Haven't watched Man Utd for a few months. Might give this a watch to see
if there really has been an improvement.

 

[Cambuslang Bear]

Man Utd are flying just now. And they need to win. 4-1 Man Utd.

 

[NotOffside]

Hope Championship Greenwood doesn't let the side down.

 

[Business_Bear]

Hopefully a decent game here, Man U been banging them in.

 

[Hap Hapablap]

Same starting 11 for Man United for 5 games in a row.

Most since 1993.

 

[london_bluenose]

Man Utd have been one of the few sides that have been good viewing since the restart.

They should win this to go 3rd.

Probably a drab 0-0 now.

 

[NotOffside]

Always wondered why Ward-Prowse hasn't had game time for England. Very tidy player and fantastic at set-pieces.

 

[NotOffside]

Of course he would then go and leather it out of play...

 

[NotOffside]

And then very nearly cost them a goal.

Own goal impending...

 

[govanrear1987]

Hope Championship Greenwood doesn't let the side down.

You not think he’s a good player?

 

[NotOffside]

You not think he’s a good player?

I think for his age and lack of experience he's fantastic. One of the most promising young players in world football.

But some numpty here a week or so ago generally said he was barely Championship quality and didn't deserve any hype.

 

[Smkz23]

Good start for Southampton and a good goal.

 

[rfc_chris_rfc]

Well deserved lead for Southampton

Didn’t see that post.

I agree with you, think he’s an excellent prospect

 

[Alvor]

This will be my first game since lockdown to watch, let’s see if no crowds are worth the wait

 

[NotOffside]

Can't see Ings not scoring in this game if Southampton stick at this tempo.

 

[Jimmy Jazz]

First time in weeks Man Utd haven't played utter dross and are struggling.

 

[NotOffside]

First time in weeks Man Utd haven't played utter dross and are struggling.

Their back line is shocking in comparison to what they're capable of going forward. Any side with quality forwards as Southampton have, and a positive mentality, will cause them plenty of problems.

 

[rfc_chris_rfc]

First time in weeks Man Utd haven't played utter dross and are struggling.

This, sure they do have some very good players and some good prospects but the way they’ve been bummed up in the media recently has been nauseating. I’m sure next season they will be good but they’ve been talked about recently as if they will challenge for the title next season

 

[Main Stand]

Since the 9-0 game Southampton have been fantastic, kudos to the board for not reacting negatively. Ings must feel he’s been done out of a guaranteed Euro’s inclusion.

 

[Danger Zone]

Terrible pass. That was a great chance after Pogba was robbed again.

 

[london_bluenose]

Southampton making United look shite so far.

 

[dh1963]

Famous last words, but there looks like more goals in this

 

[Oduwa]

Don’t think the squad will be announced for another 10 months or so.

 

[Smkz23]

Lovely finish by Rashford.

 

[london_bluenose]

1-1, got a game on our hands here.

 

[NotOffside]

Great finish Rashford. Always love watching him even if he can blow hot and cold. Hell of a talent.

 

[Main Stand]

Don’t think the squad will be announced for another 10 months or so.

That’s my point....

 

[Oduwa]

One each Rashford.

 

[Oduwa]

That’s my point....

Got you, would have been in it if it had gone ahead!

 

[JayDee]

Martial did very well there.

 

[Main Stand]

Got you, would have been in it if it had gone ahead!

Haha aye mate . Must admit I didn’t see the hype at Burnley but he’s at a club that suits him now. Really good striker.

 

[Jimmy Jazz]

This, sure they do have some very good players and some good prospects but the way they’ve been bummed up in the media recently has been nauseating. I’m sure next season they will be good but they’ve been talked about recently as if they will challenge for the title next season

The run of fixtures recently was similar to what they had when OGS first took over. Bottom half canon fodder that's allowed Pogba and the other sand dancers to fill their boots.

Chelsea being inconsistent and Leicester's form going off a cliff will probably mean they get top 4. They're still clearly miles off Liverpool and Man City.

 

[jnloyal]

What a goal that was

 

[london_bluenose]

What a feckin strike.

2-1 united.

 

[Smkz23]

2-1, this game has really got going, some strike by Martial.

 

[Clay Davis]

Brilliant stuff

 

[Jimmy Jazz]

They scored twice in the time it took me to type that

 

[dh1963]

Famous last words, but there looks like more goals in this

Not like md predict something right.

 

[Diego Maradona]

Great game of football

 

[Danger Zone]

Keeper beaten too easily there in my opinion. Southampton have played some decent stuff going forward but two really poor goals to lose.

 

[NotOffside]

Cracking goal that!

Martial, Rashford, Greenwood and possibly Sancho will light up the Theatre of Dreams in the coming years, that's for sure. Not forgetting Fernandes either.

 

[Main Stand]

My favourite United player, If they can get a decent defence .....

 

[Jjbscotty]

Some game. Martial is a cracking player.

 

[The Little General]

Great game so far. Man U are mince at the back but great going forward. Could be a lot more goals in this.

 

[Crouchy]

Can Ole buy a defence?

 

[NotOffside]

Great game so far. Man U are mince at the back but great going forward. Could be a lot more goals in this.

It's almost like a separate competition between United, City, Chelsea, Arsenal and Spurs as to who has the most cack defence!

All of them need additions.

 

[rfc_chris_rfc]

The Southampton rb’s defending for that goal was atrocious, and again for that counter attack.

 

[Business_Bear]

First half hour probably sums up where Man U are, very good going forward and ropey at the back when put under pressure.
