Forgettable first half, much better in the second. Pogba was missed.

Hopefully we keep playing Lukaku, Martial and Rashford together

Great response after going down a goal and looking all over the place in defense.

Plenty of plus points. Managed to go through 75 minutes of no major error by Lindelof, which he will build on.

Pogba MOTM after long injury absence.

Martial, Rashford, Lukaku all contributing and combining well together.

Zlatan being Zlatan. Coming back from that injury, at this age, and still showing absolute class.

Excellent response. We'll only get better with Pogba, Rojo and Zlatan to sharpen up.

Pogba return, so does our 4 goals win. It's amazing to see how he transforms our team.

Great performance especially in second half. Amazing game from Pogba and Martial. Rashford looked much better second half as a second striker and Lukaku also improved a lot when moved to the right.

Easy game made hard due to the first goal, up to the next.

Pogba is so good.

Himself, Rashford, Martial, and Lukaku have to start every game.

Be nice to have Bailly and Rojo back asap though.

Terrible start was a bit of a concern, but we completely transformed in the second half. Maybe it was just a case of coming fresh off the international break.

Lukaku finally got his goal. Pogba is the absolute star, just imagine if we can add a half decent #10 or a third midfielder to him and Matic. Hopefully, Ibra can do the job there.

Pogba was immense today. Horrific first 30 minutes. Excellent after that. Need to stop these defensive errors though

So glad that Martial scored and Lukaku scored as well, he enjoyed himself in the second half, first 30 mins of the game was frustrating. Hopefully Martial and Rashford keep starting wiith Lukaku with Zlatan, Mata sharing the no 10 duties and Mkhi playing on the right if required.

Great stuff overall .. strong comeback- without Pogba would have drawn that.

Pogba being back makes all the difference.

Great to see Ibra back maybe the meltdown will end on here now so we can get back to chatting rather than the cesspit it turned into last few weeks.

It looks like we just avoid relegation after all.

Don't count your chickens just yet, though.

We had a slow start, but as the game went on we were better and better. Complete domination in the 2nd half and a good performance overall. Getting Pogba back makes a big, big difference and Martial and Marcu together looked great. Also having Ibra on the bench who in those 10 minutes or what made some good moves is great too.

Also Lukaku for a poor player (supposedly) and someone who has an awful 1st touch he made a brilliant goal imo. Glad he's back on track with the goals.


All in all quite enjoyable this one.

Awful 30 minutes in the first half and things looked pretty dire coming off the previous performances pre international break. Midfield and full backs in particular just not functioning properly.

Couple of goals resulted in a pretty obvious confidence lift and suddenly things looked a lot better.

Pogba looked quality in his moments. Genuinely looks too good for this current United side in flashes. Loved Lukaku’s smash to end the run without a goal and of course Ibra coming back was great to see.

2nd half saved it basically. Job done.

Ibra and Pog how I have missed you.
Nice touch to see BT play the Gerrard slip after the match though :lol:

Pogba’s composure and ability to hold the ball in the middle of the pitch has been missed immensely

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

Towards the end of the first half and second half were great.

We really missed Pogba. He was great. Happy for the other goalscorers. 3 points. Job done. Very happy.

Also - Mou must keep playing Martial-Rash-Lukaku.
