I thought he did brilliantly today. Grew into the game and played like an experienced midfielder. Really hope we see him and Matic start next week with Pogba in front of them.

Same he was head and shoulders above anything Herrera has done this season so composed.

Led by 6, trailed by 1, won by 2, bloody hell, it was a nail biter.

Rugby is one sport I've never gotten into.

Players have a week off now so the likes of Matic will get some badly needed down time.

Best result for us tomorrow a LFC win?

2 lads making an honest challenge for the ball

Yer man has no intention of getting the ball. He is lost, with his back to the incoming ball, and his reaction is to leap into McTominay with a leading knee and elbow.

I just can't take you seriously about this.

Anyways, Fellaini under went a successful operation this morning.

UNITED CONFIRM FELLAINI OPERATION
Marouane Fellaini faces a spell on the sidelines after undergoing a knee operation on Saturday morning to cure a knee problem.

The Belgian was withdrawn at Wembley against Tottenham after only seven minutes on the pitch as a substitute and missed the 2-0 win over Huddersfield Town.

The surgery took place on the 30-year-old's left knee to remove a displaced fragment of lateral meniscus. The procedure was straightforward and he can start rehabilitation immediately. The club expects him to return within six weeks.

Speaking earlier at his post-match press conference, manager Jose Mourinho confirmed he must plan without the midfielder, and suggested there is no threat to his hopes of playing at the World Cup finals.

He had surgery this morning, I don't want to be very specific. I prefer the doctor give you some information officially that we can put on our website. But it is not the end of the season. Not at all.

It's a small intervention in his external meniscus and I want to believe that, by the end of the March, he can be back. If he is back by the end of March, I hope we have a big April and a big May and we are still to play in more than one competition.

Fellaini joins Eric Bailly and Zlatan Ibrahimovic on the list of absentees although both are making progress in terms of their fitness.

Fook Liverpool. Hope they get smashed. We just have to take care of our business.
But Spurs being Spurs will probably bottle it again in a big away game anyway.

I wouldn't be a massive rugby fan but k live watchinģ the Irish team such a contrast in passion and emotions compared to the soccer team.


In regards tomorrow I'd prefer a draw and if not that a spurs win. I know matematiacally a spurs loss is best but I don't care.

Right, just like they dealt with Jan Vertonghen retrospectively for his off-the-ball headlock on Herrera?

When's Bailly back and what's the story with ur man who sounds like a bottle of wine

Love the rugby myself. Used to watch the five nations with my late father for years every year. Since then have lost my mother at the end of 2016 and my sister last August, both who lived in the family home. Am sitting here in the family house after watching a Utd win and watching the rugby thinking of my Dad with a “for sale” sign outside the house.

Sorry for going OT but seeing that kick from Sexton go over just brought it all home.

God damn Jose.

DiMarzio tweeted a link earlier which has since been deleted and it outlined the true events of last Wednesday night...

- Fellaini made a mistake and Jose hooked him.

- When Fellaini came off, Jose told him "It is okay, you are injured, we will tell them that is what happened. Go to the dressing room now."

- Fellaini responded with "But boss, I am not injured and will not tell a lie. Fúck this, I should have went to Besiktas. Maybe there is still time."

- After the match while the players were awaiting Jose in the locker room, Fellaini was on his phone checking the price of Bitcoin.

- Jose entered the room and saw Fellaini with the phone in hand. He made a beeline for the unaware Fellaini, ignoring Lingard who asked him to pose for a selfie, and produced an extendable metal rod and struck Fellaini in the side of the knee. Having watched and enjoyed 'I, Tonya' recently, the idea was fresh in Jose's mind.

- Looking down at the fallen Belgian, Jose just said "Now you are injured. Would you like to tell them, or I, Jose?"

I'll try to dig out the link.

I was responding to the footage that you were using to justify "two honest lads". Now you are moving on to freeze-frame footage. I have absolutely no interest in going down the 'Where did those goalposts go?' rabbit-hole with you.

it has actually improve a lot, remember the days of gary and phil neville taking turns to take reyes out of the game. maybe its just the fact we played huddersfield today and yeovil the other week and they kicked lumps out of our players and its expected to be honest and if it was the other way around we would do the very same

Are you serious in the United thread trying to say Reyes was a superior player to Gary Neville? Have a word with yourself

Draw, followed by a Pool win.

I hate Pool but I'd rather put as much space between us and Spurs if possible, to keep top four more solid.

reyes was a skillful attacking player and one of arsenals best players at that time.

neville was all heart, little skill

they took turns doing bad challenges on him

That's my thoughts on it too.

I don't ever ever ever envisage a scenario where I would hope for a Liverpool victory. Too many years of "this year is our year ye are mck" has ruined that for me

4 goals and 2 assists for Lukaku in his last six games.

The thing that really struck me today was the first decent ball that got played into him, he buried.

We've got some great technical players; Mata, Lingard and Sanchez' interplay was awesome to watch. But there was a lack of actually playing a killer pass. We don't have anyone who tries to whip in deadly crosses. We try the odd aimless hoof, but I mean a proper fizzing ball. Hopefully as they gel, and as Pogba recovers from the bad game, Lukaku will get more chances...
