Professional job and the goals scorers pretty much needed one so that was great to see.

Wednesday won't be pretty but hopefully we don't get too many injuries in the next two games. They definitely need the upcoming break.

Given the playing conditions it was quite an entertaining game with some very good goals.

Didn’t watch the game today but you can’t really have too many complaints with a 6-0 win.

I hope the kit man puts in a better performance than Andreas Pereira, even against such a poor team he looked poor in my opinion.

Never knew Maguire had it in him to score one of those belters :drool: Nice easy game. Looking forward to the 5th round draw.

Disagree, We have slipped up on many occasions in the last few years by going into games like this with exactly the wrong mindset. Today, no arrogance, no showboating. A professional performance, regardless of who it is. Positives to be taken from any game if you look hard enough.
Not in the FA Cup. Our record is something like 1 loss ever vs a Championship/League 1 side.

Hopefully a morale boosting win. Lingard and Jones score again. Greenwood youngest player since Whiteside to score 10 goals. Pereira and Chong still shit. Lets hope for another lower league team we can spank.

Great professional performance. More of that attitude and application going forward please. Could easily have faltered here but they were properly switched on. Another clean sheet for Romero. Dude is a collector of those!

Poor opposition aside, good performance and result from the lads, which along with the spread of goals can only add confidence to the team. Through to the next round!

Don't think trouncing Tranmere tells us much. Not trouncing Tranmere would have told us quite a lot though. So there's that.

Obviously pleased to progress when it could easily have been a huge banana skin.
To score 6 without reply is good for the team and Romero (again) and no injuries on that pitch is also a positive.
Regardless of his goal today, Lingard has to be done as a United player as has Andreas......both are nothing, lightweight players who are simply not good enough for a United who aspire to the highest levels.
Also, I read a lot of clamour for Chong...why? The few chances he's had in the first team have amounted to absolutely nothing and today, against a knackered level 3 team his only contribution was a smack against the bar. Again, nowhere near good enough for United.
Brandon Williams has taken his opportunity by the scruff of the neck and fair play to him but Chong, no.

That was enjoyable as feck.

Also I love our away support. Loud throughout and for once recently the football didn't ruin a good day out. The perfect combination of support for Ole and the lads and distain for the Glazers and Woodward. Love United hate Glazer embodied by the travelling fans today. I hope the TV mics picked it up.

Good Lord.
People don't want Bruno Fernandes in here because he's just a two time Portuguese League MVP, and then jizz themselves over our dross because they beat a pub team.
Go figure.
This was just a training. We'll resume our shameful season effective immediately.

Felt more like a training or pre season game... Maguire for example didnt even celebrate his goal.

Wish Ole played more reserve/youth and not the same players he also uses in the Premier League.
Good performance but this is what baffled me a league one opposition with a full fledged premier starting 11 ? I think Solskjaer is feeling the pressure a little too much to the extent he's being slightly desperate. He should be putting all his eggs into the Europa / Top four basket. Forget about the rest we can't build from domestic cup success.
