#5aMatch Stoke City (A) 1-1

Written by

  1. 2 points lost. Wrong decisions by #mourinho today. Happy we still get the last minute point.
  2. We had some chances but totally failed to play creative offensive football. The left wing died with the #blind decision.
  3. #rashford qualified for the starting XI today. Brought power and 1on1’s on the pitch. No one else. Sadly.
  4. What happened to #mata ? Amazing start to the season. Totally lost his faith and energy.
  5. If #mourinho keeps playing #rashford on the wing we need back up for #ibrahimovic – we have no one else on the score sheet ATM. Apart from fairy tale #rooney every 10th match.

#5aMatch Liverpool (H) 1-1

  1. We fought hard for a deserved point but should have done better in the first half. We even looked #nervous from time to time. Our team has to progress for the big stages.
  2. I will not go with all the #pogba bashing. He had a bad game for sure but let him develop and give him some time. He is a young lad and a lot of weight on his shoulders.
  3. Herrera was all over the place once again even in his more defensive 2. half when he replaced #carrick in the deeper roll. But still it was not enough for #manofthematch .
  4. #mourinho was right with his substitutes. We need more movement and feed in midfield to create some space. Rooney on. Martial was out of faith or power in the second. Mata in. No chance to get through the solid defense. #longballunited – #fellaini on.
  5. #fellaini changed the game. Presence, power and ready to fight. Great!

#5aMatch Hull (H) 2-0

  1. Fair result. Ready to go to Wembley. Could have done better in the second half – happy we saved some #energy for #liverpool on Sunday.
  2. #fellaini scored. Really happy the fans showed him he is one of us. #fairplay
  3. Our defense looked fine today – but the real test will come – in my opinion Smalling gives us some extra power in the air. If needed.
  4. #darmian had a great game. Really brought us lots of space and even some good crosses. Not my all time favorite but did well today.
  5. #rooney was taken off to make sure he is fit on Sunday. Right decision. You never know how ill #zlatan really is. Anfield is the right place for Roo’s goal.

#5aMatch Reading (H) 4-0

  1. Boring friendly after 15. minutes. #reading offered nothing at all. Next round – here we go.
  2. #rooney finally equaled the record. With his knee. Had fun today but sure was not as hard as it could have been.
  3. #martial #manofthematch for me. Had some good runs, clever goal and opened a lot of space. Sure he is on his way back to the regular starting XI.
  4. #carrick played really calm and cool. Pretty sure he never verified his age at #united .
  5. Give #youth a chance. Nice to see #fosumensah back on the pitch. Hope there are a lot more young lads on the #pitch on Tuesday.

#5aMatch West Ham (A) 0-2

  1. Stay on your feet and it is not a #redcard . Sure Rojo… who cares. Clear red.
  2. #rashford – wow – just wow. Made the wing powerful. I love to see him as a striker but with his pace and his crossing ability makes him irreplaceable on the wing.
  3. Looked like our guys party hard. Not really full of #energy . Time for a PL break now.
  4. #ibrahimovic had a really bad day in the office. Fine for me if he still scores (sure, this was #offside ).
  5. #3points – and so eager to shut down the #thisisouryear talk in 2 weeks.

#5aMatch Middlesbrough (H) 2-1

  1. Believe is all (Man)U(td) need. 2 month ago it would have been a draw. Now we have the „Sir Alex is alive“ self believe to get the 3 points.
  2. Martial, even before the goal, had his best game since he scored the goal that brought us to the final in April. Aggressive, creative, the spirit to kill every opponent.
  3. All this Pogba, Carrick and Ibra talk. The real killer is Herrera this season. Approx 95 % of his passes have been successful. And open your eyes: he never plays backwards. The reasons van Gaal did not like him.
  4. Rashford needed a break and he rightly got it. Looked fresh today. Hope he can return to his level to give us some options if Ibra is injured or we need a bit more up front.
  5. Blind is not left back. Not center back. More like bench back. Good squad player.
