3 goals today crafted against the low block. Definitely goes to show that tactics only go so far, you need the players to execute them.

Looked really good for parts of the game. Martial had a fantastic performance with his 3 goal. The third was just :drool:

A thorough dismantling. 6 shots on target was more the Sheffield U's 4 shots total. That was just fun to watch.

Good stuff, threatened at times to run absolutely riot but you have to be happy with that. Our first league hattrick since Denis Law too.

Martial forgot the match ball, had to nip back to get it :lol:

With a few additions it could be a great team.

Pogba, Fernandes will compete with any midfield in the world honestly.

Promising signs

Our most dominant performance under Ole, for me.

The Ole Out brigade must be furious right now.

Let's keep this up :devil: Strong end to the season with 2 good cup runs would be lovely. Come on United!

That was great to watch wasn't it. So pleased football is back, and looks like United have just continued the feel good from pre lockdown.

Fingers crossed! Can't stop grinning...

Created some good chances and made a good side look very average.

We are in title winning form (in a normal season).

Couple of negatives for me is, looks like story the rest of the year could well be a number 10 blocking pogbas creative contribution again (although personally think he is better vs most opponent in a functional deep role), and shaw really looks out of ideas for me. Not sure De Gea touched the ball so hopefully that narrative goes away for a while

A lot of people need to hear this. Even when we changed and made the subs, the quality in the build up went down drastically. Players make teams, tactics simply give them a platform to enhance it.

Brilliant that. Were so comfortable and Martial was lethal with his finishing.

Bruno’s signing was a masterstroke from Ole.

Only one complaint from me, really minor too. I don't get why for the last 11 minutes we didn't really try to score a 4th and 5th. We do this all the time, top teams should be looking to score all the time. I'll put it down to heat exhaustion for now.

Otherwise, I really enjoyed sitting back stress free, watching us dominate the game. Man of match is really hard. Could be Martial for this three goals or one of Pogba, Matic and Bruno who all ran the show showcasing there abilities.

Couldn't ask for anything more. Minimal effort, easy win, nice boost to GD, some excellent football, Martial hat-trick and looks like no injuries. Keep them coming like that and we'll catch Leicester with ease.

A 13 game unbeaten run, 33 goals scored and just 3 goals conceded in that run.
They said Ole was clueless. They said he would ruin us. And it's just the first full season. Imagine the "damage" he can do with couple more transfer windows. ;)

Sheeeeeeeeeet. Is that for real? That's great.
Completely controlled that game. Quite a Fergie-esque performance, I thought. Very controlled in midfield, could have scored more, but the finishes were really tidy. Never looked in danger of that and even had some depth on the bench. Great game.
