    A little bit sloppy at times, but hopefully that's down to the rotation. Regardless of the opposition, it's been a good half, bit worried about Collyer at LB. Hopefully Ugarte is fine.

    Ugarte is clearly not the type of player who is able to dial it down. All or nothing. I’d take him off at HT before he gets himself sent off or injured.

    Nah he's been fine, the type of fouls he gives away are those annoying small ones the likes of city do. Plus as the half has gone on he has gotten more into the game, so its going good so far.
     
    I'd get Zirkzee & Wheatley on for Rashford & Ugarte.
     
    3-0, all forwards scored, that's as good as it gets! Get through the next half with no injuries and that's pretty much perfect.
     
    Couldn't ask for much more. Hopefully some players use this to gain some form.
     
    Most pleasing thing about that first half was the build up to Rashfords goal. That’s building up from the back as you want to see it.
    Really solid first half and should do our forwards the world of good getting amongst the goals.
     
    What’s the odds we take our foot of the pedal 2nd half? Let’s score 6+ goals!
     
    We are progressing for sure. Still a messy display at times but we are better organized and find eachother better in attack. Nice to see Eriksen and Rashford looking switched on here

    Probably just first start nerves and acclimatization. He's not rusty, he had two back to back 90 min appearances on international break

    True yeah I did say rusty in the context of acclimatising to a new team - He's grown into it though, got a few good interceptions in around the last 25 mins. He's going to be a great player for this team.
     
    Nice half. Nothing too special. Rashford quality goal and looks decently sharp. Garnacho with a great switch and lovely finish (after that horrendous feck up of a pass to Eriksen). Antony meh, but at least he put away the pen.

    Dalot might have been my favorite watch that half though. Been everywhere, put in some great crosses in the box, dribbling and passing through Barnesly's press, and in general just looks a class above.
     
    How are Barnsley constantly getting done by balls in behind at OT? It is brave to try and come out and play but also super dumb, pretty much perfect for how Utd want the game to go.

    Ok performance, a bit untidy at times, too many fouls early on, but some good play as well, front 3 have all done well and Cas is getting plenty of chances to show his passing range. Not really a game for Ugarte to excel, been a bit hasty too engage at times, giving away fouls, but like his mobility and energy, though as expected his passing could be more ambitious.
     
    I’d get Wheatley on but Zirkzee could do with a goal. I’d keep the defence and the midfield out for 90 other than whoever he’s gonna start out of case/Eriksen/Ugarte at the weekend

    Bring JZ and Amad on at the 65-70 minute mark. Would like to see Collyer get more of a midfield run out too but don't think he will with how thin our fullback options are.

    It’s the perfect game for Amass. All I can think is he’s got a knock as well.
     
    Hate to say it but that was still a really difficult watch despite us scoring 3

    Some good individual performances tonight but I think Dalot has been excellent.

    Agreed. Some people has forgotten how good he is at right back since Mazraoui came in. It is nice having two good players for that position.
     
    Not enough kids on the bench..
    Hope Wheatley gets some meaningful minutes.. at least 30..
     
    Pretty much what we expected. Nice to see our front 3 all with a goal this evening.

    Don’t do anything silly 2nd half please.
     
    Weird thing with Rashford in the box is I feel he's better on 1 on 1s when he's on the right
