Solid victory that, not an easy ground. Hope Pogba is fine, biggest game for our top four chances on Thursday coming up. Saying that, we can afford a draw against City now.

Professional performance. In control the entire game. First goal was lovely, Martial responding well to Jose's comments which is good to see.

Hope Pogba isn't injured & Bailly was just tired. Can't afford any more injuries.

Great. Love these easy and comfortable win. Now one point behind City with the same number of games 32.

The Derby is going to be massive and crucial.

Pogba and Bailly MOTM. Great game from Martial, too.

Well played José, fresh players did the job well. Controlled the match completely in the 2nd half, never looked like conceding. Hope there's no more injuries for Thursday, half the team was limping by the end of the game.

Oh and someone should teach Taylor and his assistants what the difference between a corner and a goal kick is.

I'm glad Martial put in a good performance today, he could make or break the remainder of our season.

A draw? United is behind so a draw is not an option. City is not dropping many points currently.

Not conceded a shot on target in the last two games, that can't happen very often

All credit to Mourinho he's got it spot-on again

No shots on target for the oppo again today. Can't beat that really, especially with all the injuries.

Good away performance at a tough ground to visit. Not exciting but professional and efficient.

One of the most relaxing wins this season. I think we have better movement without Zlatan up front too.

My only criticism is why he didnt give the kids a run at the end. Solid performance otherwise.

On 63 points now. We had 64 in the entirety of the David Moyes season. Van Gaal got 70 in his first season and 66 in his second. I'd say with 6 games still to play, we're well on course to have our best post-Ferguson season.

Very comfortable outing. Burnley threatened in first half but overall we had it easy. Bailly was immense. Good performance from Martial. Hopefully Pogba's injury is not serious.

Not surprised, we've been better away than at Old Trafford all season. Wonder why that is. Lower expectations, less pressure from the crowd?

Solid game by Martial and Pogba. Hope we didn't pick up more injuries.

Very good performance, well deserved and needed victory.

But ffs Mourinho and his subs. Instead of taking out Pogba and Bailly, guys who are playing every game every minute and spare them from injuries, he changed Lingard.

Those injuries are on Mourinho and Mourinho alone.

Just purely professional from start to finish. If we'd managed games this well all season, who knows the points we'd be on.

Great to see goals coming from our other forwards today as well. We're gonna need them all to step up in the remaining games.

Mourinho's work evolving with time. It was a very solid defensive performance, reminiscence of his best days.

Solid performance. Pogba was class, Bailly was a monster, Herrera being Herrera. Even Fellaini mopped up the midfield extremely well.

Great to see Martial and Rooney getting a goal too. Both need confidence for this run in we have - we'll need to call on their ability again before the end of the season.
