Pogba takes on Pogba

Mitch Connor

I hope United win well and Paul Pogba has a good game just so I don't have to put up with "Ha, ye signed the wrong brother" crap tomorrow.

Stroll in the park time for United.

These lads are 5th in L1

Get it done and have no worries for the second leg, should be a comfortable win, by three goals plus.

jayo26

3-0 united and pogba to score an own goal.

Premier League sides haven't fared well against Ligue 1 sides in Europe this season. Quite the opposite as PSG and Monaco outplayed Arsenal and Spurs respectively. And Saint-Etienne don't tend to be a stroll in the park for any side. They've the second best defensive record in the division and and only conceded one goal more than PSG (plus they got a 1-1 draw away to PSG earlier in the season too). They've a very good defender in Loic Perrin and probably the best keeper in Ligue 1 in Stephane Ruffier. Also it's not as if United have been great at picking apart well organised defences this season.

I'd like a comfortable United win but I think that would take a really stellar performance, or a really bad off-day from Saint-Etienne. I'm expecting a frustrating night for United but maybe a bit of magic or two to get over the line.

Ibra Mata and Pogba to score in no particular order 4-0

By all accounts these lads are supposed to be very solid defensively , will go 2-0 but 1-0 wouldn't surprise me.

LuckyGent88

St. Etienne fans gone a bit mad with the flares. Cracking atmosphere

duffman13

This should be a tight game but looking forward to it. Perrin is supposed to be very good, be nice to see him and how we fair again in Europe.

Fecking smoke...

Trigger

Jaysus!

Bailly went asleep there.

A Dub in Glasgo

Bailly just as poor as the stewards searching the fans for flares

Andersonisgod

Bailly having quite the start.

jayo26

Defense is asleep. Not the keeper's fault but de gea should be playing tonight why split up the back 5 they all know what each other is doing.

Maximus Alexander

Did they have a few drinks in the dressing room beforehand?

Maybe that smoke is not from flares it could be coming from the dressing room.

Lovely Bloke

that ball from Herrera

Liam McPoyle

Ander has made 3 or 4 vital tackles already for us, such an important player. Brilliant work rate.

Andersonisgod

Well that's a dive.

LuckyGent88

Will take that jammy goal

Lovely Bloke

Mr.Nice Guy

Jammy but we'll take it.

jayo26

Sure was absolute brilliant technique to make it look so real.

Only Ibra could stand there like Cantona after scruffing that in the middle of the goal

I'd suggest it's a skill that's been well honed through experience.

I think Pogbas oul dear has a half and half jersey on aswell

A Dub in Glasgo

That was more a foul than the one given to Ibra

Mr.Nice Guy

I think that should have been a peno but looked like the ref's view was obstructed.

How about I watch the match, comment on it occasionally and just not respond to Man Utds Boards so we avoid this nonsense?

That's what I'll do.

A Dub in Glasgo

Great save, should have been a corner

Lovely Bloke

ah what a chance

LuckyGent88

Pity it was straight at the keeper. Had so much time too to take it down.
