It's like he's a different man when Henderson is playing behind him, isn't he?

Every time De Gea is in goal he looks meek and uncertain.

Every time Dean plays he looks like a lion fighting for his steak.

If you ask me, it's no coincidence.
 
Victor stood tall tonight. Haters and moaners will have to look elsewhere to find someone to piss on.
 
So that's 1 goal we've conceded (Hendersons blunder) in around 700 minutes. Maguire and Lindelof don't get enough respect for that.
Really happy, both were very good today. But can you explain why Ole still playing McFred constantly to protect them?
 
Best player on the pitch today. Carried the ball forward so well, if only there was someone with an ounce of creativity on our right to use that.
 
Superb defending tonight. Cut out one dangerous cross and got an important touch to a free-kick in the 2nd half. Passed the ball safely and carried it forwards a couple of times. Encouraging performance.
 
As an aside note, does anyone else think he, Maguire and Henderson, barring the first leg against Milan, have been great over the last month or so? Our defence looks rock solid again.

they have done well. Still feel a little nervous with them, but much improved.
 
Where does that come from though? I'm genuinely curious because for some time now our defense has been rock solid.

im certainty not convinced by Henderson’s handling.

as I’ve said, they’ve done well. But it’s going to take more than 7-8 matches for me to believe it’s a permanent improvement.

I hope it is, and pleased to see where it’s going.
 
Outstanding again. Him and Maguire seem to look like a defensive pair all of a sudden

I'm a big critic of him but they have been very good. Consistency of selection, including full backs is a big plus.

Eric Bailly played in the first leg. Lindelöf was on the bench.

There were periods last season when this was the case - we finished last season quite well, although the Sevilla game was terrible.

We were absolutely spoilt with Rio and Vidic, and I don't think our current defenders are at that level.

I just can't remember Rio or Vidic being criticised in their pomp but Maguire and Lindelof get battered almost every week

I think it’s in part down to how successful we were. Vidic And Rio were unreal; but they were involved in some howlers too
 
He was class tonight both defensively and on the ball, one of his best games in a United shirt, some really good interceptions and blocks.
 
Did well tonight and his forward runs deserved more from his teammates.
 
Thought he was excellent tonight. I’m not a huge fan il be honest but he was very good in all aspects tonight. Good defending, moved the ball quicker (hate when he takes ten touches just to pass 5 yards) marshalled the back line well with Maguire. Solid performance. He does struggle against bigger stronger attackers but games like tonight against a false 9 he’s very clever and done very well.
 
Good game from him and the rest of the defence. He has a good eye for the game, that’s for sure. Important to keep clean sheets now when the forwards struggle a little to score goals. I like his runs forward, hope he continues with that.
 
Very good game. Very two important interceptions too. I think he got beaten by Zlatan once in the middle of the pitch but Zlatan would beat most defenders in the air 9 times out of 10.
This is why I feel if we replace Fred or McTominay and get a CF we can be in business and compete with city.
 
Excellent performance. Aggressive, good heading and anticipation, good passing.

Think that was Maguire actually. If we are thinking about the same incident.
 
He’s been much better recently. I find he’s much more suited to the bigger games, especially in Europe.

yes you are right. I had a look at it again. It was Maguire and not Lindelof. Victor was immense tonight and my worries about Ibra and him came to nothing. It must be good news for Sweden too. I am sure that if we had better DMs the back 4 will play better. Having Hendo behind him must be also comforting.
 
Off the top of my head I think this may be Lindelof's highest ever rating after a match on whoscored. It certainly is this season. He's usually about a 6.6 or 6.7 - against Milan he got a 7.6

0 tackles, 5 interceptions, 5 clearances, 1 aerial won

This is the stuff I wanted to see him doing more often so I'm happy about that

That said he can still improve in the air as there were a few headers where he was uncomfortable or didnt find a healthy place to put the ball. And he did allow the ball to come in easily from the side for the chance that Krunic put wide on 44 minutes where he got a shot away before AWB closed him down.

Other than that I don't remember any other problems from the match and Shaw had the most moments playing people onside, allowing Ibra to get his header in and a foul 2 mins into injury time.
 
He's been great since West Brom. Yesterday was the best I've seen him play this season.
 
He had very good game, in last few weeks he did really well. I think even against West Ham he was very good.
