    As if he is reserve player and debuted today
    Most of the time the things he tries are audacious but with him you know there's a chance of it coming thru and when it does it really opens up the game for us. He'll only get better for us.

    Oh ofcourse he was good in the 2nd half, but clearly he wasn't amog our 3 best players. Herrera Mata Rojo valencia definitely better. Carrick Rashford were better IMO but many may disagree
    If you just look at the second half, I disagree, he was absolutely among our three best players. He had a pretty poor first half though, so I'm not really going to disagree with your overall point.

    Get in! Very good second half and a very important win.

    It's what we needed after the dreadful Chelsea game and it's already great to beat City.

    Doesn't matter we won, tomorrow at work they will say we beat their second string.

    That doesn't matter though, we needed this win as a spring board.

    Not many?

    Clichy, Kompany, Otamendi, Kolorov, Sana, Nolito, iheanacho all have played plenty of minutes this season.

    You're basicaliy only talking about their goalie, fernando and the two young lads.

    Rojo and Carrick certainly arent first choice for us so its 4 against 2.
    Kolorov and Otamendi would probably be the only starters in the first 11.The rest are nothing more than squad players now.

    I agree with that, but maybe just. But MOTM is given for the 90 mins

    I hope you'r right but he is the defination of inconsistency and lazy as feck also. He just disappears like he is not in the pitch.

    Very, very important win. A loss here would have doubled the heat and pressure on the team and the manager. Instead we managed to grab a fairly comfortable win in the end, which will give us some reprieve, and hopefully let us build on the positives, because there were many of them tonight.

    Anyone complaining about the match tonight can't realise what was at stake here. A win was of the absolutely essence, and the way we made it happen was of minuscule importance.

    If Mkhity isnt fit then he isnt fit. Mourinho certainly shouldnt rush him into a game just because the fans are eager to see him.
    Isn't fit? Jose confirmed before the Liverpool game that he was back in full training. He only suffered a minor injury so it's not like it's going to take him weeks to get up to speed. If he isn't fit now then I guess we will never be seeing him in a United jersey again.

    He hasn't played games he just needs a bit of time to get properly up to speed and big games haven't been those occasions. Probably start against Burnley

    Zlatan
    Whoscored rates Zlatan as the best player of the game. United fans seem to think he was terrible. How can it be so different?

    Rojo is terrible. He'll be our weakest link by far if he plays. I can't remember him doing anything I have ever been impressed by. Ever. Romero is average at best. City will maul us :(
    Hands Up here. I have genuinely never seen him do anything that made me think he could make it here....until last night! There were moments when he really looked like a United player. I was genuinely impressed!
