That was a really fun watch from a neutral perspective. It was up-and-down stuff.

Traore coming on in the second half and destroying Luke Shaw was some compelling stuff. When he smashed McTominay, I think it was, out of the way with his shoulder on one of his runs, I laughed. I enjoy that really physical play.

I think the Martial/James partnership has promise and so does James/Wan-Bissaka. I'm excited to see United go full counter-attacking team at the Etihad and at Anfield. Those will be entertaining matches.
Yeah. We're a counter-attacking team...we don't know how to break teams like Wolves down...especially when go face Burnley :francis:

He was really voted their Player of The Year last year lol

Hes always been average. No wonder Jose hated him :dead:
Always average. They’ve been killing Lukaku for his weight issues but this guy been overweight. Iirc van gaal didn’t check for him either.

Within a few days as him as manager that was the first thing Louie mentioned:skip:

He is the definition of a generic fullback...and Pogba seems to trust him when he's looking for a pass:francis:

Should've made these subs 10 minutes ago
The fact that he kept James and Lingard on after 70th minute says a lot either about Ole or the bench :jbhmm:

Like I said before Ole has been talking a lot about the academy players since he's been appointed but is yet to give anyone a proper look. Greenwood on at 89th minute, Gomes not even on the bench :hubie:
