Is that Zac Dearnley in the team? I thought he was 15?

Was looking forward to see Doughty playing. Does anyone know what's the deal with him?

Schmeichelesque shit from Henderson there. Simple but effective.

What a throw from Henderson :eek:
The pace shown by Rashford was superb too. Not a penalty though. Defender clearly got the ball first.

The football from both sides has been very sloppy really. If they score, it'll probably be from a set piece, we're not clearing the ball well from corners. If we score again, it'll be from another break, Rashford looks really dangerous out there on his own.

We need to get Gribbin into play more, but they've clearly identified him as a dangerman and he's being very closely marked.

Great play by Gribbin there to setup Williams, almost caught out on the counter after that though

McTominay looks great when in possession and under pressure. One of the few players on the pitch who hasn't been sloppy

He's got some beautiful clean tackles in his locker too. Waits, waits, then just scoops the ball away from his opponent.

Must have been years since the last time I watch McTominay playing footballl and he shown why he's still at United.

My memory of McTominay from last year is of a small slightly built fella. Not anymore. Doing well.

Not the classiest half of football but there's a certain intensity to the game. Rashford's been a cut above, he seems much more comfortable with his taller physique now, as well as his position. A proper modern striker in the making.

Hopefully Wolfsburg's full-court press might ease off a little later in the game and there'll be a bit more space for us.

Poor save from Henderson really, not much on the initial shot and he put it right back into the mix instead of out wide.

Gribbin's making no effort to get involved at all, very disappointing today so far.

Good play from Redmond and Dearnley though there, keeping Wolfsburg on their toes.
