Promising start but was worried about the sideways/backwards passing at the beginning. Hopefully Jose will drill that out of them. Think there may be a bit of a cull on the cards though.

Based on the first 19 minutes, which by caf standards is quite much, I say Mkhitaryan should play behind the striker, not on the wing.

Been impressed with TFM so far - he seems to have an excellent eye for a pass.

Please get a new Mourinho chant!
When I was a kid the old United website used to have a chants section with songs for each players. I always remember that poor old Fabien Barthez just had:

Fabien Barthez - Fabien Barthez - Fabien Barthez - Fabien Barthez
Fabien Barthez - Fabien Barthez - Fabien Barthez - Fabien Barthez
Fabien Barthez - Fabien Barthez - Fabien Barthez - Fabien Barthez
Fabien Barthez - Fabien Barthez - Fabien Barthez - Fabien Barthez

I thought it was really funny at the time. Hopefully we can do better for Jose

These tackles are a bit heavy so far

Like the speed we are playing at.

Mkhitaryan's movement and overall quality is standing out

Lovely high press, forcing error from opposition and winning the ball back pronto :drool:

Mhki looking sharp. Great to see Shaw on the ball so much also. Slight change of mentality up front as well where we have a few options running into the box. Leads to quicker play

Memphis wilson and herrera have been underwhelming.

I really hate how herrera loves playing it short.

I think Mourinho will really like Lingard. He seems a player most managers love. Works hard, gets into great positions and can play in several positions. If he can improve his final ball/finishing he'll be fantastic.

Wilson has done alright. Held the ball when he's got it which hasn't been much.

Mensah needs to stop drifting out of position though.

This ref is letting a lot go in this game from Wigan.

I dunno he's 24 now, still I like him and there's a place in the squad for him for sure.
