Brilliant vision from Rooney. A volleyed knee-pass to set up Ibrahimovic.

This Europa League craic would drain the energy from you watching it

Mourinho been a dick before a ball even kicked. Humiliating a staff member for all the world to see for not printing out something.

Also midfield awful tonight, slow, poor on and off the ball, I wonder who's playing in there....

Il give you this one. Fellaini didn't do enough to bring the ball forward IMO tonight

Woeful pass from Rooney, should have been 2-0.

If we play like this in the latter stages of a European competition we'd be stuffed.

Might be hard to get motivated for a game like this all the same.

I posted a number of times about how I was in favour of dropping him for that game. Everyone on the team did sfa in the 2nd half of that match.

Ha ha loved Ashley Youngs casual "leave it bro" that he says to Ibra and she the mic picked it up

I did have to back this shower of shít to win -1, didn't I?

Oh right it suits you to suggest he shouldn't have been 'dropped' for just this game then because he came on and sliced a shot:o

Rashford 2+ goals myself, we broke the team.

Fellani and Lingard just not good enough for Manchester United and never will be. Hopefully they will not be started in the league games

Rooney touch and passing was poor again to night when he came on

I'm sure someone will be along to tell you he wasn't so I'm out of here. G'night lads. 3 points on the board is about all that was good tonight.

3 points and the final whistle

Liam McPoyle

Ugly, ugly win but a win nonetheless.

We look much flatter with Fell in.

Ander should have a starting berth pretty much guaranteed.

Good to see Tony M back, looked fairly sharp when he came in.

Rashford had lots of hustle and was a constant headache for the Ukrainians.

Important win, I'd happily take a similar one on Sunday.

We need some serious bucking up or the scouse will take us apart on Monday week.

Someone said this morning that they think certain people love Rooney more than United. I swear a load of you hate Rooney more than you love United. Game won and he only played a few minutes yet yer still at it. He's been dropped, he is out of the starting side for the foreseeable, can ye pick a new subject?

Quandary

Herrera badly missed in the middle tonight. I thought Mata was very good again, Jose hopefully just taking him off for Sunday. Some very nice play starting to develop between Pogba, Mata and Ibra. Add Herrera into that mix and given a run of games together I can only see them getting better.

A lot of negatives from tonight though. Fellaini was poor as were Lingard and Rojo. Utd looked fragile at the back. Very little structured protection in front of the centre halves. Carrick would probably have been a better partner for Pogba.

Still though, a win is a win.

Difficult to know if a message is being tongue in cheek or it's a poster being an absolute idiot, glad you cleared that up.

I think a lot of us are worried that this bit of luck with that assist means he is back in the starting line up again. I just hope Jose won't bow to pressure to the Rooney brigade when they start saying how great he was tonight (look at Savage).

I want the club to move forward without the ball and chain that has been the old guard who are now past their sell by date.

Really. What makes you think he is out for the forseeable

Childish name calling over the internet, that's impressive for a grown man.

Yes the team should have taken their chances, the match was mostly boring, but Zorya were incredibly disciplined with their shape and I'd say even Jose was in admiration of that bus. One of those 'a win is a win' sort of nights, terrible to look at on the field but makes for better viewing on the group table.

Rooney did well when he came on, and that's forgetting his 'assist'. Had Ibra not been there to mop up the spill of the ball, some might be lamenting Rooney missing our second best chance of the game after a lovely move. In fairness to Rooney though, it was literally his first touch of the ball. Fair play to Zlatan, very similar to his salvaged header vs Bournemouth after a Martial mis-hit. Players will mis-hit from time to time and so far in a relatively short span of games, Zlatan has turned two of them into goals.

Zorya, a team on paper that this United side should be scoring a few against, but the reality didn't turn out that way. I'm not overly worried though once the points were picked up. European games are never what they seem on paper, as we should unfortunately know from recent United history.

Anyway, would like to see Herrera come in for Fellaini at the weekend.

That should be a given and hopefully Martial for Lingard

To be fair to him the ball back from Fosu-Mensah was very poor. I think most people including Rooney expected that pass along the ground for him to stroke it home, not hit at pace at knee height.

Herrera will start 99.99% this weekend.

Aaah in fairness poor Rooney he done fantastic to get any sort of a touch on it.... and the ball he put out of play when it was simpler to pass well the bloody grounds man should gave put the touchline half way up the stand and it would have stayed in play....
Poor Auld Wayne its never his fault

Serious pace to the side then.

Would love to see us hit Stoke on the counter.
Zlatan dropping deep for the ball around the middle of the park with Rash and Martial speeding past the backline looking to be fed the ball for a clear run at goal.
Not sure if it will be that type of game against Stoke though they will probably sit back.

If Mikateryan can find the form he showed in Germany and have him with Pogba and Herrera in the middle of the park then we would have have great pace in the team

You're right, how can any striker on 300k a week get good contact on that kind of ball?

Drop Mensah
