I think that it was the way that we have been playing this season that made this so special. I've been crying out for a performance like that for 2.5 seasons so when it finally comes it's like a monsoon in a desert.

Post-match discussion

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Nope. I left because I had 60 odd kids around me blowing a vuvuzela every other second.
What's this horny thing? I haven't been following.
Memphis was incredible tonight. His greed very enjoyable to watch. Losing 2-1 away, playing young players at home, get 0-1 behind and still win 5-1. Pretty epic.
Could have been 8-0 as well, you still see the same mistakes happen, just against a lesser team.

Liking that Roachford guy
I don't care if it was against the worst team in Europe, I'm just happy to see the young players enjoy themselves and actually being able to entertain the crowd. Most of us have forgotten how it looks when a United players performs a YouTube worthy dribble.
LVG said in his presser that he wants his players to be horny
Just enjoy this result for what it is. It's been so negative for the right reasons all season long, one night of happiness cannot hurt.
Just enjoy the match and the result
He must have found his cuddly toy before kick off.
Giggsy is starting to have a bit too much influence.
An enjoyable performance. Hopefully Memphis can translate that confidence against better opposition now. The youngsters did good. Solid performances from Varela and Riley. What I liked most about Rashford was the fact that he wasn't hiding next to defenders but actually watching what was happening and picking up space in the box to react on his goals.
Kiss my face
The injuries to the rest of the attack could be the making of Memphis. Looked to link up well with Riley. Obviously don't like our chances against Arsenal but he can create havoc if he stays this horny
Rashford ate up his service, very impressive how hard he worked. Those goals lit a fire under everyone

Just happy we're through to the next round.
They played with a lot more confidence tonight and the ball was moving around a lot quicker. Also they wanted more and more goals.
I might have to delete 'Depoop' from my predictive texting.
Great game. The kinky feckers.
Plenty of other threads full of many ppl reliving the PAST 1.5 SEASONS on a daily basis. This is the post-match discussion thread where it's great to be able to enjoy an exciting performance!
Tonight shouldn't be taken as any kind of indication as to how sunday will go. We were ace tonight but arsenal are a million miles away from tonights opponents.
Was great to see but lets make sure we collectively give the manager absolutely no fecking credit whatsoever.
Attacking display from first to last minute without sideway and back passes, no dicking around 16y box but always looking to put ball in and playing in pretty high tempo and pace, don't remember when was the last time I saw that from United.
Horny horny man united, as the reds go marching on on on !!!
Memphis fantastic today, the guy just needs a good run in the team to help him get his confidence up. And fantastic from all our young players, they stepped up fantastically.
There were plenty of international players in that opposition side today, and we played half a team with next to none senior appearances. That was very impressive and bloody enjoyable.
Gasps....really????
He should be our youth team manager then
Whatever the criticism of the man. He can get the kids to play
Cant complain much because of the score-line, but im less enthusiastic than the majority on here seem to be.
People seem to be basing the whole game off of how it turned out once Midtjelland's heads had gone and they'd all but given up.
1-0 down to some Sunday league defending from Carrick and Blind, Carrick playing a fair number of wildly miss-placed passes.
Rashford looked decent and took his chances well but also looked a bit lightweight at times, shrugged off by the centre backs a few times.
As for the rest, its not much different to what should be expected from them against Midtjelland, Schneiderlin being able to be a defensive midfielder for a change!!!!! wow give him a 10/10. Memphis yes looked dazzling with the tricks and breezing past people or doing keepie-uppies over opposition heads, but lets face it, its no different to what he's been attempting all season, difference being decent fullbacks will usually take the ball from him and laugh about how silly he looks afterwards.
Will Memphis be able to replicate that at weekend up against Bellerin with Coquelin and Koscielny/Mert for help....doubtful. id love it if that was the turn around for him, but its incredibly unlikely.
And as much as id love to see Rashford do well, he's going to be up against Koscielny and Mertesacker in his first fully challenging game......
And all thats before you start worrying about Ozil and Sanchez terrorising a ludicrous potential centre back pairing of Carrick and Blind. Can you imagine the carnage if Carrick plays at all, let alone at centre back.

We are improving. On Monday it was Shrewsbury of Division One. Both games showed a lot of good things.
I bet Rashford will give old Per something to think about this weekend

Yes the season has been sh!te but we had a good night. In seasons like this when they are few and far between it's important to celebrate the great performance.
More so than in a season where they are happening every other week.
It's not about believing in a greater United revival it's about being happy with what happened on the night.

That was fun.
He will. Wenger must surely be looking at a CB in the summer.
It was a lot of fun.
I can't recall us scoring 5 in a game since SAF retired.. Maybe I am wrong but it has definitely not happened under LvG..
Yes it was against a team playing only their second competitive game in two months.. So what?! I'll take a win any day under any circumstances..
The kids were absolutely great today.. Riley, Rashford, Varela were all wonderful.. Memphis was something else today and I am glad he got a goal end of the night.. His performance deserved a goal..
Would have been nice had the penalty been at 4-1 that would have allowed Rashford to go for his hatrick.. Or maybe our manager is not the sentimental type and would still have been next man up i.e: Herrera..
We created more, we were moving the ball well and it was a good performance..
Again, the kids were absolutely great.. We can complain about LvG about many things, but not about giving youngsters chance..
I would still want Mourinho end of season, but I just hope he changes his approach about giving kids chance.. That's the only thing that worries me about him being our manager.. But this point is for another thread..
Tonight it is about the kids and the kids are alright!!

Twenty five chances created. Nine on target and fourteen corners. Entertaining stuff.
You have to get someone scoring penalties, yes it would have been nice for Rashford, but a couple of games time he might not be playing. Ander is now the penalty taker until he misses one. The way he takes them I'm not sure he would miss.
Still shocking we sold our identity with Welbeck.
