And that's what captain's do.

One of the most entertaining United performances I’ve seen in a while.

Zirkzee and Bruno absolutely outstanding.

Working tomorrow. Wish I'd been there

Great work from the donkey there.

He’s done everything bar score tonight.

 

[Swango1980]

No goal from Holjlund, but hopefully that assist gives him a boost.

Some rusty finish attempts, but he has had a lot of good moments tonight. Much better than he has been over last couple of months

Bruno has to be one of the most underrated and underappreciated players of this generation. Gets nothing but stick but churns out world class stats and remains the best penalty taker going.

There's a couple on this forum, mentioning no names, Arthur, who said Bruno wouldn't get in the Liverpool side.
Well if you're looking for a penalty taker.....

 

[Swango1980]

We talk about shot conversion of strikers.

I reckon this referees card conversion is one of the highest I've seen (cards / fouls)

Best performance of the season, especially considering that they scored first.
Superb performances from Bruno, Zirkzee and, surprisingly, Casemiro.
I also thought Rasmus had a really impactful game, his work rate was fantastic.

Zirkzee tonight playing more like the player I saw for Bologna in Serie A

The Dutch Ronaldinho.

Not been since just before Christmas - getting three tickets together for me and the kids, even as members, is becoming increasingly difficult.

Still on the waiting list for season tickets. Hopefully by the time we get them United will be putting in more performances which put smiles on faces.

Don't forget Heaven either. Thought he looked really composed for a young players making his first start.

Very much like Dorgu on left. Some feeble shots and didn't get an assist, but having a wingback who gets forward like that is absolutely priceless (and led to red card I suppose). It was ironic in a way that it was Dalot who got on score sheet

 

[Golfmmad]

He’s absolutely wasted at Utd.
Put him in a good team & he’s top drawer imo.

A bit like Rashford is at Villa.

I get mine from a mate who can't go a lot but won't give them up. I think there maybe a few handing theirs back at end of season, you may be in with a chance. Not worth me going on list I work 2 weekends out of 3,

In years gone by, when every game simply went to ballot six weeks before match day and I went on my own, I pretty much got to go to the games I wanted to see.

Then, in common with most clubs, United adopted the ridiculous system of opening applications the day the season fixture list was announced. It became clear very early on that people were buying for the whole season regardless of whether they could actually get there, as there are always tickets returned. But that, allied to the fact that both my kids are members, means that I am trying to buy three tickets at a time.

There are lots of single seats available for most games, but buying a block of three is nigh on impossible. Apart from cup games.

I’ll be online at 9am to see if I can grab three for 17 April.

Congratulations Rangers.. bye bye Mourinho

And Spurs won.....!

We have Mo Salah for Pens


He can sit on the bench and come on for a shootout if needed

As an aside. Do you think Salah would have been as sportsmanlike as Dorgu immediately said to the ref that it was no penalty when fouled? Or would he still be rolling around even now?
