Kobbie Mainoo, wow just wow. Easily one of his best performances this season. Most dribbles completed, elite in evading pressure, defensively solid, + robbed off an assist. An absolute masterclass in display and such a joy to watch. Only 20, getting better each game. Flow state.

Fans will probably be a bit miffed that VAR John Brooks intervened for a violent conduct red card for Lisandro Martinez for a bit of a hair pull. But decided Gabriel pushing his forehead into Erling Haaland's face was "not excessively aggressive or violent".

Kobbie Mainoo controlled that game against extremely expensive midfielder. So good to see him back playing and developing.

Not even a week apart Same referees, different decisions. Welcome to the Premier League. 👏👏

All the players they used their wealth to sign now seeing them as a stepping stone, had to become apologists for Saudi region, saw their kit colour changed, they never quite did get Lionel Messi selling the pies… but at least they won a League Cup

Clear red.

Manchester United's players have been warned they'll be banned for up to 18 games if they breath air during the remaining fixtures. It's a new rule introduced this week. It will apply to United, but not opponents.

Match suddenly upside down. Maguire with a hand on Evanilson that was lighter than Amad received for his penalty claim - but this time adjudged foul + red. Can’t square those calls. #MUFC

Lewis Hall has to be a priority signing in the summer. I like Luke Shaw but he’s just not at the level anymore, you can see it in these really physical away games.

@SullyTalkz Quite simple really. When we play high and he has to do a lot of recovery runs, 1v1 defending, he’s fantastic. When the game is in front of him or we sit deep, he lacks sufficient aggression which you get from someone like Harry. Horses for courses.

I'm gutted with the result and overall performance but shoutout to Leny Yoro because his cameo was nothing short of outstanding. This is a lesson to never write a young player, of his quality off. 20 years of age and his potential is scary. He'll only get better as time passes.

@Ellis_ It’s been the case for a great number of summers…

We absolutely have to cash in on Diogo Dalot in the summer.

I’ve held off saying it but he just is the best player in the league. Not even KDB or Salah have transformed a team the way he has. Crucify me.

This sums up Bruno Fernandes.

One hill I’m willing to die on is that Bruno Fernandes belongs at the same table as De Bruyne as one of the best No. 10s the Premier League has ever seen. The biggest difference in their league legacies is the clubs they’ve played for.

Mainoo is so so good Amorim should be sacked again
