Nice win, we played some nice football, onwards and upwards. Glad for Shaw.

Showed composure to come back from behind and preserve the home record.

Rather comfortable apart from that little scare.

Can't wait to see who we get in the next round. It's been far too long.

Very fun game. Really enjoyed watching it.

Important goal for Lukaku too and very good game for Shaw.

Good game but felt like a bit of an exhibition.

Bring on City!

Mata MOTM for me, a good win but at times we were incredibly wasteful up front, cannot have that against City. I'd say it was quite a good game from the three CBs too, encouraging signs from Shaw but for those fecking cramps.

Controlled most of the match, result was more comfortable than the scoreline suggested. We also managed to rest key players and sub others ahead of the derby. Also pleased that Lukaku and Rashford scored after long dry spells.

Overall a very pleasing evening. I just wish we would have been a bit better with some of our final balls and decision making in the last third.

frustrating game at times, final ball was lacking. Some superb attacking nonetheless especially from Rashford who tormented them from the start. His dribbling has improved tenfold what a player !

Professional. We're so so so much better than we were under LVG/Moyes, today would have been a loss simply because we couldn't be arsed.

Job done in second gear and some good football to boot. MOTM Shaw, delighted for him.

On to the derby.

Job done. Good to see Lukaku score, good to see Rashford score. We looked great at times with constant pressure on them, but we lacked end product for much of the game and we were downright sloppy for the second quarter, which was a shame.

They were no shakes and I certainly don't see it as anything other than a confidence booster for the scorers and for Shaw to get 90 minutes under his belt.

Thought we played well. On another day we could have gotten past 4 goals. Sloppy defending for their goal, but we were rarely troubled.

Referee & linesman utter crap!

Rashford, except for his finish was cery wasteful and poor final ball.

Pogba looked great at times but bored at others.

Mata put in a good performance.

Shaw looked sharp and very quick and a credible challenger for youngs LB spot.

All in we got the job done with ease but we gave the ball away way too much, especially in the final 3rd.

Good calm game. Somenice offensive moves.

Was scared for a moment they would ruin the home record. Hopefully the Lukaku goal will give him much needed confidence for the derby.

Are you watching closely?
Our attacking movement has improved considerably lately. Still lots of room for improvement, but encouraging signs indeed.

Great to see Shaw back too, was fantastic going forward at times.

That kind of goes without saying at this point. Those horrible era’s are well and truly behind us.

A stroll in the park. Couldn't pick out a MoM between Pogba, Lukaku, Rashford and Shaw, who were all equally brilliant.

We played some great stuff tonight, really enjoyable performance, our attacking players are thriving with the 3-4-3 and it was great to see Luke Shaw have a good 90 minutes.

It's the Pogba effect. Simply makes United many times better.

Job done.

Pogba, Mata, Shaw & Rooney clearly our best players on the night.

The large number of naked Geordies in the CSKA end was a bit weird.

Herrera looking something like the player of the year he was last season

Shaw very positive going forward no defensive errors

Lukaku back scoring

Rashford back scoring

All in the nick of time. Such a shame the sensational Pogba will be out.
