    We can't play football. One of the worst top sides I have seen in possession.

    I genuinely cannot think of a reason as to why Maguire missed that. I would have scored that, everyone reading this would have scored that.

    We are all over the place particularly up top. Very lucky how it is still 0-0. Thank feck Ibra isn’t playing as he’d be enjoying this up against Maguire.

    Maguire’s miss is worser than Iwelumo’s one for Scotland against Norway about over a decade ago

    Its been very poor. Woeful passing and a really lethargic attitude.

    Maguires miss was comical.

    The Greenwood experiment as wide forward is simply not working, he looks lost.

    We'll end up putting on luke shaw for some attacking intent. Sad state of affairs for a club of our size.

    We look very light weight upfront with only martial, greenwood not in the game and not much on the bench in midfield or attack bar 2 kids.

    Of course we get a meaningless victory against City against all odds but fail to beat teams when it matters. Same old story and I look forward to enjoying it 5 or 6 times every season for the foreseeable future under Ole.

    Cant believe that maguire miss. He always gets on the end of the ball but he can never finish it to save his life.

    Another bad half of football from Ole's team and nothing remotely surprising about it.

    I'd love to see Amad on to have a run at Dalot. I think he'd have him in toast. Won't happen like.

    Where the grass is greener.
    De Gea, Shaw, Fred, Pogba, Cavani and Rashford all not playing and you think this is our best team?
    Jesus christ of course not, of what we can put out, quite obviously. Sometimes you have to spell things out so clearly on here, because people can't use their big boy brains and do a bit of extra thinking :lol:

    People in here are weird, he literally set up the shot with his arm.



    He’s a massive United fan.
    Only meant to have a year left on his deal although Milan trying to sort a new contract.

    Thought he’s looked good - strong and quick while being proactive with the ball. Some finish as well.

    Not bad. Not great either.

    We have been in conrol last 20-25 minutes. Missing real quality in last 3rd. I see no problem.

    People here are panicing. We are playing Milan. Not Bristol Rovers,
    We’re playing their reserves though

    This is again another terrible performance.

    The City game aside (ok but not great) we have been awful for months in general.

    Complete contrast to last seasons run in.

    This is not knee jerk, as I've had the view for a while, but this is why I believe Ole has taken us as far as he can- time and time again we start slowly and time and time again we can't break down defensive sides.

    Why hasn't Ole put something in place to rectify this? It keeps happening, so needs to be sorted.
    It was more of an issue last season I'd say. We've generally done well against defensive teams this year (besides a few shocking performances), but underperformed against the top sides.

    I would more put this down to having played a very intense game on sunday and having 4 of our best players out so unable to rotate

    That was seriously bad from us in the first half. Attack looks absolutely woeful, defence has been bad and that Maguire miss. We are lucky to not be behind already. Bench doesn't look reassuring either.

    Commentator nailed it
    McTom gets the ball with matic in space, he then dribbles the ball into the space matic was already in before playing it to Bruno after 7/8 touches
    let the ball do the running!
    one pass into matic, touch and into bruno, not saying we’d of scored but it would give Milan less time to man mark him

    Dreadful half. McTominay and Matic in the midfield are like two broken down lorries. Cowardly tactics at home vs a depleted AC Milan side.

    Looking at the bench, we only have Fred!

    unfortunately, it has come to the point I associate United with the worst football you can imagine and watch. horrible.

    Hope, We Lose
    Brahim Diaz getting too much space in the number 10 positions

    McTominay on the ball and Bailly are the only real encouraging performers so far

    Matic has been dissappointing

    If we consider that Milan are missing so many important players for themselves its certainly not great to be about equal with them
