A win in such way is what a team needed. We needed this sort of confidence. Get in and hopefully we carry it on for the upcoming matches.

please don't let this save his job.

players have shown a pulse, hopefully next manager can take them forward.

happy for the win. Pogba was immense.

Manchester Utd never lose, just run out of time
That's what can happen when we actually attack.

Pogba and Martial were fantastic once we got going. That performance will hopefully cement Martial's spot on the left for the foreseeable future. And hopefully Mourinho, if he continues, realises that playing excessively defensively as he has been is just inviting pressure and we need to have an attacking mindset to play.

Great comeback. I wrote us off at half time (I actually felt it was game over at 1-0, let alone 2), but boy am I glad to have to eat my words.

Plenty of negatives, but why bother ruining your evening worrying about those after such an exciting last minute comeback win.

Hopefully this is a turning point, the players actually showed up and showed some grit.

I hate to be that guy, but I really struggle to get excited over that. I can't even call it a false dawn, due to the fact I have no idea what will happen next.

Regardless, I'm extremely happy that we got 3 points after being 2-0 down. No matter what happens, winning must take precedence.

We won but our rivals would have put 6 past these today with ease. Jose should still go and make all our lives easier for it.

He stays for the big games and top 4 will well and trully gone.

Pogba was obscene...MOTM.

Hope this means we never play Mctomonay ever again.

Players apparently downed tools yet he was saved by Martial and Pogba lol. They do care, anyone who said they don't watch that second half.
They havent given a shit all season. Today, they did. The effort and quality was phenomenal and like the United of old. Well done to the team.

How could we have been so bad, and than be so good.

Mourinho deserves 0 credit for this. Martial and Pogba fecking carried us the last 20 minutes. Players fighting for their pride, not their manager.

Papering over cracks. We won't start the next game with that intensity because the manager won't let them.

Never felt this down after a win before.

Hope, We Lose
If 45 minutes of playing okay is enough for some of our fans they'll deserve how far down Mourinho is dragging us.

But its not enough for me so I hope we part ways very soon.

Hope it’s not a false dawn of things to come but it was New Castle. Good come back. Great performance from Pogba and Shaw.

First team and initial subs were a bit weird but Mata with the goal, Sanchez with the goal, and a shift by Fellaini was just enough to beat a relegation bound New Castle.

Still not good enough over 90’ and Jose should still go if we’re evaluating match to match.

That second half performance though :drool: Was like the opposite of parking the bus with just one central defender and two fullbacks.

Maybe Woody came in at half time and told the players he will only fire Jose on a winning note.

Attack is the best form of defence.

Martial and Pogba are our two best players. If Jose wants this to work, he has to tickle their egos and let them play.

He keeps wondering why it takes a hit of some sort for his team to respond.. it’s simple. He’s an underdog. He doesn’t start the fight until he’s pinned down. He spent way too much time in the first half feckin around trying to burn mctominay alive in a ritual against the board and then took his thumb out for the second half

Forget the manager, the Boards, and all those other nonsensical stuff.

I'm just savoring this great feeling of attacking football, and great comeback to win the game.

And give that French chap whatever he wants. Tie him up for another 5 years contract, also.

Honestly think players decided feck tactics lets just go for it
actually think you're right.

How times have changed. Celebrating a comeback against a bottom feeder club at home!

Tactics and everything were complete sh1t. Newcastle had chances to put the game to bed - multiple chances.

He really has to go.

Delighted for Jose because he knows he probably doesn’t have 11 players who want to play for him.

The players that don’t want to play for him should be shipped out and not the manager. Spoilt brats and it’s completly unacceptable.
Shut up.

Jose is the problem, not the players.

Cool. Now get a manager where players always perform like in the 2nd half please.

Great comeback. I thought it was all over after 60 minutes but it showed that the team is good enough when he let's them off the leash.

We have got the players to create and score goals. It's the way we set up that makes us look so feckless.

Such a confusing game.

Obviously seeing some fight was good, but we’ve been rubbish all season and nearly lost points to Newcastle. We were clearly poorly organised yet again.

We played a team joint bottom with Cardiff. Excellent 2nd half, but Jose still needs to go.
