They are saying we are guaranteed to reach Wembley now because we got Hull.
Tricky enough tie I think but should Be winning it.

Rooney must be really disappointed as his booking means he misses the Everton game.

Terrific performance. Just goes to show them early goals we've conceded recently have been killing us with teams happy to sit back and let us come at them.

Rooney was on another planet tonight. I'm sick he can't play against Everton. Mkhitaryan has to start on Sunday.

Just for Mick

I swear Jones did that on purpose the fecking edjit.

Valencia and Miki worked well together on the right I thought. Basti looked so happy while coming on, shame that shot didn't bend a little more, crowd would have went nuts.

Enjoyed that episode of Man United. Hope the Liverpool lads enjoyed it as much, some were quite invested in it when I flicked in to the match thread

There's a lad there atm that thinks Mourinho and Neville are one person. He's confusing me his posts are so random.

Phil Jones does stuff that is a bit crazy.

Please stay injury free...

Great performance tonight,all action stuff


Lets hope for a very good December

Highly enjoyable match, made sweeter by the formation of the Redemption Gang - Mkhitaryan, Martial, Rooney and.....Schweinsteiger!?! Happy for them all, but especially Martial and Schweini.

Jose gave Schweinsteiger a one in a million chance that he would ever play for United again. Bastian said "fair enough", took those odds and went and trained his bollix off reportedly, to the point that he made it onto the field tonight and was effective. Great for Bastian, also the team since he was instrumental in the creation of that 4th goal. Great example for the entire squad though - No matter what the manager previously said, if you put the work in and show that you are deserving of a place, you will get your chance. Jose has also shown that hard work in training can't be ignored with the likes of Mkhitaryan and Rooney making it back onto the field, and back into form.

That break on the sidelines, that beard, that wedding, something has reignited the fire in Rooney. He is coming along nicely these last few games with each appearance bringing him on that bit more. Jose is going to have the good sort of headache in trying to choose from some of these firing attacking players - Mata, Mkhi, Rooney, now Martial thankfully making a claim once again. With Ibra winning the battle in the search for his touch in front of goal, it is important that he remains at the head of whatever attack, for now.

Very promising stuff, desperately need 3 points this Sunday though.

Rayne Wooney

If we can put them away like that consistently we'll be a force again.

If being the pivotal word.

I cant understand how there isnt more love for zlatan in this thread.

Ye are such a good team to watch this season compared to the last few and a lot of it is down to him. Most of the good stuff ye play comes off him and his strength and touch.

It seems some people would prefer a welbeck/workhorse player who charges around full of energy but without hald the class of ibra.

He has 11 goals, and if he had a bit more luck or goalkeepers weren't on fire hed have 15/16 before the start of December which would be a goal a game. Some things have definitely gone wrong at United so far but zlatan isnt one of them. Pure class

He's well loved here but he missed a heap of great chances in the league recently that's cost us points.

I dont agree I think he has gained us points but the thing we have to remember is a lesser player may not of even been in a position to have a chance rooney was so bad at one stage he couldn't even get into the box.

Like Zlatan said himself he has scored more then 450 goals if he keeps getting into them positions he will eventually score more often then not.

Jayop

Ah yeah, in general he's been brilliant for us. Looks like the young players are all really in awe of him too. Just that he's got a bit of criticism lately because the misses hurt.

What changes to that team now for weekend???

Mata for Rooney, Pogba for Ander :eek:

Pogba for Carrick I reckon.

Is there any chance Schweinsteiger forces his way back in here or are they just putting him in the shop window for January?

I'd imagine a journalist will ask Jose that question

Will miss the bastian twitter updates though, they've been fun

Tbf Mata had a poor enough game the weekend so the only change I would make would bring in Pogba for Rooney since Rooney is out for it. Oh and Blind for Shaw

Richard Hillman

I don't know how Mourinho cam justify putting Pogba in the team this weekend.

I'd go

Martial - Zlats - Mkhitaryan
-Mata-
Carrick - Herrera

Because pogba is world class and has been playing very well last few weeks getting better every game

Id have pogba in that team all day long he was one of our better players for past few week. What did ander do last night to be an auto selection that pogba doesn't do? I didn't think he was anyway standout at all apart from his running and a few basic passes.

Herrera did provide an assist but yes Pogba all day long

The Manchester derby tie will be switched if we get past Hull in the league cup.

Any general idea of when it would be re fixed for?

Flint Fredstone

Pogba has been class of late as has Mata bar a quiet enough game on Sunday. Both start for me every time.

Hopefully Lingard doesn't get near the first 11 for a while, he's provided nothing of note lately besides his dabbing celebrations.

Yep, and now he's out for six weeks with whiplash

Always space for jessie in the team he is prone to brsinfarts but he is also a big game player he is handy coming off the bench he don't need to start games to pull something out of bag.

Mars Bar

Keep Jesse for the Wembley games. He loves a goal at Wembley.

Cantona's Collars

Rooney to remain England captain,it must be the beard.

Bearded Rooney > Shaven Rooney.

Jesus I can't understand why people have been having a moan at Zlatan. Our interplay and exchange is significantly better with him in the team. Guy is a class act. 11 goals to date that's a great return. He's well on track for 20 plus a season which is a great return.

We looked good last night. Martial had some nice dribbling. Hopefully those 2 goals give him some confidence back.


I've been on Rooneys back but it looks like he time out of the time has made him hungrier. He was class tonight.

Miki looked great.

Enjoying our football again.

Thank you Jose

I love ander, I think we all do but his biggest deficiency was there for all to see last night again. People can drift past him with the ball and it happens regularly every game. If he had half the positioning of Carrick he'd be a top player.

Hococop

Was he captain last night? a lot of people (myself included) said when he got the armband he lost his fire and aggression good to see it back

impossible to tell, depends on city and our progress in the fa cup and CL/EL too.

Korat

The kick in the face seemed to inspire Rooney. Maybe Jose could throw a boot at him, from a safe distance, before every game in future.

Although the FA would probably charge them both for something like that.

Goes to show how good people expect him to be 11 goals by November and people think it's a poor return
