    Ok, Martial and Pogba have no excuses at all. They score one, we score two. They score two....Well, that's the general idea, let's go!!!:devil:
     
    Looking forward to seeing Rashford through the middle and the shackles off. Think @Rood is too. :D

    He's not been great but someone online a few days ago posted some stats that showed Matic was actually able to move, contrary to rumours he was so old if he did move, he would instantly turn into dust.

    Moving(covering lot of distance) isn't the same as being explosive, being able to mark your players and stop them from dribbling through midfield. There are lot of older players who are covering lot of distance, most in their team, but their pressing attributes are nowhere near.
     

    Kick-off

    And this hugely anticipated match is underway. The (short term) reign of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer begins just days after the dismissal of Jose Mourinho. What can we expect under the new management? I don't think we're suddenly going to see a transformed team, but let's hope we can get this new era off to a winning start to continue the wave of optimism sweeping around the club this week.
    Just put a bloody shift in each and every one of you. Act like the club actually matters to you.
     
    He's basically had no time to train with the team. Todays perforamnce should be pretty much all on the players and their natural ability.
     
    The team selection is basically the same as what Jose was choosing. No doubt Carrick and McKenna had influence, here.
    But let's see how we actually play.

    Gunnarsson with an early long throw into the box which Jones does well to intercept and we immediately look to break but Cunningham gets across to cut off the ball to Lingard.

    Jose lost his job because of a lot more than that.

    No doubt but I still find it incredible how different Matic looked from Chelsea's title win to Jose's sacking.

    And he's basically done it again with us. Is he Jose's barometer or is Jose his.
     
    You know, from certain angles there's a hint of David Moyes about Ole. Continuing the traditions and all that.
     

    3 min

    Pogba with quick feet 30 yards from goal and he wins a free-kick quite centrally. Early shooting chance?
    Who’d have thought that more players in their half would result in more passing options?
     
    You can already see our forward runs are different.

    Three men all trying to bomb forward into the box after that turnover.
     
    Man Utd Goal - Marcus Rashford (3')
    Intent made, look how far up the back line is and where our fullbacks are.

    Goal for Manchester United

    Marcus Rashford
    What a start!!

    Rashford blasts the free-kick through the wall and it leaves Etheridge flat footed and flies like an arrow into the corner.

    That'll do :lol:
