I would say Pawson is glad. That was as blatant a handball as any you will see.

Anaemic performance tonight. Mourinho again making some bizarre decisions like playing Bailly on the right instead of Darmian, than letting Bailly play under injury for 50 minutes. Also keeping Rooney when he was clearly injured after that tackle from Dilaney.

All in all important 3 points but game was very bleak IMO. Ibrahimovic or Pogba MOTM.

It's getting stressful to watch us, it's a rollercoaster of emotions. Delighted with a win though, Pogba was great tonight, a few misplaced passes here and there but was central to everything good we did and pretty much won us the game.

What a match. What an important win. All of our rivals won tonight, if we drew it would be back to square one. Last time we won 2 on the trot was what, back in August? :)
I think it was deserved, we had our chances. Palace gave a good fight, we fell a sleep a bit in the 2nd but I always felt we have one more goal in us. We looked dangerous.

Zlatan and Pogba.. What to say. They combine so good. Ibra to Pogba for 1st and Pogba to Ibra for 2nd. What a beautiful assist by Poggers and what a proper striker goal from Ibra.. I'm a happy man.

Can't believe it was even as close as that, need to make our dominance count in these games.

Its an awful pity we didnt win all those drawn games, because we would be in the mix.

As of now its a fight for fourth.

That was a hard fought win if I've ever seen one. A lot on here said before the game that if we were to win, it'd be by a goal and they were right. What a finish from the Swedish master! so important we kept in touch with the teams above, so vital.

Big big win. All our rivals did well today if we had lost today we would have been miles away from top 4 yet again.

Finally proved we can battle despite conceding a lead.. Which is a first for us I think this season.

Zlatan you beautiful giant what a finish and Pogba was influential yet again.

We really need to manage the use of Mata and Rooney better.. Don't mind them in the first half but once the game gets stretched they are both liabilities.

Buzzing.

Great win. Fantastic spirit from the team.

Think bringing Rooney off was a great decision. He wasn't awful but looked like he'd lost his temper.

Needed this win.

Massive three points with all our main rivals winning tonight. They've all got tougher games to come now, whereas we have some (dare I say it) banker wins. Lets close the gap and watch the rest of them shit themselves.

No doubt we're going to be a force with mourinho in charge.

Not going to follow the game via the Matchday Thread again. Some of the stuff spouted in there tonight was embarrassing.

Good win at a tough ground! Two in a row. Keep going lads!

Get in! What a finish by that Zlatan lad.

Now this is the United of old. Last minute winners, and winning despite having some decisions against us. Those handball and offside decisions were criminal. Referees really need to be held accountable to their mistakes.

good three points. We reaally miss Miki though and I hate the way we lack intensity at times. It allows teams to pressure us and we often loose out.

Sorely missed these late winners. Good to see us not settling for anything but the 3 points tonight. The refereeing was pretty atrocious though. Everyone has a right to feel a bit aggrieved.

That felt so so good. Overcoming adversity and actually scoring goals. Lovely stuff.

That disallowed goal and non-penalty were absolutely ridiculous decisions
Tbf only one of those are on the ref. Thought he was otherwise good in the game. That handball non-call was horrible.

Ref decisions evened themselves out so both sides were affected by poor decisions. We were denied a goal and a penalty!!

Like to see what Pardew has to say about his player diving!

Good 3 points and relieved to get the win at the end but we simply have to push harder for a second goal after taking the lead in games like this to kill the other team off. We're not exactly making life easy for ourselves in these games.

Important win to get some momentum going. It wasn't pretty and we nearly fecked it up again in typical fashion, but finally we manage back to back wins again.

Remarkable performance from the officials today. If I've ever seen a worse display, I certainly can't remember it. This must rank as one of the worst in top level football in recent years. We've all seen games with one or maybe two farcical decisions but today it was pouring terrible calls. Surely these officials can't get another Premier League game any time soon? It would be a travesty.

A round of applause to that fecking twat Alan Pardew who brought on two ex-United players in the hope that they would steal the headlines tomorrow morning. Feck off.

We fully deserved that win. With a better referee we would have won with a much bigger margin. Horrendous performance from ref.

Happy for Pogba to deliver a MoM. Ibra earned his corn today and showed that class is permanent, also enjoyed his defensive cameo at the end.

Bailly was great at RB and really don't know what Rooney's injury are you talking about...

Don't be so bleak cause it wasn't bleak.

All that panic beforehand about Zaha and it was some world class skills from fecking Damien Delaney that nearly caused our undoing!

Palace played like a pub team tonight, we could have put 5 past them but were happy to sit back in the second half. Struggling to understand this midset after so many points dropped in similar situations.
