Maguire,Shaw,Rashford,Lingard,Sancho and Pogba are holding us back. Get rid of the lot of them. Martial as well.

So much better without them and their lack of effort.

This. Although i'd take out sancho from that.

 

[RoyH1]

Best game I’ve seen them play in ages. Matic and Mata showing the way forward for the team. Alas when they’re already on the way out.

 

[edgecutter]

Explain how he didn't? .

Bar 20 mins in the first he was average at best.

 

[siw2007]

Fun performance and well deserved win. Ronaldo was superb, as was Mata and Matic, Bruno played a good game too.
Shout out to Matic who has been a top professional at the club, will be welcome back at Old Trafford. Also to Mata who rolled back the clock today, he showed great intelligence, vision, technique and graft, I know he couldn’t play like that all season but we’ve been missing something like that all year.

The "Glazers out" has already blew over. The Americans must be loving it. Another signing, Rice possibly, will finish the movement off. The Glazers have won.

What gives you that idea? Was it the fact that there was a limited Glazers out protest at the game? If so I can assure you that the total lack of protest is a better sign of the Glazers winning.

 

[OverratedOpinion]

Yay we looked so like a professional football team.

 

[90 + 5min]

Best game this season and we know why.

 

[elnorte]

Best game this season and we know why.

Why?

Certain players playing and others not?

 

[Lecland07]

Best game this season and we know why.

Brentford had nothing to play for? Manutd had no pressure as the CL race was done and dusted last week?

 

[Robertd0803]

Get in there. Funny how much better we are with no pressure or expectations.

Oh and Viva Ronaldo. I dont want him to go.

 

[Ramshock]

Really weird, now that you think about it....last home game of the season and the English players don't play. I think that's a clue.

McSauce plays for Scotland so yep. Only Jones came off the bench and he isnt a current international

 

[Banana Republic]

Post match interview .
When asked where do the team need strengthening in the rebuild, Ralf said apart from goalkeepers, some players will be leaving and will need replacing in every department in the team.

 

[Robindinho]

Why?

Certain players playing and others not?

Spoiler

 

[Tiber]

These protests don't have quite the same impact as having games called off. Not that the Glazers give a shit either way

 

[clarkydaz]

suprisingly enjoyed watching a Manchester United team again. almost like the bad influences and distractions were nowhere to be seen, and the team were playing for each other

 

[Todd]

If Ronaldo played for City I legitimately think he'd scored 30 goals in the league, even at his age.

He is the epitome of a champion and his mentality is exactly what this club needs to retain as it looks to rebuild. I hope that ETH recognizes this and utilizes him in building a new philosophy and showing a new era of players what it's supposed to mean to wear the shirt.

 

[Submarine Chief]

It was almost like they were playing for a job audition.

 

[Jibbs]

What a performance by Mata. It pains me how we never utilized the true potential of this great player who was no less in talent than David Silva or DeBruyne. notice how all these great players like Mata, Matic, Ronaldo have still that determination in them, sharp contrast to how the prima-donnas of United sulk

 

[SER19]

Who missed any of Rashford, Martial, Lingard, Maguire or Shaw? Nobody? Ya i thought so. Should all be gone next summer. Don't think any player on pitch tonight could be accused of not caring or an attitude problem - the afformentioned group are largely rotten with possible exception of Shaw

 

[Annihilate Now!]

What are you on about? Master bullier, clique maker, and bad pizza orderer Ronaldo himself was playing!!

You could just sense the animosity in all those hugs...

 

[Jibbs]

How I wish to see that sulking gang gone who was fortunately absent today.

 

[Robbie Boy]

Good performance.

I cant believe theyre even contemplating selling him; granted, Ronaldo is not our future, but he can be a catalyst for the younger players, a bit like Canona was. Ronaldo is a winner and wants to play and win every match and thats the sort of mentality we're going to need.

 

[James Peril]

A nice game to watch, shows us that football is entertainment and not politics. We score and tens of thousands have a good time, a few suckers leave the stadium with their silly agendas and usless way of showing them. Very happy for Mata and Matic to have an enjoyable last evening, smiles all around and a positive vibe before ten Hag and tons of new players arrive next season.

With that being said, Brentford are obviously on the beach a long time ago and the result itself matters very little. Who cares, I go to bed happy and I was entertained, unlike many other nights this season.

 

[Champ]

Of course. .
But we won in spite of him of course.

Glad you posted on here, can't wait til you post something nondescript next season!!

“It helped Rashford was sitting on the bench with his rubbish attitude and I selected players that want to play for the jersey “

 

[stu_1992]

Decent game to round out the home games this season at least. Felt a bit testimonial like out there at times but at least it was an enjoyable watch.

Ronaldo was very good it must be said, shame the first was offside but at least he made up for it with the penalty. For a second at the start I thought we were going to get a carbon copy of the previous game's goal from him too.

Fernandes being amongst the goals again was nice to see. If he ended the season strongly it might bring a much needed confidence boost ahead of next season. Varane finally getting a first goal too after such a stop/start season. Had an annoying one rules out earlier this year too.

Wanted to see a few youngsters but after seeing who played for the under 23s yesterday it didn't seem likely.

 

[sirAlexsglasses]

Controlled the game, scored the goals. More importantly seeing which players want to play. They played as a team

I’d say it’s a bit late for that now, why weren’t they showing that when it mattered.

 

[Reiver]

Decent way to sign off from Old Trafford. It doesn't paper over the problems we have.

 

[Devil may care]

That was a good 90 minutes from the team, we were the better side throughout and got our rewards, they couldn't handle Ronaldo and we could have had more.

 

[Pretzels81]

Oh, 6th, then. Again.

This 3-0 is expected. Too many points dropped against the likes of Brentford.

Can't wait for this season to end.

 

[RopersReturn]

Very good match, thank you to both sides. The red side were very good tonight but they had to be because the yellows weren't too shabby either. There seemed to be some kind of protest amongst red supporters but that shouldn't detract from the game on the field. The yellows had a thirty year old player who recently survived a serious medical episode. Nevertheless, it was good to see him running around like a fifteen year old again. The red team had an even older player who scored a goal. The game was played in a sporting manner and it finished with some emotional and nostalgic scenes at the end. I suspect this was due to certain players retiring. More of this kind of entertainment please.

 

[Fitchett]

A really good performance tonight from United. As many of us have suspected, its the English brigade, plus Pogba and Martial, who have been holding us back. Mata has been criminally under utilised by us, such a clever, skillful player. I'm sure that Rangnick will fully brief Ten Hag, so that valuable time isn't list in rebuilding the squad.

 

[AndyMUFC]

Where was that for the last 8 months? Played well and some entertaining football with Ronaldo, Bruno and Mata linking up well. Mata should've played more often without a shadow of a doubt.

 

[lex talionis]

Obviously a very good performance which was reflected in the final score. Questions can rightly be asked where was this kind of performance against sides sides like Watford and Norwich but here we are now, hanging into a EL spot.

We'll have a lot of time to discuss squad development strategy, but what's clear as day -- Ole, are you reading this? -- that we must bring in a proper CDM. Maybe we can sake by with the defenders we already have, but we cannot skate by without a player of the reading and passing ability of Matic. Scotty and Fred can fill out the squad, but without a proper CDM we'll continue to play Oleball, which amounted to little more than kick, run and pray.

 

[Red the Bear]

What was going on with saf and Allardyce, was fergie really giving him an autograph

Agreed.
