    Impressed with Mainoo's cameo, looking more confident than the last games he played

    Rashford could have got a hat trick today (if EtH hadn’t rightfully rested him early).

    The reference was more towards the fact that wout missed multiple chances that kane or osimhen doesn’t miss. We can’t rely on rashfords goals. If he hits a dry spell or picks up an injury we are going to struggle. Alas we need a striker (world class one) in the summer. And wout DOES bring something to the squad. I like him and wouldn’t mind him staying but he’s just not an out and out goalscorer or starter week in week out. We need squad depth and he would be a decent squad player for us. Would get plenty of games also.

    Rash is in the form of his life. Resting him now is not the right thing to do. I would agree with taking him off early once the game is won but he should be starting all of these must win games.

    You called that better than I did. :)

    I'm still worried about how much were having to use Rashford, and choosing to use Shaw given his injury record. But today was one of those days were the plan of 'start strong, rotate if match is won early' worked perfectly.

    He had 34 goal contributions the year prior to Ronaldo joining and immediately saw his production plummet.

    Guess where he's at now?


    More goals and assists by mid February than Ronaldo had in all of last season.

    We kept saying Ronaldo was draining goals and energy from everyone around him but people kept insisting we’d be a relegation team without Ronaldo. Those people have gone very quiet.

    26 points in 11 games since Ronaldo left. 23 goals in 11 games.

    I agree, although the likeability of mangers and players tend to equal results and performances...

    Whenever I see him talking about football I genuinely believe him and his opinions. Can’t say that about some managers.

    Well, not all of use, some had the insolence to suggest Ronaldo would be a bad move.

    Absolutely. Where you could relax after 60 minutes after being 2-0/3-0 up. Admittedly not in his last title winning RvP season where he gave us almost a heart attack nearly every game :lol: Will never forget the Southampton game!

    Absolutely! The 3rd goal felt like a vintage Fergie goal, the build up play, the finish, the crowd reaction and then the realisation we have the game wrapped up with a half hour left and now we can take players off with a big European night and cup final coming up! It feels like the good times are on the way back.

    Let's not have headache on wout. He is ideal for the team. Wout have pressed more than all manutd players since he came ( That was why ETH brought him) The other players around him are the beneficiaries. Benzema played like that for years at real. City is another example. Haaland came and we all see that city now lack cohesion.
     
    Giving player ratings it was actually tough to pick a MOTM. Bruno, Rashford, Martinez - all brilliant. I gave it to DDG. If he doesn't make those saves in the first half it's a different game and a different feel to a week when we play Barca and a cup final. Great result. ETH is working wonders.
