Up to 6th, should make a good push for Top 4 now.

A very good win and they played some great football at times. Hojlund seems to have settled in well now. Martinez now out injured and Maguire is always a worry when he plays. Has a number of clangers in him. Doubtful they'll get anywhere near top 4.

Martinez has a touch of the Naby Keita about him. Seems to spend half his time in the treatment room.

Top 4 or 5 chances will be much harder task if Martinez is ruled out for the rest of season. Totally different team with him in the side and no like for like replacement.

Hojlund 21 (yesterday) Garnacho 19 and Mainoo 18 are three young players to build the team around in the years ahead.

A win there would give momentum for the first time in ages.

Reports there now on twitter saying he's out for 6-8 weeks. Not as bad as some thought but still a massive blow

[Armagh18]

Pity as he's probably the most important player. 3 young players flying at the minute which is great to see.

[NAG1]

Tough one for Martinez as he was just showing his importance to the team in the last couple of games. Hopefully it is not as long as the reports, I was fearing the worst for him seeing the replays.

Top 4 challenge is on now for sure, with the money they've spent it's theirs to lose really.

Yes it's theirs to lose. 5 points behind would be crazy to lose 4th place ...

Can you imagine a team two points in front and losing?

Proper wasters I'd say

Thought ETH bringing McTominay on was very negative especially when Rashford looked to have the beating of Cash without standing out but mctominay for all his faults has a good habit of scoring. Not a bad habit to have.

If the 5th place gets a champions league spot then Utd are bang in it if they show some consistency. Villa look like they could crumble.


I was worried about Hojlunds lack of goals but he's starting to come good. Long may it continue.

Maguire deserving Motm

Also luke shaw a fantastic player when fit but he's become so unreliable with injury. A new LB is needed to help manage the load because I don't know what is wrong with Malacia.

[Cunny Funt]

Hard earned win away to 5th place Villa and even the much criticised Onana played big part in that win.

Led the contest for 50 minutes then gave away a bad goal by failing to clear the ball and leaving Luiz totally unmarked in the box. Match winner a great cross and header, McTominay has proved to be a decent impact sub this season.

Tottenham should finish 4th and that win keeps hopes of finishing 5th alive but will be harder to do without Martinez and today Shaw had to go off injured at half time.

[lurganblue]

Utd took their chances and villa didn't. I think Villa dominated large parts of the game but when they were turned over Utd looked very dangerous... especially Garnacho. Injuries have really caught up with villa and Kamara going off looks like another blow. That win is a big swing towards Utd getting 5th.

[GJL]

What's the craic with Champions league qualification. Does 5th get you in?
