Our 'strongest' XI at the moment: very happy to see Williams getting the start at LB. Let's hope the boys can get it done and go on intl break on a high.

Brighton will be a handful though. Their XI: Ryan, Montoya, Dunk, Duffy, Burn, Trossard, Stephens, Propper, Alzate, Connolly, Maupay

good. though i wish him well, i am more than ready to move on from the Shaw era.

we have to have fullbacks good in both directions. this is a start

Mctominay a force at 2 minutes. I would have liked to see Greenwood start this game.

Ashur · Nov 10, 2019

Good defending from Williams.

Ashur · Nov 10, 2019

Nice run from Rashford thru Brighton's backline, the shot not enough to trouble Ryan.

Ashur · Nov 10, 2019

AP, 1-0. Deflected but will take it nonetheless. Deserved for United after a positive start.

MizzouMUFC · Nov 10, 2019

Good start. Goal was lucky but the attack looks good. Although it is Brighton.

Ruud v.Nistelrooy 10 · Nov 10, 2019

James sure has dramatic falls

Ruud v.Nistelrooy 10 · Nov 10, 2019

McTominay for two

Ashur · Nov 10, 2019

Another lengthy VAR check for the goal... And it stands: that's 2-0 United, McTominay. The perfect start.

Ruud v.Nistelrooy 10 · Nov 10, 2019

VAR replay showing handball clearly above the shoulder. killed the vibe

Ruud v.Nistelrooy 10 · Nov 10, 2019

goal given. multiple goals in the first half again? i'll take it. small steps

Ashur · Nov 10, 2019

A very confident and tidy game from Williams so far. Shaw needs to watch his back.

Ashur · Nov 10, 2019

The backline needs to be tighter on set pieces. Not the first time today they found themselves caught out, providing an opportunity to Brighton.

Ruud v.Nistelrooy 10 · Nov 10, 2019

Pereira has been better on the ball than i remember. still not great but better

Ashur · Nov 10, 2019

Long range pop from AP: Ryan had it well covered though.

HT: 2-0. Good play from the boys today. More of it in the 2nd half.

Ashur · Nov 10, 2019

Would like to see the replay of Martial's shot to see if there was indeed a valid handball shout.

Ruud v.Nistelrooy 10 · Nov 10, 2019

potential red here. but just yellow.

somewhat fortunate

Ashur · Nov 10, 2019

Belter from Fred, which almost got the best of Ryan. He's been very good today btw.
Also nice to see our players try their luck from distance (which are on target and test the keeper as well).
