I’ve been too used to being glad when our matches are over, so it’s nice that I don’t want them to end lately

Fred ended up edging the MOTM for me with those late goals. He also ran the midfield, even though Bruno gave the shine, Fred did the cleaning up and cutting out the danger.

I like that the team was aggressive in pushing pressing high up.
Good to see them go for the kill instead of taking the foot off the gas too.

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

Great first half. Bruno is just:drool:

Mata, Fred, McTom very good.

Just happy to be in the next round.

Well done to the lads and coaching staff.

Please change the score line at the banner. We won 5-0, not 4-0

Bruno + Mata was absolutely fantastic. Teams sitting back at Old Trafford need to watch out now, because they look like they’ve been playing for years.

Bruno seemingly taken years off Mata instantly.

And shoutout to Lingard. Came on, all be it in a training drill scenario, and played some very good football. Unlucky not to score, good assist and some positive runs. If he can impact like that every week, suddenly we look like we’ve got some squad depth.

Very enjoyable game. First half Bruno was pulling all the strings. He is an immense Signing and transforming the team. Mata was also superb... great brace from Fred capping an excellent performance form him and running Bruno close for MOTM. McT igahlo shaw also outstanding. Nice to see lingard get an assist....

Ighalo was way better than i expected, very impressed! Much better fit than Lukaku. Bruno is top quality, seems to be born to play for a massive club like ours. A similar aura to Cantona.
Good to see Mct back in good form, much needed. Another good game from Fred, superhappy he got to score as well.

Ighalo's contribution was very underrated too. His great first touch with back to goal has enabled Mata to play more one-two combinations off him, which brings Mata more into the game too.

Bruno motm again. The guy is creative beast.

Lovely to see Fred score some goals.

Mata looks different when Bruno on the pitch.

James was poor.

Ighalo get going. Always good to see striker scores.

We should avoid getting too over-excited with that ad just say Bruno is the new Cantona, Fred looks Scholesque and Jesse deserves a new contract.

They were poor and their defender hung his teammates out to dry in the first half but we played very well, with positives for pretty much every player to bring out of it. Thoroughly enjoyable all round.

The only negative is that we are definitely going to get Wolves.

Fecking fantastic tonight. 10 man Bruges or not that is the most dominant we have been for ages and we really looked a quality side tonight. Can't ask for more than that. Fred you fecking beauty!

Fabulous performance. Bruno was fantastic, but I gave MotM for Fred based on 2G+1A.
Chong, Mata and Lingard with assists as well, shitload of chances created, flashy performance. And a clean sheet for Romero (although he wasn’t at his best certainly and nearly scored an own goal even)

Lots of good performances and the ball moved around faster...makes a world of difference. Bruno is fantastic and hopefully once the team adjusts to his creative play we could seriously threaten better teams.

For singing YAWN...smacked bottom for Brugge!

Man I miss the days we'd be chasing the go ahead goal and lumping it to Fellaini in European second legs. This isn't the Man united way.

I feel for him.

Feel for him (lingers) you can see he's struggling at the moment.
