Looking at the run in - West Ham to sneak into 4th?

Somehow we have the best record in the prem for games lost!

That stupid penalty!!

Trying to look the big " I am" really. Just smash the thing in the net in those situations.

Team wise today I hope we go big ourselves and get this one won then worry about shuffling the pack midweek. Points in the bag first.

100%. Today we have to go strong to all but guarantee top 4 and then rotate/rest players for the next few games. The players have to be fresh as poss for the EL final.

Apparently a Sponsor has pulled out of the Training Kit deal so we currently don't have anyone to replace AON with in July

They have cited the protests. £200m deal over 5 years

I said this would happen and it’s all very short sighted from the fans being dicks and going too far. A lot of fans will see this as a victory cos it hurts the Glazers pockets, which is true, but it has a big impact on our ability to spend the money on players too.

Agree, and dheads like Neville inciting it. He should be sanctioned in some way for his behaviour. By all means criticise, but don't inflame.

Nice strong selection today. Cavani rested and can do the 2nd half presumably.

Play reserves vs Leicester and wolves ,strong teams today and for Liverpool ,play a mixture vs Fulham .

Should be ok to leave a bit of fuel in the tank for the final .

I know I’ll get shouted at, but I think finishing 2nd is a lot more impressive than winning the Europa League. I’ll be badly disappointed if we lose out on 2nd resting players for a cup game.

It's arguably the harder achievement but 2-4 gives us the same thint with CL and winning the Europa would give the team and Ole a trophy so you can see why the focus is on it

I think that’s probably right. It’s a shame we don’t have the squad to go for both.

Lindelof, Fred and McT all showing why we need two CMs and two CBS this summer.

I've always liked United, honest!

We'll probably still fail to win even if you play the reserves.

Fred, in particular, has sealed it for me recently. He’s so technically poor.

[57Ford]

I reckon Cavani would’ve been on the end of Rashford’s cross then. Think Greenwood was probably forced to take the back post because Bruno was there but Cavani wouldn’t care.

[ORD]

Cynical dive from the defender there. Faking is endemic these days.

[dickymint]

Forgot it was early kick of and didn't bet so gone all in @ 5/2 United win.

[ORD]

Greenwood is such a special young player!
