So sweet. Having to listen to Martin Tyler's anti-United, non-stop negative commentary and suffer Mike Dean's refereeing makes it so enjoyable.

What an amazing match. Credit to Ole and the team. Bruno is an amazing player and what a cameo by Ighalo. It's been a good few years I think since we beat City by more than 1 goal.

3 MASSIVE points!
Another clean sheet!
Sir Bruno of Mancunia pulling the strings again!
A cheeky 40 yard goal to wrap it up!

Ahhh beautiful. So so beautiful!

Unbelievable effort by the players and fair play to the coaching staff, the game plan was absolutely spot on.

Only frustration was the final ball. Bruno could've had 3 if the ball was squared to him.

Apart from that, perfect.

Im really proud of the lads tonight. They gave everything. You can really see they playing for Ole and trust his tactics.

Some mistakes of course, but i dont give a shit as long as they give all. And they did today!

Bruno, what a player. Maguire probably my MOTM. Fred with his nonstop running and recovering the ball is just something else. Absolute engine!

McTomminay last minute goal. Reminds me of the Fergie days.
Mike Dean go feck yourself.

absolutely buzzing!!:devil:

Shaw MOTM for me, but there are a lot of close seconds. AWB, Martial, Maguire...even Matic.

But this one really goes to Ole.

We have kept a clean sheet. Happy woth that.

Also, this will be a teachable moment for James, expect a ton of cutbacks going forward.

We can really feel there is something shaping up now. It's not about the way we play or the results, it's about the spirit, the energy. For the first time since god knows, I knew at the end we would not concede.

Crowd was freaking awesome throughout the game. Players were highly motivated.

Ole and Dean tried hard but this was united's day. Dean's decisions were scandalous while Ole's substitutions were completely illogical and as usual too late in the game. He was lucky that whatever stupid things he tried today the players were so motivated that they put their lives on line for united.

James has to learn a lot. I mean a lot. Bruno going to beat him up tonight.
Martial started slow but then he got into the game. He had a decent game today. Bruno gave perfect pass but that goal was very difficult to score. Well done!
Bruno was manmaked and isolated. Fred couldn't distribute to him as he was constantly pressed. Without McT the team looked unbalanced, again. What a goal to finish the game!
Ighalo came and due to his hold up game suddently brought some calm in the game.
Our defenders were good, held the line. Special words for AWB. How he found so much energy and timely tackles? Great man.
Williams started decently but sheer quality of City was overwhelming for him to manage. And when Mahrez came on he practically finished Williams. It is good to have such reality check for young lands. Will is talented and he will improve.
Fred is a workhorse. He gave everything today. Although I hope he should improve his ball control in tight areas. Teams have now started pressing him.

Overall great win. Who doesn't like to win! good work entire team.

Whole team were splendid today. Proper team victory.

And massive credit to Martial; he put in a proper shift both sides of the ball and even in the air!

Been a long time since I've been this happy with a United win.

I've had a weird taste in my mouth when we've gotten good results against big teams because we've won like a bottom-league team.

Today, we played well and deserved to win against one of the best teams in the world.

I might have to eat my words next week but today felt like a turning point. Certainly an emotional one for me.

Best all-round performance for some time now. Everyone played their part. Fred's energy was astounding, so he gets my vote for man of, but all of them excellent.

Just in case anyone missed it. I don't like Mount.

Great game.

We fought like lions all game. For so many games the last couple of years i think we have lacked leaders but today i saw many. Maguire, Matic, Fred. Bruno, Martial, Shaw. All of them played like leaders today and it was great to watch

Very good game from all the players. Even the whipping boys on here. Didn't cede an inch, were decisive on the counter, could have scored more. City were off all afternoon but we definitely made it hard for them to get into rhythm.

Bruno got into the flow of things after 25 minutes, wish Ole made things easier for him from the jump. Shaw had a great game. Fred was the best midfield player from both sides.

James needs to come off the bench more. He's better with more space period.

Great way to close out the weekend.
