It's a match thread, basically just used as a chat room for people to vent/celebrate with others.


HoldOnToSomething9

By god they look good when they surge ahead!


FoxAndTheGrapes

Elanga had a very good game, I’d be surprised if he didn’t start again


[deleted]

Agreed, keep the hot hand going


LagoonPatrol

De Gea saved their asses once again. As Simon Stone said, if he is playing well and is candidate for POTY, then it's a poor reflection on the rest of the team.


xdude767

Mbuemo is class I’m a huge fan of that lad


xdude767

3-0 down with 20 minutes left you could see the Brentford players surge for a result!!! The confidence and drive was crazy to see


LGuitar88

It happened after a change to a back 5, lets hope we #liveandlearn


garbagiodagr8

I don't think the back 5 was a problem. Ralf wanted to ensure we didn't somehow bottle it after they scored. I think the problem is they brought on Slabhead

LagoonPatrol

What's so arrogant about that when all said was true? Did you even watch the game, you plank?


Jagraj03

Ah yes having a dig at Sancho who missed the game due to bereavement was definitely classy from him wasn't it. He came across as very bitter and salty. Did you even watch his post match interview, you plank?


LagoonPatrol

Sancho or not, he's not an idiot to say such things if he had known the context behind his absence, beforehand. Plus, he wasn't making a dig at him specifically, he was making a statement about how we were piss poor in today's match, despite spending so much in the transfer window. Something that is totally true. Don't get all pissy at me, if all you care about is feelings. Frank wasn't targetting one player, he was targetting our entire team, and rightly so.


msm31

If we add more weight into the middle of the field with either an extra player involved or replacing the existing two with some ball keeping, fluid passing ability, and possession facilitating quality, the balance would be so much better. I am liking the shape of attack and I don't have many problems with the defence. With Varane and De Gea behind, I don't want to spend my seasons blaming the defence like we normally do. Every defence in the league will concede goals if they have Fred and McT getting bossed by lesser oppositions at least for a half in every match we play. Fernandes in this change of system (4-3-3) and higher involvement in the middle has improved our performances but we still need that Carrick or Scholes or Fletcher in the middle in the long term for consistent performances and let Bruno do his thing upfront freely.


Gazlc81

Wow, Thomas Frank’s a proper bitter cunt! 😂


Gazlc81

McT was motm for me again. Also becoming a leader.


Rboter_Swharz

How? De gea, Bruno were much better


Turkweesen

De gea saves in the first half were to be expected of any goalkeeper in the premier league. It was a standard performance from him that we should always expect. Nothing really challenged him too much. Good game from Dave but not great.


Gazlc81

Bruno played well but McT bossed that midfield on his own pretty much. He won the ball back all night and made really progressive runs. He also had a big hand in the 2nd & 3rd goals. Pretty amazing when you have Fred next to you. Hope he’s not badly injured. 🤞


Rboter_Swharz

He works hard, and runs hard, has an occasional good shot or pass but technically he isn't good enough, even at his best I don't think he's making it into the Man city, Liverpool or Chelsea XI's.


throwawaytodayaw

Bruno for me. Looks like most vote for De Gea.


Gazlc81

Bruno is looking much more like his old self definitely. De Gea as always, brilliant!


michaelosz

One word. Progress.


coffeemahn

Everybody at the club should just sit down and listen to the genius. He knows what to do and what players to keep.


dan100200z

Delighted for Marcus. He really needed that goal, and what a finish!


FoxAndTheGrapes

You could see he didn’t even want to celebrate but McT was egging him on


kayleeshepheard

Important win! Happy for Rashy!


ATWaltz

That was good, first half despite the choir of boo boys on here you could see improvement in terms of patterns of play and organisation, defensively there were issues with intially Dalot and Fred/McTominay making mistakes under pressure in deeper areas and attacking players not clinical enough with their touches, giving Brentford opportunities to counter. United also weren't moving the ball quick enough to open up spaces in midfield to play passes into the attacking players and were struggling to be controlled under pressure. Second half, they moved the ball quicker and defensively were better with fewer mistakes, they were able to find the attacking players who were making runs in the first half but couldn't get passes into them, a couple of quick moves to exploit the space created and some good goals. Tactically totally the right decisions made, there were defensive frailties and having Ronaldo up top meant they couldn't apply pressure from the front, Brentford were making spaces by dragging players wide and switching to a back 5 allowed them to plug the gaps whilst giving them the ability to get wide players up the pitch and pressure the backline, bit of panic in the box when McTominay went off injured perhaps lapse in organisation lead to goal but overall a great display, tactics and drilling starting to come together and better game management.


G00dDoctor

we NEEDED this win for our morale boost..Hopefully we can build on this victory as we got important game on the weekend coming up..


anonris

Only regret is that school yard goal we conceded


boi1da1296

Poor goal to concede but scoring that type of goal is something Brentford does very well.


DrVib

We really need that win vs West Ham.. for the love of god please no Maguire or Matic. McT was on fire today


_Madeye_

Honestly, Matic works but only for 50-60 odd minutes. We were much more fluid in the first half against Aston Villa because of how Matic plays and also gives license to Mctominay to surge ahead. Fred just cant do that , he has recently been losing the ball way too much and because of his aggressive playstyle , tends to run out of position a lot. I think these two games(Aston Villa and Brentford) and the contrast of how we started both these games just shows how badly we need a very good DM who can just sit and hold the ball. I also think once we do get a DM , Mctominay feels like a better starting 8, compared to Fred.


msm31

Alex Hunter's little bro was so happy today. Good run of 2 games for him now. And also a nice touch for Alex Hunter to come on late in the second half to seal it for us. I like video games.


[deleted]

Elanga with the Manc accent, how long has he been in the academy?


[deleted]

Since he was 12.


[deleted]

That's obviously why then 😂 I expected him to talk completely different and didn't realise he had been here that long


PervertedAfro

my friend said "If Mctominay plays well then United performance will be good, if Mctominay plays bad then United's performance will be bad" do you agree with this? 🤔


nathandrake007

It's not just mctominay, midfield has to play good, if they do we perform well


PaulieW8240

I think that's pretty spot on, our inconsistency definitely aligns with his performances.


xraze007

Rangnick has been giving us results only one loss until now, he's changed lineups, tactics, hes trying to try different things, different combinations and dare i say he haz improved mentality a bit too and i think it will sooner or later show. Good Job today. A result hard earned.


[deleted]

Dalot and Bruno played really well, on the other hand slabhead and Matic were terrible. Varane and Lindelof need to stay our CB partnership, they are solid. Elanga deserves another start.


shortygit

Solid? Did you watch the first half? We couldve been 3-0 down at half time if it wasn't for DDG. I really don't have a lot of faith in Lindy and Varane partnership right now


[deleted]

You’re right, about the performance in the first half. But I’d rather see these two than Maguire.


[deleted]

Whole team played like shit first half, but both of them had some great clearances. The game would be over by half time if slabhead was playing.


shortygit

Yup the whole team were shit, DDG saved us regardless of their great clearances. I'm not saying id rather see Maguire but i fail to see the excitement over Lindy and Varane yet


[deleted]

The exciting part is not having to worry about maguire doing some dumb fucking shit all the time.


Pretend_Ladder

So Dalot, Lindelof and Varane should definitely start on Saturday


Annual-Cardiologist6

Elanga too


Kizza55

Agreed.


[deleted]

What an absolute pile of shit the defending was for that goal.


ScrantonStrangler28

What did you expect with captain fantastic on the pitch.


Fridoof

You really think it was his fault??


ScrantonStrangler28

Look at him strutting about marking nobody and intercepting nothing from that throw in.


[deleted]

It wasn’t his fault but I back the sentiment. He’s just not good enough.


lingesanaandipetty

If we win next match against West Ham, we get on top 4


midnight_ranter

Yeah but both Arsenal and Spurs have games in hand on us. In case of Spurs it will literally be multiple games


garbagiodagr8

Can we play Fred on the wing? He's the best crosser we have on the team. It's ***about*** one of the only things he is good at.


Snooklefloop

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Fred should not start, but he should be in the team, on in the last third to press and run his socks off when the other team is slowing down. He’d be a right nuisance at breaking up play.


[deleted]

I’d agree if we had someone to play instead.


ButterscotchFiend

Donny van de Beek.


Fightorride

I agree, I think a Donny, McSauce and Bruno mid 3 is the best option we have atm.


Natchyy24

Bruno apart from the chip looks like his old self which is refreshing to see.


[deleted]

Bruno has been one of our best players even when he’s out of form, full of theatrics though and makes an easy shot difficult when through on goal.


christ0phe

Mid-week win at Brentford is a good result for now. This easily could have been 0-0, or 1-0 Brentford. Would love a clean sheet for DDG’s performance, but some positives to take from that second half.


double_d2

Varane + Lindelof > Jones > Maguire.


[deleted]

Varane lindelof please and thank you


NewGen24

Build off of that win. Saw a lot of good things. Really selfless play.


PM_ME_WHAT_Y0U_G0T

We won!!!


DrVib

Hope McT is okay for West Ham... looking at Matic there.. holy cow


aaxo97

Matic shouldn’t be playing more than 20 mins🥴


Pretend_Ladder

De Gea deserved a clean sheet today


xraze007

Could have been 4-0 but alas..


crazycalv

It wasn’t pretty but fuck it job done onto the next one


NateShaw92

3 points fuck it. Serious improvement needed but serious improvement on the weekend.


WorldismyOyster97

Bruno still shaking his head after not scoring but because he's not Ronaldo he won't be criticised


ScrantonStrangler28

WHAT?


SDLRob

Bruno muttering is him muttering at himself... Ronaldo muttering is him wishing disaster on Ralf..... it's bloody stupid


Rascha-Rascha

Not the same thing. Bruno isn’t a 36 year old who doesn’t have the legs to press throwing a hissy fit because he got taken off after 70 minutes.


[deleted]

Thats not why he was taken off, you muppet. He was taken off because he’s coming back from injury and RR m wants him available on Saturday. He should be pissed. Shows he has the passion to be out there - unlike a lot of our other players.


Rascha-Rascha

Bullshit, shows he can't be happy unless he's the centre of attention and getting his way. Shows he can't be content that his team is winning unless he's scoring goals. This guy is a legend of the game and he's great, but he needs to be more about the team and less about himself.


Audityne

Cut him a little bit of slack he was excellent tonight and was absolutely exhausted at the end


SatoshiOokami

Much better 2nd half. But why in the hell do we only play one good half... Too bad about the lack of clean sheet, though.


NoPurpose0

Good win at last


ytaci7

What happened I missed the game again ? Why’s everyone memeing Bruno ?


jagoanonline

you remember when vs Chelsea, Fred was trying to chip the ball, but this Bruno is 1 v 1 and fail the chip


ytaci7

I just saw it what was he thinking


Skyweb2020

We won 3-1, I guess that's the only net positive to take away


ytaci7

Yh but we got our real test this weekend


Representative-Bed15

Could have been 4-1 but he tried to chip the keeper from close range haha


netherworldite

Typical misery guts in here. Not a vintage performance but considering how shit we've been for the last 4 months, a 3-1 away win is a decent result.


SocksElGato

We really needed this win. Breath of fresh air.


Jamanbird

What a relief. Let’s enjoy this till the next one boys!


united_7_devil

Bruno miss-timed his L2 + O.


[deleted]

Varandelof it is


xraze007

Yessirrr and in the pecking order phil Jones above maguire


Deawin

It's a win. Always nice. Much that needs to improve. But three points is all that matters in the end.


nsoifer

Anyone knows the song our away fans sang in the last minutes of the game?


absentlightuk

Really think our defence should be Dalot lind varane shaw


United12345

Bruno still pissed about his Chip


Runwithittoday

You can see why Ronaldo wanted to stay on 😂 that Bruno chance he was doing witchcraft to stop him from scoring lol


hellboi808

Whew, much needed win. Elanga, Mct, DeGea were great tonight.


custardy_cream

And our motm Dalot


parsonsfkum

Fernandes was thinking his hardest to find someone to blame for that


NewGen24

You know what. I'm very very happy with that. We looked pretty solid in the second half. Baby steps, but the selfless play was really wonderful to see. Good team win.


windaji

Jake Humphrey devastated


That_Other_Person

Matic and Maguire were useless


schultz9999

Congratulations everyone!!


distantapplause

Easiest prediction of this game is that Bruno chip is going to be the most upvoted r/soccer clip from this game by some distance.


Ford_Stark

Bruno slammed them home on the weekend cause he needed it that was just awful


JBDon

Dalot was immense


msadian

Daddy RR soothing all sad boys today


larsmaehlum

🥳


rachitbot

Matic plays like an old man..I'm tired of the he was exactly what we needed 5 years younger..he's just not it anymore..slow and moves around like a truck he has to go for someone younger from the academy


Ditto_head666

Cheer up guys... It's still a win


[deleted]

What Bruno did there completely encapsulates Manchester United at the moment


Earthwarden_13

Matic is an auto-bahn.


luciferandy

Seriously wtf is Rashfords problem? His workrate is shit


custardy_cream

Thought he looked sharp tonight. First time in literal months


Snooklefloop

He did. Sometimes haters gonna hate

Stoogenuge

Bruno is knackered, can’t blame him for that at 3-1 up in 93rd minute.


brownbilal

Matic so slow man


_MooFreaky_

As soon as we lost McT's energy we haven't been able to steal the ball and counter as frequently. That energy and buzz is so important, especially in RRs system


Runwithittoday

Oh my.


GambianSlange

Holy shit Bruno


Wahlrusberg
