A fairly standard home performance, nothing unusual.

My thoughts are with those who also had to sit through that.

Again proven how crap our bench players are. Would prefer to see the likes of Pellistri and Diallo rather than lingard.

When people call some of our backup players championship level they are right. Glad we got it done but our 2nd team is some drop from the 1st

What an utterly crap performance. Couldn't keep possession for 2 minutes in some stages. Dire.

Got the result. Rested most of the first XI. McSauce paying with composure. Thats about it though. Hope Bailley isnt crocked.

I missed the first half, Bailly got injured as usual?

Not a great watch.

Can't expect to chuck players in who haven't played for weeks/months and expect a performance.

I actually thought James did alright, but Greenwood offered him nothing in the box.

Bruno got a rest, VdB had a nice run-out, we looked pretty comfortable. Hopefully Bailly’s not too shook.

Win and that is what matters in cups.

Not the best game but we did what we needed. Referee needs to take it easy. Every contact was freekick for him. Took away the little flow it was in the game.

Abysmal watch but for as long as I've watched United every time we rest a whole team it's always disjointed as feck and people complain that our backups aren't good enough
If you bring in any 11 players who barely play and don't play together that will most likely be the case though.

Job done, but poor from some of the lads looking to make the first team.

Rested almost the whole first 11 and won. The only positives. Performance was pretty hideous but ah well a lot of deadwood was on the pitch.

Absolutely stinking game, especially 2nd half.

Was to be expected though, when you start a game with the likes of Lingard, James, a shockingly out of form Greenwood and a 50 year old Mata you're not going to look very good.

At least we won.

Pretty poor apart from the first 20 minutes but that's sometimes to be expected when there are wholesale changes.

That being said, the objective for Ole would have been to get his team through to the next round and we did that by resting quite a few of our players.
