Big 15 mins for Utd now, they have been 2nd best today. Would be a big win if managed to get the 3 points.

[J70]

Wolves need to learn to play the whistle.

Completely switched off and conceded there.

[Capt Pat]

United lucky to get the win there. That shot frm Greenwood wasn't going in until the goalie touched it. At the other end Saiss kicked the ball at De Gea to make De Gea look like a hero with the save.

Utd get the run of the referee decision today after feeling hard done by last week. Oles team still able to grind out the results in games where they deserve little.

[GJL]

That was a steal! 

[Cunny Funt]

So this group of United players and management has broken the unbeaten away record, remarkable!

As hard earned win as you can see in the PL and big thank you to Wan-Bissaka for his goal line clearance 1st half and DeGea double save 2nd half for that.

3 goals in 3 games for Greenwood he certainly shouldnt be dropped for Ronaldo. The issues in midfield remain, Fred is a sub option at best not a regular starter. Pogba as a holding midfielder in a slow Serie A or international level is fine but it's not a role for him in a high paced and pressured PL.

It'll be interesting to see who leaves by tomorrow's transfer deadline. For all the incomings with Ronaldo surely there will be 2-3 out the door. Diallo loan seems to have fallen through with injury. James or lingard who knows. Hard to see Henderson make a claim after COVID and de gea coming back to some form.
Interested to hear your thoughts on it.

With regards Ronaldo I'll wait for a few performances against the main defenders in the big games. He's 36 after all, while possibly the fittest 36 year old in the PL he'll struggle against the better defensive teams.

Ronaldo at 36 could still rip any defender in the PL a new one.

No he couldn't

Hes either the best or second best player ever to kick a ball. He'll tear up the pl

You forgot the "in my opinion" part.

The other Ronaldo was better!

The fat one was amazing

The biggest difference in them is that the fatter, original one behaved pretty much as 99.9% people would with a gif given sporting ability. The latter, personality devoid one's career has been a result of having an application and drive that so very few of us would have. And that's why he's the better player.

[Armamike]

I'm coming at in terms of natural ability rather than application or longevity.  For me the original Ronaldo had more natural ability.  Moutinho said more or less the same lately - he worked with him at Barca under Bobby Robson. It's a bit like the Maradona v Messi or Ronaldo debate again around quality and record over a number of years.

Brazilian Ronaldo was brilliant but too much of a good time Charlie like Ronaldinho

Christiano Ronaldo is older then Rooney and Rooney is retired. Ronaldo looked after himself and dedicated

[BennyCake]

Ronaldo will be  37 in February. He could easily play until he is 40 (end of 2024/25 season). He clearly looks after himself really well,  and his game has changed in recent years which should help add to his longevity
