Can all the La Liga experts please come forward? I was told that these lot were on par with Barcelona of 2010/11.

Hell, we may start playing the U23s this weekend, supplementing them with the U18s due to the inevitable three minimum injuries.

We will end the season with squad whose numbers look like that of a split squad MLB team during spring training.

Mourinho as usual got it spot on, our initial high pressure caught them off guard and they never got into the match.

Good result but I thought a second was up for grabs if we decided to go for it. They were terrible.

Brilliant result all things considered. Lets go smash Arsenal in the fanny now.

Why the feck were we wasting time with only 1-0 up? It's not Barcelona we're playing!!

Too wasteful (shock horror?!). Tie far from over, cause, well.. we're not gonna score at Old Trafford.

Delighted. Should have been more, but asking this United side to score more than once in a game is far too much.

Honestly expected more from Celta today.

Yet again another game where we can't fecking finish for shit. Should have really guaranteed a place in the final tonight.

A very good performance aside from finishing. We outclassed them and will surely get to Stockholm.

Deserved to win by 3 or 4. They were actually one of the worst teams we've played this season. I'd have snapped your hand off for this result though.

Near perfect away performance. Limited them to very few chances and scored a goal (should've scored another ideally, but that's football).

Job done. All we need to do in the home leg is do what we're best at and draw, and we're through to the final.

Pogba was a class above. Rashford is class.

Lingard is dog shit. The tie would have been over already if he wasn't so bad.

Good performance, good result although I think that we should have finished them off tonight.

We kept a 1-0 lead YESSSSSSSSSSS !!

Could have easily been 4-1 or something like that.

Superp games from Pogba and Blind.

1-0 away and we didnt stop trying to get forward and some feckwits on here think Mourinho was cowardly. I thought we always tried to get forward and took the game to them. Poor finishing at times. Also have to wonder about the mentality of those who thought it was a boring game.

We've missed Pogba, head and shoulders above everyone else out there.

Hope that not getting the 3 or 4 we easily could have had tonight won't cost us.

Comfortable, professional and dominant.

Pogba and Blind were immense.

WE'RE NOT THROUGH YET.

Can Vigo get relegated somehow? I hope they do.

Can somebody post that Aspas' corner please? feck this guy, little shit.

Good win, onto the next one. Don't think we'll rest players against Arsenal. Our finishing is still shit.

Not a bad result at all. I know some people in the match thread were dismayed we didn't take what turned out to be underwhelming opposition apart but an away win in a cup semi is not to be sniffed at.

Decent performance and result and allows us a trademark 1-1 at Old Trafford. Really ought to progress and give ourselves 1 game against average opposition to make the Champions League...

Defence excellent, Romero solid. What were you all worried about? We'll easily thrash them 1-1 at Old Trafford to qualify.

Good performance and terrible finishing yet again. Instead of 2-3 goal lead we have to field our strongest team next week.

Miki and Lingard were poor.

Professional display. Finishing our Achilles heel still though.

Efficient and professional away performance- disappointing that we didn't score more but I thought we managed the game and Celta pretty well.
