Sanchez needs to go, has only had a handful of good games since he signed.

Just about hung in there in the end. Midfield showed signs of improvement in first half. We're not getting the best out of Sanchez at all, it's something the coaches will have to keep working on.

Was happy enough with how most of the team played but Martial doesn't look interested.

Agree about Sanchez, but thought Martial offered something fresh and was a threat when he came on.

His first touch/pass was a mis-hit, but after that I thought he came into it. He looked dangerous on both the left and the right and was central to a nice move which almost saw Sanchez on the score-sheet but for a great last minute tackle.

Martial has a lot of rust on him having only gotten 60 minutes against Brighton. That was a poor, disinterested performance alright.

After the off-field drama between he and the manager, I'm just happy for now that there's a chance for him to get back into the side.

Still though, in his 4th season at the club, I need to see more than small steps. If for instance he is given a starting place on Wednesday, I'll be expecting more than a 'threat' and him just looking dangerous with his play.

If I was Jose and Ed I’d start putting wheels in motion to offload Sanchez in January.

Absolute non entity, on ridiculous money that is going to cause problems in other contract negotiations and just not doing anything.

Flog him off and make a few quid before everyone gets wise to him having lost it.

Most frustrating player I see for us without fail. We’ve actually come off horrendously from that swop deal

Think that horse has well and truly bolted now tbh. It's basically two years since he's had any kind of consistent good form. Keep in mind when we bought him the question was already is it just a blip or has he went over the cliff so to speak. Add to that now he has no incentive to leave other than personal ambition given the terms he's on because nobody else will give him that money now barring a Chinese/UAE calling.


On Pogba today, as much as I was enjoying him in the first half, as soon as Watford got on top in the second half he crumbled. The least bit of pressure and he'd concede possession.

Fellaini was good but Christ if it's not some indictment on our Summer that we have to drop a midfielder into the backline for the sole purpose of taking the ball from the goalkeeper & centre halves so that it can be moved forward. Absolute joke that you'd have to sacrifice a midfield player for sequences of play because you don't have a centre back you can rely on to play a sensible pass.

Rayne Wooney

We seem to have swapped a dud for a dud, it’s very unfortunate. We have Pogba and Sanchez on the wage bill eating up almost 30 million a year basic and not contributing anywhere near the level necessary to justify that amount.

Getting rid of both could see 200+ million in fees and 500 grand a week extra wages to play with, would we even notice them gone? Probably not. We threw away money under Van Gaal and then we seemed restricted this summer despite finishing 20 points behind City. It is vital the club get their act together with transfers and start bringing in some quality.

jaykay74

Don't see anyone taking on Sanchez at his current wage levels and why would he take a cut? So I guess he is staying unless we give him away for half nothing or continue paying a large chunk of his wages. Pogba is a different story, I think one of the big clubs will be willing to take a punt on him in terms of a decent fee and his wage demands. Sooner the better on that one from my point of view.

Martial looked to me like a fella whose heart isn't in it anymore and doesn't give a flying fook.

How Soon Is Now

The win was the main thing today and we got it. I had the game on in background so didn't see much as had family over but I got the impression once we got into a winning position we stopped playing as usual.

We have been doing this for long now you wonder who started it and when if ever it will end.

I seen good bit the city game early on and we once played in a similar manner in that when you got first goal it was only a step to build onto your second and so forth. Attacking was the best from of defense.

I can't remember the last United team to go out playing teams off the pitch and scoring goals for fun.

We had a run of 4s last year but didn't last long. For the last few seasons every year we seem to be talking more about who needs to go and what needs to be changed I wonder when will we finally be seen as stable and be in a state of progression again.

fellaini excellent today, pogba passing off both feet was world class, matic solid as a 3 in midfield worked very well together.

dont know what jose will do with sanchez, another awful performance today, he is lucky he wasnt subbed off sooner

Could have done with dumping Martial in the Summer. If it’s true that the board/himself see him outlasting Mourinho, that’s a disgraceful way to run a club. Who’s to say he will perform for the next manager anyway? I don’t want to see him in the squad at this stage. Biggest waster I’ve seen at United since Di Maria.

Couldn't agree more. Don't need anyone at the club with that attitude.

Lindelof and Smalling are more than capable.

Fellaini has been used to successfully navigate two potentially difficult away games, Mourinho has absolutely nailed it and of it wasn't for some poor fishing against Burnley and last ditch defending/solid saves from Watford today we could have scored 4 or 5 goals in both games.

Then why was Herrera asked to drop into the back line and do the same thing at home to Spurs?

To come away from today lamenting not scoring "4 or 5" is being positive if nothing else I guess.

What game were you watching
Pogba was utter rubbish.. passing off both feet was nowhere near good enough for his supposed works class status.. he did nothing when the game was in the melting pot as usual.. two up and suddenly he's acting like he cares
Take off the blinkers would you
Fellaini and Matic easily better than him... and did it all game long

Pogba was class he bossed that game from start to finish.

He made space to allow fellaini room to be a part of the build up to the two goals and near the end you could even see him directing Dave where to dive it was magical.

All round boss performance by pogba I'll have more of that please.

Thinking back smailling had a great game. The hair must be a good luck charm, watford directness suited him today.

Fair play to watford though, liked their style of play and its a tight knit group there. Id say they'll win over a lot of neutral fans this season and cause a few upsets, think they'll do well if they can keep the form going.

He thrives when lads ahead of him are making runs. Fellani and matic doing the ugly work gave him more responsibilty to setup attacks. Think people want to see him score, if not he's having a bad game. Thought he did well myself

oh and the majority of you are glory hunters. You will try and convince yourselves you arent for a while, but you devote more to Liverpool losing than to Utd winning. Its because a lot of you are here to look down on people. Its funny now cos Ferguson retired and the club lost the plot. But hey, **** it, Ive seen a ton of experts on this webzone. There is no way the Man Utd section of boards.ie is driven by small time greed and desires. the posters are above that. despite massive man utd trolls over years that wreck the forum and make it **** to post in hence load of old good posters leaving. Its obviously me bringing that up which is the problem. Not at all the bull**** bubble this website likes to exist in. I mean those admins that enjoy videos of women putting fish in their vagina's have a lot of great stuff to say

I started supporting United when they were badly trailing Liverpool in the 80s, but I absolutely am a glory hunter. United have lost the plot in the last few years especially at the upper levels within the club, and I seek those glory days once again.

How would you rate Jose? Would you think he is the boss who will bring United back to glory days? Or are we just dancing in the dark with him?
