I often disagree with Souness as a pundit, but he's quite right that United were lucky to finish the game with only one red card. Maybe Pogba's challenge on Hojbjerg shouldn't be a red, but a yellow for that combined with the penalty he conceded + other fouls should have resulted in a red. Shaw may have been a soft, but my understanding of the rules is that going to ground without any attempt to play the ball is a red.
Understandable if some united fans feel hard done by over the Martial sending off, but they should feel fortunate that only one player will be suspended for their next 3 games.

Sky didn't have Keano in the studio.

Just listening to the Sky Analysis - for me (who works in a coaching/psychology capacity) it’s not so much about recruitment of new players, it’s about managing and elevating all players in your squad.
And that comes down to practical psychology and great man management.
Look at Harry Kane as a prime example. He’s got a superb ‘never say die’ mindset.
He’s come through the tough way.
Too much is made of recruitment.
But great teams are built on tough-love, extreme levels of fitness and commitment...and high levels of confidence.
That comes from the training paddock.
That comes from how you react to on-field situations.
How deep you want to go when the going gets tough.
How fearless you are.
How committed you are to the team and the fans.
Look at Lamela and Le Celso.
These psychological skills are not natural.
These skills are learnt. They are learnt from those in your immediate circle.
From Poch and from José.
That is why Spurs are thriving.
And why Man United are diving.
Yes...new recruits elevate sides.
But they only elevate sides because those players have already learnt those psychological skills.
That‘s why they are worth the real money. They add incredible value.
However buying players without the psychological skills is either a risky investment or a stupid investment.
Can they be coached-up?
Yes...but, only if they have a can-do attitude and a progressive manager.
Harry Kane now talking about this very thing in his interviews.
The mindsets the players now have.

It's amazing that it's all about United's defeat rather than our victory.
