Enjoyed every second of it like last Thursday

It's so clear we have good players and we should be right up there challenging

Just get it right in the league ffs

A repeat of the weekend performance. A really good performance deserving of a 3 goal margin.

I've not said this post Ferguson but I think this team is close to being very good.

Very enjoyable after a slightly sticky patch earlier on. Highlights include Martial x2, Ibra x2, Mkhi, Rooney, Rojo, Jones and of course BFS.

Now for Christ's sake start doing this in the league.

fantastic

Mhikitaryan superb, Rooney very very good and an excellent team performance in attack

just tighten things up at the back and I think we can have a superb end of season

really happy to see the quality we had in wide positions with Martial and Mhiki

Ibra and Rooney linked up superbly

lets hope our finishing continues to improve

bring on Everton

Very good performance by United tonight. Especially Mkhi who is amazing, but also Rooney was good IMO, as was Jones.

I'm happy we're through, but why the hell are we wasting players like Mkhi, Martial, and Carrick in cup competitions? We are clearly much better with them in the side. So frustrating.

Great fun. Miki, Rooney, Valencia all brilliant.

Now can Mourinho please NOT drop Miki and Martial? They should start at Everton instead of Lingard and Rashford. Though I don't mind Rashford - as a striker.

I think it's blatantly obvious that, based entirely on tonights worldy performance, that we, Manchester United, are going to win the league.

It has all become clear to me now.

Another fun match! I can't believe how many times we've scored 4(+) goals this season. Probably more than in LvG's entire tenure.

See... scoring goals is dead easy... and fun!

Seriously, they're the type of chances we need to create when we struggle to score. Cutting it across goal for simple finishes.

Great night overall, best I've seen Rooney and Zlatan play for ages.

All round excellent performance and a result that reflects it. Valencia did superbly to work that pass for the second goal and laid it off perfectly for the third. Fast, fluent, creative. We should fear no one with performances like that.

We've played like this a few times, just more clinical now. Responded brilliantly to the setback of their equalizer.

Really enjoyed that.

West Ham posed no problems, De Gea's balls-up aside.

We looked very convincing going forward.

Optimistic about going on a run after that to be honest. We were on top of them for most of the game, bar maybe 10 minutes. Mata for Rooney and that's our best front 4.

Should have been 10-1... :o

A convincing win - Check
Mikhitaryan - Check
Rooney feat the fire - Check
Martial is real - Check

Bonus point:

Good performance. Rooney looks like he has his mojo back. Mkhi T, what a player.

Jose, please start with this team on Sunday, with Pogba replacing the suspended Rooney and Blind for Shaw.

Micky was very good. As was Ibra. Need to be more clinical though.

Sods law that we rack the goals up when in effect they don't count for any bigger picture!

However, delighted with that. That's what we should have had results wise in at least 3 of those 4 home draws!
Hope it's the start of something.
Seems to be a strange mental block where we can smash the goals in the cups, but not in the league, even when playing the same, or worse opponents!

The speed of Martial and Mkhitaryan is badly needed every game.

Didn't think Jones was great. Misplaced far too many passes (I counted 4, 3 of which led to chances)

Forward play was superb. Mhiki :drool:
