A youthful Arsenal deserved a draw out of that lifeless game however Wenger in his last game in Old Trafford was beaten in Fergie time. That's champions league football secured for Manchester United now with three games to play a big improvement from last seasons 6th place finish.

Nice to see us winning in Fergie time. Shouldn't have needed to start with 2 defensive midfielders against that young Arsenal side.  Let them off the leash for the last few games FFS when 2nd place is in the bag. 
Very classy touch from United for Wenger's last game at OT.

Very disappointing return from Liverpool and Spurs.  Usually a banker 6 points from both.

Non event yesterday but a winning is a good habit so can't grumble. Once again we have to listen to the tripe from Sky Pundits telling us Spurs are a better team, the league table doesn't lie and last weeks result disproves ttat theory. Smalling again was poor yesterday, thought Lindelof did well though.

You said a few weeks back that the United squad was on a par with City's squad. So if the league table doesn't lie how do you explain United being 16 points behind City?

Hard to judge Lindelof, at times he has looked ordinary enough but I think there is a decent player in there somewhere.

Just wondering what JM has in mind for the squad over the summer. We can all speculate as to what the squad needs but he is the man who has to make it happen.

They have simply been more consistent, whereas United effectively ruined their challenge with the points lost at Christmas.

City have been brilliant had an remarkable season and United haven't been good enough. A lot of this City team have been in the title race the last years whilst United have only made the top 4 once in the previous 4 seasons.

What is the story with Bailly? Is he injured? I think he could be an excellent CB if he could stay fit and playing.

So the league table doesnt lie expect where United are 16 points off the top, then it does lie...ok got it.

Agree on Lindelof although done ok since xmas when he's got a game. I'd be more than happy to see Smalling shipped out to be replaced by Alderwiereld.

Is that one on the cards? I am not sure if he would move, unless the wage structure there was holding him back. New stadium on the way and more investment into the Spurs squad will make poaching any of their players that bit more difficult this summer.

Alderweireld is a good as gone, Pochettino has treated him in the same disgraceful way as he did Walker last year.  Alderweireld would be some signing.
