Great entertaining game. My only issue, we had a great chance to significantly improve GD. Still happy.

90 minutes of pure fun. A cracker in every sense of fun. 10/10 I will watch again.

Can we play them every week ?

That was brilliant, what a game. I didn't want it to end.

If you can't enjoy that then you may as well give up watching football.

McTominay was unbelievable today, an absolutely sensational performance. Hopefully the injury isn't bad.

I think we would've scored a couple more had Pogba come on to take advantage of that space. Nevertheless one of our best performances of the season so far, albeit helped enormously by Leeds' horrific defending.

Even after battering Leeds Neville and Tyler were continuing to gush over Leed's despite their gash defending.

Fantastic performance, took them at their own game and destroyed them. Should have been 8!

a bit of dodgy defending that we need to sort but it was a real effort. Well done boys

Great game of football to watch. Shame about the two conceded, but we all know we have a weakness at the back.
Disappointed it wasn't more if I'm honest. There were some great chances we squandered. Martial needs to find his confidence in front of goal, because normally I would be certain of him scoring those two chances. Apart from that though, I think he had a great game leading the line. Some of his hold-up play was brilliant.

What a game of football! Both teams really went hammer and tongs at each other, end to end all game and could have been any score really!

Scott McTominay will get MOTM for what is probably the best game he has played in a United shirt, really was a force of nature today and hope his injury isn’t too bad. But Fernandes, Rashford, Martial and Fred were also extremely good too.

Lets keep this momentum going, some tough games coming up!

Seriously, that's how all football matches should be played.

Pure entertainment from start to finish.

That we ended up 6-2 winners is the icing on the cake.

Third and rising :drool:

Entertaining game but can’t take much from the score. Could have been double figures and should have really. Pub game.

Wonderful game of football. Genuinely didn't want it to end.

Im not sure theres any point analysing it in too much detail. Ole picked the right team, credit to him for that. It looked like every player enjoyed themselves out there, and I've never been as nervous 4-1 up as I was after half time.

6 wins a draw from 7 now. Anyone still Ole out can do one

Finally a fun game to watch. That was amazing. We could have easily had 10 goals.

Martial is utterly impressive. Two assists and a penalty. Could have two goals and other to assists at least.

McT was brilliant, like a man possessed. Fred was amazing too, everywhere. Didn't even bothered that he didn't give the ball for Cavani to tap in.

So much fun.

Don't think I have seen a game quite like that in a long time. Deeply entertaining. Obviously both teams could have scored so many more. Such an open game. Delighted to beat Leeds obviously.

Frankly, I think we can play 2 DMs here if we want. We need to win the ball when Leeds pour forward. If we do that well enough, our front 4 are more than enough to wreak havoc given how Leeds leave themselves horribly exposed. This is a game we could absolutely trash them without even dominating. Just by executing clinically. I hope they lose their heads gloriously like they love to and have a right good go!

Called it! From yesterday in the match thread. Just the kind of game I expected. Bonkers, beautiful stuff. Well done to both sides for giving us such a spectacle. Viva United! We're on a roll...

One for the ages, absolutely loved every minute of it. Two great, exciting attacking teams going all out. This United team has definitely got another level or two in them I reckon.

Enjoyable game. Utd should've had 10. Martial's composure in front of goal is shocking. Good thing Leeds didn't have the quality to expose our frequent defensive mistakes too.

3rd from top with a game in hand. It's been painful at times, but we are in there now.

Great stuff from lads, tighten that back four and we'll be in, at the end. Well done today.

Crazy game, both teams could have got into double figures!

Come on Utd, more of the slick football and tighten up at the back and we are good

:P

Entertaining game thanks to Leeds defending like a pub team. But i have to say our finishing is really becoming a worry. It's absolutely disgusting and was the reason of us crashing out in CL.

But yeah great game and good for our goal difference.

What do you do with Martial? Can't finish easy chances this season.

Red Card for Casemiro!
First time we scored more than 5 goals at home since that 8-2 against Arsenal, and it tells you the kind of performance we put out today when, like most of us, I feel that we could still have had four more.

Ridiculous game to watch - refreshing to see us start the game strong. Really enjoyed our attacking game but defensively we were shocking. Leeds could’ve easily scored another 2-3 goals. But the same goes for us. Martial missed some really shocking chances.
