What a game. The Varane bit beforehand was brilliant and the game itself was just so fun. What a brilliant start for us!

Fred getting a goal, too. :lol: :drool: :devil:

With the Varane unveiling, seeing a packed Old Trafford for the first time in 18 months, the atmosphere, the vibe, the performance, Bruno's hattrick, Pogba's quad of assists, Fred's goal, Greenwood cementing his status. All at the back of Arsenal getting destroyed yesterday and the weekend sorted, for me this day is up there with the PSG result.

Am completely destroyed today!

That was our old United back lads. Up and running with impressive result and performance, some contrast from last seasons opener which proves how important an actual pre season is.

The haters will be shocked that the penalty king Bruno managed to score a hatrick from open play and Pogba is well worth keeping if he continues to influence games like that. (4 superb assists)

As for Leeds and to quote the 70k plus Old Trafford crowd. "5-1 in your cup final"

Thanks to the lads and coaching team for a wonderful start to the season. Entertained our fans at OT.

Pogba MOTM.

We just need to keep going. Consistency is key.

1 match down and 37 left to go for the title! :D

That was sensational season opener.

The assists and balls from Pogba were amazing.
Fantastic Hatrick for Bruno.
Midfield looked pretty good.
Defence was good also.

Solid depth in our squad.
We should be challenging for title.

I haven't felt this good about a season opener since the big man retired.

What a TEAM this is! Proper Manchester United!

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?
Think that's away games. We lost a couple of home games towards the end of last season.

Not at full strength, the result suggests we walked it.

A little sloppy in defence, they hit a few times. I’d like to see us control the game a little more and cut out the sloppy passes

Pogba showing his class

Bruno was awesome

Smashing performance, great start to the season. Only downside was letting those shitehawks score. Nice to send their scumbag fans home like this.

Missing the world class finish from Greenwood

Brilliant start of the season. We again made Leeds look rubbish (btw its just Leeds when we beat them and any other time Leeds is the best thing since sliced bread). Pogba and Bruno; both brilliant, its a toss of the coin for the MOTM between them. Greenwood looked really sharp and the defense comfortable and solid.

Brilliant performance from start to finish (well, until the subs which ended up killing all momentum essentially). Pogba and Bruno were sensational. Fred excellent as well. Greenwood very good throughout and brilliant goal. Maguire assured, Lindelof actually with an incredible performance and some brilliant long balls as well. Shaw his usual class, Wan Bissaka also brilliant.

What a difference is makes having everyone fresh again.

It's kind of sad he has to do this to make sure that Pogba gets the plaudits he deserves.

That said amazing photo.

We need to keep these two together for years to come. If Pogba does leave a world class replacement will be needed.

Wow! I predicted 3-1, but that was a hope more than expectation. The Everton game wasnt a fluke then. I did expect us to labour in the 2nd half, but apart from the last 5 mins maybe, we were fine. In fact you could say the subs stopped our flow a bit.
Everybody at least a 7.5/10 and Pogba and Bruno 10/10. Fantastic.

Chose Bruno as my man of the match but only because I couldn’t pick 2. Pogba was immense. Absolute unreal performances.

Well that was enjoyable. Slap in the face to our doubters, not to mention the matchday thread moaners.

Real opportunity now with our fixture list to build up a good head of steam.

Varane playing would have deprived us of that wonderful goal.. good thing he wasnt signed earlier.. Varane backup.

One thing about us now, that we had under Fergie and that Ole has brought back, is that I fancy us to score every time we go forward. When Greenwood burst in to the box for his goal, I just knew he was going to stick it away. Same with Bruno’s third. Just a great feeling supporting this club right now.
