the side.
     
    Jamie Redknapp: "I don't see how this relationship between Pogba and Jose can get patched up. It will end in tears."

    He's such a wanker. :lol:
     
    Big call to play Shaw and Martial, performances needed from both.

    It’s strange that I’m relieved/pleased to see Young start at RB.
     
    Still refusing to give Pogba any credit on Sky and somehow Jamie Redknapp knows that Jose and Pogba will never like each other...
     
    The last time we played against Brighton, we lost.

    But, there is some hope...

    MOTD COMMENTATOR'S NOTES
    Jonathan Pearce: Brighton's 1-0 win over United in May came through the cohesive spirit and buoyant optimism that characterised their season. Conversely, Jose Mourinho's post-match criticism of his players typified the disgruntled, divisive mood that seems to have festered on.

    But that victory is Brighton's only success in 11 league and cup games. They were disturbingly poor at Watford.

    Does Souness really believe Pogba said that about his agent? A former manager himself? I suppose it’s the same man who gave Ali Dia those minutes. Clearly gullible.
     
    Nothing has happened to Mourinho he is just starting to drown out the bollocks from the press with actual quotes rather than assumed bullshit.
     
    I muted the build up the moment they switched to the studio. I'm sure whatever Souness and Redknapp are saying was entirely predictable and not worth listening to. Hate it when they're on Utd game duty.
     

    Mourinho on the decision to start Martial

    "It is a big opportunity [for him]. We know him well and can always expect big things from him. We'll try to help and he's been working well. Alexis was going to play but he had a problem. We believe that Lukaku can't play for 90 minutes so the decision was to protect Rashford for that situation and give Anthony the opportunity to play."

    Today is Martial's 100th start for United. Nearly half of those starts (45) were in his first season at the club.
    Christ, Mata again. So no threat at all down the right hand side, again.

    No wonder we're so predictable to set up against. Anyway, c'mon lads - 0-1 or 0-2, probably the former.

    Yeah, he’s turned into a tit but when his missus would prefer to suck on one rather than his dick you can’t help but feel for him.
