Swallowed up all the loose balls in the second half. Wonderful performance which helped us maintain sustained pressure on Hull.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

Jekyll and Hyde performance today. Bad first half but excellent in the second.
The Octopus.
Legs everywhere.
Legs everywhere.
Brilliant in the 2nd half I thought. Broke their attacks numerous times, was everywhere, always close to them and close to the ball when we attacked.
Oh feck off. Last thing we need is injuries
He fell when trying to get catch up with the forward and ended up tripping him.
What happened?
ffs
Hopefully he'll recover in time for City. Break might be coming at a good time for us then.
back injury. Bad one as well apparently
It's really frustrating to have a clumsy buffoon in midfield but I have to admit he's been generally excellent at recovering possession under Mourinho. Not entirely sure why that is because it certainly wasn't the case under van Gaal, but right now it's like a magnet to him. Really helps us sustain pressure when every time the opposition hurriedly get rid of the ball it just gets mopped up by mop-head and starts all over again. Hasn't been overly ponderous in possession either.
Fantastic second half. Him and Bailly winning every long ball allowed us to keep the pressure on them. Credit where its due, guy is having a fantastic season so far.
Feck hope he recovers quickly from that injury. He was sloppy first half but very good in the second; didn't give Hull a sniff at starting a counter attack despite being on a yellow.
I didn't see him get an injury in the game?
The feck, he's injured? Any confirmation anywhere?
So apparently it's bad. Would think it will be Morgan to come in against City. Will need to be a big performance from him.
Jose said in his press conference.
Is this serious? My first thought was it was one of those pre international break "knocks".
Good thing Bastian is still at the club...

Awful comparison. Fellaini is basically the complete opposite of Carrick, whose best qualities were his positioning (preventing duels) and calm passing, while Fellaini tries to engage in as many physical encounters possible which makes him much more of a highlight player. Carrick's critics just weren't observant enough (and also had Keane and Scholes to compare him to) - Fellaini's best and worst qualities were always on show.
Not good, he has played very well and been a good partner for Pogba. Let us hope he can come back with the break coming.
Injury 
It's interesting who will take his place now
It's interesting who will take his place now
That moment when CAF is sad/angry because Afroman got injured hahaha
I thought he was really good in the second half, continually won the ball back and which allowed us to stay on the front foot.
Awful about the injury.
Schiderlin would get my vote ahead of Herrera.Injury
It's interesting who will take his place now
But hopefully he recovers before the game... Wow didnt think i'd be saying that about him at the start of the season
How long is he out for ffs
sad about the injury as he's been playing well.Injury
It's interesting who will take his place now
that said, it might be time for schneiderlin to prove his worth.
Before saying stuff like this, think about it. There must be a reason why he is preferred over those players. The alternative is what, that mourinho picks his name out of a hat and hoped he has a good game and got lucky?
Hell if Jose can get Fellaini playing at his best I'd love to see what he'll do with Schneiderlin.
I dont understand how he has a back injury. He looked fine the whole game!
I would think Schneiderlin. Carrick hasn't even made our bench in the league and is slow and I feel Jose wouldn't be too keen on a Herrera/Pogba midfield pairing. Schneiderlin is very different to Fellaini but both are combative and Morgan certainly knows how to play as a defensive minded midfielder.Injury
It's interesting who will take his place now
Just heard he's done his back. Season in doubt. back injuries take long to heal.

Just when everything was going well Ffs. Did Mourinho say anything about how bad the injury was?
Where does it say his season is in doubt
Mixed bag today, in the first 2 games he did a good job of just shepherding players when they came at him, but today he was putting some of his clumsy fouls in, but in the second half he wised up and made some good interceptions.. I genuinely don't think he's technically or athletically good enough to be a long term solution there, but Jose has some rule about so many 6 footers in the team in the PL and while Blind remains at CB he'll remain in the team I imagine.
Hopefully just mind games ahead of City.
Frustrating all right. Fellaini was good, though, today. Hope he is ok.
Id wager it's an excuse to give him two weeks off.
