The one that frustrated me the most today was Hojbjerg. The moment he misses a tackle or loses the ball he's completely out of the game because he sells himself so cheaply.
Second goal. He gets tackled, does his little jump and clap, and precedes to amble back towards the box whilst United attack and play the ball through the very space that he should be occupying.
So many times he goes to.tackle, misses the tackle and jogs off to side

Johnson. He's got pace to burn but he doesn't ever seem to use it or go at his man

Well I usually agree with Roy on a lot of things, but he’s well off there (moaning about how everyone is praising spurs due to injuries).

I don’t think he actually appreciates our injury problems and for how long its affected our starting line up. Coming to Old Trafford with a depleted team that has also had illness through the week, the team definitely deserves the praise.

lol for a Spurs fan Roy isn't wanting to big us up too much

It was surprising that Jamie redknapp had to check him. Because what Keane was saying wasn’t fair at all. We DO the deserve the credit, we have had a worse time of it this season personnel-wise than man utd

Surprised at Roy Keane. Redknapps point, we were absolute dog shit for 4 years. We’ve turned it around massively because of Ange. Man Utd have not with TH.

Certainly a lot of positives to take from today.

Richy was superb and looks the absolute business at the moment.

Porro and Udogie are wonderful, and seeing actual centre backs on the pitch is excellent, even if they were rusty to begin with.

Bentancur is a properly slick operator and we are lucky to have him, and Werner looks to have been a shrewd bit of business.

And overall the fact we are a bit gutted at not winning at Old Trafford is a good sign of where we are as a club now.

I just really hope we start getting some players back and I hope we are strongly looking for a midfielder in the next 2 weeks.

I'm not sure the plan was for Johnson to start so many games but Ange has had his hand forced. Go easy on him; he's far from the finished article.
When you pay as much as we paid.. I'd expect the finished article. He's definitely not worth the outlay.... he is more a 25 million pound player.

It's a pity because I'll always judge his performance vs what we paid. Same with Ndombele.... I'd watch him and scratch my head thinking what did they see and why did they pay that much.

Even when we bought Sanchez for that amount.... I kept thinking back to his Europa league performance and wondered wtf.

Absurd from Keane, the supposed Spurs supporter too.

We just dominated the game at old Trafford and our team, scrapping the bottom in terms of personnel, displayed a clear style of play which United were completely lacking. Ten Hag has had much longer and spent much more, it's amazing what Ange has achieved in comparison to the dutchman

Taking Lamela's value in to consideration didn't we pay a similar amount for Gil? Yet everyone is willing to give him time.

The bottom line is Johnson (and Gil, for that matter) is only 22 years old. Definitely has time to tweak his game for the better.
