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.

Agree completely. They're not convincing at all. Barca could still take them easily over two legs, as could City and Liverpool.

 

[sunama]

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.

Don't mind the Jose haters. They are truly a miserable bunch who are desperate to see us lose.
Our recent run of decent results is hurting them badly and I take great joy in seeing that.

 

[JohnnyKills]

Martin Keown in the last couple of minutes of the game genuinely said it could be Manchester United’s best ever win in the Champions League...

When it comes to winning in the Champions League, Martin Keown's view doesn't hold too much weight.

 

[Eddy_JukeZ]

That can't be true, they lost to Real this year.

Might be group stages only for the above stat.

 

[sunama]

This is only the 2nd time Juve have lost a CL group game, in the last 15 years....apparently.

 

[redshaw]

Swedish reporter just asked Jose about the scenes at the end. Jose asked her is she knew italian, which she said no. Then he said that she should ask the FA so that they can translate it to her while laughting

Hahaha. Nice one Jose.

 

[JohnnyKills]

How were we robbed we were second best in that game overall you talk like we dominated or something get real pal all our wins have been scrappy games tell me this when did we last win a game say three or four nil and had seventy percent possession please tell me .

Mourinho's gone at the end of the year mate. Just chill out and enjoy the ride.

 

[Patrick08]

He also emphasised how the Cristiano goal was made by a CENTRAL DEFENDER - he may have a point

He always had a point on Cb.

 

[Niall]

How were we robbed we were second best in that game overall you talk like we dominated or something get real pal all our wins have been scrappy games tell me this when did we last win a game say three or four nil and had seventy percent possession please tell me .

Many many many of Fergie's European away victories were not unlike this win tonight. Under pressure a lot of the game, second best at times, giving away chances but staying organised and playing until the end to get something.

If you can't enjoy the win then that's a real shame.

 

[sunama]

We need to defend well against City for sure, then smash and grab.

If we can go in 1-0 down at HT, I fancy us to beat MCFC.
MCFC need to score 3 goals. That's the only way you can completely kill MUFC.

 

[Patrick08]

Did he forget that semifinal

 

[RedTillI'mDead]

This is only the 2nd time Juve have lost a CL group game, in the last 15 years....apparently.

Frist since 2008/09, cant remember the year, but a damn long time.

Incredible really. We started declining significantly until we both made subs and ours paid off where as theirs cost them the game.

 

[Judas]

Martin Keown in the last couple of minutes of the game genuinely said it could be Manchester United’s best ever win in the Champions League...

That was a shockingly bad comment, and he comes out with a lot of shockingly bad comments every game.

 

[Hanky panky]

To think it would have easily been 3-1

I would say more like a 5-1.

 

[CA1]

They were the better team which I think most expected but it wasn't as much of a smash and grab as some are saying. We gave them a good game and played very well.

It should do wonders for our teams confidence. Which is very fragile.

 

[Ballache]

Martin Keown in the last couple of minutes of the game genuinely said it could be Manchester United’s best ever win in the Champions League...

What does he know about great wins in the CL though?

 

[MadMike]

So next round, we play Young Boys at home while Juve host Valencia. If these results go as expected we could be through after the next game and not have to worry about the trip to Valencia. I'd take that.

 

[Chicharo]

Mata's perfect free kick aside, exchange of passes that lead to the foul was wonderful.

 

[Mibabalou]

What a game!

Loved the attitude of the whole team, 1-0 away could have easily given up but they kept pushing and we got the win.

 

[spwd]

Who predicted it? Me of course, shame I slept through it all

 

[JB08]

why do you care though?

What? I'm just making a comment. I thought it was a silly thing to say.

 

[GaryLifo]

Don't mind the Jose haters. They are truly a miserable bunch who are desperate to see us lose.

Me too!

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

Bit of a smash and grab. We were definitely better then we were at home, though.

From the start of the game, we pressed up the pitch, and at times, won the ball high up the pitch.

We kept the ball pretty decent at times, and created good openings, but we didn't really threaten.

Think we responded well, having gone a goal down. Again, created some good moments, but never really looked like scoring.

Thankfully, two moments of magic won us the game. Mata's free kick and Young's delivery.

Great win and should give us plenty of confidence going into the next game.

 

[Oldyella]

Scholes saying Szczesny hasn't improved since he left Arsenal. How many times do you reckon he has watched him since?

Probably once, and hes not really wrong. He's an obvious weak link in that side.

 

[rojo81]

Very good win for United, congrats. Felt we were unlucky and should be up by at least another goal before Mata’s freekick, but thats football. On to the next one.

 

[Wheato]

I think there is still the bones of a decent side in there somewhere. Herrera made a huge difference, dunno where he has been all season. The first half pressing and counter-attacking was exactly what we have been missing all season. You can start to see the pieces of the jigsaw that fit and the ones that don't. I think Rashford on from the start would have really stretched them. Pogba was awful. The mobility of Lingard has really been missed, because he is always available to receive the ball and when he's not he is dragging the opposition players around and creating space. I would start with the same line up at City, but maybe with Rashford instead of Sanchez.

Oh you misjudge completely. I loved it.

Sadly for us old timers this seems to be the current prevailing attitude on your lovely forum. Winning like tonight is what Ferguson brought us all up on.

People moan that the team has no identity, but comebacks and late goals was our identity for 20 odd years and long may it continue.

 

[GaryLifo]

Oh you misjudge completely. I loved it.

Fair enough then.

 

[sincher]

It is much more satisfying winning as underdogs and battling to the end to do it.

Bring on City.

 

[Inter Yer Nan]

This is only the 2nd time Juve have lost a CL group game, in the last 15 years....apparently.

You mean a home game? They lost a group game to Atletico in 2014 and I think went out at the group stage a year earlier so surely that record is just pertaining to home games?

 

[GaryLifo]

Very good win for United, congrats. Felt we were unlucky and should be up by at least another goal before Mata’s freekick, but thats football. On to the next one.

I think you can let us have this one. Hopefully both teams go through and if United can't win it I'd be happy to see Juve win instead.

 

[Canagel]

We only threatened in the last 15 minutes after we made our subs and juventus brought barzagli to protect their lead. It gave us back the initiative andd turned the game in our direction. Before that was quite poor.

 

[tedketterman]

Agree completely. They're not convincing at all. Barca could still take them easily over two legs, as could City and Liverpool.

So can United.

 

[Random Task]

Swedish reporter just asked Jose about the scenes at the end. Jose asked her is she knew italian, which she said no. Then he said that she should ask the FA so that they can translate it to her while laughting

This is the Jose we know and love

Not the guy who whines about a lack of funding on a near weekly basis, not the guy who enters open conflict with half his squad and board members, not the guy who feels the need to constantly remind the world of what he has achieved in his career and certainly not the guy who publically condemns his own players after a poor team performance.

More wise cracks, more winding up of opposition players/managers and more witty comments in the press are what the fans want to see. Make them hate us. Make them adore us, but for the love of god don't let them ignore us.

 

[cyberman]

So we have a better head to head than Juve right? Or do away goals not count like this?

 

[Nick7]

So we have a better head to head than Juve right? Or do away goals not count like this?

Away goals count

 

[No Idea For Nickname]

But, but, we played Red Star, and they played Juventus!

Sooo happy!

 

[Canagel]

Very good win for United, congrats. Felt we were unlucky and should be up by at least another goal before Mata’s freekick, but thats football. On to the next one.

I thought you guys were in total control but should've taken your chances when you were on top. Khedira and Cuadrado epseicslly. 1-0 always leaves the game open and we basically attacked for the last 10 minutes only and got 2 goals out of it. It happens.

 

[AndyMUFC]

Absolutely brilliant, just shows what can happen when you stay in games! We were always going to need a bit of luck to get something and we got it. Fantastic strike by Ronaldo but Mata and Fellaini made a huge difference when they came on. Tell you what, the Moyes boys don't half score some big goals for us.

Hopefully Valencia away will be a dead rubber now. Hopefully!
