Really hope Pereira gets some meaningful minutes today... Probably need a 3rd to kill this game off for that to happen

Rashford is feeling himself out there.
Rashford needs to go.
Dalot has been pretty good so far. Love the way he gets forward at every given opportunity.what a goal
Go where?We have played very well this half The only reason Brighton had that much possession was due to Young's constant feck ups, and Matic a bit as well.
This now is a true case of manager getting his tactics right but being let down by personnel (Young) in some spells. Unlike Jose's tenure where it was more tactics than personnel that was the problem.GD +14Rashford lulzWe’re going to win the league!Dalot doing alright on the left so farPogbaEnd of today we will be 13 points off the top table.Hmmm...Watching Rashford shine like this under Ole is a beautiful thing.
Beautiful.Dalot is a better LB than Luke ShawI airways backed rash to be the better out of him and Martial. Kids proving it every game.
Can't agree, at all.
ITS ON!!!!!
The manager.Matic's long passing is unreal
Oo erRashford is feeling himself out there.
Statistically United could still win the league..Lindelof has gone from seemingly our weak link to leading our play from the back within a month. What a transformation.Love how we're able to enjoy football once again so much that we can't afford to miss a single second of the match by posting in this thread .Fog-horn Phealan
Not watching the game but agree with this sentiment. Now it is starting to be clear we do have some quality but a few other areas of the pitch could use more. under Jose the whole team just looked so drab.Not a great half, but still 2-0 up. Neat.Marcus fecking rashford!45+3 min
Young wins a late corner of Locadia.
Martial meets the corner at the front post but it deflects into Button's hands.Lukaku is going to have to find a new club if he wants regular 1st team football. Rashford is now on a entirely different level to Lukaku now, and thats no disrespect to Lukaku.Rashford is feeling himself out there.
He's mates with Gavin Whyte?Not related to this match, but you won't be surprised to know dirty Salah been up to his usual diving tricks. Prick.Has nothing to do with OLe, it's fecking structure!
You people...Half-time (45’ + 3)Half-time
We lead 2:0 at half-time thanks to Paul Pogba's 27th minute penalty and Rashford's brilliantly taken goal shortly before the break. We started fast, putting Brighton under pressure from the off, but they held us at bay and slowly worked themselves into game as the half went on. They have created a fair few half-chances without ever really testing De Gea.
Our quality going forward has made the difference though and we're well in control of this game going into the second-half.

We will be top of the league, no doubt about thatIf only we had ole at the start of the season.My United is back
The Manchester United I used to know has returned
A few signings will make us challenge for the title next season, for now top four is the goal....- Status
