Going down @#%&!os

There's a red card out there with @#%&!ermole's name on it, he's SEETHING

A quite disgusting half of football

Why does Pogba never shoot from distance anymore?

0-2 United it is then

Hopefully none of our players get Lee Cattermole'd in the 2nd half

But so far okay 1st half and great goal from Ibra, what a guy

Yep. Utterly reliant on something out of nothing, which fortunately Zlatan can produce.

Bloody hate a comfortable last 15 mins do United, bloody hate them

Need to be careful 2nd half now.

Going by the piss weak refs in this league he'll look to even it up. Give them a soft pen or send someone off

Quinn being an absolute hypocrite regarding the red card. After the injury to Seamus Coleman, he was (rightly) calling for referee's to be more strict on those type of tackles. Herrera definitely made the most of it, but the player was ot of control and on another day, it could have been a whole lot worse! The player on the receiving end shouldn't need to be nailed for it to be deemed a red.

Their chance in the first half didn't come directly from Darmian, but nearly. Just ambled towards their left side attacker and allowed a simple chain of events to begin.

Let me be perfectly clear: I saw him do this pre season after we signed him for EVERY goal we conceded.

And this is when he's playing well... we all saw what happened when he went on to repeatedly shit his shorts.

Nothing has changed.

He never seems to beat men in the dribble anymore

Think back to his first game against Southampton and how he kept bursting past their players looking incredibly dynamic
Really lacking confidence

Herrera's been excellent this half

2 real moments of quality from united - lingard's run quickly followed by the goal.

tbf that's the way top sides do it in nothing games on the eve of european quarter-finals, and there's a top side in us just waiting to get out

you are quite brutally optimistic. Red tinted glasses isn't even close to doing you justice.

That was dreadful from Bailly there. Could have got sent off for that trip as well.
