Emotional connection?
Probably not how about an employment connection though. Though i found it funny it was a bit unprofessional.

Didn't notice that. Yeah hopefully he does want out permanently.
But it was actually professional to work your hardest and be fully in it for the team you're currently playing for, which is Milan, regardless of being on loan or a permanent transfer.
Do you mean in the situation where McT was close to a second yellow?
Yes. That potential second yellow one
Ok. I personally thought it was a second yellow and wouldn’t have complained if he was sent off.
If you're on loan and are selected to play against your parent club. Then you try your hardest no problem with that.
But celebrating a goal against your own club, come on.
That's just being a dick. Just as well there were no fans there tonight. Don't expect he'll get a great reception if he ever plays for United in front of a home crowd again.
I hope Scott McTerminates him in the next leg.
He can feck off, one thing is to celebrate against your old club, but against your current one is something else
I think it would have looked really weird if he stood there not celebrating a late minute goal with his current teammates. Would have sent the wrong message for Milan and his teammates as well.If you're on loan and are selected to play against your parent club. Then you try your hardest no problem with that.

As for the reception if he played for United, pretty sure both him and the club knew that he would never play for us again and this loan was just a step for him to leave permanently.
How is it being a dick when his parent club doesn't give a shit about him, he's entitled to celebrate a goal for his current club regardless of ties to his parent club.If you're on loan and are selected to play against your parent club. Then you try your hardest no problem with that.

Are people really having a got at him for celebrating a late equaliser in a huge game for the club he is currently playing for?
He has every right to celebrate that goal
He has every right to celebrate that goal
I'm still trying to figure out why he was allowed to play today. You'd think a part of the load deal would be that he can't play if we face each other. Or aren't you allowed to put a clause like that in for loans to other leagues?
Yeah you can’t do that.
Was he actually any good today? Didn’t catch the game.
Nah it wouldn't have.
How thin skinned are you ffs
No.
I’m fair sure we’ve asked him to leave but nobody was willing to match our asking price. He’s not coming back. We are his old club unless we can’t sell him again.
I don't think it's not possible. We have seen James, Coutinho playing against their parent clubs in CL in recent year.
He's decent in that we didn't cause him any issue. He followed Milan game plan well, providing width, and some decent cross, but nothing really great. Basically nothing that we haven't seen in his better games for us.
That I'm not too fussed about but trying to get Scott sent off is being a dick.
His post match interview wasn't of one who expects to be back at United next season which was odd seeing as Milan seemingly don't want to actually keep him
I really do not see a problem with celebrating a goal, especially when you know your old club doesn't want you, as long as you do not do anything provocative like kissing the badge. I still recall Morientes celebrating with passion when he scored against Real as a loanee in Monaco. And he was actually an important player for Real at one point, and I think he was loved by the fans.
All players should always celebrate. It's supposed to be fun sport. Fans complain about everything these days. Shit our supposed "World"
I'd settle for Scott McPassing the ball to one of his teammates the odd time.
Exactly
I've just realised I've been confusing him with Darmian all evening. Was thinking immediately after the game that he probably loves being back in Italy... but obviously he's Portuguese 
It's a new thing, isn't it? I really don't understand why in the last few years people are so interested in players celebrating/not celebrating.
probably he already knows he’s never playing a game for us again. He could’ve lived without the celebration. Can’t hate on him for trying hard to win though
This could be his Ronaldo Euro 2004 (getting Rooney sent off) moment where he'll come back than ever, displaces AWB and become Cafu regen.
Or maybe not.
Or maybe not.
Isnt he on loan and if so why did isnt there a claus in his contract not to lay against us? isnt that standard
European leagues have the opposite laws as the English game. In England, loaned players aren't allowed to play against their parent club. In CL and EL loaned players are always allowed to play against their parent club. No clauses can change that.
It’s quite an old thing at least since I’ve been watching football (2004), it’s more that players have started celebrating more.
I know right. Last min equalizer and he is supposed to stand as if nothing happened. If that's your natural reaction then go with it. Not fake a lack of reaction...
Couldn't disagree more. The whole not celebrating against past or parent clubs is ridiculous. His aim is to get through to the next round, last minute goal and you want him to stand with his arms folded?
Nah, celebrate, it means feck all and fans get overly sensitive about it.Didn't really appreciate him trying to get McTominay sent off but otherwise I could care less if he celebrated the goal. He's playing under their colors and he has a good reason to want to win the game.
I didn't find celebration or non-celebration to be interesting. When we expect players not to celebrate we are only asking them to bend to the societal expectation that they should not do so against a former or parent club.
When a player does or doesn't celebrate it probably has nothing to do with right or wrong or good or bad but merely how willing they are to adjust the public persona that they already have. That is if they are even aware of that expectation to begin with, which may be partly cultural.
I was interested in the performance, however. Which was okay. I did not get the impression we tested him enough defensively, he was rarely isolated and generally we did not get going. He got forward well but his crosses were largely off the mark. The interesting thing is he is relatively competent at either fullback position. I don't think there is a massive amount between him and Williams from what I have seen.

But being outraged by the actual celebration seems to be a novelty to be fair.
Why wouldn’t he celebrate? Anyone pissed off that he did so should ask themselves what they thought he was on the pitch for. He’s trying to help Milan win the game...
