Started very slow but improved a bit as the half went on

Have to keep moving the ball quick

Bizarre. Refs should be perfectly consistent in how they apply the rules from the 1st minute to the 91st. That's one of the problems with the game, the rules aren't enforced to the letter, and they ought to be. That's how games work. If the laws as they're laid out don't provide for a good sport, then you change them. The referees shouldn't be making it up as they go along.

The laws of the game are really badly designed though. In a properly run sport we'd just fix the rules, but that's not going to happen. So unfortunately the only option left is for the referees to try to fix it themselves.

Utd reverting back to type unfortunately for most of that half. Slow enougH build up with very few efforts on goal.

Lovely finish from Martial. Love watching him.

Getting outfought by Sunderland. They have more tempo to their game, both with and without the ball. If Utd can up their tempo they can easily win this game. If they don't they could easily lose it.

Not hyperbole at all, United were indeed woeful for most of that half.

No they weren't

Second half on the other hand...

You cant argue with that, its totally deserved

Turgid rubbish.

GSPfan

Instant reaction - Sack Van Gaal now and give Giggs the job. Ughh.

Flat flat performance today

StringerBell

Ugh

JaMarcusHustle

We were much better before Depay came on and Martial was moved out right.

Rayne Wooney

Get rid of him and his brainless philosophy, take Depay with him

there is so much wrong at this club

Liam McPoyle

You can almost hear the usual suspects tripping over themselves to post again in the match thread.

That decision has me baffled

You can fool some people sometimes, but ya can't fool all the people all the time

Liam McPoyle

I really don't understand how we can go from dominating like we did in previous games to this awful crap.

Season is a write off, LVG has to go before the Euro's.

Utterly spineless, utterly bland, utterly shyte.

Headshot

Any other big club in Europe would of sacked LVG by now but yet again he is going to escape with his job intact after this match

Adamocovic

Poor result and wasted chance to close the gap on the top 4. Cant see us getting 4th place now after wasting this chance. Sunderland deserved it however, closed us down quick and played more up for it. Like many bit baffled Martial was switched to the right to accommodate Memphis, the left had been our best source of attack during the first half.

Kerrydude1981

Giggs looks more pissed off then LVG

GSPfan

At this stage the top 4 is gone so im hoping for a succession of losses to nail his coffin shut.

hufpc8w3adnk65

I don't even want us too equalize if it means he's staying! Just go get Jose now

titan18

Nice to see the 2 game bounce is gone

Rossi IRL

LVG out

Kerrydude1981

So on the 13th of February Utds league campaign is now a dead rubber

glued

It'll be interesting to see what happens after this game. How long can you keep this group together assuming that LVG will be able to get it right? We've been shocking. LVG has had a great career but it just hasn't worked out at United. Really disappointing season and I can't see how we can qualify for the CL at this stage. It's time to start looking for a new manager.

J. Marston

I really do hate Sunderland.

Nothing to play for in the league so I'm just support whoever is playing Arsenal and Sunderland from here on out.

Arsenal not winning the league and Sunderland being relegated is my double this season.

posturingpat

Am i allowed say top 4's gone now?:o:rolleyes:

We may as well put some effort into the Europa League now as that will be our only taste or European football until September 2017 at the very least. Longer if LVG remains at the club.

Lord TSC

Not even surprised. We drop stupid points against relegation fodder for fun. Not a single good performance there today. Really, a horrid, turgid performance.

We're going to be in a battle for 5th at this rate.

madcabbage

The fact were still in the FA cup and Europa will keep LVG in this job, should have been ousted at Christmas, can't see it happening now to be honest.

Ordinary man

What has happened to schnederlin this season? Last year with southampton he looked a class act, now he has no mobility, no range of passing and is anonymous for most of the time. Fellaini at least puts himself about

deaddonkey15

There is not one good reason for LVG to remain United manager any longer. He is so utterly incompetent it is truly shocking and he is a very fortunate man to have even lasted this long.

LVG out and Mourinho in before next weekend please. There's no point in holding it off any longer.

FutureGuy

anyone got any burning tractor gifs?

StringerBell

Martial to the right has not been a problem any other time he has shifted there (you know, as United attacking play goes) Memphis..... I dunno, I just can't wait for the season to end at this point. So demoralising week in week out.

Your sounding like a fan of another club here!

sky88

Id put everything to the europa league. The league is over at this rate

Dreadful stuff all round today except martial

sReq | uTeK

Top 4 gone now. LVG is a ****ing joke.....

Quandary

Get LVG out and give Mourinho a chance to try and salvage top 4.

At best mourinho gets into the top 4. At worst he gets a chance to have a proper look at the squad before getting signings in during preseason.

That is of course if Mourinho wants to start now.

adox

It's just torture letting this go on.

Unearthly

Well that's that.

No champions league til August 2017 at earliest

Maximus Alexander

Fairly sick of this sh*t.

Hurler85

The board surely aren't going to put up with this s***e for much longer. He's an embarrassment and can't be defended any longer. It's obvious that he has lost the dressing room.

I know people will bring up win stats with him in the team but I think he's been awful all season.

rob316

If City and Arsenal win tomorrow, that's the Top 4 done and dusted for this season, no one catching them,

beno619

Disappointing but not exactly unexpected.

Sunderland were good and are looking to go on their annual Barcelona run.

Thought the second half was very flat and as usual LVG had no answers.

Sniederlin was very disappointing and personified the flat performance.

I had hoped to that LVG was going to limp over the line with late season form but you can't really recover from that first half of the season.

Decuc500

He has to walk. Everything is just pointless until a new manager arrives.

Mantis Toboggan

Hopefully Woodward will grow a set and make the decision he should have made 3 months ago.

I really don't understand this opinion but know it's widespread with a lot of fans, think it's a bit ridiculous myself.

Don't get the idea of hoping your team loses so the manager will be sacked for poor performances. I'd much rather we finished strongly and started hitting a winning streak and challenging for top four.

If we do bad and VG is sacked, fair enough, but I'm not going to be hoping that every week we lose so he can be sacked and someone else I like could be brought it. Theres many players who have played for United that I haven't liked but similarly I wouldn't hope they play bad so they can be sold or dropped.
