This is a proper Jose Mourinho team now. Lethal in attack, composed in midfield and very solid at the back. Our squad depth is good too. All the players seem to have a better understanding with each other.

 

[Klopp_De_Klown]

Wow good last few mins to save the day just as they started to look more in the game. Fully deserved if slightly flattering. Swans battled hard.

4-0

Thats more like it, tougher tests to come, can only beat whats infront of you. So we take it and move on. 2 down 5 to go. Bring on the foxes.

Mkhi Pogs Jones Bailly and special mention for Tony M. Deserves a start now.

 

[LeftyBlaster]

Time to start putting the fear of United back into this league.

 

[Irrational.]

On another day, last season even - we start getting nervous, Swansea hit us with a sucker punch and the game ends 1-1.

Lukaku's goal gave us so much more breathing space and chance for the players to be free and express themselves. That second goal was crucial and underrated. That's what he was bought for

We still look weak down the left but can't complain with two clean sheets and four goals each. Lets hope this continues

 

[Ramshock]

I think we need one more top level player and we can compete on all fronts

 

[NinjaZombie]

Steady on. One thing Jose has changed is that we're more prepared to give up possession and play deeper, hoping to catch teams out on the counter. We did this last season but were unfortunately a bit shit at doing that transition. Maybe that's what 2 years of Van Gaal does to you.

Great to see a counter attacking United side again.

League wise, still early days yet.

 

[manunited1919]

Martial is a monster in the making. Mourinho knows it too!!!

 

[Sereques]

Swans fought very hard at the beginning but we were good enough to withstand them and take control. Baily's goal cannot arrive at a better time. The team looks like SAF side

 

[JustAFan]

Very pleased. Swansea played well in what they were trying to do but we kept at it and they rarely looked a threat.

Picked up the pressure at the end of the half to snatch the lead.

Subs made a difference and 3 quick goals.

Very happy

 

[elmo]

Curious! You don't think the breakaway goals are reminiscent of the Tevez-Ronaldo-Rooney era

Nah, reminds me more of Saha-Ronaldo-Rooney era.

It is, but not many teams start a season by scoring 8 goals in two games.

 

[Freak]

Matic and Pogba are so crucial to our counter attacks. The way they win the ball and quickly transition it is lovely to watch.

 

[togg]

One of the great things is we are spreading our goal scorers around the pitch...something we so needed to do this season.

 

[Irrational.]

Jose might be in trouble with his post-match comments: "Mr. Moss had certain criteria for the Swansea players and bookings", when asked about the Pogba possible sending off. What he says isn't wrong, but watch those cretins at the FA swoop on this.

 

[elmo]

The highest praise I can give to this team is that it's starting to look like a team that Sir Alex himself would have been proud of managing.

Any gifs of Jose smoking the fake cigar?

I need minutes

It wasn't during the game I just seen Sky showing it

[Ninja7Red]

Very accomplished performance.

Mata is more of a ball retention mechanism against teams that sit and defend deeply. He will come good, believe me.

Mikhi just going on to show how impactful he can be if his head is in the game!

 

[NinjaZombie]

It is, but not many teams start a season by scoring 8 goals in two games.

It isn't about just scoring goals. Just ask Liverpool.

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

Felt this game panned out very similar to the West Ham game last week.

Managed to get that first goal just before half time.

Swansea needed to be a bit more adventurous second half, which allowed us more room.

To be fair, we weren't great second half, and didn't really threaten much, until we scored.

Once we got the second goal, the floodgates opened, and just like West Ham, we got a few goals in less than 10 mins.

 

[Shark]

A hallmark of all of Jose' great teams. When I think of his Chelsea side around the 09/10 era, I think of goals from Lampard, Essien, Drogba, Anelka, Malouda, Ballack. The list goes on.

 

[Get In Scholesy]

Two 4-0 results on the trot. Feel's good. It was difficult at times, credit to Swansea for keeping their shape making it difficult for us to get in behind. But bigger credit to us for adjusting accordingly and going for more goals.

Flattering result but we've missed a ruthlessness for a while now and it looks like it may finally be back.

That performance may not have been a win last season, nevermind a 4-0 win.

Impressive.

Last season would've been a heartbreaking 1-1 at the death.
This season we're capitalising and winning 4-0.
The difference.

Love the raw pace and power. Mata and Rashford vital to tire the opposition and to keep the discipline as the bench players make a huge impact and open up spaces for us to exploit.

Absolutely. The way the game was going until the 79th min I had that feeling where Swansea would be getting a scrappy half chance leading to a goal. The ruthlessness shown was impressive and refreshing to see. Need it to continue on a consistent basis.

 

[lococol]

I think we need one more top level player and we can compete on all fronts

Zlatan is on his way back

 

[Adnandos]

I think we need one more top level player and we can compete on all fronts

I agree. I believe in Shaw, so getting a great crossing winger for either wing would really make us elite imo.

 

[Hanky panky]

Not same good performance as against West Ham but it's still more than enough. Very promising start for a season. Pogba, Mkhi, Martial, Rashford, Matic, Lukaku... Almost only positive performances in first two games. Rashford just isn't clinical enough. But he's still raw.

 

[donkeyfish]

I thought Swansea was a notch better than WH, and made the game quite difficult before collapsing towards the end.

I'm happy with the four goals, but also with the few chances we conceded. Even if we lost the ball in dangerous areas, gave away some set pieces, it seemed like we had decent control.

 

[Shark]

It isn't about just scoring goals. Just ask Liverpool.

Liverpool? we have fantastic defenders and defensive depth in our side, which is what Jose prioritizes when building his teams. Liverpool have been making the same mistakes for over a decade, which is why they haven't won a PL title and won't any time soon. When is the last time they had a truly elite centre back pairing?

 

[EyeInTheSky]

If Coutinho is worth 100 Million. I reckon Micki is worth more. He is, IMO a better player.

Jones was also superb. MoM.

I think the age gap is a big factor. If the transfer inflation started 3 years back I think that would be the case

 

[Red Indian Chief Torn Rubber]

The improvement is in our finishing. Its miles better than last season

 

[royboy16]

Hard game for 75 minutes, Swansea were stubborn and we were in control but not creating enough, then we exploded in the last 10 minutes and put them to the sword with some impressively clinical attacking.

I think this is the difference between this Utd team and last years team.We didnt give up and eventually got the break.

 

[The red panther]

Looked like United of last season than suddenly we score 3 in 3 minutes to completley kill them off.

We certainly look beter than last season alltough we also started with 9/9 last year so still need to be carefull not to celebrate too quick.

I think we do still need a winter and fullback if we really are going to compete this season.

Also Martial should start ahead of Rashford, he looks much beter atm.

 

[NinjaZombie]

Liverpool? we have fantastic defenders and defensive depth in our side, which is what Jose prioritizes when building his teams. Liverpool have been making the same mistakes for over a decade, which is why they haven't won a PL title and won't any time soon. When is the last time they had a truly elite centre back pairing?

My point is, its way too early to be shouting over the rooftops about winning the league. We've made a good start, but it's still just two games.

I understand the optimism but last season, Chelsea had a bad start and people were crowning Pep and City in September.

 

[LeftyBlaster]

I don't even care how the other teams go now. I just badly want us to beat Leicester.

Leicester this season will be a test. We have some hard games coming up but I am more encouraged by our finishing, which was our downfall last season.

 

[moodyred]

We just can't score goals. Always defending a one goal lead and panicking in the end, drawing 1-1.........

Wait....that was last season. What a transformation!

 

[Nick Lowe]

This season all depends on if we can get the lead during games where it is really tight and we have been bogged down for a lot of the game. When the other team have to come out and have a go at us thats when we can demolish.

 

[Spirit of Solskjaer]

I genuinely have no idea who my MOTM is. A sign of a true team performance.
