He is a bit of a joke. Hasn't scored against a team in the top 8 this season.
He is the ultimate flat track bully. Which, in fairness to United, was what they lacked most last season.

But they won't win the PL or CL with Lukaku as main striker.

Its being reported that the goal ruled out by VAR was onside.
VAR in its current state is a bit of a mess really.

Reading the BBC match thread, Jose has got United are back to their glory days, and Lukaku will forever ish with the Golden Boot.

I love how they hold the ear piece to their ear as if to say “leave me alone, I’m checking”.

Thank God we have managers in the Prem who are showing that skilful, fast, exciting Football is the route to success. The brand of “Football” that Mourinho plays is just a game killer, it reminds me of Liverpool of the 80’s, get a goal, kill the game. I detested that team.

This Utd team has gone that way in spades now, utter anti Football team relying on Leicester style tactics, with the cynical filth thrown in.

I never used to mind Mourinho that much really, but I hope he disappears from our shores sooner rather than later. God awful Football with no imagination, no craft, no guile and zero entertainment.

I wonder does SAF sit there thinking “WTF have you done to my club?”

When I first heard how they were going to use VAR i instantly thought they're setting it up to fail.
I'm more convinced now than ever that this is the case.
I mean, a fkin wonky line???? Really?
No problem showing lines for offside INSTANTLY for over 10 years but start using VAR and oh dear its suddenly an issue.
I call bullshit.

Matic is the epitome of a Mourinho team. Absolute dross footballer, but can get in the way of the ball with his freakish long legs and has the uncanny ability to stand exactly where he's told for 90 minutes.

I know most teams have an 'enforcer' type player but most of them have some other abilities. Ferguson had Nicky Butt but hell even he could pass it more than 10 yards (or at least try to)
I know I'm ranting but watching matic play is just total boredom; yet he's probably first name on the teamsheet.

Steve McLaren ....

Huddersfield did as good as they possibly could have done.

But United did a job on them. They defended with their lives and Lindelof and Smalling were magnificent – they were the platform for this win.

Their front three tore Huddersfield apart. That’s how they win. They have quality on the field and on the bench.

Manchester United is a big club and there is huge pressure and responsibility when you wear that red shirt.


It was Huddersfield for fucks sake.

Reported by who? It wasn't onside.
Sorry mate, but if that was us had that goal ruled out I wouldn't be happy.

The way it's being implemented ATM completely ruins the flow of the game...it's terrible.
To think that it's being used in this state in a World Cup in a few months is just laughable.

It was offside, of course there’ll be teething problems but the right decision was made
