@lauriewhitwell Final stage of evolution would be to not retreat into their shell like at 2-1. At that point Fulham’s second was inevitable.

Back-to-back weeks of #MUFC summoning a winner after being pegged back. Says something to their resilience + creativity. Top finish by Sesko, needed that after hitting post. Superb spin + hit. Three wins in a row for Carrick, energy at final whistle each time.

@sampeoples_ what's going on with Yoro

No Lammens yet, Maguire & De Ligt keeping their spots. But Cunha, Mbeumo and Sesko together for the first time, I’m buzzing about that.

@SmnLlyd5 Bruno is the worst

I’m very worried about Mainoo now. I admire the manager sticking to what he believes but I cannot understand how a player of his calibre can be overlooked so often, even with a couple of players missing

@R_o_M Dalot 0 contribution, 10 high-fives

So sloppy from Dalot to lose the ball. No idea why De Ligt leaves it. And why have we got Ugarte on instead of Kobbie?

@Ankaman616 Im getting flashbacks from last season. No ball control in midfield. Bruno stinker. Amad below average.

Bayindir has had a solid first half but he's been vulnerable at the back post for every Fulham corner now. Really concerning.

@AdamCrafton_ Bruno should have been subbed

Amorim seems determined to try everyone in central midfield except for Mainoo. Becoming a curious situation.

@R_o_M Mbuemo showing signs but still a bit timid. Mount okay but rather a striker instead. Bruno a liability in that position.

Such a frustrating first half. United the better team by some distance. Then give away a sloppy corner and then the defending was shite. Proper gift of a goal. Cunha a real threat. Arsenal look rusty. Take advantage second half please. Get Sesko on.

@AmorimEra_ Also his only signing is dorgu. Way too soon to judge.

All the Amorim out noise again from that section of the fanbase. I don’t know how this game changes anything in your judgement. It’s all down to the Europa League. If we’re this bad in the league next season then it will be unacceptable and questions could rightfully be asked.

@samuelluckhurst Thought it was lindelof with the pass into chris then running the opposite direction from the assist

A sucker punch and a superbly-worked goal from Newcastle. Ugarte's passing in Lyon was so poor and he played #mufc into trouble there. Familiar story for United: they don't take their chance and the opponent does.

@AlexCTurk He’s dumb

This is genuinely a make-or-break tie for Andre Onana at United now. He’s playing with fire with the initial comments about *this* team being better than Lyon. Those Lyon players will be using that as fuel. But to fire back at Matic like that BEFORE the war? He has to perform.

@lauriewhitwell We need a captain to relieve Bruno. Such a bad example. Showing petulance on teammate errors. Losing head with referee. Defensively back-footed. Major issue with this team that inhibits other leaders.

Display containing much good ends in frustration. Game turned on penalty + Onana's save at end - push away - was important. One of Zirkzee's best games, De Ligt near faultless, Casemiro covered well. Hojlund sad going off, no shots again. Garnacho took five - too many. #MUFC

@centredevils @NathSalt1 Forget entire. Can he score one.

🚨🚨| NEW: The feeling among some internally at Manchester United is one of sympathy for Rasmus Hojlund, as he should not be shouldering the entire goalscoring burden in the strikers’ room at a club the size of Manchester United. [@NathSalt1]

@TheEuropeanLad “Make sure you smile and look happy Marcus”

@Muppetiers He seems slow this year

Honestly, the Mainoo 10 thing has to end. It does NOT work against PL clubs. Lot of people will criticize for it now when they clamored for it earlier. It’s so obvious when Garnacho comes on and plays direct what’s missing from the front line the rest of the game.

@AndyMk_83 easier to relax over there i guess

Bit weird that Rashford would rather go rent a gaff in Birmingham than run around a bit in training for the club he loves so much.

@JamieJackson___ Hi Jamie, reckon its time to scrutinize the players a bit more since they're the common denominator here? they seem to get an easy ride, with a major assumption that a decent manager could change their tune. Maybe its them that need changing...

Struggling - with a capital S - to see much difference between Ten Hag's plucky boys and Rubes's plucky boys...

@SmnLlyd5 Yeah I just wish it was more anger than petulance

No issue with Bruno Fernandes moaning at officials. If anything, United players don’t moan enough. All the best teams are very adept at doing it and getting calls. In the VAR era (I know today is VAR-less), I’m convinced a lot of reviews come about because of player reaction

@AdamCrafton_ we have enough lazy players

Not a Sancho lover but I wonder whether Amorim might like him as an option in that left sided attacking position?

@lauriewhitwell Well done Laurie. No bullshit, straight up facts.

Marcus Rashford’s absence from #MUFC side can be traced to a conversation Ruben Amorim had with him about a night out within 48hrs of the Everton game. Lacklustre performance in training the day before derby another factor. ⬇️ nytimes.com/athletic/60356…

@AdamCrafton_ Rashford is poisonous. Shouldn’t even be on the bench for me. Faker

I don’t have an issue with Amorim position overall re Rashford, but what was the point of rashford being in the squad to then not be used? No academy kid to be put in with a positive vibe if you’re not going to use him?
