Notthing to complain about in this game. Good assist. Good control & good play from Fellaini too.

They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

Thought he played well last night tbh.
The assist was good and he bullied the Rostov defence.. Gutted he is banned for the next 3 domestic games.

I'm actually glad he's got this ban. He desperately needs a break.
Anyone else think his assist was brushed over in the BT Sport footage!?
The way he kept the ball in play with his left and squared it to Mkhitaryan with the outside of his right in a heartbeat. Reminded me of a certain other touchline incident a few years back

Yeah, that's true.
My god that is actually the first time I have rewatched it and it is absolutely sumptuous.
Sorry @Adebesi the gif is Berbatov against Weat Ham a few years back, not the Zlatan one, can't find a gif for it.
Ah yes don't know how that one got past me. You're right tho, they are similar.
Its so dissapointing that he forgot his shooting boots in France. He could've torn this league apart in a unique manner. Him and Pogba have really let this season slip. i hope the same doesn't happen next season.
That's the thing with both Zlatan and Pogba. Both have had good seasons, but they could have both been so much more. They are two world class individuals that are still some of the best in the league in their position without having necessarily been at the top of their game.
The good thing is that if Zlatan and Pogba continue this season and start the next in the same manner, the variance in their taking of chances is bound to swing in our favour at some point and when it does we'll be laughing.

Man Utd 1:0 Rostov
Twice he had Mikhi open in a good position to score and both times he didn't pass the ball, it's so annoying when he is selfish like that.
Will Mourinho ever man up and tell him to let someone else take them free kicks?

Yeah, it happened today.
Turns out Pogba is even worse with them free kicks. Que Mikhi next!Yeah, it happened today.
He gives away possession, he's selfish, wasteful in front of goal, doesn't track back and makes us look static up front. But he'll probably get on the end of something and take the headlines. I really hope he doesn't get another year.....
Also had our best chance with a shot no other striker of us would have been able to pull off.
Shit again. I don't care if he's out top scorer, his general play is more often than not nowhere near good enough. I'm sure I read a stat a while ago that said he covered most distance than most. Not sure how, he hardly ever seems to run
Yeah he can be frustrating that's for sure. I feel kind of ill saying that considering he has scored 26 goals for us so far.
Anyway, if we were to have an adequate replacement for him, I wouldn't be averse to him going.
He's a fantastic player, but I said it before and I will say it again- we will be a better team when he leaves in my opinion. Not solely because of his absence, but definitely that will play a part in it.
On the 80% of our crosses there's only Mata and Mikhi in the opposition box, Zlatan's too busy strolling around outside the box. Why do we even bother crossing the ball in if he's not gonna challenge those headers?
?
He should have passed it to Mkhi few seconds earlier. And that wasn't really some extraordinary shot anyway.
He's had some nice moments but bloody hell he's strolled around tonight. Can still see him getting a goal though.
He had Mikhi all alone on the other side, he could have passed it to him, Mikhi was in a much better position.
His age is starting to show, bound to happen sometime. Still a very good player but we need better.
Yeah, I agree with this.
It's been nice having him for a season, but some pace up there is needed.
Yup. There's no pace at all. Won't be sad if he doesn't renew. I am happy he has proved many including me wrong with the amount of goals scored, but it looks like we might get better without him in the side and have Martial and Rashford up front.
I'm sure a younger player wouldn't have hit the post.
Maybe a younger player would have passed the ball to Mikhi who was all alone on the other post.
Spot on.
Yeah sure. Its definitely age related. What a steaming load of BS.
Same like hitting post is.
I didn't say that, learn to read.
I said when he leaves we will be better. I think he will leave after next season, by which time Mkhitaryan and Pogba will be fully settled in, Rashford and Martial will have probably improved and some of our new signings will have also settled in. Our front line will be more mobile too, which will definitely help.
That's a lot of assuming but we definitely must improve because Zlatan can't be in more than one place on the pitch and we don't have an equal sub.
Fantastic flick.
There is no chance that you're gonna claim he meant that Raoul 
Looked completely deliberate imo.There is no chance that you're gonna claim he meant that Raoul
Tries to score with one of his stupid flicks and gets an assist. Sums up his seaosn really.
People are still bitching about us having him? *groan*
I fecking hate this forum at times.

Are you really saying that touch was deliberate assist?
