You're saying the goal isn't coming. We've gone close multiple times, so it is. Patience is what is required, no need to be nervous

the goal isn't coming as in we have not scored yet. not that we are not going to score

you need to calm down

He's so solid at every other aspect of the game. Crossing is his weakness, but should that be a defender's top attribute?

Needs to be better than what he gives, especially with this system and our current squad. If he had a better delivery, this game could already be over.

Fooza · Aug 26, 2017

We really need to more effective when breaking down teams like this, it's going to be like this at home all season. Hope we bring in a Left back at least, Blind doesn't look comfortable on the left when it comes to attack.

I'm a bit concerned for the last 45.

That's the nature of being a fan though isn't it? I'm always concerned lol. This has been an excellent performance so far. We have to keep going, keep the intensity up.

One thing Martial need to do is stay a little wider IMO, to stretch the play, and make more runs in behind. Rashford does that well. Not a slight on Anthony but I feel we miss that direct running behind. Last two games Rashfords average position was higher than Lukaku's. It pulls the defenders apart and creates more space for Romelu and Mkhitaryan.

Half the comments in the transfer forum this summer whenever we've been linked to another option is "we have Valencia why do we need another RB?".

Very true. Highly overrated on the Caf is Tony by what I read.

Crossing and dribbling, absolutely yes. Carvajal and Marcelo are not the best defenders. But they have masive impact in the games because they can take players on and put good balls in the box.

Irrational. · Aug 26, 2017

I'd get Fellaini or Herrera on for Mata. We're much better and free scoring in a 4-3-3.

The 4-2-3-1 is just a bit too rigid for me.

One half where we haven't scored but are actually playing really well and people are already have the doom and gloom. The pre-match optimism lasted long

Fecking refs were right this time.

When carvajal scored in super cup ref experts said- inch or two is tolerated so i am holding on that

It lasted two games and we're back to last season. Was it Zlatan's comeback or what's the problem lads??? Mourinho; when will you learn what playing at Old Trafford really means?! This is our home ground. This is where we show everyone what an amazing team we are. This is not a place to keep some unbeaten run going - we need to win at any cost. I really hope you've got something to say to each and every player out there and get us a comfortable 4-0 win today or piss off.

Why isn't this WUM banned?

NotoriousISSY · Aug 26, 2017

Don't see us not scoring. We've had a few decent chances, just need Lukaku and Pogba to find Schmeichel's far corner and he won't save it.

We're dominating. Bailly and Jones are commanding. Rashford maybe off the bench to open things up, and drive into the box. Blind and Valencia need to add more. Matic can probably gamble here and there too.

Mhiki or Mata off, Rashford on please.

Feck off, you're such a WUM

You should learn how to behave in a forum. No need to attack a fellow poster and man united supporter in a match day thread. We're both striving towards the same goal ffs.

United needs another serial goal scorer, Martial and Rashford are not up to it, Zlatan cannot play alongside Lukaku both being 9s, Lukaku gets too much attention for him to deal with. Its far fetched but United should just dish out the money and bring in Griezmann, he and Lukaku could have 60 goals between them, a sure shot title winning combo.

Which we would have done had he been available, which he wasn't.

Patience, he's coming.

There is a bit of lack of movement around Lukaku. I think Rashford has been much missed. Sadly Rashford misses more than Martial, but his movement is much better. I think in general Martial has been fairly good today, but he doesn't create anything for his teammates.

Exactly. He'll be on soon I believe.

Jazz · Aug 26, 2017

Miki quiet again... needs to give more over the whole 90 mins imo

SirAnderson · Aug 26, 2017

As good as Mata has been, Id put Rashford in for him come 65mins and then if we get a goal or 2 we can get Herrera in or Fellaini as expected from Jose.

RetroStu · Aug 26, 2017

I know its easier said than done but with the way we play, 2 worldclass fullbacks would make us such a dominant team, it would be that missing link to our style.

That's just crazy after these three games, really.

Fellaini could be an option, an attacking one, actually, if this doesn't move forward.

I'm a bit worried now. We played good but this game has the same feeling as last season.

Pogba is too selfish it's unreal. He tried to shoot almost every ball he gets in front of the goal and always tries to take on player, disrupting our build up. Mourinho should tell him to move the ball faster ffs.

We don't score early in the second half we're in trouble.

This is exactly what he needs to do. The way Leicester play and are playing right now does not allow for intricate one-two football. They are packing the area and just in front of the Penalty D and are leaving him space to shoot centrally. They are playing with fire and are hedging their bets he won't score.

No Idea For Nickname · Aug 26, 2017

Now, after HT, we going to score 3 goals in 10 minutes. Rampant. Go Go Go. Or I will start biting my nails.

Problem is they don't exist, atleast not available.

Provide an aerial threat they dont really have at the moment.

Did Rio just say that? Or did I mishear

Martial has created more chances than anyone else on the pitch.

Lukaku wasted it there. Not trying to be a smart ass but I believe Rooney would have turned that chance into something better.

DomesticTadpole · Aug 26, 2017

Why is Martial so narrow?

Canagel · Aug 26, 2017

Blind and Martial are not a good combo on the left. Martial keeps cutting inside leaving acres of space for Blind but he hasn't got the pace or crossing ability to take advantage.
