I find it incredible that Jose is singled out for spending big when Pep has assembled the worth of two or three extremely expensive world class forward lines across town. Football at the top level is about spending big, that is the cost of admission to the big boy club.

Yeah strange that the media are picking on the manager who is the guts of 20 points off the pace and not the manager that is playing
exciting football and running away with the league.  ::)

And how a manager of spurs and Liverpool who are further behind, plus worse off goal difference are loved! Though I do like those managers
Jose is a w**ker so of course he is a focus.

One inherited a team that had already won two titles recently with many key members still at or near their playing peaks. What Jose found, when he arrived at United, was a mess due to late era Fergie batshit planning and two poor managers. Not even close to like-for-like.

How many members of the City 13-14 squad are still involved - Silva and Fernandino?? Kompany has been a bit part player this season.
Pep has rebuilt the squad. Yes he's spent a lot but unlike Mourinho's scatter gun approach to transfers he's identified what he needed
and bought accordingly. Think most United fans realise at this stage that Jose is a self serving chancer. If he's still there past this summer I'd be amazed.

LVG's approach could be described as scattergun, but not Jose's. Pogba hasn't hit the heights but he has been a key element to Utd as the W/L record with and without him in the team shows, Lindelof is as of yet unproven and will be a different player next season, and the only real flop has been Mkhitaryan. He has bought 3/4 players each window that strengthened the team, preferring to spend on quality rather than quantity.

It's all a big commie media conspiracy

GJL

"He can't score in big games". 💪🏻💪🏻

Decent performance and brilliant result. Takes a bit of the top 4 pressure off and should boost the team's confidence. Lukaku was immense.

Still key members by the looks of it

Happy for Lukaku. I've a feeling Ibrahimovic's imminent return hit Lukaku's confidence but he looks to be rolling now. He just needs to cut loose and let his athleticism and power do the damage it always threatens to. Like a lot of the team he appears shackled at times but today was a lot better. Sanchez good today too. And Lingard's goal record in big games is unreal. I remember people questioning LVG's sanity when he put him in the team....at least he got that one right.

Decent Sunday's entertainment  a bit like a normal Sunday at the club where the reserves are the first match on before the Seniors appear and you see some proper football! 😀😀

Sevilla hammered 5-2 at home yesterday by Atletico. Got 2 goals in the last 5 minutes but we already 5-0 down.

Maroon Manc

Quiet in here, United must have won.

A great result especially considering United were behind, our record after going behind is poor especially against good opposition.

A poor 1st half but better in the 2nd half, Martial woeful but better from Lukaku, his goalscoring record in big games doesn't worry me its his performances.
