Even though Skippy actually did very well under the circumstances IMHO, KULU was our biggest miss today.

We win that if he'd been in the midfield.

Seemed more to me like Porro went to midfield? Dragusin was definitely very wide on the right, it then I didn’t notice if Vdv also was on the left. Anyway, the fullbacks pretty much are midfielders in possession.

Just wondering if this is something we might see more of from Ange. 3 at the back to accommodate VdV, Romero and Dragusin? Definitely keep opposition managers guessing too.

I hope not. We could lose all our CB’s in one game. Triple hammy.

Did you listen to Roy Keane in the studio. We, We, We. Spoken like a true Utd fan except he was Spurs as a kid and also played for Forest . Strange how these players always attach themselves to most success
Ferdinand passes himself off as a lifelong Utd fan even though he was West Ham as a boy, then Leeds.
Lescott another one. Brummie but played 3 or 4 yrs for City now lifelong supporter, Plank.
I always thought pundits were supposed to be impartial . Neville keeps it reasonable.

Where did you get that from?

Nice to see Pleaty hobnobbing at Old Trafford just behind Ferguson and Jim Ratcliffe.

At one point it looked like he was bending forward and really straining to hear what Radcliffe (prominent Brexit supporter*) and SAF were saying. But then I realised that the ball was near the touchline and Pleaty was actually watching whereas they weren't :)

(*we should point this out wherever possible so that nobody forgets these people)

A draw at Old Trafford with Bissouma, Sarr, Madders, Kulu & Son missing, decent result and performance.

We're going to be a serious problem for some teams when everyone is back.

If he carries on like this, they’ll limp through to the end of the season and he’ll get sacked the following day. He is just so uninspiring. That team has zero character, Ange has really shown him up, as well as others.

I think thats exactly whatll happen.

Ratcliffe will use it as a opportunity to have a 'fresh start' 'new era'.

They are already going through players contracts

Keane’s got his television persona to keep up but I think he was fair in pointing out despite everything we did only get a draw. It was a more than decent result and nice performance but I’m sure Ange will be telling the team we need to win these ones in future.

What's incredible is how Ange has managed to get pretty much all out back up players playing pretty decent football.

We do give the ball away much more often but at least he's getting these guys to play the same way as the first team players and being brave. The drop in quality will of course mean losing the ball more often and sloppy passes. But the bravery has well and truly been instilled within the whole squad.

Despite missing Sarr, Biss, Maddison, kulu and son, we still played good football for most of the game. Just missed that killer instinct with the final ball.

Great post. Absolutely spot on

Shows how far we have come and direction we are heading to be disappointed with a draw at OT

Last season, or even seasons past this game would have been beyond us going behind so early.

Post match interviews with Ange, Micky, Skipp and Timo just showed how disappointed they were, and they thought we'd dropped two points.

End of the day if we are there or thereabouts when Madders, Bissouma, Sarr, and Son return then we will be a force to be reckoned with.

In Timo's first game after just two training sessions we can see that he will be a big threat moving forward.

Excellent team performance and a well earned point i think.

Of the two managers, and two sets of fans, I know which camp is the less happy with today's overall result.

United are the happier that's for sure.

In April he will have been at United for two years and spent four hundred million plus on players. He has improved his side in which way?

Think about this, Marital is due a testimonial next season.

Probs been said already numerous times - at old Trafford, with a somewhat makeshift 11, & we get a draw. Would’ve loved tge win but a draw is more than deserved. Credit the makeshift midfield
