A very worrying performance, United outplayed by another promoted team. Its been very obvious since the first few weeks of the season United will struggle against any team that is organised and prepared to let United have the ball, United had 62% of the ball yesterday and 59% against Sheffield United. Its a big week for Ole with Spurs & City coming up, its difficult to make a case for United getting anything from either games unless McTominay & Pogba returns. We lack any sort of cohesion and now defensively look very suspect at the back, Maguire & Wan Bisaka's performance levels have dropped.

I really like Ole but as each week passes its getting harder and harder to make a case for him, he has no real track record in a big league and United have been in free fall since March and with a manger like Pochettino available for free he's obviously now going to be under a lot of pressure; A lot of mates who were prepared to give him time have changed their mind in the last week or so with Poch available and with the 2 really poor performances.

If things dont pick up soon with maybe a loan signing or two in January I can see the board starting to get itchy feet, they clearly have felt that Poch was the man for the job in previous years and his availability heaps the pressure on Ole.

I wouldnt be surprised if they get a pre contract agreement in place with him giving Ole the team until the summer with a more graceful hand over then. Plus they can get Ole to do some of the squad trimming that is required as well prior to then.

Woodward told shareholders he expected United to finish top 4, looks highly unlikely now and even more so come Saturday evening although I do think we've got a decent chance of winning the Europa League. What happens if Ole has a really good end to the season though? Thats why I don't think that would happen.

How long before Woodward tells shareholders that he steps down from his role? Him not allowed to appoint another manager or deal in transfer business and replaced by someone competent should be a way forward for the club.

Square Ball

Utd playing good football at the minute with Spurs starting to come into the game, seen it too often and they can't put teams away when on top.

Great first half an hour from United, as good as they've been all season. Then Alli goes and makes a dick out of Fred and Young and it's all for nothing.

Great 3 points to get. Why can't they play like that every game?

Fully deserved that victory, Spurs were poxed to find themselves level at half time. The not so special one sent back to London pointless. McTominay makes a massive difference to the team. A very frustrating group of Uniteds players who can raise their game against the better sides and lose or draw against mediocre teams.

Mourinho doesn't have a great record at Old Trafford.  ;D

Yeah, you'd wonder.

Very good tempo all night, never let Spurs settle. Rashford was outstanding, off the left is the only place for him.

Hopefully they keep her lit for City at the weekend!

They'd need to beat Leicester to help Liverpool to their first championship in 30 years as City won't be there

As a non united fan this is everything that's wrong with united. Rashford clearly had a point to prove to Jose and he'll think he's made it tonite. They'll revert to type and spurs will finish ahead of them

One win won't make Utd a better team, Spurs played in the Champions league final and have been top four for many seasons. Why beating Spurs tonight would anyone think they will automatically get better? Utd have been mediocre, that's why they are in that current position. Reverting to type will be at the weekend and most away games! ( bar Liverpool)

The players obviously busted their eye strings to beat Jose which tells you they are a bunch of overpaid coasters

Rashford has been in good form in recent weeks. Wouldn't have a lot to prove as he was one of the players that Jose regularly praised. The opposite to be said about Martial, Pogba or Shaw.

What's the word on Pogba? Is he actually injured or just waiting till the January transfer window?
