Pogba Motm closely followed by Daley.

Special mention to Rashford of course and Darmian.

Lingard + Mkhitaryan were as bad as each other, total shit.

Should have been a much better result really, they were relatively awful. Now we'll have to play a full strength team next week.

Nice professional display and a good win. Barring a huge shock at OT we really should advance to the final.
We should have had a goal or 2 more but I'm not complaining.
Romero on goal is our lucky charm. :)

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.
Because there is a huge difference between a 1-0 away win and a 1-1 draw. They've really got to come at us at Old Trafford now and that should play into our hands.

Good result but should have been out of sight. Really need a clinical striker for next season to get all these missed chances out of our system.

Good performance, and as always, loads of chances but just a goal

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.
Some posters are just ready with their complaints against Jose, even if theyre imaginary

Decent performance overall, should've been more but Vigo are terrible.

Good result but could have been better scoreline in our favour. They too missed couple of good chances in 2nd half so now I feel less bad about our first half misses. Pogba was top class.

Honestly expected more from them. Thought they'd pile the pressure on for good periods and make it feel like a tough European game. Fail to put them away at OT and that would be a tragedy.

Honestly they were like Preston North end level, we should have put that to bed with a simple 3-0.

a rare away win in Europe. I will take it. Sets us up good for the inevitable 1-1 draw at OT next week

We've missed Pogba, head and shoulders above everyone else out there.
So obvious. The only player in our team who can keep the ball under pressure. So important to link everybody together.

Should have been more but thank Christ it's a win instead of a draw, should put these away at home, they look poor

These were pretty shit tbh, expected a lot more. Bit of a shame we didn't put away the other chances.

Still I would have snapped your hand if you offered us this result before the game.

Why wouldn't we have anyway, given the Europa is our best chance for CL?

Messi and Ronaldo getting 50 goals a season in Spain is less impressive when Iago fecking Aspas is scoring 25 goals a season too. That Vigo team would struggle to stay up in the PL by the looks of it.

Acceptable result. However, based on our dominance it should have been a lot more comfortable.

Should be 2-0 to us. A 1-0 is a precarious position because one flukey goal from them and it cancels it out.

Still though good win. Should have scored more though.

Nonchalantly scoring the winner...
Great result and really solid away performance.

I love that we're becoming a proper José team, I just love the grit, that ruthless winning desire is just slowly starting to seep through our squad and it's great to see.

Also really proud of the players who are stepping up at the moment.

This pretty much sums up the game for me. Romero was also good.

Just in case anyone missed it. I don't like Mount.

Relieved. Please let's just see it out next Thursday.

Happy to see Pogba back as well.

Rash :drool:

Blind excellent as well.

Jesse please go and work on your finishing.

Professional job. Wish we had more of those in the Premiership this season. Pretty much just got the job done.

Pretty good, Celta didn't create much. A tad annoying we don't win with 2 goals at least, I felt we deserved that.

Pogba was great I think and Rashford produces one of those great moments needed to be a top striker.

Great result. We can't score for toffee as usual, but I'll take another couple of 1-0s and the Cup.

Moaners: we haven't won away in Spain since... forever. Ten years probably. Delighted.

If you compare Lingard to Mkhitaryan today, then you don't know much about football. Lingards finishing wasn't good enough, but he could have scored 3 goals today. He is probably the smartest footballer in our side - noone even comes close to find these positions as well as he does.
