I get that, but Bruno and Cunha can both press as a 10 as well. Mount would give us more legs in the central areas and anyone else we have.

If that was a pen then big foot is realGood half. Mount has been good. Really glad to see Sesko get another goal
Swinging your foot that high in the bix is not smart, Eric Bailly stuff.
Good half, tempo and urgency, didn't create a lot of clear chances but lots of good situations, Sunderland started to come into it in the lats 15 but they don't have the quality outside of Xhaka to make it count.Good half boys. That was actually a 3421. Our wing backs have pretty much been wingers on the ball.Encouraging half that, Sunderland were getting into it a bit near the end, but yeah good halfAre we back?
First oneReally good half from us.Shambolic that was initially given as a pen.Some claiming it is only Sunderland. Fact is, they are on 11 points and will still be ahead of us regardless what happens in this game. So winning against them is vital and not a given.New gk looking good so far.
Just one of the strange decisions managers make instead of playing players in the more suitable positions.Hume should be booked for doing a RivaldoBrilliant until Sunderland switched to the back 5. Been an even game since then.the icing on the cake would be a clean sheet. That's a lot to ask for though these days as a united fan, just hope we see this game out now and go away with 3 points.
As a 6'6 guy, I always had a lot of sympathy for Fellaini when he got freekicks against him for high elbows. Our elbows are just that high naturally! What do they want us to do?
It looked like the ref thought it wasn't a pen but but the linesman said it was a foul so the ref gave the penalty. VAR then intervened to say no penalty.Missed th first half, how's everyone looking? Who's the standouts? How's our new goalkeeper?Great effort from the team everyone working and playing well. 2-0 should have been 4-0.
Lamens looks good.Did the ref give a pen on the field?
If he didn't why is VAR looking at that with the tools to slow it down, zoom in and recommend a review? Where was that a clear and obvious error.
The application of VAR failed hereSo did the ref give it and VAR recommended it be overturned, or vice versa? I'm seeing conflicting tweets about it.Good half, #10s have been active - Mount took his goal well, Mbeumo has mostly been turning away from pressure and winning freekicks and had his shot from range. Amad has been good with him down the right side. Bruno the best of the midfields
Lammens hasnt had much to do but made the save from Xhaka and came and took a high cross very nicely. Exactly what we want to see when we see him.Solid half overall.
Idk what's worse casemiros passing or dalots decision makingSolid first half. Need to keep this same intensity going and not switch offI feel so much more relaxed knowing that Lammens is in goal.What if sunderland scored on that first chance..Prick should’ve been booked going down holding his head like that. Cheating bastard.Mount has been brilliant.Lammens has done the basics. It’s really quite wonderful to see.Mike Dean saying that you usually have a referee on VAR and an assistant referee as Assistant VAR, apparently both covering our match today are assistant referees. Weird.
Cheers! Weird sequence of officiating decisions.
When they went 5 at the back it became man for man. Had a feeling they'd improve.First impression of Lammens is very positive, he seems very secure and calm.Love Utd and will watch them every week
I don’t know why. Because i think with every passing week im closer to fecking hating football in its current state.
VAR has destroyed the game. If it’s not just a poor decision, it’s players trying to create a review. It’s all just so ridiculous. Problem is, it’s now part of the game and I find myself encouraging Utd players to ‘play the system’ when in actual fact it’s so far from sporting and/or enjoyable.
Agree. See if we tweak something after the break to counter their change.
It wasn’t? VAR tried to stir shit up
The former, lino said pen, ref went with it then VAR said he should look at it as there's no contact
He does stupid things quite a lot that gets us into trouble- Status
