I thought the ref did very well and had the bottle to make sound decisions in the face of hostility. He got the major decisions right, re the 3 or 4  dives/simulation in the box by Man u players in vain attempts to fool the ref. What an injustice that would have been for Hull to lose via a cheat.

Man U were just rubbish and Hull were very good, a good football team. Man u were tactically inept, couldn't use the width of the pitch, were cautious, slow and laboured, in complete  contrast  to the defiant and dynamic teams Mourinho managed before Madrid.
I think Mourinho's undermining Martial just like he undermined Hazard at Chelsea and for what purpose  -  not the club.
Mourinho is an out and out narcissist, he's more concerned by how he's treated on the sideline than about what happens on the pitch. He's upset of course that the poor result makes him look bad, that the players make him look inept, it's all about Mourinho, it's always all about Mourinho and not the club. He's boxed himself into a tight corner now just like he did at Madrid and Chelsea.

Yep, its all about Jose. Always is.

Speaking of that, he doesn't look well. Mourinho I mean. His new haircut or something doesn't suit him. I thought he looked ill when I saw him the other night. I get the feeling he's not really enjoying football that much any more.

I personally think he underestimated the job and is struggling with it. He doesn't look a happy man right enough.

To me he hasn't looked right since he returned back to England second time around, he just looks mentally drained and full of negative energy. The way it ended at Real Madrid has affected him imo. I remember him calling himself the happy one when he came back, when he has looked anything but happy.

Yeah I thought he looks under huge pressure and thinks the world is against him in most of his interviews.

I'd say he's finding it tough that his old club are doing so well without him and it makes it look like he was the problem for them last year. Utd have gone under a lot of change since Fergie left with only De Gea and Zlatan really showing consistent form all year with Pogba, Rooney and Martial all struggling to put a good run of games together.
With Spurs, Liverpool and Man City all with top managers now I think the pressure if telling on Hose A as he doesn't like having to settle for 2nd best.

He doesn't have any new ideas

Mourinho's wife had a couple of operations although not sure on the severity of it and his dad has been seriously ill for a while now, who knows how this has affected him.

Ibrahimovic has been.involved in over 50% of Man Utd's goals
The club is overly dependent on one player.

That sort of result has been coming for a while. Good to see the goals flowing. Time to gain a place or 2 on the table now though. Sick of 6th.

Didn't see a lot of it today due to a few unforeseen events but a good result and performance by all accounts. Leicester are in big trouble though and (maybe I'm being greedy) there should have been a few more goals in it in the end.

Did he change the formation and put Rashford up top with Ibrahimovic? That's a welcome development in my eyes.

As for moving up from 6th - next weekend might be a good chance unless Liverpool overturn their dismal recent form and beat Spurs.

United only really took control of the game when they switched back to 4-2-3-1 with Ibra up front and Rashford on the wing. Can't see that experiment being repeated.
