Scott always seems to have believed he's an 8 and should be further up. Enjoyed this. Good on him.

We are just a chaotic team which thrives in chaos. Totally no control or pattern of play, just kitchen sink time and individual brilliance to get our goals. That was fun though! Onwards and upwards!

Hopefully that inspires us to kick on. Loved the togetherness at the end. One result can start a season hope that’s it. Credit to Onana after those 2 big saves

Somewhere in your mind, touching a nerve
Bloody hell. I’m still pumped up after those last few minutes. Football, bloody hell eh?

that said, the performance was again pretty shit.ETH got lucky this time but he won’t if he keeps fielding the underperformers. He needs to grow some balls

Won in spite of Ten Hag.

I think he looks as lost as Ole did at times.

Not too worry it'll be back to Player FC after the international break.

Lost for words really. Nice three points is the best I can say about that. Great cameo from McT!

Feck the way we played. We need to consistently win games and that’s all that matters in the end.
Lets win, lets build confidence. We’ll play cute football later

When we equalised I thought we'd probably go on and win it. I'll be honest, I usually just want to enjoy moments like that, but my god we were disgracefully bad today.

Elated for Scotty. Elated for the win and 3 points. We needed that. Admit, I did not think we were going to get anything from this match after they scored.

Saved by Scotty. Lovely two goals from him.

The subs made a difference when they came on. However, I'm (somewhat ironically) nudging closer to the ETH-OUT side. Our general play before the last 6 minutes was very shit. Rashford was poor, Casemiro was dirge again, Onana cost us the opening goal and could have very well cost us the entire game had we not pulled off that come back.

It's a strange one. I would be one to normally go crazy at last minute winners or super comebacks. But, mentally, this really is just prolonging the pain. In my head, I know we're not on the right path and the lads will just (for the most part) put in another subpar performance when they play next.

Everyone wanted him sold !
Declared him not good enough, not fit to wear the shirt.

We finally got some fight in the team, but almost too late !
Houdini style !

We need to be realistic, that injury time turnaround, got us out of deep shite.

Oh wow, I stopped following along online a few minutes ago at 1-0 down, did not expect to come back to this. Go'wan Scott!

Scott forgot to hide from the ball
He was playing more like he does for Scotland, which is where he's best. Let him roam around the final third and he can do things like that.

Doesn't make for a consistently great player but it works for moments like this!

Get the feck in, much needed win. Hopefully come back better after the international break.

The 2 outcasts saved the day.
ETH needs to do 2 things
- drop Onana to make a statement. Just play Heaton who may not be outstanding but will do the basics right.
- play Mctominay as forward, second striker..he is bad as midfielder but he has good shots and headers

Feels fitting with the passing of Lady Cathy that we've won this one through a homegrown player in Fergie time. Respect.

The players that are not in the team should want to prove the manager wrong it doesn't matter which player or whoever is manager. Football is a team game. Too many sulk and give up because they are not playing. Fair play to Scotty.

This is the turning point of the season. Come on United!!!
I think this is just what we needed.

Not a 5-0 hammering but a horrible, grimy, ugly 2 goal combo in injury time to lift the spirits.

Hope we can kick on from here

Wow what an end. Pretty abysmal for 89 minutes. But wow, Mctominay scoring to in injury time is a dream…
Hopefully we can build on this.
