The Official Manchester United Thread (Vol 8)

Another very good performance (if only for a half, really). Martial, Rashford and Pogba all looking pretty special.

Martial wasn’t that good. Pog, and especially Rashford looked dangerous. Pog was his usual absent self in the last 20 when it got tougher. We need to learn to not just retreat backwards when the other team scores.

Let's not get too carried away just yet. This team does need strengthening and we have a squad that needs a clear out at the end of the season in some areas.
We've now got some very tricky games coming up against teams in form both home and away. Much as it would be fabulous, the run can't continue to the season end and the real test will be after his first loss as to how they respond.
The lads at least have something to prove now and to chase and seem happy with their lot. Great way to turn around a dead season, long may it continue

I was watched highlights of PSG win 9-0 yesterday,we can go on about how poor the french league is but that front 3 they have when on form are unbelievable ,comfortably the best forward line in world football.
That’s going to be one tough tie.

Especially with our defence.

Dunno what you mean, Neymar/Mbappe running at Bailly/Jones isn't remotely terrifying

Whole season was a write off for me when JM went, we might now have a small sniff at Top 4, progression in the CL is asking a bit much

I think we have more than a sniff of top 4.
Whilst PSG is probably the hardest tie we could have got the other teams you normally worry about are not that good .
If by some miracle we got past PSG then the competition is wide open ,look At Liverpool last season ..favourable draws can help a lot.

[GTO-3R]

We’re more than in for a sniff of top 4! Is Sours lose today we’re only 4 points behind them. Pretty remarkable that we’re even in this position tbh and I’ll be happy just to put on a good team performance against PSG, if we progress then even better!!

Interesting that some of the trolls that were trolling fans for being absent whilst we were losing, are now, well absent, whilst we are winning.

I’m sure they’ll be back.

I do think that's pretty much how it works

Your point being?

You'll find I've done no summing or trolling in here, I've told you you were capable all along.

Looking at the fixtures you're in the clear till at least the last week of Feb.

One of the ironic things is most "WUMs" said Jose was the problem and you needed to get rid of him. Except a few supporters of the best team in the world who say your team is crap, Now Jose is gone, and you've got a great run going on.

No one is saying we’re not. Most things in life are transient.

There are in reality the odd one or two on the forums who are just fking boring with their persistent drivel, the rest is purely rival banter, we all give as good as we get.

Well I expect the rivalry to intensify as i reckon utd will catch at least two of Spurs, Chelsea and Arsenal.

Which two is anyone's guess.

Plenty of Spuds were outraged by my suggestion over the last few months that we have good players and that Mou was the problem. Nowhere near as good as their amazing side etc etc etc etc

In general, and it’s strange to say this, the Scousers have been more sensible!

I think you will find that most Spurs fans are delighted with Utd's current form & that most would prefer Utd to beat both Arsenal & Chelsea to 4th spot.
