    Spurs will come out strong second half but feck me, imagine not loving Pogba. Couldn’t be me. Dare you to find many midfielders in world football who play that pass that perfectly

    Mad finish by Rashford too

    I have to say if Jose had gone a bit earlier we probably would not have been in 6th place. We probably would have been in either 3rd or 4th for sure. Yes, we need a new right back and probably a CB and a new DM. And I would say an upgrade on Lingaard too. So instead of getting Bailly, Lukaku, Fred and Dalot we could have got three more different players and we would be challenging for the League for sure.

    Need to stay composed. Feel we are being a bit hasty with that ball over their back 4 at times, don't need to get sloppy.

    Well I haven't been this happy watching us for a long long time. I love the atmosphere around the players now. This is how the club should be.

    What a finish from Rashford. Seriously impressed. Not only with that and the pass from Pogba but the half in general. I think we looked more threatening and the whole defensive unit put their bodies in the line of fire.
    Spurs still had chances mind and they're probably going to come out strongly, but from where we were a month ago, that was world's apart

    Fantastic first half. Great tactics by ole. We've kept players up the pitch which makes a huge difference. We'll need another goal though. Pogba, rashford and lindelof have been great. Shaw and matic need to up their game I feel. Bring on the second half!

    Someone said Pogba was not world class? That Erikson is though? That Rashford was not world class?

    Well I hope Erikson or Alli are able to put a ball like that in the run of a player when surrounded by 3 players :).

    What a great half of football, attacks in both ends of the pitch!

    Great by Solskjaer in starting Rashford on the right. It’s clear that we are targeting that area specifically.
    Yep, said the same few minutes before the goal, masterclass tactics from him, and we scored from it.

    I'm just happy that we look like we have a plan and are trying to score goals. Before we'd be in a low block, being moved about like feral chickens and hoping to knick a goal from a Fellaini shoulder.

    We'd try this until we were 2-0 down and bought on a willing runner to see the loss out.

    Very good 1st half. So refreshing to see the team playing attacking football in this fixture when we’ve been subjected to buses being parked in the past.

    We had a manager that benched Paul Pogba. The man shouldn't work in football ever again.

    Brilliant half. We should have more. I was championing Sanchez over Jesse last week (I know he’s injured today), but I just feel he either takes that chance that Jesse fluffed, or plays a proper weight of pass to Martial when we were 2 v 1. I do recognise he’s brought other things, but that final bit of quality is a recurring problem.

    Anyway, was always confident of a win here, and I hope we can hang on. Next few games are far kinder on paper.

    I wonder how long PornHub will take to upload that pass from Pogba?

    Lindelof and Herrera both excellent again, as they have been pretty much every time they've played under Ole. It's a great feeling watching Pogba perform the way he's capable of in a United shirt - there isn't a midfielder on Earth who can do some of the stuff he makes look easy.

    Just crazy how mature Lindeloef has been playing recently!
    God job so far again today, allowing Kane almost no space and time.

    The golf in quality between Lindelof and Jones at this point is just laughable.

    This is a pretty excellent blueprint for how we should be setting up going forward against good teams like Spurs. And it quite obviously can never involve Lukaku. Rashford and Martial's runs and movement are devastating. Lukaku would not have even controlled Pog's worldie pass let alone score from it.

    Wow!

    That half was like something out of 2012-13 season, except the brain farts by Jones. If he only settled down he would be a very good defender. The midfield looked powerful with Pogba and Ander killing them. Up front we have them running scared.

    Gaz is an idiot with agendas. He has lost it years ago and is a shit pundit
    WTF has Lingaard done that deserves so much plaudits? Yes he nicked that ball off but that is what is expected of him. It is the pass from Pogba that did it and of course the shooting from Rashford.
    I think Lukaku may be a better option instead of Lingaard and play him on the right?
