How can anyone want to kill that Rash-Martial combo by inserting Lukaku in ?
It's like a goldsmith making a pearl necklace with the finest jewels, and then putting a solid brick dead in the centre.

It's like a goldsmith making a pearl necklace with the finest jewels, and then putting a solid brick dead in the centre.The chemistry between Rash and Martial should have been a key part of our game-plan in the last 2 years. Instead we were launching the ball at big lumps.This Gunnerson getting away with it time after time... Oliver is a sh*tbagLink up between Rashford and Martial has been joy to watch today.Can United score 5?
They never score 5.Just incredible football, amazing how quickly it has changed around.For those more knowledgable than myself, where does Fred fit in this midfield?We've not parked the bus. What the feck is going on? We're actually carrying on with attacking football.
Yep, but he's too much of a weasel to punish them though.That no look pass was something else54 min
Pogba with a sight of goal from 20 yards, blocked.Ole is my favorite Norwegian after the guy who invented the cheese slicer.Hope Lukaku doesn’t start when he’s back. Rashford’s movement is so much better.Much better, we are faster, movement is better, even matic looks better, one slight criticism a couple of pogba passes have been a little sloppy and stray other than that he's done ok.Honestly we should look at selling Lukaku and bring in a RW
He obviously wants to go and mop Jose's brow.Rashford and Martial have been sublime together
I would say probably rotating with HerreraImagine a refreshed Sanchez in there.. playing with the attacking freedom he needs.
Ooh boy.
I'd have disagreed with you a few months back but now I'm starting to agree
Probably just next to Pogba in for Herrera or to replace Pogba when Pogba is out.Imagine a fully motivated Alexis Sanchez in this side...
We're a new midfielder and a new CB away from being a truly top side.55 min
Penalty to United!
Matic plays a ball into Lingard who dribbles past two into the box and Bamba bundles him over. Big chance for 4:1.
Hardly surprising coming from Luckhurst.Pace, off the ball movement, pressing and quick passing. I was convinced this team was incapable of play like that but apparently, all it took was to remove the negativity from the team.Remember when austerity hit and everyone started getting fecked over with their wages, pensions, public services etc? But eight years on people were looking at their shit stained trousers made out of old copies of The Sun, their one tin of beans that was meant to last them the whole week, and their cardboard box being blown over by the draft of Mr Moneybags' second new Merc he had bought that year and we said "Well, it's always been like this so what can you do?!" But deep down we knew that it wasn't always like this, we had just forgotten what it was like in the time before we had to give out gobbies around the back of the food bank for an electric meter card with a fiver stuck on it.
This feels exactly the same. After five years of tumescent shit, uncertainty and a lack of identity we've already hit the ground running with passion and intent.Umm. That’s not Sir Bobby Arlo.PENPenalty.penalty for us!!!Yeah babyPenalty!
He's a box to box midfielder. Put him in now and he can seamlessly fit in whoever you replace him with.YES!Oliver wasnt going to do it so Pogba took Gunnarson out . good man56 passes in 54 min
The Man United narrative has completely changed as far as the commentators are concerned.
Describing what they see in an entirely different way to how they would have if Mourinho was still in charge.Yesss nice little pass from Matic, give the pen to Dave!J LingzGreat play from Jesse there! Time for the good old Pogba penalty...Yep, definite penalty- Status
