    Gotten lost a bit in all the transfer drama but there's still a lot of talent in this squad. The fullbacks, however, are terrible and there's not another source of width in the team.

    Bailly and Lindelof will get less cover than the do with Matic, so need to step up.

    The attackers should get more service than they are used to from our usual conservative midfield, so need to step up and make use of it and get some goals.

    We look like we will more likely concede, so will have to make use of all this attacking talent and score more than a single goal. Its a risk however at least more the Man Utd way, but very unMou like :)

    You got your wish. Credit to Jose. Let's see how we look defensively.

    Lol no credit Jose. He's forced to do this. Matic is hurt, Herrera is hurt, Fellaini isn't fit. It was AP or McT.

    I'll give Jose credit if he plays him still when Matic is fit.

    Could be that Mou is half hoping the lack of cover will highlight his demands to get some better CBs, but if the result is that he is taking some shackles of the attackers (the Mata / fullback issues aside) then it is a risk worth taking if we at least see some watchable football.

    Showing the new changing room layout on Sky, they have apparently halved the away team changing room size to give the home team a bigger one :)

    Come on! Big chance for a big start.

    Pogba taking it over Sanchez?

    Great start, however if Luke Shaw scores I'll know this is a dream :)

    I know I'm a fanboy when it comes to AP, but I love the positions he's taking up defensively. Cutting out passing lanes well.

    Shaw played a big part in the goal with his run.

    Excellent defensive header there by Pogba. Didn't see that last season.

    Rashford doing more of what he always does...runs with his head down ignoring his teammates.

    Pogba is going to love Fred. He plays the ball quick and doesn't stop making runs.

    Fred has been good also so far. If he keeps this he'll be a very valuable addition to the team. Very busy and active player. Like that.

    good start. Carragher sounds weird as ******** on Sky now. like his voice is weaker now.

    surprised they let him back in the first place

    Superb from Bailly. That's the player we loved from his first season with United.

    Typical Jose team, we're now sitting back since we have the lead. Giving them possession.
