Decent performance - I actually thought Malacia looked much sharper than he did just a few weeks ago. Collyer with a couple of badly misplaced passes but overall did really well. Our goal should never have been disallowed - and we should have scored a few more goals. And please keep the Turk in goal.
 
Turned a 3-0 4-0 win into a dramatic 2-1 win. Any dropped points would have been self inflicted.
We did create chances, but we failed to get the 2nd earlier in the 2nd half

Do have to improve the composure in the final third
 
Captain Bruno! I saw a lot of good in that performance. Still pretty suspect defensively and not clinical enough up top but..... I saw good things!
 
Made awful hard work of it, gave a terrible Rangers team plenty of opportunities. On top of that missed way too many as usual, the odd moment of fluent quality with plenty of mediocrity.
 
Terrible finishing yet again, still think we need Höjlund cause he can finish if he gets the chance.

Malaria wasnt great but improved us a lot when coming on.

Maguire just giving them a goal.

Bayindir solid.

Garnacho showing he is a winger and not a 10, and we don't need wingers, especially ones that only goes for the shot (and misses)
 
We need to finish better. A more accurate result would’ve been something like 4-2.

Everyone played OK imo, with Bruno and Garnacho standing out.
 
People going overboard as ever. Deserved win, if not for an absolutely colossal mistake from Maguire would have been reasonably calm.

Collyer looked good, Bruno bossed it and I thought both Amad and Garnacho were threatening.

Biggest concerns for me were Mainoo and Malacia...both were terrible. Oh and someone needs to explain to Amad that in the 94th minute of a crucial match, just chill out and take it to the corner.
 
Better, but at the same time rangers schoolboys could've got a point

When the 3 at the back get beaten by balls over the top your in trouble

Still this formation offers nothing up top.
 
I predicted a 2-1 win and it was never in doubt!

Seriously though had it finished 1-1 it would have summed up Uniteds season, big chances wasted to wrap up the win then a defensive error allowed Rangers level it up late on.

4th in the table heading into the last round and one of only three unbeaten teams in this competition this season
 
Awful performance, Rangers should have got something from it. No idea whats wrong with those players, so far off it.
Based on what? They had a chance that was offside that hit the post. Wouldn't have counted, and did very little apart from defend deep all game. We missed boatloads of chances and dominated the ball, and had a clear goal disallowed.
 
We were mostly dominant for a change but my goodness, we need to wise up when we get into the final third. Just shocking lack of quality.
 
Are people blind? We dominated them in the second half and should have scored three or four. We just lack a striker but overall I thought it was a good performance. Had a perfectly good goal disallowed. These were the same games Ten Hag lost or drew.
 
Strange hearing all the negativity tonight. Our best performance for a while. Bruno fantastic in CM and bags of chances created.
 
Made that a lot harder than it needed to be, but job done in the end, great to get the win.
 
Each game that passes demonstrates how much we need a striker. Can't we get someone on loan at least.

We should have won this game easily but again poor finishing.
 
Hojlund and Malacia don't even belong at this level never mind in the PL. Big performances from Bruno, Martinez and, as always, Amad.
 
Rangers had shit-tons of injuries both coming into the game and during it. We seemed to sense when their keeper punched the ball into his own net that we had a chance of getting lots of goals. Garnacho and Maguire then both missed sitters and we were then really bad for 20 minutes until they scored. I don’t know how we lost control against that rangers side during that period but we somehow managed it.
