Turgid again from United. Bruno looks a shadow of the player he was this time last year, something seriously wrong in the Utd changing room.
every game looks like that now, really bad , in reality if you could off load 8/9 of that team you would in a heart beat

Donny gets 90 minutes at Everton and looking the part.

I know it's not the theatre of dreams and the heady levels expected at Utd, but a supportive manager and culture seems to help.  ;)

He is a much better player than fred and mcTominay

His quality has never been in doubt and exactly why United fans wanted to see more of him. Utdjust have had such a porous defence and managers who havent been able to solve that, so he has suffered with the 2 holding midfielders being prioritised.

I still would have started him in one of those slots and persevered with it until it came good, he is too good a player for it not too.

Way, way too hasty with this.

If history tells us one thing, it's that midfielders who aren't good enough for Man Utd will have a little bright spell after joining Everton, before falling off the cliff a season or two later.
.

See Phil Neville, Darron Gibson, Tom Cleverly, Morgan Schneiderlin, Jesper Blomqvist.

Saw a snippet of a video of Neville saying something about players/agents going behind the managers back...what's that all about? Anyone know who it was?

Not basing it off anything to do with one game at Everton, basing it on his form and style for Ajax. He is a talented footballer and one that should have been given a chance.

In terms of the agents I would imagine it will be some of those running down their contracts.

Win and a rare clean sheet the performance a mixed bag although Brighton are a tough team to play against and had lost just once away this season and drew in Anfield and Stamford Bridge.

United was still wasteful with chances created with Ronaldo, Bruno and Sancho missing good goal scoring opportunities. Could have been a more comfortable win if any of those chances was taken.

The commentary team and pundits regularly mentioned about Uniteds lack of pressing at 0-0 while barely gave a mention to Uniteds pressing that forced Brighton into errors for the opening goal and sending off.

It's good to have the bandwagon stuff but the reality is this, they are poor, and not cynical at al.

When those chances are not take it leaves you open, 7th at best

They're in a bad state.  It's going to take a root and branch approach through the club to get them back to challenging again.  Big clear out of players needed and start again with a new intake who will fit a style of play.

Serious stink of dunk in Man U dressing room. Pogba, Lingard, Fernandes, Rashford, Ronaldo and Greenwood have a horrible attiude on and off pitch. Then you have McGuire as captain. Terrible appointment and is no need leader.

Helix.

Made hard work of that win today but deserved it nonetheless. Finally getting a goal from a corner. Feared another capitulation once Leeds equalised. Great to see Elanga with the finish after having a coin f**ked at him from the stand for Fred's goal.

Hopefully they turn up against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday night.

Good win and good spirit shown to bounce back after conceding the lead, but they are still far to easy to play against.

Even after the 3rd goal Leeds were able to pick two passes through the midfield and middle of the defence. McSauce just runs around like a headless chicken, really needs some intelligence in there beside him to get to have some positional and tactical sense.

Athletico Madrid not starting Griezeman or Suarez tonight, they are on the bench. United should have no problems

No where near that level, but it f they manage to keep the score low they might have a chance at home. But they let too many goals in
