And also - why not take Pogba off the thousand or so times he didn't track a player?

Cos he wasn't sent on 6 mins before with that very instruction? Bad result as they played well for long periods but I'd be most concerned that United failed to find the net again. Ferguson would be scoring bagfuls with that squad.

OK - why not do something then when someone doesn't do their job and stop a goal after 11 seconds which they'd apparently studied. Guy's a hypocrite, liar and bluffer.

Pogba isnt a box to box midfelder and I dont think will ever be.

Exactly. Should never be picked there.

Its very important United buys a midfielder who complements both Pogba & Matic this summer, would imagine someone in the mould of Mordric or Kross not that these are available.

Some of the criticism Pogba gets is over the top and Mourinho has to take some of the blame, he was dreadful the other night but has been brilliant for us for most of the season.

I'm far more concerned with Lukaku's display especially when you compare it to Kane. Lukaku has to start improving otherwise he'll be moved on. Their were signs in recent weeks he was starting to improve but that performance was very worrying.

Chong in the u23's looked the part the other night, considering he was out for a long time with a bad injury he's been brilliant since he returned.

for me Lukaku is still my biggest worry along with Matic, i think the two of them have been really poor lately, particularly Lukaku.

The game opened up so much when Fellani came on, Midfield was totally non-existent, had just said to my son that he was totally useless and i dont think he had even touched the ball, so i wasnt really that surprised to see him being taken off again.

Also i would persevere with Shaw ahead of young.

I don't think Lukaku is really good enough to lead the line for Utd. He was however, the best we could have done in the summer, and we were in desperate need of a striker. I think he will be moved on in a couple of years whenever another option is realistically available.

I have a feeling Sanchez will be an enormous flop. Moreso than Di Maria.

Yea because like Di Maria he has no experience of the Premier League. Oh wait....

Wonderful article about the Busby Babes framed around a game they played as juniors in 1951 in Jimmy Murphy's homeplace in the Upper Rhondda Valley in South Wales. Murphy's father had moved there to work in the coal mines from Ireland before he was born. And, yes, even the Daily Mail have a few good journalists..

Be interesting to see hoe Pogba reacts to being dropped.

Functional today.

So Jose picks the Munich anniversary to have a pop at the United supporters again. What a complete and utter sc**bag. Well done to MUST for a thoughtful and measured response. Something Mourinho could learn from. He's a disgrace.

He has said it before and is 100% correct.
Not sure why Munich anniversary should put an embargo on fair comment.
