Maguire injured, first minutes his missed in PL since singing
That’s an incredible effort
Always concede first goal, need to do something there
But our mentality Is u score 1 we will score 3
Ole has turned our attitude into winners, no matter the circumstance we think we can get out of it
Shows great character
Will miss Maguire hopefully not to bad of injury
Excellent 3 points, top 4 secured
Not to rest a few troops
Need trophies on the board to solidify that mindset.

As for the next few weeks...
Rest for Leicester. Hope they beat us. With a Lindelöf and Bailly pairing, expecting they might nab us.
Liverpool. Bring some troops in.
Full strength for Fulham. Need Cavani to play in front of fans to make that boy stay.
Rest for Wolves.

Also - that it matters, but Martial could be back. Hopefully will give Cavani a break, but wouldnt mind seeing Greenwood at 9.

Ole flip-flopped in the Slabhead injury. At first, it was thought could be a month, but then he was saying he will probably just miss the Leicester game. Need him to start in Gdansk

Edi’s goal just highlighted how good his movement is in the box. He would be a nightmare to defend against

Super happy with this.

Just need someone to support him now, cause Martial isn't the answer anymore. He cannot play the role of second fiddle, and has struggled after his deadly form towards the back end of last season.
The answer is Sancho, I can't remember where I saw it but part of our problems were not creating enough chances and that's what Sancho will bring.

Eventually Greenwood will take over Edi, although I think the club will go Sancho this transfer season and next year will target another forward to challenge Greenwood. By that stage Diallo will be old enough to challenge/backup Rashford and Sancho.

Mjebri and Garner to come through for centre mid as well, future is looking bright!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

great news regarding Edi, but we need to be making sure we extend Pogba too
we lose him and its 2 steps back again - no matter how of a %*&t his manager is, Pogba is pivotal to this team
another quality CB is needed as well and CDM, but we won't get all this next window

priorities are holding onto Pogba and getting Sancho

Pogba is staying, his agent backtracked a couple of weeks ago, Raiola basically said as long as United are capable of winning the major trophies, pogba is happy to stay. Also no other club can afford him in this covid market.

Looks like the 2 major targets will be Sancho and declan rice

Greenwood is one of the best finishers I have ever seen.

Left foot, right foot, the power he can generate from little lead up work... that goal against AV was absolute quality - to a neutral fan, they see a goal. But for many pundits and former players - that is an absolute quality finish. He settled the ball with his right, finds his feet, rifles a left-footed shot into a small pocket. Sacrifices lift for speed. Beats the keeper at his near post with little room to work with.

Has a good cross on him too.

As for PP - if he doesn't sign a contract by the end of the next window, then we're at huge risk of losing him for nothing. This upcoming window is the biggest we've had in the Post-SAF era. Manchester City, for all their dominance over the last decade, have only retained their title once, and were pushed the whole way.

Great effort from the young lads today
Ole trotted out a second 11 and they took Leicester all the way
He had no choice but to rest our first 11
Fantastic , really stuck it to em
Future is bright with those young boys
Happiest loss ever

I still think Liverpool qualify for 4th.

Leicester (66 points) need 4 points to go out of range of them. They play Chelsea and Tottenham in their last 2.

Liverpool (57) can finish on 69 points if they win their last 4 - ManU, West Brom, Burnley and Crystal Palace.

Anyone watch the game how did DVB go?
I didn't mate - but the below is a rating from the MEN (if you're a fan of Samuel Luckhurst).

Donny van de Beek

Struggled again. Barely demonstrated the pedigree that convinced United to sign him. 4
