Louis said we didn't even have a training session for this game because he rested the players. It was just meetings.

Wow. More of that please!

Today reminded me as to why I SHOULD NEVER HAVE WISHED for Arsenal to win the title. They can feck off, a club of crybabies from top to bottom. What Gabriel try to do on Adnan, what Ozil did on Varela, what El Neny did on I don't remember who were signs of the cnuts they truly are and always will be.

Can't remember the last time I was so happy about us.

Kids were freakin amazing. Rashford - get the feck in lad!! Fantastic to see Memphis finally showing what we expected from him when we signed him.

I admin, I lost all hope once we got early yellow cards. But at the moment I'm over the moon. Fantastic result.

Can't wait to see AFT/FTD reactions.

Yesssss..... So delighted with that win. The team that finished that game was almost an U21 side.

Varela was incredible. Love the kids energy and drive. Thought he may struggle after that early yellow. But Him and Lingard did a fantastic job keeping Sanchez quiet (He was almost anonymous). Blind was good too.

And that midfield duo of Herrera and Schneiderlin :drool:.. People have been clamouring for the two of them to start and look at how they dominated in the 2nd half. Fantastic displays. Lots of tackles, good interceptions and kept the ball well.

Mata and Memphis were great. Memphis finally used his brain and kept the ball in the corner. Mata with that insane skill too.

Rashford rashford rashford.... we need a new chant for you! love this lad ....
And damn Mensah too. What a tank. He should play at CB next game and Blind at LB.
Nice to see Weir get a few seconds too.

And Oh, van Gaal you beauty. How can you hate this man. :drool:

Textbook Arsenal-in-February performance. Why do they have zero mental strength at this stage of the season, every season?

Take nothing away from United, we deserved that, but we were there for the taking. Not a single centre back on the pitch, probably our least defensively robust midfield pair with Mata just ahead. No protection there. They didn't even come and have a go at us. They seemed scared of us, even though we put out a side bordering on being the "third string". They had no belief.

3 well worked goals. Rashford's positioning is superb, his runs and anticipation also. Herrera's best game for us in ages. Memphis, Varela and Blind were excellent too. Fosu Mensah looked nervy, but did plenty of good. How can a teenager be built like that? He's built like Antonio Valencia. Glad to see Januzaj back too. Great game.

Can trust Arsenal to beat themselves.

But Arsenal couldnt step up against a weakened side..

I haven't been this happy and excited about a united win in a long long time.

The kids are alright.

I was never as sure as I was we were going to loose a game as today.

Arsenal with another bottle job. We beat them and hopefully ended/dented their title hopes with two midfielders in defense and a bunch of kids all over the place.

We've had very few feel good matches this season. Today I don't see how anyone can fault LVG. All those injuries, all those young players given debuts and we deserved that win against a top level team. They played with no fear and that was great to see. It's what we all remember Man Utd for being famous for.

Blimey, Souness absolutely tearing into Arsenal, " tippy-tappy football" :lol:.

With the team we had out, they should have gone for the jugular...was Walcott even on the pitch?

Come on mate, cheer for Leicester this year if not United winning the league.

The kids just did it... normally, it was 2:8 for Arsenal. Instead, they just won 3:2, and could have scored more. It's unbelievable. And I love the fact that at 85mn, Lindgard, Memphis, Mata or Januaz were smart enough to not reproduce the Chelsea mistake and keep the ball near Arsenal's touch line. I mean, if that's not footballing progress, what is it? Oh Christ they made me shed a tear today.

We now know the formula for success. Just give a load of debuts.

I hope we have enough players in the academy.
