A man with no ego, he always looked to me as though he carried a great weight on his shoulders.....

I'd say the memories of what he saw in Munich were pretty stark. He saved a lot of lives that day and could only be described as an absolute hero. RIP Harry Gregg

With his passing, only Bobby Charlton, then 18, remains as the sole survivor from that great squad.

RIP Harry Gregg. A great man. Helped out Coleraine FC in later life coaching their goalkeepers.

His story of the crash and afters was harrowing, the memories couldn't have been good for the soul.

Absolutely and losing his wife and daughter to cancer at a young age added to his awful memories. What a legend. Gone but never forgotten.

Great cross by Wan-Bissaka and header by Martial. The only real bit of quality in uneventful half of football. Bailly back after a long lay off and did well in that 1st half

Some joke that McGuire wasn't sent off.

Goal should have stood as well!

Jesus Utd all over Chelsea! Some dive early on, well spotted by ref and carded accordingly

Take that win tonight! Here's hoping get some sort of a winning run over next few weeks!

A first league double over Chelsea since 1988.

A good a much needed win for United in venue that's a real bogey ground for United in the PL. Got a bit of luck on that first Chelsea goal getting disallowed but Williams was pushed to the ground. 2nd goal chalked off was offside.

Great timing for Maguires first league goal. Bruno Fernandes with his first assist and unlucky he didn't score when his free kick came off the post. Ighalo close to a debut goal also.

As for Chelsea they are only 4th because of Uniteds lack of consistency and lucky for them United are unlikely to hit a consistent run of form for the remaining 12 games.

In Ole we trust.

And VAR of course.

VAR works.

Chelsea may feel hard done by, but a push and offside were plain

Which push?

Fred's one on Azpilecueta or the resultant one on Williams.

Ludicrous decision.

On the other hand, I thought the one NOT to send off Maguire was probably justified.
