Fair play to those fans who are still singing (songs not about Liverpool)
Keita injury is a blow due to Taylor losing control of the game failing to give out 2-3 red cards prior. Listening to the vile chants also spoil it but a nice result all the same, Salah is ridiculous.

They're only barebones as people keep kicking our players. I'd like to see another holding player to switch in with Fabinho, but we have Hendo, Fab, Thiago, Ox, Keita, Milner, Jones. It's more than two players per spot in the team.
Edit: and Elliott
Unfortunately thats what happens when players try and break legs. United could easily have been down to 8 and like Purdy has touched on had this happened then maybe we dont have a fella injured.
Associate
but if he makes them fire him he gets that sweet sweet payout.
I was thinking this, but ultimately money talks and everyone is a greedy ****.
Glazers can't be happy with this, for the money they are spending, we're in freefall.

Had the sky special boost up today, West Ham, Leicester and Liverpool. Had a tenner at 14/1. Made my day that has.
I hope that scoreline doesn't cover up the truly terrible performance Anthony Taylor put in again today. If it turns out that Keita is seriously injured I'll be furious. From the back end of the first half through to Pogba's red, Taylor let Utd get away with murder - Ronaldo should have been sent off, Maguire should have been sent off and Fernandes was very fortunate not to get a straight red for his challenge on Jones. Even the Pogba red Taylor managed to miss!
Excellent performance from us. Had we wanted to we could have won that by 10 but we took our foot off the gas after the red card, hopefully that'll be enough to keep Ole in the job. Fingers crossed Milner and Keita's injuries aren't too serious because we've gone from having 8 central midfielders to being down to 3 right now.

Out of interest, what do you think should happen Ole now?
I don't think it's that simple. I've never had any concerns with him in possession and when defending/pressing in attacking positions - he's as good as we have in winning the ball back high up the pitch and created chances. Sometimes he's just a bit soft when he's defending in our half. For whatever reason he just doesn't defend with the same intensity as he does when he's closing down the oppositions CB's on the edge of their area.

Pogba really is the worst kind of football "professional".
Overpaid, couldn't care less attitude, zero motivation for club or fans.
Not the only one in the PL either, by any means.

If it was my choice I'd give him a new contract.
Had Utd lost in midweek then he'd have been sacked for sure after this result but maybe he'll get a reprieve. Utd's next few games might save him. They play City and Chelsea in 2 of their next 3 and might want to hold off any big decision until after then.
edit: it's actually Spurs, City and Chelsea in their next 4.

I would have thought the motions will be starting now at least. Still spurs, city and Chelsea to play before the end of next month. We can still drop out of champs league as well in the next month.
Realistically who is available. Zidane is perhaps the only one but can he even speak English?
Can't wait for the usual Maguire post match interview saying we need to stick together etc.
I think they need to bin him now, and perhaps get Conte in for the international break. Hard to know what'll happen, but not sacking him now just delays the inevitable.
Conte is more likely. I'm not a big fan but he's a proper manager at least, big improvement.

They're not going to sack him unless we finish the season outside of the top 4, that's the ****** reality.

The Glazers aren't spending anything. They are milking a cash cow, taking money out of the club, servicing massive debt and still spending massively on players. If they gave even a single **** about the football they would run the club completely differently.
Soldato
Stevie Gerrard hasn't done too badly at Rangers, they should get him in.
If you had an easier run of games coming up then it would make the decision easier. Do you really want to have a new manager going into those games? You could change manager and easily lose or drop points vs any and all of Spurs, City and Chelsea - not really the start a new manager wants and the atmosphere around the club won't be great.
Soldato
No chance, doing well at rangers is like saying Ole did well at Molde, farmers leagues.
