  Cardiff with a rare chance and it's nearly a goal. Zahore picks out Murphy just inside the box who goes for the curling shot into the corner but De Gea gets down very well to safe. Corner to Cardiff.

  I think Lindelof should get a go in midfield. I honestly think he wouldn't be bad.

  Mou was simply building the wrong type of team for modern football. All those selections with trees in midfield playing dinosaur long ball football. You need mobility, movement off the ball, variation and energy.
  
  His infatuation with Lukaku was holding the rest of the attackers back, can you imagine Martial playing these little one twos off Rom?

  Jose did say that he wanted a ball playing defender, who could bring the ball out of defence. He chose Lindelof for that role and he was right.
  Great stuff from Lindelof.

  Absolutely. lightest of touches, but it touched him. Rookie mistakes from the refs when we've got VAR etc.

  Those saying that it's only Cardiff are right, they are proper shite. But, there is zero chance we'd have played like this today under Jose, I'm absolutely certain of that. Not the goals, but the high press and the movement. That's definitely a massive positive.
  
  I'd love to see a comparison of distance covered today versus any other game this season. No one is rooted to their position out there. Everyone passes and then immediately moves, which is football 101, but we didn't do it under Jose.

  Its the fact its the first time in years we've been able to say, it's just Cardiff.

  Lindelof bursting through midfield and putting Rashford through on goal? That's not logical.

  Bamba meets the corner but we get it away and immediately counter attack and are back in control again. Our confidence, speed of play and movement is such a joy to watch compared to what we've become used to under Mourinho (and dare I say mangers that preceded him too).

  One clear tactical difference is that the CBs can push up and run past midfield. Victor Lin looks good. Of course Cardiff is pretty poor but this approach looks good. Opposing teams will now really press our CBs so we will see if they can pass the next test.

  This is so refreshing to see. Normally the way we play, we give the opposition a glimmer of hope and let them take a foothold on the game. But today, we’ve snatched the souls of everyone wearing blue. They look dejected.

  I don't think VAR can be used in the EPL. And in any case, I doubt that VAR would've been used for that.

  ...and Matic playing clever through balls, Jones looking confident and composed, United attacking at 4-1.

  Think that’s what Mou bought him for, but never had the trust in VL to use him like that.

  We don't need him to. We need defenders confident enough to do exactly what we've just seen.

  I feel justified standing behind Lindelof. He’s always been our best CB this season - and had the most potential.

  Even as someone who stuck by Jose this is refreshing to watch. Cardiff are dire but that takes nothing away from our performance.

  Modern football requires CBs and FBs to do that, you can see that in every top team. Ole is obviously not a proven manager, but even he gets it, which is a damning indictment of the 3 managers we hired.
