Wrong.

On Twitter:

"United did well tonight against Juventus they’re just lacking intelligence, leadership, passion, fitness, desire, strategy, a right back, midfielder, fit striker, selfless manager and CEO".

Good win.

How was the match official?

Im not sure why Silva stayed on for the whole match with Spurs coming up.

Excellent result and performance so many positives don't know where to start.
We're in great shape to give spurs a good spanking on Monday.

Eddie keeps his clean sheet.

Happy with that.

That was so much easier than I expected and I was never feeling as uncomfortable as Carl or Nidge were.

I hate picking on the guy especially tonight but I think insisting on putting Mahrez out right and dropping Sane as a result unbalances our attack. He’s so predictable.
Never takes his man on down the outside.

Compare that to Raheem on the left. They don’t know which way he’s going to go.

I really think we are only starting to rev our engine. When we get all our ex-injured up to full tilt, I think we have another couple of gears to go through.

And am I imagining it or is our defence getting better. I thought the communication across the back four was excellent. Always cover when one would get caught out.

Can’t complain about that tonight. Excellent work.
