Pogba, Cavani, Henderson, Greenwood all could be MotM, even Fred has a shout after that rotten first half, and everybody played well.

Boring hmm, ARE YOU ENTERTAINED?

Outstanding 2nd half performance with Ole schooling Jose once again. The likes of Pogba, Cavani, Fred, Wan Bissaka and Shaw superb.

Sweet revenge for the loss in October which was clearly a freak result because of the sending off and lack of a pre season for United.

Very comprehensive. Essentially 1-4. Pogba was absolute class and AWB really opened up the game second half.

1st half was piss poor, 2nd half much better, better football, all our goals came as product of very good play in final third with great football behind it, funny how that works. Well done Ole and team.

What an awesome win! Who would have thought we would've been putting pressure on City. Congratulations to Ole and the team, screw the doubters, it's great progress all round; especially in regards to belief for the manager and the team. An important result I think.

Thank you lads and Ole. Great win and comeback.

- Pogba really good.
- Defense very good
- Shaw excellent (in your face Mou)
- Henderson number 1 now and it's because he is willing to come off his line.

Does anyone still think we are not the 2nd best team in England? (MC might be best in world right now)
Does anyone still wish Mourinho was still our coach?

That disallowed goal was the best thing that happened to us
They came out like they were on drugs in the 2nd half

What a brilliant second half performance. Pogba, Cavani, Shaw, Mason all excellent, Henderson commanding, the defence much stronger as a unit and the midfield dusted themselves off after a poor half and worked their way back into the game.

I must say I’m getting a bit sick of Ole in his post-match laughing off the questions about our poor first halves and coming from behind, if we fecking played like that from the off we’d blow most teams out of the water. The contrast between halves this season has been ludicrous and I’d love to see us start matches more positively.

That said, I’m absolutely delighted with another comeback win, where we left the bitterness of the perceived wrongs from the first half in the past and got on with dismantling that shower of fecking pricks.

Well done all involved. Great performances even though we were sloppy at times. I thought we did well not to get riled up by the shithousery of Spurs and saw the game out really well. I’m not a big fan of Pogba but he impressed me today.

A huge ‘feck you’ to Mourinho. A big ‘get to feck’ to Son. The ref was a twat but I think he calmed down second half. And VAR can just...well there’s no words, it’s just terrible.

Great 2nd half , we were a different team , full of desire , zipping the ball around with pace and purpose and fantastic to watch.


But why do we always seem to need a kick up the backside before we start to play to our full potential , it really is frustrating because we will always be 2nd best to City unless we learn how to turn up and turn it on from the start every game.

That was a stellar 2nd half performance. It’s a good feeling when you’re struggling to think who should have got the MOTM as so many of them played well. I’d give it to Cavani though, with Pogba an extremely close 2nd

Couldn't watch the match. How was it? How were Burno and Pogba?

Overall rating?
1st half we were the better team marginally. Second half it was a very controlled display, Pogba, Cavani, Harry, Wan Bissaka, Shaw, Hendo, all very good performances. as a rating I would give Utd a steady 7.5 or 8 out of 10 for today.

Ref had an utter shocker

Justice was done. Still fuming about the disallowed goal, without that it could have been much more comfortable.

I will eat humble pie and say Cavani is not yet past it, if he can get the service he still has it.

Get the feck IN!!!! Amazing, unreal second half performance. Some of the interplay between Fred, Bruno, Pogba and Cavani was just outstanding. Massive win!!

Thank you United, these are the games why I'm a fan.

I love these lads. They infuriate me sometimes with their play but there is no question about the commitment showed by them. The referees tried to feck us over till the last minute with that joke of an added time but they took it upon their strides and just made the result more emphatic. All of Spurs' diving only made us step up our game and in the end quality shone through.

Pogba was an absolute beast today, best player on the pitch by a mile. Dean made the saves he needed to make and also played sweeper magnificently. Cavani was fantastic and Greenwood's overall game has come leaps and bounds to compliment his lethal finishing. Just delightful second half all around.

Also, one more time, feck off Spurs!

I was so fecking angry in the first half. Not sure I can remember as satisfying a second half though.

Thought it was right up there with Pogbas best ever games for us, with Cavani, Shaw, Henderson and second half Fred just behind him.

All it was missing was someone putting Son through and advertising board after the 3rd goal. Well done lads on a great win over the scummiest team in football.

fecking buzzing! Even more so than the City game. 4-1 win away at Spurs. Excellent result. fecking love it. Cheated by the opposition & the refs yet still come away with a comfortable win. Get the feck in. Ole got it spot on today. That move for Fred’s goal was the best football we’ve played in years.

That second half is the most I've enjoyed a game for a while. Got to admit that I was spitting feathers at half-time, so it makes that second half performance even sweeter.

What a game, tbh. Anything but boring. Pogba ran the show. Greenwood came on and just looked phenomenal. One of those games where you could have watched for another half an hour.

Feck off, Spurs.

Probably 4-0 without the terrible ref decision - I don’t think we’d have conceded if we hadn’t been distracted by that. Brilliant away display.

Everything went against us today, but we still managed to dominate the 2nd half to come back and win. That makes this win even sweeter!
And I don't think there is anything more beautiful than a Cavani diving header.

Loved the game management at the end. Too often we looked weak seeing games out. I like the strategy of hitting it long to Pogba down the wing.

Brilliant second half performance, I really really enjoyed that. I missed the first so I cannot judge whether it was the best performance of the season, but that second half performance was certainly the best we have had in a while.

Pogba is the difference, when he is up for and on the left, we are a different team. I would happy to see Rashford rested for a few games, get him ready for the last 3/4 games and potentially a final. Greenwood is going to be a ridiculous player, yes he has scored not as many as last season but physically he has developed well this season and confidence is growing. I really believe he will be special. Bruno was much better than he has been of late, Cavani link up was brilliant as usual, even AWB was great. Heck, I cannot fault a single player in that second half.

Biggest shout out is for Ole, managed that second half exceptionally.

We changed tactically, and its something i've observed. There's no point of us playing with width if we can't move the ball quick and direct enough to create an advantage. Moving to a more narrow 4231 rather than the wide one, allowed Fred and Mctominay have passing options closer to them who were comfortable at creating through the middle. I knew Greenwood would shine the minute this occured, because his problem has always been being too far away from the centre of the pitch. He's not a dribbler, but he's very good on the turn in short spurts and with that finishing ability, it needs to be closer to goal.

Cavani was outstanding.
Pogba was the Man of the match for me.
Shaw does what he does.
Fred was really good today too.
AWB and Maguire are as consistent as they always are.
Now we are definately going second.
