We weren't going to lose with him on the pitch tonight. Incredible performance.
May be if they play Chambers at RB.

And by the way, I'm voting Rashford as MM. Just can't stand his face (for now).
The one thing that tells that he is a hard worker is his left foot, he is a lot better with it now.
Even a touch of class in the post match interview.
He will be a big player for us and will be a joy to watch when he's in a flowing team. A combination of us expecting him to carry the team from the get go (since he wasn't gonna get any help from the established players) and him thinking (I actually don't know what he is thinking but basing it on his attitude on the pitch) this will be an easy ride has been a match made in hell so far but I do believe he got more in his locker than, let's say Nani, who he usually is being compared against. I just refuse to believe he will fail.
Mind boggling performance, absolutely incredible.
It's like he took that pill from Limitless.

No doubt the onus is on him to prove himself at the highest level and he's still a long way off from doing that but there's a reason why he looked streets ahead of any player on the park today and that's because the kid does have bags of ability. The question for me is about application. I don't see any reason why if he works hard he can't adapt to a higher level when he's taking the piss (when confident) against a lower one when no one else is. But it's up to him to do that and establish himself. Otherwise it'll just be wasted talent.
Wow what a bloody performance.
Hope he can carry this form now and confidence. LVG needs to give him freedom.

Excellent performance, yes the opposition weren't all that good but this was a young team that needed someone to spark them and lead and he did that.
What did he say/do?
Unreal, now just needs to do it against the likes of arsenal
This season? This is easily the performance of the last 5 seasons. The highlights of this are going to be really, really long
Told @Successful to suck it.
If you have to choose between Martial or Memphis to play on the left wing... who would you choose? (Don't say Martial as striker)
Talked about Martial and praised Rashford too.
I'm sure I'm going to be in the minority but honestly his performance tonight made me dislike him quite a bit. He hasn't played well since Brugge and then comes out and starts showing off against a league one caliber team. He obviously was extremely good but the cockiness was unwarranted after the season he's had.
That said, hopefully this is the confidence boost he needs to finally start fulfilling some of his potential. We'll see Sunday - but I'm not expecting a performance even remotely close to as good as that.

Memphis as a striker.
Memphis got really horny tonight.
Odd. His tricks were all purposeful.
I can understand where you're coming from but I cannot agree with it. Cockiness is doing pointless tricks when you could have kept it a lot simpler. There wasn't a single trick that Depay did tonight that didn't have a purpose.
I like him, but he has been dreadful in the premiership, and the fact he looked stunning tonight tells us all we need to know about the opposition.
Good God.
Yep you're in the minority.
His 'cocky' tricks all had reason and purpose and mostly advanced our play. Likewise after such a poor season, it's fantastic that he had the confidence to try such skills.
I want to see a lot more of this from him - it's essential for any wide forward to delay such skills.

Played like a Utd no. 7, I can't stop grinning
Memphis as he puts in better crosses, also seems more natural to him
Soccer AM's Showboat is going to be about an hour and a half long.
To expand on this, he also tried the tricks and flicks at the right time. When the game was on, he kept it relatively simple. When the game was in our favour, then they began ramping up. When the game was won, it was party time.
Got a 10 from me. Sensational performance.
Plays well with freedom imo. Think he needs a run of games (but to be looked after carefully, in terms of subbing him when hes getting tired to keep him fresh).
I do however expect the pattern of people saying "fly him back to Holland" when he next gives the ball away or tries something and it doesnt work (probably on Sunday).
I like him because he keeps trying things.

Well, hello there. More of the same please.
Based on tonight's performance it's Memphis. It's his natural position.
The big BUT is consistency... First time I've seen him play so well ands it's tainted as its against much inferior defenders than he has to perform against.
But it's a great performance to get under his belt and hopefully will inject a bolt of confidence to accelerate delivery of his potential
Bizarre post.
I feel like we put too much on his shoulders too early. With the no7 shirt and being an automatic starter straight away he struggled to build up any momentum.
Hope he carries the forward into Premiership games.
He did horrible, horrible things to their right back, who probably wishes he was sent off earlier. Simply sensational performance though, hopefully he can keep it up.
Go on, son. Do it on Sunday. Step up...
New chant for him?
He's gonna have a long highlights reel from tonight. As everyone is saying, this is the player we thought we signed in the first place. You just hope this is the making of his Man Utd career. If anyone can teach him how to harness his attacking potential it's Giggs.
