Well what I would do going forward is keep Fred and McT...sell Pogba ASAP...and add a new AM....Maddison maybe?Fred McT and Lingard can be a decent midfield.
Now imagine if had a fully functioning Pogba there.

Fair play Jose, sorry about James trying to take you out with his headWell, at least Mourinho didn't hold grudges. This news here said he congrads every United players after the match against Spurs. He did shake hands with United players.

And he also did admit in the post match interview and United deservingly to get the win, and they play great in the match.
oh come on. don't tell me you just started watching United. We lost to Spurs three nil at home just last season.10% of our fans believe we will lose a home game by 3 or 5 goals ? Based on what is that even realistic ? It could happen - but it isn't very realistic
He had a decent game for sure.It’s not really been commented on which is strange given how big a deal it is - what did we think of Mason Greenwood’s performance? I thought he was mobile, intelligent and took up good positions.
I agree with this. Martial's lack of movement is problematic as is pogba's lack of tempo. I think if we play pogba in that number 10 position then he will have no choice but to get with it in terms of a high tempo especially with fred and mctominay behind him....but i could be wrong.We have better movement across the frontline without Martial, and better tempo to our passing without Pogba. That's why, for once, we were able to dominate a team for the full 90 minutes, despite the opposition sitting deep and denying us space.
Don't get me wrong, though. Pogba and Martial are our two most talented players. They just happen to be bad at the things that elevate the team dynamics. Both are magical talents, with an unmagical ability to drag the people around them down on their bad days.
This performance was all about Rashford, Greenwood and James buzzing about like flies; and Fred, McTominay and Lingard passing the ball on quickly (although, to be honest, uncreatively).
But a bit like Liverpool, you don't need creativity in midfield if you have simple passing allied with constant intelligent motion up front.
I hate to say it, but there were a lot of similiraties to Klopp's gameplan today. The cnut.
Yes mature’s the word I wasn’t worried about him as I can be about Williams and similar. Got a good shot off and just fitted into the team ethos nicely.He had a decent game for sure.
A bit anonymous and careful , and not really providing a proper threat. But as you say, he took up good positions, was very mobile and had a good understanding of James and Rashfords movements. Mature performance. But he's got to find that killer instinct.
I'm not selling it.Not buying that at all.
Most of the time he was double marked and he created a lot of chances from very little space. By the end of the game, he was blowing out of his arse. A good goal scoring record against the top teams. His perceived attitude is very subjective
New rhetoric?? Rashford played game after game under JoseRashford looked very driven. If it was personal because he still holds a grudge against Jose
I know. But there were games he wasn't played in. I'm only surmising, but Marcus certainly had a different look last night, including his facial expressions.New rhetoric?? Rashford played game after game under Jose
We really need a sub forum for the body language expertsI know. But there were games he wasn't played in. I'm only surmising, but Marcus certainly had a different look last night, including his facial expressions.
Sure, that's why we got an ageing Sanchez in January and Mourinho wanted to play him, Lukaku and Mata as the front 3.New rhetoric?? Rashford played game after game under Jose
They had that on the traffic info signs coming into ManchesterLads it’s Tottenham.
I'm not claiming to be a body language experts. It doesn't take an expert to see a determination on the face of Rashford last night that has been missing for a lot of the season.We really need a sub forum for the body language experts
Give it a rest would you.I'm not selling it.
That's my take on him over a lot of games this season. You have your opinion and I have mine.
One game and the "love" is back for him. The first one was a goalkeeping howler, but to be fair he got his shot off on target. A great effort hitting the bar when he was having his purple patch. His wide play was poor end product in my opinion, bar the burst at the start of the second half for the penalty. His attitude is still an issue for me and it appears more often than not. It tells me a lot about this current United team that we have to rely on him so much.
I prefer to mention McTominay's outstanding performance and valuble game time for Greenwood who did not look out of place. Fred was decent too with someone next to him sharing the load. The back four were quite dodgy too.
The home crowd are still with Ole for now. Fine margins - if Spurs had won it may have been different. As for ole's subs............WTF!
Why does Rashford hold a grudge again Jose?Delighted we won. We needed a win badly.
Let's be honest though, if the return of Jose didn't drag an improved effort from us nothing will.
Let's see how we do at the weekend.
Good to have Scotty back.
Did he have a grudge? He did once say that Rashford was in a ‘sad’ stateWhy does Rashford hold a grudge again Jose?
Jose played Rashford loads of times when he was here.
Not all opinion is equally valid.I'm not selling it.

More for my money - his salary.Give it a rest would you.
Rashfords attitude is arguably one of his best attributes, and his work rate this year has seen a marked improvement, and I'd hazard a guess in saying the stats would agree with me. its early December and he's a goal away from a record season. Not sure what more you want from a 22 year old who's played under 3 managers all wanting different things from him in 4 years.
Also, our tactics were working last night, be it at a fine margin. More radical subs would have been a huge risk.
I didn't say he did. Just making the point that teams usually try harder when up against an ex manager.Why does Rashford hold a grudge again Jose?

I agree. He didn't have a lot of touches but most were spot on. I think he had one misplaced pass the whole night. His cushion passes and one-touch passes are already better than Rashford and Martial's. And I don't know how he got that shot off and through legs, but that's a sign of a true goal scorer.It’s not really been commented on which is strange given how big a deal it is - what did we think of Mason Greenwood’s performance? I thought he was mobile, intelligent and took up good positions.
He seems to be settling at last, hopefully he can continue to progress. He has a great engine.Great result and a good performance. Even DDG looked really safe toward the end and put the defence at ease which was a real relief.
Fred was my MOTM he was brilliant all night bar one or two loose passes, he covered masses of ground and distributed the ball brilliantly.
