Great win considering. Might be the last time we see Ronaldo.

Seeing him sprint after that through ball and not manage to get there...

This. Was never gonna be easy to do and you don’t just stroll it off the back of seven straight losses.

What we need to see here is a plan and some basics in terms of work rare and spirit. We got that. The better football will come. Especially if we can get two forwards in.

Cracking away win, stop £#%&!ing moaning ffs.

Yep. Surely he will leave this week.

Great win. Martinez was immense again; easily MOTM. Varane was class too and Malacia. Dalot was way better in the 2nd half. Big Cas looked good when he came on

He's £#%&!ing 38 you #@&%!

I agree that the most important thing about today was ending our recent away hoodoo. Yes there's plenty of room for improvement, but we knew that anyway - nice as Monday night was.

Huge win, buzzing....

Our new signings are ace.

I hate this attitude

Solid throughout, no chaos in defence which makes a nice change. Would’ve taken a 1-0 before the game.

Need to grind a few out, get points on the board and build some confidence.

Absolutely desperate for a midfielder and 2-3 attackers imo. Just let Ronaldo go.

Huge win but let’s be honest that was a shit performance
Credit to the defence, they were excellent and stood up to some serious pressure
Midfield and attack were powder puff and shit except for the goal

We just needed to win and break our away hoodoo but if anyone thinks ETH will be happy with that then they’ll be very surprised
ETH football isn’t going to come over night and we’ll need wins like today to build confidence and also need some more players that can play high intensity possession football

Sorry to be that person (actually, no I'm not) but he doesn't turn 38 until next year.

He was carrying a knee injury picked up a few minutes earlier, tbf.

Made some incredible leaps to win headers and keep possession for the team, most of which was then duly lost by Rashford.

Hope that's not the last time we've ever seen Him the the shirt.

no he isn’t.

There were countless occasions when one of Ferguson's teams would win like that. Not the prettiest of games or the greatest of performances, but another 3 points in the bag. From bottom to 6th in a week.

Well we won't be in 48 hours, but point taken. Put a run together and EtH might not have the impossible job after all

Absolute %@#$&!s, Did more when he came on than Rashford and Elanga put together.

But he’s only five foot 9
