Excited to see if ole gets any credit at all

Glad diallos debut is out of the way hopefully people forget about him now and find his way into the team naturally

Great performance. Bruno and James very good, but Diallo clearly man of the match.

Fantastic performance that. Absolutely killed them on the counter all day. Such a shame we fecked it up vs Istanbul, we would actually be pretty well set to compete in the CL imo.

Niiice. I loved this. Bruno is a god amongst men, obviously.

I don't want to see him, Rashford, Maguire, Wan Bissaka, and Shaw anywhere near the starting XI for the second leg. The dream would be to start Amad but Ole probably won't.

I think we see that the personnel is the problem of our defence. Henderson and Bailly for rest of the season, thanks.

Good performance and an entertaining watch.

Hopefully Ole gives Diallo a bit more game time in the return leg.

Everyone apologise to Ole again you horrible barstools. :wenger:

Clean sheet, four goals away from home. Good stuff.

Love the small technical details from Diallo's debut. Would have been such a fairytale debut if the defender had fallen for the deke and allowed him a clear shot on goal.

Absolutely buzzing with the result!

Good performance and result.
Allows us to rest up most of the big players for the second leg.

I really like Henderson.

Excellent result and performance. Tactics were spot on, and we really could have scored 8 tonight - which if there is a downside it would be our finishing again.

McTominay was impressive. Stand out player for me, but everyone played well really.

Get to rest players for the 2nd leg now. Superb

Excellent win away from home in Europe. Many great performances tonight but hats off to James who has had his best game in a while. Many of our top players have probs got a night off next week too which is a bonus.

Excited for the return leg. Should be seeing a lot more of Amad and possibly some of Mejbri too.

A job done very well.

2nd best in the Premier League v the 5th best in La Liga and it showed tonight. Sociedad simply could cope with Uniteds pace and movement and could easily have scored 8 but won't complain about a 4-0 win which allows a 2nd string side for the 2nd leg in Old Trafford.

Fantastic performance. Rashford and Bruno fantastic. James is finding his niche. Henderson is begging for his chance.

Only watched the last 20 minutes we played some great football in several instances for them, and James' goal was quality. Shame I didn't manage to watch the entire game but great job from everyone making it this easy. Spanish teams have always been a problem for us but we finally managed to completely dominate one of them.

And it's great to have a game we can finally rest the entire team in. Much needed in our schedule.

Hopefully we manage to win it this year as really this is our best chance for a trophy. I'll fancy us against Spurs, Milan and Arsenal.
