Mourinho doesn't have a great record at Old Trafford. 

[Ed Ricketts]

Great 3 points to get. Why can't they play like that every game?

Yeah, you'd wonder.

Very good tempo all night, never let Spurs settle. Rashford was outstanding, off the left is the only place for him.

Hopefully they keep her lit for City at the weekend!

Yep. Hope so too.

They'd need to beat Leicester to help Liverpool to their first championship in 30 years as City won't be there

As a non united fan this is everything that's wrong with united. Rashford clearly had a point to prove to Jose and he'll think he's made it tonite. They'll revert to type and spurs will finish ahead of them

One win won't make Utd a better team, Spurs played in the Champions league final and have been top four for many seasons. Why beating Spurs tonight would anyone think they will automatically get better? Utd have been mediocre, that's why they are in that current position. Reverting to type will be at the weekend and most away games! ( bar Liverpool)

The players obviously busted their eye strings to beat Jose which tells you they are a bunch of overpaid coasters

Rashford has been in good form in recent weeks. Wouldn't have a lot to prove as he was one of the players that Jose regularly praised. The opposite to be said about Martial, Pogba or Shaw.

What's the word on Pogba? Is he actually injured or just waiting till the January transfer window?

A little bit of both.

Rashford's tweet after the game would suggest otherwise. He certainly didn't improve under that regime. He was brilliant last night but he needs to develop and take more of the opportunities he creates. He easily could have had 4/5/6 goals last night. I think there's still further improvement in him. Agree with earlier poster who said he's best on the left. I wanted to see him get a good run through the middle, which he did, and it proved to me anyway that he's better in the wide position. Martial is better through the middle. Ideally these lads would have older, experienced winners guiding them through their early year but they've had to be the leaders from nearly day 1. That's (partially) why you get inconsistency. Why they don't try to play at this tempo all the time confuses me though.....as Waddle said last night it's when they're at their best.

The other gobshite then had to stand in the middle of the pitch shaking hands and hugging all the United players. I hope his own players and supporters enjoyed that.

They were ok in the first half. In the second, bar the peno and Rashford's occasional incursions, they were as ordinary as Spurs, (who had more possession). If that's one of Utd's better performances of the season then it's no wonder why they've languished for so long this season.

United were dominant for the first 65 minutes, after that it was more of a case of protecting what we had. Spurs were really really poor and United should have won far more comfortably.

Thats 9 goals from his last 9 starts and it could easily be 15 goals, looks like the penny has dropped. He got his chance at centre forward and looks like he doesn't have the qualities required to be a really top player whilst he does playing from the left, coming from deeper clearly suits him given his pace. Martial on the other hand isn't convincing me, he has ll the talent in the world but he's got to move more; There's so many instances of him just standing still making it so easy for opponents.

United's results and performances against the top teams have been impressive, its the 10 points from 10 games against mid table and teams in the bottom which is a huge issue. I mentioned this early on in the season and until Pogba gets back United are continue to struggle to control and win those games. I'd like to think Pogba will be moved on but whilst he's here he's a huge upgrade on Pereira who's way out of his depth. Fred did so much right last night but didn't cover himself in glory for the goal and needs to cut out the odd daft pass but his ability to get around the pitch is second to none and it helps having McTominay next to him and not Pereira.

United have Everton & Newcastle at home and Watford & Burnley away during December, he needs to do better against these teams then he's done so far and if he's still in the job come January he needs to bring 2 players in. He left himself short at the start of the season and its cost him points and potentially his job.

He reminds me of a young Lucas at Liverpool. Does so much right and loads of effort but has lapses that undo all the good work he's done. But Lucas managed to mature into a great player when he cut out the mistakes despite all the abuse he got. What age is Fred?
