Brilliant cross. Rashy gonna Rashy.
Absolute nightmare to defend those crosses.
It was nice seeing you play Luke.
This Malacia kid is a starter by November. Even sooner i'd reckon.

Hadn't seen him much to this point but a really good cross by Rashford. Nearly found Martial!
Arborist. He was up the tree taking the top off it, something went wrong and he fell, then the tree came down on top of him.
Just bad luck really.
That doesn't sound very pleasant.
Rashford dreadful again
Going forward was always his strengths, his numbers last season show it.
Maguire is long ball resistant
We should have signed Sterling for all these cut backs.
tbf he is only just 23. Bound to be somewhat inconsistent that age.
Imagine that it's just taken three weeks of coaching to teach the team how to pass their way out of a press. Makes you wonder what they've been doing in training for the past three and a half years.
I'm not a hater of the person, why would I when I don't know him, but I do/did hate his demeanour on the pitch.
We all know he has quality within him but we've seen precious little in recent seasons and, coupled with his sullen attitude, it's little wonder fans have criticised him.
If he recovers his form under ETH then no doubt all, including me, will be happy to have him on the pitch.
Let's hope this early promise continues!
Malacia seems to be taking a very central position at times. Interesting.
This team is going to look so much different with Eriksen and Martinez plus hopefully de Jong in it. I hope the forwards have their finishing boots on.
Whoever doesnt see an improvement in the way we play is blind.
Its quite interesting the way we beat the press, not just that we have moved Maguire to RCB as well.
Malacia looks really bright.
Is it wishing thinking on my part or de we legit look like a competent football team right now?
What is ETH doing out there? It's not the United way to have so many players in the box
Slight pressure on bruno and he loses the ball.
I think there's more to it than that, having watched them a bit further.
Dalot seems to have been in more of a wingback role on the right, rather than inverted fullback. Meanwhile on the left, Malacia and Fred are taking turns to get forward while the other drops back into a back 3.
It seems to be quite an asymmetrical system. But not in a bad way.
7 white shirts in the penalty box? Jose would have had an aneurysm by now.
Fred is refusing to float the ball right to Dalot/Sancho
2 assists in 65 competitive appearances for United.
Some decent positives but our midfield looks poor and De Gea needs to get off his line and sweep up those long balls.
malacia can take corners too
Close!
Malacia looks a proper talent.
We've played very well.
Great football from us
Loud applause for Maguire!
Clyne ex Liverpool cnut
Malacia is very very involved.
I'm impressed by Malacia so far, looks very lively.
Yeah it’s very noticeable. He seems to have the energy levels and enthusiasm of a couple of years ago. We may have something to work with.
Malacia is getting battered 
Damn, would have been great to see Maguire score that.
Bruno seems to be struggling with the pitch, he's scuffing everything.
Good first half from us till now
