Ten Hag showed a lot of balls dropping his captain Maguire and sticking with Martinez. If we had been over run at the back tonight then this guy would have been mercilessly picked apart by the media.
What a performance from him and Varane. If Harry wants to play any time soon he will need to show the same attitude and fight to get his place back. It all bodes well with competition for places.
 
Aside from being an absolute warrior at the back, he was subtley crucial to the build up play in our goals as well. Composure on the ball to keep moving the ball forward rather than recycling possession is something we haven't had in YEARS.
This is something important he also has over Maguire, he's quick to play the ball into a player when he sees it. He doesn't needlessly dangle on the ball for too long, something Maguire is very guilty of.
 
Them South Americans are hard feckers. Need more Rojo's and Martinez's in this United team.
 
The shithousery we need. Pushed salah around in the first couple of minutes. “Hey mo, i’m not maguire” kind of pushing!

he is very aggressive, defends like his life depends on it and is very passionate. Him alongside varane seemed so easy on the eye. Imagine when casemiro sits on front of them! A joy to watch today
100% he set the tempo with that.

I don't like ragging on Maguire, but he's a gentle giant that always looks sorry for himself. His massive size he should be bullying people, he's a defensive Lukaku.

Martinez came straight in and said I don't like you, come near me and i'll kick the feck out of you. And he did.

What a guy :drool:
 
Looked really good today. Hopefully he plays beside Varane and they make a proper partnership all season
 
MOTM for me, solid as a rock and excellent and composed in possession
 
He was absolutely immense today. He is obviously a very good player. Calm on the ball, aggressive as feck in his defending. Interested to see how he will play against City and Haaland. Those absolute physical monsters are what I'm worried about.
He's already played against erling and did quite well, he should manage him just fine i hope.
 
That's why we paid the money for this guy...

Great to see him live in action at OT

Top top performance. Him and Varane were solid
 
He's going to be a cult hero with that attitude
 
Heart, energy, intensity and not a half bad passer of the ball as well. We just need to sort out how to account for that height deficit against big teams.
 
Excellent. He really made that first goal in my eyes with the direct pass and he's so combative it's what we've missed in the CBs. Calm head on the ball as well and him and Malacia played their way out of the press at least 3 times instead of us just hoofing it which is nice. But remember guys, he's too small and he'll get done when Peter Crouch gets one on one with him...fecking Sky
 
Fantastic tonight, set the tone from the first couple minutes when he pushed around Mo Salah. He has the mentality and he has the technical skills required.
 
An absolute rock. They won’t be talking about his height by the end of the season.
 
So much pressure, and what an outstanding performance in the biggest game of the year. Proper warrior and leader too.
