Any other keeper in the league kicks that out for a throw in!

No penetration.
Wilder was screaming to keep us out wide and we obliged
Every time any ball came into the final third to feet we simply didn't hold or turn.
Again. Martial for me was so so poor.

Our worst, most embarrassing league result of the last seven years regardless of what it means.

Absolute shite. Didn't deserve anything from the game. You don't (and we won't) win titles if you can't win games like this.
city and Liverpool have both lost games like this.

They did too us what Ole did to a lot of the top 6 last season.
Two stupid goals.

The changes killed us today. Half the people on here wanted even more changes than that. Too many players didn’t perform tonight. Rashford, Martial and Bruno very poor up front, only Greenwood looked at it.

You can’t get away with going behind all season. Finally punished for the shocking form of our attackers. Have to say Ole pisses about with his subs, they should have each been on 20 minutes earlier.

This hurts...a lot. We have bunch of very low IQ professionals for sure. We have been riding our luck by scrapping wins. That had to end. Ended today by a bottom team.

This manager doesn't have the x factor to change the game with subs. That lack of quality and courage will pull us back in such matches.

One of those results.
Certainly Not panicking yet. Didn’t play well but bad decisions (one goal allowed, one disallowed) and a deflected winner which could have been avoided

The players have been terrible too but it's a crime not to bring changes when things are not working out.

That was a fecking shocking performance.
Made Sheffield look like a prime Jose side. Created nothing of note, leaving on poor performers for the whole game.
Poor players, poor management of the game.

But honestly not really surprising for me. Outside of Leeds, we've toiled in nearly every game we've played and made it difficult.
I always felt a result like this was coming.

We were never gonna win the league, but these are games we should be winning. Look at what City did to West Brom ffs.

Too negative and we paid for it. We invite pressure with our pump and dump long balls when we don't need to be doing that against a team with 5 at the back.

It's a loss but that's all it is, our form has been great and this isn't the end of the world. Onto Arsenal.

I guess we will be relying on a few 'shock of the season' games from the top 5 for us to make up for this. Unlikely to happen

We can't always go behind and expect a comeback.
2nd goal was ridiculous, amateur stuff!
Greenwood should have stayed on as he was better than both Rashford and Martial.
Don't understand why Cavani didn't start!
We had to lose at some point, to lose against a team that had 1 win all season at home is not acceptable.

Why tf did that Burke feck not only had a free shot at goal once, but twice by standing in the same position for one whole minute? Why tf was everyone standing still and watching while they play? Seriously WHAT THE FECK?

Been coming for ages. Top sides occasionally make life easy for themselves, they don't need bailing out every week.

You could see this coming for a few weeks now.
Hope it isn't the start of a long run of bad results but that seems to be the cycle. Come on lads don't fall into the old ways.

Martial is useless. The second goal was his faul. He lost the ball and jogged back. Why would we keep this guy on the pitch.

The players should be made to watch this game on repeat for 8 hours tomorrow, they certainly don't deserve a day's rest.

De Gea piss poor, what was he doing passing it in the box instead of booting? Ultimate coward, shame that there is no proper competition.

Ladies and gentlemen, Inshallah this is the last loss of the season for us.
It isn’t

Too many players ran on empty tonight. Didn’t fight, no pace or aggression

Martial is a complete waste of space

Better sooner than later. This had to end at some point. Can't hope to grind out results week in week out without playing proper football. Has been coming for a while now.

I've got a few questions:

Is there a good reason why Tuanzebe was playing? Why was Martial not taken off? Why didn't De Gea clear the ball? Why did we stand off Sheffield United while they were pissing about in our penalty box?

What a way to ruin an almost 3 month undefeated streak in the league. At home against a team who will soon be mixing with the dross of the Championship.

If I had the patience and the time, I'd make a clip show of Martial just losing the ball or passing to the opponent's.

He is honestly horrific and yeah, I do have a fecking agenda, so what? He isn't good enough for a top team by A LONG WAY.

If you honestly believe that bloke is a United striker, enjoy our team being also rans until he retires.

Disgraceful result and completely unacceptable performance. The defending for their second would be embarrassing in Sunday league.

Martial is not United standard up top. Sick of his shit demeanor

Rashford, you're not a playmaker. feck off to the left hand side.

Bruno, sort your wank passing out. Great numbers but when he's in this form it's like playing with 10 men.

Telles was shit (corner aside)

Defending atrocious.

Bunch of fecking bottlers
