Man Utd Thread:

Now that was a finish.  4 English teams in last 16.  Who would you like a crack at?

Liverpool

Can't profess to love PSG too much, great win for United.

But to call that a penalty? In the last minute, of the biggest competition in the World?

Outrageous - Shambolic decision. PSG have been done here.....but will find sympathy in short supply one suspects.

True, hard to feel worry for them, yet sympathise we must. By far the better team over the 2 legs, and were done last night by a howler from a keeper (whatever about Tuchel, Buffon won't be there next season), and the worst peno decision I've ever seen. Absolutely no way or intention to handle the ball. United scarcely had an attack in the second half, and the penalty should have been their first corner of the half.

Still, considering the scratch team MU had out, it was some result. It could also be a bad one though, as it may actually make top-4 qualification a bit harder, if they now divide their concentration between the league, cup and CL. A result that surely guarantees the OGS will be in charge next season, which means that inside 24 months, MU fans will be wondering who the next manager is going to be.

Look not a word out of anyone about VAR after the 1st leg, Kimpembe should have been sent off twice

As for luck about time we got some in Europe. We had some plenty of it against Bayern in 99 but we battered Dortmund in 97, let Real Madrid of the hook in 2000 when we were the better team over both legs and then Leverkusn in 2002 when we threw it away, On to Port in 04 when an appalling decision stopped us going 2 up, then in 2010 we were easily the best team over 2 legs against Bayern and had no luck that night either then there's the red card Nani got in 2013 which turned the game when were ahead in the tie.

We deserved that bit of luck last night.

But in 2008, Chelsea hit bar and post.

The one that really got away was 2004. And had United beat Porto, we might never have heard from Jose again.

[Maroon Manc]

Should have buried Chelsea before that. Porto and Bayern in 2010 are the 2 worst as we'd have the really top teams in Europe to win it in both years.

Lukaku has taken a lot of stick from most of us but he's been so important the last week. He won't be going anywhere if he keeps this up.

Apart from the bun run. In all fairness, credit were it is due and all that, he showed a real ability to put away those two chances that were laid on a plate for him last night.

Read the rules. It was a stonewall penalty. Dalot knew it and so did Kimpembe.

If that was a stonewall penalty, the law is an ass.

Fair play to united. solid at the back and scored 3 well worked goals through excellent attacking play.

Up to City or Barca to stop them now securing their 4th title at the height of European football.

He extended his arms out beyond the natural silhouette and made himself unnaturally bigger. That is considered intention under the laws. What was going through the player's mind doesn't matter.

What??

The lad jumped to turn his arse to the shot. His arm was exactly where it is supposed to be when making such a move. There was nothing unnatural about his movement at all.

Patience,well organized and clinical is how i would describe that United win last night. If they went toe to toe with a team of the quality of PSG it would have been a comfortable win for them, huge concentration was needed in defence when a team has that amount of possession against you and when chances came by United had to be clinical enough to take them.

Once Dalot came on United were far harder to break down and apart from the Mbappe chance that went on to hit the post from Bernat they had no clear cut chance to score in that 2nd half. The penalty according to the rule book was the correct call, The bit of luck would be having VAR in place and that it came off the arm of kimpemble who should have been suspended for that match last night.

The improvement Lindelof has made from the nervous,weak looking defender that arrived at the club is something else and Shaw continues to excel at left back when not so long ago he was totally written off as making at United. McTominay is another example of the manager getting the best out of his players, He filled in for the Matic in the central defensive midfield role was probably MOTM last night.

As for the next round Ole has habit for pulling out the short straws in these draws so probably Barcelona or Man City but as Ole said mountains are there to be climbed.

Let's face it, majority of Utd fans (and I am one) would have been livid had that penalty been given against them last night.  Referees only going by directive but I think the powers that be seriously need to look at the rules again.  A possible penalty hadn't even crossed my mind until they went to VAR!

[Bord na Mona man]

Of course it is a harsh penalty, but that's the way referees have been told to interpret it.
Players are going to have to adjust. The days of turning your arse towards the ball with your arms loose are gone.
