Martial makes a huge difference though.

Solskjaer team has developed a habit of knocking Chelsea out of cup competitions in Stamford Bridge. Some goal by Rashford to win it.

Clever win tonight away to a Chelsea side full of talent. Unreal free kick from Rashford.

McTominay was the best player on the pitch last night, stood out a mile as the best midfielder on show. I'd like to think he'll continue to improve, already there's been a huge difference between performances last season and this. He looks like he's got excellent leadership qualities too, looking like its one less midfielder to find. Fred has done better and has great workrate but he's got to offer more on the ball, gives it away too easily for a player who only looks to make basic passes; When we signed him I was expecting him to be technically gifted from what I read which unfortunately has been the opposite.

Ole has got a lot of stick but once again he got it tactically right and even when Chelsea equalised he changed it again which put United on the front foot. There's a long way to go yet but I do hope he's backed in January. United were heavily linked with Mandzukic last summer and I'd imagine United will try and bring him in on loan in January; He offers something totally different to what we've got which I think is what we need and would be capable of scoring goals. A midfielder is a must, I hope they stay well clear of Eriksen as he'll mess them about; He's got 6 months left on a contract so a player of his calibre on a free is going to appeal to most of the top clubs on the continent.

Maguire has done so much right the past 2 games, completely been in control and his use of the ball has been excellent but looked anything like a top centre half for both goals we've conceded.

At least we've had a positive week for the first time since the opening week of the season.

So he's been in complete control apart from the 2 times he wasn't in complete control and conceded goals??

Three away wins in a row now!!! I hope they haven't used up their quota. Tough one today against Bournemouth. I predict a 1-1 draw.

Awful again today. Once I see Ashley Cole in the squad it's a bad day. At least his yellow card means a suspension.

Played alright 1st half and probably deserved to be leading not Bournemouth at half time. Another soft goal conceded due to lack of concentration in defence. To turn things around 2nd half leaders was required and apart from McTominay in patches United have none. That's defeats to West ham,Palace,Newcastle and now Bournemouth this season and the worst part is none of those teams needed to play well to beat United.

Job done in the group stages of EL by reaching the knockout stages with 2 games to spare. Not convinced if United are good enough to win the competition but a few decent signings in January might change that.

Tonights win could come at a cost if McTominay agurably Uniteds best player this season is out injured for a few games.
