Owen Coyle on 'glamour tie' against Manchester United:

“It doesn't come much bigger than Manchester United.

“I think it's an exciting game for everybody to look forward to when it comes about and hopefully it will really whet the appetite of the fans, coming up against such an elite club in a glamour tie.”

Mourinho won't allow United to take foot off the gas:

“We cannot choose the competitions at Manchester United. We know that our situation is really complicated.

“We know that the Europa League is also a competition where we play on Thursdays and that makes it even more difficult for us.

“We will go seriously [against St Etienne] and seriously against Blackburn on Sunday.”

Rashford up top
Nice one

Chancer3001

Predicting blackburn to give a very very good account of themselves today

Great walk-out music \ii/

Lingard needs to get out wide
Clogging up central midfield

Great goal to be fair

Johner

They've started well.

HalloweenJack

Emnes having a very good game, did brilliantly in the build-up.

Unreal goal.

ScummyMan

That's an excellent goal. Smalling daydreaming

RobertKK

Good goal, should liven up this thread.

He's one of those players that can just turn into a world beater for one game and be ****e for the next 20.

Andersonisgod

Mourinho clapping the goal, probably not clapping his back four which was far from convincing.

Cantona's Collars

That might wake Smalling up.Asleep for Graham's run.

Some goal tbf

S.M.B.

Hmmmm, any time I see Emnes play I'm impressed. That was a cracking bit of play from him.

Should make things interesting.

GreNoLi

Deserved applause for that goal from Mourinho.

Trigger

It's mental how a team can struggle and be shocking in the championship and then apply themselves like this once they are playing a Premiership team.. why can't they do it week in week out..

GreNoLi

Lingard isn't good enough for blackburn let alone united.

S.M.B.

Herrera hits a shot on target!!!!

No pressure on them today, not much expected of them and so nothing to lose.

Friday night away to Burton will be a totally different story.

He's occupying space miki Ryan should be in
Too much going to out wide to young
Nothing going to martial on the left either

Glorious pass

Equilibrium restored.

Sublime ball from Mkhi.

Cantona's Collars

Micky just glides around the pitch,the touch and the pass were sublime.

Johner

Terrible defending.

GreNoLi

Some ball, nice finish, Mikhtarian should always play centrally.

Such an exciting player is our miki

Could have something to do with it being surprising to see the team 2nd bottom in the Championship open up the defence of the most expensive squad in the history of football, somewhat less surprising the other way around.

Don't think I've seen one person talking sh1t in this thread....

Insanely good pass by mikhi

Blackburn look dodgy from set pieces

duffman13

Oul Jesse Lingard hasn't started well at all, needs to get his finger out. If not get Shaw on second half and put Darmian on the right and Young on the wing.

Few Irish lads in that Blackburn team too although I don't know if this Williams chap has ever played football before

It was horrendously obvious what was happening with that free

S.M.B.

Nice tracking back by Myhki there. Important tackle.

brinty

Why's martial so wide left and no ball going out to him
