Pogba, Fernandes, Greenwood and McTominay all incredible today. Lindelof solid at the back too, almost feel sad for him that he'll be losing his place next week.

The current players are improving and we've got at least 2 class signings that are still to come in and make a big difference. Couldn't be more excited for this season!

How many unbeaten games now for United? I thought I saw a stat from last season saying that United is really close to equaling the record?

Looking sharp. Offensively so strong that I forgot you also have Rashford and Cavani in that mix.

Night and day difference from our start last season. Couldn't have asked for a better match.

Pogba, Bruno and Greenwood are class above all else. Shaw and Scott also had a fantastic match. I don't think anyone played poorly bar James.

What I liked the most is our urgency and intensity. From the get go we had a lot of energy and pressed them to score. When we conceded the equalizer we didn't go through the usual panic/losing our heads phase and in few minutes later we were leading 4-1 and completely finished the match.

This is a sensational reaction from the players.

The 5 goals were all well played and we played some fantastic football.

37 more matches like this please and we can win the league. :D

Lovely stuff.

Lots of excellent bits of play throughout the game and the finishing was fantastic. Just need Varane, Sancho, Martial, Cavani and Rashford to come in/return and get up to speed and our team looks like a legitimate threat again (on paper at least).

remember when people thought Leeds would smash us because our youth team couldn't beat QPR & Brentford in pre-season?
Have to say, that as much as I enjoyed that, two seasons in a two now, Leeds have been probably the most team, defensively, that we've faced. Even in the first half you felt we could have scored a few.

It genuinely feels like we're going to challenge this year. It's great to have proper football back with full crowds.

Result was all that mattered, so the performance was a lovely bonus.

Incredible game. From the back to mid to attack it was fantastic. The elite players did elite things and the "working" players worked great. Top level manager and staff.

Ok wow!!

and this was without rashford, cavani and varane. Stuff of dreams.

Can't wait to see the rest of the season unfurl. Football is about being entertained and certainly expect that to happen this season.

Same good feeling after beating Fulham 5-1 back in 06.

Great game.

Both Pogba and Bruno worth a 10, clearly stand out.

Honestly one of the best days I can remember as a United fan. Thumped the Leeds scum with five brilliant goals, Pogba and Bruno playing Ballon d'Or level stuff, sexy Varane getting announced at the actual game, Sancho debut. Absolutely no complaints, just smiles all around.

Surely must be a 10/10 performance from both Pogba and Bruno. If not, I don't know what is.

Great confidence booster to start the season. We played well, but you have to say Leeds were gash, hope they go down.

Didn't mention him but he was excellent as well.

Bruno hat-trick has to be motm. All three finishes were sublime. Pogba with 4 assist is a joint motm.
