I've said it for a long time, we do have good attackers, but our previous manager didn't allow them to be that.
Give them freedom and tell them to enjoy themselves, and this is what we get.

Much much much much much better going forward. We still look very shaky at the back, but I don't even care. I actually enjoyed watching us for the first time in a very long time.

Feast feast. Even if we lose this I couldn’t care less - for now at least that resembled a United side.

Very positive start. Much higher tempo, much more attacking intent and the 3rd goal was a joy to watch.

I honestly did not want that half to end. Which is something I haven’t said about Man Utd for such a long time.

Absolute pleasure watching that performance!

Breath of fresh air. First time in months ive not been bored watching us. Its like the weight of the world has been lifted off the teams backs.

Can see Ollies 'shoot!" policy paying off already.

More of the same please

under mourinho more-likely 0:1. united should be trashing these teams on a routine basis. it may be 6 by the end of the game.

It was decent, but we are so used to crap people will make out its the best performance ever, it should be the norm. Shows how low Mourinho sunk our standards.

We should've kept Mourinho because we couldn't do any better...

Seeing a United team prioritise attacking play is amazing. Before it felt like Ronaldo or Messi couldn’t help us because the play was so negative.

Genuinely can't recall a move like that Martial goal in the last few seasons.

Attacking football is where it's at. Everyone will mention the 3rd goal but I'll also mention the second goal. It was deflected but if we don't take the risk we have no chance.
The kind of goal Mourinho would've blamed bad luck for if it was against us.

Feck anyone who says its just Cardiff, we've played shite like them non-stop for past 2 and a half years and struggled to put them away. 75% possession for us in that half, when was the last time you saw that from us away from home or at home for that matter?

Don't let few moaners and ABUs ruin your joy, it's been too long. Just enjoy the football.

Did that Martial goal make anyone else emotional? I had to hold back tears watching that...

Best half of football we've played in ages from an entertainment perspective

I was wary of waking up at 4.30AM to watch..........I regret nothing. Martial goal alone was worth it.
