I was actually laughing after the second goal went in. Even when CR7 scored the goal, I wasn't that wound up since we had played reasonably well and put up quite a fight. Somehow knew Mata would score from that FK. The second goal was not expected.

Fantastic smash n grab! Martial back to his best & my MOTM. Thought we played well & were very solid but also panicked at times. A lack of concentration handing them a fantastic finish from Ronnie but we kept picking away & got our just deserves from Mata & a bit of mayhem luck. A draw would have been a fair score line. Anyway who cares priceless 3 points & on to the next. Have to say this was a very Fergie like performance & really enjoyed the watch. Brilliant!

To be fair, we've just played one of the best teams in the competition and while we were not the better team for most of the match, we won and they weren't THAT difficult for the majority of the match. Playing like we did tonight we'll do alright against a lot of teams, and we can also do better
Being completely honest we were extremely lucky. Juve missed several chances and we managed to score from a beauty from Mata and a severe mistake of juve’s defence. That doesnt happens to often. We could replay this match 10 times and we would lost 9.

Like I said, lets just enjoy the victory right now but we have to improve alot before we become truly contenders.

Got to say, I was really confident Mata was gonna score that as soon as I saw him step up. He's just a brilliant free kick taker. The best thing Pogba did all night was to win that free kick.

Unreal result. Kept a decent shape but rode our luck for sure. Awful midfield performance, Herrera gave his all but lacked the composure on the ball tonight, Matic is in a poor run of form, Pog was very poor.

Love a good robbery away from home though, especially against top opposition. Build on this for Sunday

Amazing how we look quite good when we actually attack!
We don't want to blow teams away, why we only seem to give a feck after we go behind. FIFA probably on our case about it to keep games competitive.

What did Mourinho do?

Also judging from the live updates I’m guessing we were lucky as hell?
No we played decent against a better side and we kept going until the end and it paid off.

Jose and the players deserve credit for the improvement since the Newcastle game. We are attacking much better and defending a little better each game, just not always for more than 60 minutes.

I was thinking to myself that Juve are well stacked except for the goaly. Schnezy is an alright goaly but certainly not world class
They’ve got quite a few who are punching. Not convinced Di Sciglio, Bonucci, Matuidi, Cuadrado or Bentancur would be all that if you put them in any other team.

Don't know what happened but we were lucky and thank God we really need that luck. But we were not that good team and we still shy to attack only blame Jose. And wtf Jose did? Why ? That's so embarrassing for the club.

Poor performance. Amazing result.

So many of our players appeared to get stage fright. Pogba was shocking.

Quality free-kick from Mata. Lucky 2nd goal.

Based on what happened in the past 3 games at Turin? We will win all 10 games, 100%.

Took me awhile to accept that second goal was half expecting it to be disallowed. Was stuck mid celebration for about 15 seconds...

When the freekick was awarded and Mata was on the pitch I knew there would be only one outcome and that outcome came true.
One of the best freekick takers in Europe when closer to goal.

So if we beat young boys and Juve beat Valencia, we will be through right?

I forgot how nerve racking it is to be winning a game like that in the final minutes, glad it was only injury time and not the last 20 minutes we had to see out, fantastic result.

Nope. He’s had a 6 week period in his entire career where he’s played well and he’s 26 next month. Shouldn’t be starting for us. He’s had more than enough chances and running off the ball just doesn’t cut it for an attacking player for MUFC. It’s what he does with the ball that counts.

Anyway delighted we won but the game changed with the subs.
I can see you've made your mind up then :D

A performance for the whole of Europe to stand up and pay attention. The mighty United are back. Particularly delighted to see Young rewarded for his brilliance in steering the ball off Szczesny, Bonucci and Sandro and into the back of the net, and glad for football, as it would have been a terrible injustice had Ronaldo's lucky goal settled the contest, especially after such dominance from United.
You need to pick a different team or sport mate. If you can't derive enjoyment from wins like that then perhaps it's time to move on?

Nights like tonight are what we need to savour. They can also give players a huge confidence boost and confidence in sport is huge.

"We lacked the presence of fellani to change the game" said mourinho after defeat at old Trafford.

Fellani and mata changed the game at Turin.

Absolutely delighted, unbelievable result. Worth bearing in mind that Juve are undefeated at home in Europe 15 years... the last time they were beaten was in 2003 by us.

The players hung in there, Martial was amazing, but I feel Fellaini changed the game.

Wonderful result, another similar result at the weekend would be most welcome.

Also, feck Juve and Cristiano.
