Missed the game (at work) but from the updates I was getting it sounded like we were in control throughout. Good stuff :devil:

Best game at the Bridge in years. Ole has beaten Chelsea, Arsenal and Spurs away, which is no mean feat.

One thing that impressed me was Ole showing tactical flexibility. Switched his 4-3-3 for something else and had Mata in the middle. Gives me hope that the CL game was a learning experience for him and he can adjust his tactics for the return leg so that even if we lose, we lose honorably.

Just brilliant stuff. To be that comfortable at Stamford Bridge and them barely having a chance all game is brilliant, especially as a response to the PSG loss. That's how you bounce back. Give Ole the job already!!

Did the caf just crash? What an away performance at the Bridge! Herrera and Pogba stand outs, Herrera my MotM. Their interview after was a sight to behold as well. In the middle of being praised Herrera just breaks in to commend the players subbed in, captain without armband indeed!

Like under this guy Mourinho, way back when he knew how to play to win.

So satisfying. As it has been for every game except PSG.

I fully agree that we shouldn't jump to a decision and we might as well leave it 'til summer now but it'd be silly not to give Ole the job right now.

Fans were amazing as per. Oleeeee's at the wheel, tell me how good does it feel?

Perfect night.

Tactics spot on.

The trust in keeping Matic on despite being booked.

The scenes at the end seeing all the players together.

Pogba sublime - best in his position in world football.

Herrera excellent.

Not one player had a bad game.

Even the Sanchez - Herrera interview was brilliant to see again. Gives more hope of Sanchez and his mentality.

Maybe Chelsea will lose hazard and other key players in the summer and abramovich will get bored and they may descend back into mediocrity.

Just perfect.

What a fantastic performance. Everyone giving 100%. Smalling had Higuain in his pocket all night. Herrera an absolute beast in midfield. Lukaku put a shift in. Pogba and Rashford class.

Best United game I've seen in a long time. Like the Spurs game but without the panic.

Let's have an easy draw next please

Proud of them all tonight. Players and coaches.

Great response to the disappointment of PSG. A very good sign.

Players fighting tonight but staying controlled. Really good performance.

A win at the Bridge! Unbelievable.

Lindelöf, Pogba, Herrera, Rashford all excellent. Different gravy. Herrera my MOTM. Make him captain.

Mata, Smalling were also very impressive. Cracking block from Shaw and he paid the price.

10/10 for Ole tonight. The diamond was brilliant, I had hoped to see it second half against PSG. Tactically perfect tonight.

Quality performance

Herrera was a monster again and my man of the match.

Loved his interview after the game

Defensive nous and discipline mixed with sheer hard work and some incisive attacking football, just the kind of performance you would want in a tough away game like tonight. Worth mentioning that had Mourinho presided over tonight's result he would have been like the cat that got the cream and expounding his virtues to all and sundry. It would have been all about him and his footballing genius.
Playing very much like a team with a spirit and togetherness that means so much.
I wasn't convinced beforehand that United would come up with such a performance but it was a joy to watch.

It’s almost as if Mata is best played at #10 role

My word! Hard to overstate that performance. Massive massive win. Right up there in the top drawer. After the deflation of last week and the loss of two big game starters. Like Lineker said...too many games to be a flash in the pan. Ole and his staff are definitely hitting the right tunes. I'm so proud of my team tonight. Every one of them was excellent. Oh, and it anyone was wondering what our best centre back pairing is...that was it out there tonight.

Take a bow everyone. Awesome performance by each and every player. Pogba was world calls as usual. Rashford really came of age today and was playing so much maturely. The Defense was fabulous. Smalling and Lindeloff is our best combo. I'm loving watching United.

Defense and work off the ball was immense. Mentality and confidence is back. Incredible stuff by OGS.

Great team performance.

Outstanding performance especially when you considering we were missing two of our first choice players.
