In Breaking news Man Utd's other new signing comes in under the radar, Mariner out shining Sanchez in every play, what a signing and all for a packet of fags and an autographed pillow case!

Just hope that penalty/kane chance doesn't come back to haunt us

we have played well but we know they will be much better this 2nd half and they already looked dangerous.

Just hope we can get another and kill their hopes, so big 45 coming up, please don't blow this lads after that first half showing..!

Eric Dier was sensational that half. Winning the ball, using it wisely and creatively when needed and controlling the midfield with Moose.

I hope those people who like to bring out the diatribe against him after one mistake remember the games like this (of which there have been many) where he is excellent.

Most of this game is being played at either end - mostly theirs- our high press and their occasional break through our high press and getting straight through to our back four.

The much maligned player who deserves most credit from that half is Trippier, who’s quick little brain has been pivotal.

Dier and Dembele have supported the forward press well enough but Dier’s actually been pressed off the ball at least twice himself and there have been several moments when Utd walked past our midfield and the back four saved the day.

Playing Pogba in a cm2 was a bit reckless by Mourinho and I’ll be amazed if he leaves them like that.

I will get Dele to find opportunity in the box again to draw fouls. Surely the chance of us getting a penalty is higher now.

Superb stuff. Not a single poor performance for us to jump onto. Kane has been imperious in his forward play, and would be completely deserving of a goal. Nice to see Trippier being back to his best.
