Rashford is looking confident.
I am loving this high-press as well, plus it's working really well.Loving our pressing."We need McGuire to play attacking footbal"l. Shame on you Mourinho and your disciples.
We're missing MartialWhoa, Jones played the offside trap. Get in.
Yeah. When managers depart , players usually up the tempo , but i didn't expect this much of a domination, movement, class.Lingard not great...
hidesSome cross Dalot.Crossing from the left wing, shooting from the right. Rashford deserves a goal, cracking first hald performance.Hunting the ball together. Love it!Miles miles miles better so far than anything under Mourinho this season.For the first time in years, although we lack a bit of quality up front, it feels like we have a United team.Our players are actually being coached, it's a beautiful thing to see
Rashford noooo.
2 1/2 years? You have forgotten the Moyes' epic match against Fulham with our 137 crosses?Rashford looks like he's woken up out of a coma45+1 min
Mata sends Dalot into space on the right and his deep cross to the far post has to be punched clear by Lossl.fecking pass it RashfordWould love to see Pereira in this team.
Hope he gets some meaningful minutes and not just 5 minutes at the end.Rashford should have passed to Pogba right thereWtf Fred?45+1 min
More good pressure from us sees Pogba win the ball and Rashford pops up on the left this time, cutting into the box and shooting straight at Lossl.Our shooting this game has been really poor and straight at the keeper. Really hope we dont get punished for it45+1 min
Injury Time
One minute added on.
And LVG? Champagne football that was not.Silly from Fred.Rashford could really improve as a player if he learned to be a bit more selfless.Fred...Fred careless. Could’ve cost usHT 1-0We deserved the second goal. Fecking all over themFred still finding out this isnt ukraine league anymoreI reckon we've had more shots on goal in this first half than we've had in any other 90 minutes at Old Trafford so far this season.We have a right back that can cross...yay!Tempus fugitEven Matic plays some attacking football. But Fred needs to improve alot.FFS Rashford had so many options. Why shoot from an impossible angle?Rashford being greedy is a good sign, like a true striker.Half-time (45+2')
Would love to see him on for Fred.45+2 min
Late chance in the half for Billing as he gets in behind Fred. It's a good crossing position in the box but he goes for the shot at the near post and sends it into the side netting. Good opportunity there.45+2 min
Half-time
We lead 1:0 at the break and deservedly so. We've been the dominant team, probing away at the Huddersfield defence from the word go although the visitors have defended resolutely and enjoyed a few threatening moments of their own.
We've shown plenty of patience and good movement off the ball, with players switching positions regularly, trying to work openings. In the end our goal was a simple one from a corner, with Matic getting a rare goal, tapping in from close range.
Huddersfield are bound to push on more in the second-half leaving more space for us to attack. Hopefully more goals to come for us.

Huddersfield 7C'mon Fred.I know Rashford should have passed it there but I am loving his mentality. Anyone that has see Kane play has also seen how Kane takes ridiculous shots from outside.Rashford really is overly greedy. I like how he's playing with such confidence, though.We’ve played well again. Love how high we push and press. Our movement off the ball is so so good too. Fred is abit hit and miss though - his passing is nice and crisp but some of his first touches and positioning is very bad.What a half.- Status
