He could clearly see he was offside and would not step back.

On last replay looked like it was going in

On second look goal was onside
Hit the defender then Pogba tapped it in
Poor decision

It was going to hit the post or go wide, pure instinct to get a toe to it, anyone else would have done the same.

Lazy to be offside in the first place

Probably, but I'd be surprised if they didn't get top 4. Lacking that quality to be competing with City

So predictable from them. It's like a beacon shines in the sky calling them.

Jose’s post match comments
“We need more money”

Utd are going to find it tough to shake of the negative mentality surrounding the club after this.

martyos121

Well in fairness it turns out Jose was right about something for a change, he really does need another £300m to spend. :pac:

Johner

Great result.

niallo27

Boos at full time. Very surprised with that.

you have to admit, its car crash tv, jose and utd, bobby charlton was right

Jose really is starting to look like a broken man looking at him walking off.

Hard lines when you can’t even beat the Liverpool B team lads.

Since you love that joke so much.

Mourinho is a busted flush.

Surprised at the boos at the end.

Who or what will Mourinho blame for this result I wonder?

Excellent display from the Saints

Referee and Officials, fixture lists, the squirrel on the pitch, the players and City's money.

If you saw a lad coming out of the pub looking like that, you'd call him 'shook.'

Not really, we only played with some urgency in the last 5 mins.

Some serious issues at the club, players out of form and lacking ideas to break down a poor Saints team.

Stylish United set out their stall
Manchester United might have won the Europa League and League Cup in Mourinho's debut season at Old Trafford, but Red Devils supporters will be expecting, if not demanding, a serious title challenge after a less-than-adequate sixth-placed finish last term.

Mourinho spent almost £150m on Everton striker Lukaku, Chelsea midfielder Nemanja Matic and Benfica defender Victor Lindelof this summer in a bid to achieve it.

Although Mourinho's new-look side were outclassed by Real Madrid in Tuesday's Super Cup defeat, solace could be taken that the European champions contained a level of quality unlikely to be seen in the Premier League this season - and certainly not from their opening opponents.

United's striking future outshines its past
The opening weekend provided a tale of two strikers at Old Trafford: one a familiar face looking to haunt some old friends, the other a new arrival seeking to make an instant impression.

New Hammers signing Javier Hernandez received a warm welcome on his first return to the club where he made his name, but saw his appearance overshadowed by the latest man charged with firing the Red Devils to success.

Lukaku, who opened his account in Tuesday's defeat by Madrid, impressed throughout with his strong running, physical presence and link-up play.

But his two goals were what really caught the eye.

In truth, it seemed almost inevitable that the Belgian would find the net against the Hammers, having scored in nine of his 10 games against them while at Everton.

The 24-year-old eased any growing twitchiness - as United dominated the opening half an hour without testing Joe Hart - by smashing in the opener, then gave them valuable breathing space with a predatory header.

He had a chance to complete his hat-trick too, only to see Pablo Zabaleta block his goalbound shot with a sliding tackle and then blaze a rising effort over.

"When you play for Manchester United, you have a job to do and mine is to score goals. It is promising," said the former Everton and Chelsea striker.

Mourinho looks to be in trouble with this team, it's usually next season it all starts to unravel but seems to have come early with United

Agent Coulson

Jose will blame this on Klopp spending £75m.

The fight for City's scraps in 2nd, 3rd and 4th got interesting very quickly over the Christmas period.

Utd dropping 6 points in the lest few games is going to open the door to those around them to catch them and I'm not sure if Jose has conceded the league but Conte has 2 or 3 games ago.

I still think Utd will be well in the top 4 come May but it's the only drama left in the top of the league is who finishes 2nd - 4th.

The boos at the end are a worry though. Too many draws in games that Utd should have probably won on paper comfortably.

The ball boys are surely due a bollicking at this stage, he might threaten to get Raiola to bring in a few of his own.

His arrogance and trolling was endearingly cheeky in the past, but he seems absolutely joyless and grumpy for the last while. Not likeable at all, doesn't help when trying to rally a team.

He has conceded the league. His comments in the media the past week have effectively told everyone that. He’s given his players all the excuses they have needed.

Ah it's the ref's fault!

so Southampton leave out their 70 million defender and get a clean sheet?

United are in serious trouble now, 3 draws on the bounce.

United is a mountain too big to climb for Jose.

He won’t get a contract renewal.

Hope Lukaku is ok. Head injury is something close to the heart. Quicker there is news about it the better

Fear of failure.
