Phenomenal performance today. I was a tad worried but what a response after the PSG defeat. Every single one of those players can leave the pitch with their head held eye.
We out fought and outdesired Chelsea. The tenacity and aggression of the team was epitomised by Ander Herrera. What a player this guy is. He led from the front and was absolutely everywhere. It is scandalous to think he hardly got a sniff under Jose. Gem of a player.
Pogba was imperious at times. Matic again brilliant. Shaw had his best game defensively. Mata surprised me. Some lovely touches and link up play. Smalling and lindelof were rock solid. Smalling gets far too much grief imo. He’s a solid defender whose not as bad as he is made out to be. I would have him in the squad over Jones any day of the week. Young is a weak link but did well. Shaw had his best defensive performance. Rashford and Lukaku worked hard. And Sanchez was aggressive when he came on. Just a fantastic away performance and tactically spot on by ole.
I keep finding myself flip flopping between ole and then Poch. I think you have to look at the fact ole has gone away to arsenal, spurs and Chelsea and not just won but done it playing attacking football. Absolutely brilliant effort. I’m loving being a united fan at the moment. Fingers crossed reports that martial and lingard are fit for Sunday because I can’t wait to play the scousers.

Good post Park, agree with all that, especially that Smallng gets a bad deal. Scandalous is a great word and spot on in terms of Herrera’s treatment. Here’s to Sunday.

Good post park, I just made similar comment before seeing this.
Do we have a new Captain Marvel? Herrera fits the bill when he is at his best, which he was today.
