Good result this for us too with Wolves losing! Takes a bit of pressure off

If anything it takes the pressure off Leicester, although they’ve got Arsenal next up. United have to keep winning no matter what happens to the teams around them at the moment.

Oh definitely but I just meant from the point of view that they were level pegging us all the way so we’ve got a little breathing space now.

We can only do what we can do and keep winning our own games! Come on Watford

Absolutely. I think this is going to the last day with those bizarre fixtures. I think Arsenal will take something off Leicester next time out, but that potentially brings them right into it if they win.

So if we buy Sancho who misses out at the front?

We’re too good a side to be worrying about Leicester and Wolves. If they finish above us, it’s because we’ve been a shambles. We need to win our games and forget about everyone else.

Greenwood, he's in an amazing run but he's still only young

Imagine being able to pull Sancho off every 60 mins though (stop it CIE) and replace him with someone equally as potent, or Rash on the left, or Martial

Greenwood essentially becomes the new Ole, we need a different dimension at RW/LW/CF

So do we now think Solksjaer deserves to be known as a good manager? Not a top manager, great manager or a legend, just someone that’s capable of leading us forward? That he’s no longer the old favourite that’s helping steady the ship? LvG and Mourinho both won us trophies, do we need a trophy before we put full faith in him? I, for one, am right behind him and wouldn’t pick anyone else to do the job, I don’t think Pochettinho would have turned things around so quickly from how last season ended. It’s like night and day.

For me at the moment he is a good manager. Came in and understood the issues the club had and instantly worked to clear out the deadwood. Put faith in youth, and identified targets that would improve the team. Bruno was a great buy, and certainly helped knit the team together and get players playing well.

He deserves more time and hopefully will see how he can push on in Europe. I’m happy with Ole and the right man for the job.

Still frustrated we didn't get Bruno in August...

Very hard to say. He has done good things on transfers but has shown real naivety in team selection and tactics. He’s certainly better than the dross we have had since SAF.

Would he have had the same impact though? I know it’s an impossible question, but there’s no guarantee he would have.

Harry Kane responds to speculation linking him with a move to Man Utd:

Not surprising, we're about 15th in the form table!

We will finish 5th, unless we beat you last game on the season.

You've only taken 9 points in last 7 games dating back to February. That's crazy.

Would you be Happy with fifth? bit of a kick in the nads considering the start, but still a great season over all.

Could be even harder next year with Newcastle no doubt being takeover and 300mill to spend? and Everton looking strong etc

Thoughts for tonight chaps? Same lineup or will Ole change it up a little? Don't see why he should as the players have had a fair rest since the last match.

Not going to be an easy game imo and more of a test than we got against Brighton and Bournemouth with Villa fighting for their lives!

I'm going with a 2-0 win but a harder fought one

3-2 .. Greenwood brace and Rashford and Grealish screamer and DDG howler

If we can win by 3 goals or more that will be the first time any team in the premiership has ever won by a 3 goal margin in 4 consecutive games

It's very tight with Leicester and Chelsea look to be hitting some form, I wouldn't change it unless Matic is tired and maybe Williams at LB

I think it will be a lot harder than the last game as others have said
