You have seamed to have got a lot worse than earlier in the season. Hardly any urgency. The game is getting played like a training match.

Bruno has absolutely been on fire these past few weeks. Really taking accountability. Fair bloody play.

Needs must I suppose but the young lads getting minutes is impressive

Amass Heaven Collyer and Obi - a lot of this group are under 25

He covers ever blade of grass and plays every minute. And still some in the media especially that tit Goldbridge give him stick.

amongst the Youngsters poor old Linda still is a weak link - played a lot of games for UTD and not hammering him but th next CB group need to be faster and striponger

Ah, really want to be happy about that, 3 goals, our shy strikers both scoring and a clean sheet. Just gutted for the kid, hope it's not as bad as it looks.

Bruno is just Bruno. Where we would be without him I hate to think. Club get slated a lot for their transfers over the years (and fairly so) but this one they got completely right.

My word though Leicester are bad. Won't be sorry to see the back of that Faes character though, dirty sod.

I've never slagged off Bruno for his football but I have for his captaincy on the pitch. But lately I've seen a massive change and now he's really getting involved 'verbally' with his team. In short he's becoming something we've missed for a long time.....a proper Captain clap

I really wish Bruno had come out and said “I hear their point of view and I’ll take it all on board and improve if I can. Ultimately, I’m the current United captain and I’m giving everything I can so I don’t care what anyone thinks“
Keano’s just a miserable old git now in the same mould as Souness. They both need an angle to criticise to perpetuate their career as a pundit (or whinger). Other pundits add some insight but generally they just pick faults.

They are told to be controversial , and Keane obviously has a very high standard he expects from United players .

Some positive news. Heaven is up and walking around. Protective boot, but walking unaided when he left the stadium according to journalists.

That sounds like good news. Was fearful of a long term career effecting injury when he was carried off. Hopefully all the players on international duty return injury free and none of the ones that stay pick up anything either.

Been really impressed with the little I've seen of Heaven so far. You can see why he's ahead of Lindelof in the pecking order.

Credit to Amorim and INEOS for this, but we suddenly have a crop of interesting young players.

Heaven (18), Yoro (19), Amad (22), Collyer (21), Mainoo (19), Garnacho (20), Chido (17), Amass (18), Dorgu (21) all around the 1st team to varying extents.

Throw in the likes of Ugarte (23), De Ligt (25), ZZ (23), Hojlund (22) and the profile of what we have got feels a far cry from the squad age profile of recent years.

Of course some have their flaws, some won't make it etc.

But it at least feels as if we could be building something, rather than looking at short term sticking plaster solutions which we've tended to do.

Talking of our youngsters, anybody know how Silva Mexes is getting on? He's 15 now and was INEOS's sirst signing. His dad is Welsh legend Robert Earnshaw bow

All I can find is he's just been training at the U17's training camp for Thailand!
