Some quality stuff during many moments of the game. Handled Fenerbahce really well. Really hope this opens up the floodgates for Pogba now that he's bagged two.

4-1.
Easy win.
Nothing else to add, really.
No complaints from me.

Lets focus on Chelsea, now.

Nice 4 goals. Nice game, some nice moves. Pogba with 2 goals which will do wonders for his confidence, Lingard, Carrick, Martial, Rooney, all good games. Darmian was decent also if not good, defense got the job done.

Did I write a word nice. If not overall it was a nice evening.

Took a while to get in it, but a very good win. Didn't expect much in a Thursday night game.

Now two huge games coming up. Let's keep it up.

Did the job. Carrick my man of the match. We seriously miss his passing range and vision in games.

Strange match - where we scored on our first 4 shots on target, and were 4-0 up after 48 minutes without actually playing that well. We were solid defensively apart from the last 10 minutes when we couldn't really be bothered to do the necessary jobs.

Shaw is a concern to me - he is so far away from where he was before the injury. He is not providing too much going forward - and he is sloppy defensively.

Should have managed to score 5 and keep a clean sheet, oh well. Very enjoyable game overall. Highlight being Pogba's second. :drool:

Boring as feck but pleased that Rooney, Mata and Lingard did well. Great strikes from Lingard and Pogba too.

Good win, dominant from start to finish and don't mind RvP getting one at the other end really. Mata I thought was MotM, but everyone out there did well. Darmian and Rooney special mentions for producing actual quality performances for the first time in ages. Martial, Lingard, Carrick and Pogba all did well too.

Bit annoying that if it weren't for the offside goal Feyenoord scored against us, we'd be 2 points ahead in 1st place with 7 points.

Enjoayable game

Memphis looked decent when he came on. TFM looked impressive in midfield when he came on.

Shaw needs to watch his back, Blind for me has to start against Chelsea now.

Rooney was pretty good, was desperate for him to score

Great result. Good performance. The goals should help Pogba's confidence. Thought Shaw done well on his comback. Rooney looked better but still not good enough for him to start against Chelsea. Fosu-Mensah looks at home in midfield rather than right back.

Good game after the first goal. The problem is scoring the first goal. We seem to just keep playing aimlessly. Chelsea will be a very difficult game and if United don't start well, it would be disastrous.

Pogba, Martial, Mata, Shaw were all decent to good. Rooney needs to retire.

Some very good performances tonight, dont think any of the squad players did their chances any harm either.
Gave Mata motm because i think most of our best play involved him, was a bit unlucky not to get himself a goal
hes really kicked it up a notch this season and would be one of the first names i throw in the team at this point.

Its a long way back for memphis, you have to feel a bit sorry for him.

Yeah...I'm wondering whether that is where Jose seems him eventually........

Job done. Happy for the goal scorers. Now on to Chelsea

Forgot to say happy to see RVP's reception.

Good result. We switched off midway through the second half, given the score line and subs that was to be expected.

The players that needed it most got the confident boost they were crying out for. That's very pleasing. Hopefully they go into the Chelsea game with tails up.

PS) Oh Robin Van Persie! :p

Good performance, one of the more comfortable games we've had in some time and we got a coiuple of cracking strikes into the bargain.
