That should be top 4 in the bag.

Utd must be looking at some sort of record for the amount of times coming from behind to win in one season.

Game of two halves that match was tonight. Well organised Brighton deserved their 1st half lead while United stepped it up 2nd half for a hard earned win.

11 points ahead 5th of now with 8 games to play, a more and decent position to be in.

Decent 2nd half performance. Rashford finished his goal well. Hopefully that Greenwood goal can be a kick up the arse for him and he gets some of the form from last season back. Utd really need him back to his best.

Boycey

Does Greenwood really need a kick up the arse or just the understanding that he's a 19 year old kid who's just finding his way and is bound to be inconsistent?

Rich Ricci

Well it's no coincidence that his form has dropped since the Iceland episode and being caught on video inhaling laughing gas so aye I would say that he would.

That's a little misleading. Both Everton and West Ham can move into top 4 if they win their games in hand so the gap is potentially only 8 points and Utd have some hard games left. I expect them to make it but I don't think it's as clear cut as BT were suggesting last night. I think the top 4 particularly 4th could be really tight.

That's a snapshot of where Utd and Utd fans are at the minute. We're a minimum of 8 and possibly as many as 11 points clear of 4th with 8 games to go yet there is still that nagging doubt... It really should be as clear cut as BT were saying last night, but.......

4th from now would be a woeful finish to the season. Should be aiming for a comfortable second and the Europa League.

That's sort of the point

If we could win the Europa league then 2nd or 4th in league is irrelevant in my opinion. We will need to rest players if we do manage to progress in europe and  So blooding youngsters in some league games wouldnt be a bad thing.

United need to invest. Apart from Fernandes, its basically been the same side for two seasons. You look at the business done last summer and none if the purchases have been a regular in the team.

Lingard on form for West Ham tonight. Do Man Utd cash in in the summer or take a chance on him ?

Would echo. Playing brilliant but prob get extra 10-15 million.  You often see footballers suddenly play well when looking for new contract or club. Theo Walcott always had habit of playing well when contract was near expiry.

Would be a good leverage now to get Rice. They have a player that we want, and we have a player that I'm sure they would be keen on having.
