Manchester United 3:0 Leicester City

Post-match discussion

Sun, 10 November 2024

Our attack could be pretty good if Hojlund and Rashford knew how to play the game. It's always a surprise if a forward pass by Rashford connects.

Ugarte, Amad, and Casemiro really good. Its been a long time since we had a skillful player that is fun to watch. ETH was just stupid not to play Amad more.
 
Comfortable win, which is unusual this season. However, i'm not entirely happy.
Positives:
-Win, clean sheet
-some decent individual performances
-overall dominance throughout the whole game.

Negatives:
-Rashford is still absolutely useless
-poor performance from de Ligt and Dalot
-only one goal from an attacker
-still zero connection between the wingers and Hojlund
-Zirkzee.
 
Ugarte was superb and Eriksen gave a great pass to Fernandes for the third goal
 
Much better results wise and for some reason, less chaotic. But tempo was quite low in the second half, and somehow we managed to score goals. Obviously some rub of the green going our way now compared to the start of the season.

Insane to see that 3rd-14th in the table have 4 point gap after 11 games. If we get a run of good results, suddenly this season won’t feel all lost already.

Lots of work needs to be done for me to trust this squad again, but I’m so happy for Ruud to have won 3 of 4 as interim manager.
 
We need more attacking talent
Solid performance otherwise
I’ve always said our squad isn’t as bad as ETH had them performing.

Ugarte and Mazaroui both have been brilliant additions.
 
A performance that wasn't as good over 90 minutes as the score suggests, but was never really in doubt once we got our noses in front. Very happy happy for Ruud to sign off with such a good record - but the fact that we weren't scintillating under his tenure also makes it easier to say goodbye.

Thought Ugarte had his best game, and that's a definite upward trend over the last few games. Bruno looked decent, the defence was fairly composed. The other starting attackers were not so great, but at least Garnacho grabbed another goal of the month contender.

Shape wise we had the same issue we saw midweek. Two wide wingers, a high number 9 and a defence that isn't comfortable playing a high line led to loads of space in the middle of the park and more simple passes going astray as they have so much distance to cover. Work to do there.

Ruud definitely pulled us out of the crisis and gave Amorim something better than a smoking wreck to take over. Job done.
 
Should have sacked Ten Hag 3 games earlier... well done Ruud
He did what he must do, simple changes, simple tactics... but we have better results.

What on earth are you talking about, he was absolutely fine!
 
Mazraoui, Amad, Ugarte, Bruno all good. The rest were their usual so-so. Rashford, Hojlund and Dalot had stinkers.

Zirkzee was a negative in the about 10 minutes he played?

Well played today. Bruno MotM with 1.5G + A

MoTM was Ugarte, he was immense today, Bruno had a good game, Amad was good in the first half but fell away a bit in the second, De Ligt andCasemiro were solid as well
 
Someone’s got to get a grip of Rasmus and tell him the basics of centre forward play. He seemed so consumed by the physical battle and walking off you could tell he knew it was a stinker.

I think Marcus Rashford’s time here is up and it’s just a matter of when he leaves. No serious manager is even trying to persist with him.

Dalot was piss poor and the sooner we have a left back in place the better.

That’s the negatives out of the way, the others were all very good in their own way today. Hats off to van Nistelrooy as well, great subs with great timing.

Bruno, Ugarte, Casemiro and Amad were all impressive. Enjoyed the link up at times and enjoyed the desire to win the ball back.

Zirkzee was not a negative. That was his best cameo in months.

What was wrong with Garnacho after he scored?
Click to expand...
Bruno just advised: "Garnacho scored a banger but didn't celebrate like he should because he thinks he has lost faith from some fans. I told him people will always moan but lots of people like you and enjoy what you do. I told him to celebrate, it was something special. He is a special player, we have difference makers. They are the ones who win us games. We want them to score every game but that isn't going to happen."

I liked performance of Ugarte as well. But when a player scores, assists and forces an own goal, it’s a very good performance as well - hence my MotM vote went for Bruno
 
Really good result, but we did well to get three goals out of the chances created today. Amad worked hard, Bruno delivering again, but that attacking unit needs serious work in the final third to start reliably creating high quality chances. Two low chance bangers and an OG today was enough, but won’t get them most weeks. Hojlund, Rashford, Zirkzee and Garnacho (bar the great strike) all were poor.
 
3 goals scored and a clean sheet is really nice. Performance wasn't spectacular but still good way to end Ruud's tenure. And finally a win, only 2nd win since Southampton away and that was 2 months ago.

15 points in 10 games is poor but hopefully it gets better over the season. We're not far from top 4 so season is not lost, it's just a matter of how well can they perform under Amorim.
 
Good three points for the team capped off with some excellent individual performances from Ugarte, Fernandes and Amad. If I was to be picky then I would say that we have too many free kicks away and was pants for much of the 2nd half but other than that, we were quite good.

Big thanks to Ruud for stepping in and getting some good results in the short period of time being interim. Whether he stays or goes, I’m sure there’s a head coach job somewhere for him when he’s ready. Now, over to you Ruben!
 
Good performance, in short passages a bit careless, but overall satisfied with win, 3 goals and clean sheet.

Special mention to Ugarte, looked very good in the middle and worked well with Cas, shame the latter picked up an injury.

Final words to Ruud, who handled the players well and got 3 wins from 4 so cementing his legacy. I'm sure he'll do well in the PL we're he to manage a team. Onwards and looking forward to Amorim start, whisper it quietly, he can be very good for us!
 
Wonderful win.Our midfielders were on it today. Bruno, Ugarte, Casemiro, Eriksen were all great. Amad and Mazraoui continue to impress and Garnacho hit a gorgeous finish. De Ligt, Onana, Licha all good too. Just a very nice team performance.
 
Ugarte and DeLigt best players.

Rashford, Hojlund and Dalot very poor.

We won. Nothing else. Need to improve lot.
