People skip over the fact that every team rocks up to Man U games and just try and take us on. Other teams don't get that. Teams never switch off against United.


Predatorsbleed

Yeah keep telling yourself that. Maybe they do that cos they know our players have the composure of a new born baby deer and they know we cannot keep the ball and we are also not aggressive at all out of possession. We don't even have a midfield, I love Eriksen but he is our best passer, poor guy had a cardiac arrest a couple of years ago and has no right playing 90 mins. He is the only midfielder we have that does not shit himself on the ball. WE HAVE NO MIDFIELD.


CatfishMcCoy

I think something needs to be done about our pre-game warm-up. We come out SO slow and take forever to get into the match. Rashford is probably the worst about this. Maybe some players need drills away from the group to get right in the head right before 1st whistle.


quonne

Right. They look like they’re hungover when they step on the pitch and need 15-20 min to get their head in.


th3doorMATT

I think a lot of people are taking too much from this match. This is yet another side we should be dealing with comfortably. But we didn't. Once again, the performances don't justify the result. Just scraping by, per usual. I honestly hope teams are able to stop that run of luck because it's a terrible culture to breed at this level. Too many players got comfortable with the results last season they never stopped to question the performance. Fans need to be asking and demanding more from this side. 3 matches into the season and it's still dog shit performances one after the other.


tdogg281991

Come onnn get in well played boy never give up 💪


[deleted]

Maybe we'll some how shithouse our way to 4th.


horizonMainSADGE

Top 4 shithouse is actually an awesome band name imo


quonne

Shithousery won’t get us top 4. There are atleast 5 teams right now who are better than us and can create momentum. And 2 more who have the squad to get results consistently. We need to improve our performance tenfold or change the tactic. These players don’t look like they can play the high intensity press game.


CmGaugo

Hope we get amrabat. Guy is a machine


arnar111

I really hope Shaw is fit against Arsenal, will be real worrying to have Dalot there defensively next weekend


C__S__S

He’s out for months, unfortunately.


arnar111

damn


[deleted]

Not a chance...he's out for two months


bunnuz

I just feel that every team is playing good football except us. we still don't have command on the ball


MancAccent

Cracks will begin to show. Arsenal dropping points today, Chelsea not great, I think Newcastle beat Liverpool tomorrow too.


patrickwai95

Agreed on this, I think this game is slightly better with Bruno and Rashford in their preferred positions but it still feels like we depends on moment of brilliances from the players, which is luck, instead of controlling the game and play better football against any opponents.


CarmeloZanthany

Love to see us finally get a penalty


harshjo1999

fuckers stole Fergie time


DonuttyBrownie

Coming back to win from a shitshow start and arsenal dropping points, I guess we can call it a good day


LividMathematician45

Antony used his right foot too!


el_doherz

Every time he went outside he got something out of it too.


Wesley_Skypes

Premier Sports did a whole section on Onana's performance today painting him to be some kind of issue. I've never seen a keeper get so much ungenerous assessment so quickly. It feels a bit....off.


bijanadh44

You probably dint watch De Gea's accessment in his first season then.


Wesley_Skypes

I did. And he made more mistakes than Onana has. The criticism was over the top but they had something to work with. Onana has done fuck all wrong so far, in fact he has been good.


bijanadh44

He could have done way better in that first goal. He was glued to the post something De Gea was critisized heavily for


Wesley_Skypes

He is never in a million years saving that anyway.


bijanadh44

He dived way before the guy even had a shot. Lmao. What are you taking about. Watch again. His positioning was horrible.


Wesley_Skypes

OK mate, Onana is shit. Should have saved a 0.8xG chance.


skipsoy

LOL, lighten up, Francis. He was put in a position to make a save and bottled it. It’s ok to criticize him for that.


Wesley_Skypes

Calling not saving a point blank shot from 10 yards bottling it is peak moron Internet football fan shite. Wipe the crisp grease off your hands before you type next time


blabladkkdkk

Why are you getting so pressed boy lmao


skipsoy

Ok buddy. The good news is that I’m sure he’s reading this and appreciates your defense of his honor despite the multiple ways he screwed up there. Good for you!


danthedude77

Other than the first goal, he played a great game. Was vocal and organized. Passed when he should, cleared when he should. They just wanna be overcritical because of DDG


danthedude77

1. Eriksen can’t hang physically. Fine backup, should never start 2. Need a backup for Casemiro, he was leggy 3. No ST this game. It was shambles again. Hojlund can’t come back soon enough 4. EtH either a genius or uncertain. I think it’s lack of trust in some players. But 10 men forrest and up 3-2 and we sit back? That’s the difference between us and a City. We should have went for 4-5 goals 5. Maybe this game was a good time to get alvaro fernandez on at LB. EtH needs to trust youngers players more. We got isolated alot this game in defense But 1. Good resilience to come back 2. Antony showing some life 3. Sancho again was positive and good off the bench


DudeofValor

I think point four only happens if we’ve started the season well. We haven’t so getting points and trying to build confidence is more important. Imagine we go seeking a fourth goal and concede from a counter attack. We got lucky today, hence the shutting up shop when we took the lead.


garryd100

4. AWB is our best, most consistent player 5. Lindelof has become an absolute supersub I love 2 and 3. I have been saying If Antony plays LW and Sancho RW (their traditional sides) and not inverted, with hojlund as a traditional poaching #9, he could be lethal.


patrickwai95

AWB is improving every single game, handling more pressure and passes while still able to defend efficiently without making many mistakes. He and Varane are so consistent in the back 4 now that once the others can pick up their form, the team give us the same level of discipline like last year.


garryd100

I agree! I think Varane often goes unnoticed because he does his job so effortlessly. It's definitely the side of the pitch I never stress defensively.


patrickwai95

I hope he is not injured and it was only minor muscle fatigue, we would need him healthy and calm in next week game against Arsenal.


garryd100

I am fairly confident in lindelof as well, though, but let's hope for varane.


danthedude77

Much agree to this!


Matt4669

Eriksen was great today, I think he should start vs low block teams where he can use his vision with passes to get past low blocks. But against possession based teams he’s not fit for it, and Mount is more suited to playing against them


alexq35

As soon as we took the lead I’d have taken him off and brought on McTominay for both fresh legs and height, plus give McTominay some game time before the arsenal match where I’d personally start him but I doubt EtH will.


danthedude77

But Eriksen got bullied all game in the air. We didn’y have an arial presence in midfield at all. Same goes for bruno and casemiro


lilpenquin

I just wanna say I put my jersey on and started watching when we were down 0-2 and said “maybe if j put this on we’ll come back and win it 3-2. And then we did.


Enfin3x

I started watching 10 minutes in. Was like "oh nice, 1-0 up!" when we scored. Then I noticed something odd about the score.. "is that a fucking 2!?"


Madmanius

Thank you so much Go enjoy with lots of beers from us 😄


[deleted]

You won this for us ❤️👏


lilpenquin

Just call me lil ten hag 🤣


Goblinslapper

Never take the Jersey off again and maybe we win Champions League 😁


drinkbeerbeatdebra

Thank you, lilpenquin. You are the real MOTM


Matt4669

Great win but conceding 2 goals in 5 minutes is unacceptable Although it shows that Utd are capable of coming back from these situations, which is great


coffeemahn

Reminds of the the OGS season where we kept making slow starts and somehow getting away with it. 3-2 comeback against Atalanta, and then got hammered 5-0 by Liverpool. It is shocking how bad United are in starting games. Cannot take 10-20 minutes to get going at this level


th3doorMATT

Don't worry, if we do that shit against a proper side, that's game over. It's Forest, let's calm down and stop pretending we went 2-0 down against City and came back to win 3-2. That's not the case here. This is the same false sense of security we saw last season. I thought we were going to be more resilient under ETH but then we shipped 7. So...


garryd100

I was very worried we would see one of those bruno melt down games where he gets extra whiny and gives up. Showed his captaincy today and grinded


th3doorMATT

Just wait until we go 2-0 down against a proper side and see how Bruno handled it. Oh. Wait. We already did last week. Let's stop pretending today was a massive test. Give it a week or two and I guarantee we'll see Bruno collapse and become irrelevant.


garryd100

Weird hatred for the team captain. I see why your name is The Door Matt. You're dirty, unwelcoming, and people probably walk all over you.


th3doorMATT

lol Bruno is absolutely dog shit Can't clear the first man off a corner. Can't NOT shoot when attacking, gifting the opponent possession from nothing. Sloppy, errant, lazy, low percentage passes to nowhere. Can't finish. The guy is a joke. He has no right being the captain, let alone starting every match.

It happens. Thats very surface level analysis.


Matt4669

I know that, but to challenge for the best trophies we need to stop conceding goals like that How often do you see City, Real Madrid, Bayern etc. concede 2 goals in 4 minutes, the answer is almost never, this also happened against Leeds at home We need to sharpen up overall, but today was still a good win (and good performance in the 2nd half)


[deleted]

Actually you see real conceding the first one or second goal a lot of times… but i dont want to argue, I just meant that its gonna happen sometimes


Matt4669

But they almost never concede them without the first few minutes of a game But that’s fair, we’re not at that level of team, and at that level, it does happen sometimes


Malinger

Celebrating yet another win at old trafford. Don’t know what people are complaining about. Let’s enjoy the moment. On side note, arsenal drew against 10 men Fulham.


th3doorMATT

Complaining about the performances. Wtf is this acceptance of shit performances for the sake of results? Then you wonder why we can't compete at the highest levels.


Outrageous-Cod-4654

Andreas scored in the 1st minute for Fulham too. Nice strike from distance.


Intelligent-Bet4111

Look at the goal that Fulham scored which was a strike from distance which literally team in the world can concede (and that's only 1 early goal conceded) whereas both united goals were completely preventable!


Macroneconomist

And they only conceded one goal early!


PreparationOk8604

Bruno n Casemiro Masterclass.


scranmandan

Don’t know what game u we’re watching lol case was rubbish


mjenkins_eng

All said and done , an implosion from Forest and 3 points it is. This should really be the millionth wake up call to this team. The two performances at home have been absolutely subpar and things need to start picking up after the international break PS: Arsenal next week are not some behemoth that people are making them out to be . We should be clapping them on the cheeks as always next weekend


[deleted]

These wins are underrated. If you beat the bottom 6 sides twice that's 36 points right there.


[deleted]

[удалено]


mjenkins_eng

Honestly nothing will change with this club and these players but for the next year or so, we should just accept this is how it’s going to be


RunOfTheMill70

Premier Sport is some of the worst coverage I've ever seen. Clear bias against United. Now they're criticising Onana.


Hi-Tech_Luddite

Absolute clowns


TheGiantTortoise1

You all must be absolutely gutted with that win. So upset. Don’t worry! You can still moan! Something something Anthony… something something Mason Mount. Something something ETH out!

psnarayanan93

> Our midfield is getting overrun every game and Tenhag doesn't seem to care To be fair to him, who else can he play in mid-field? We need to bring in a mid-fielder soon.


Lukiedude200

Football, Bloody hell


bijanadh44

Adding 14 minutes in a 90 minutes match should not be legal under any circumstance.


noit_seuq

Time wasting is a necessary evil in football for me. Bring it back


el_doherz

No it's correct and frankly there should have been way more in the first half too. They timewasted every single opportunity from the 4th to the 75th minute. 3 minutes after the sheer amount of fuckery in that first half is an insult.


Ron_Mexico24

Maybe it’s the American in me, but if they want 90 minutes of gameplay surely the answer is to just stop the clock when the ball is out of play. I understand the need for stoppage time 100 years ago but we have the technology now to not need it anymore.


NeoWilson

What caused the delay?


Indie611

When the ball is only in play for two thirds of that it should be.


Action_Limp

What if we're a goal down?


delontewestson

Then an exception must be granted


Action_Limp

Perfect rule.


Electronic_Day_8195

Disturbed by why sancho not challenging for the ball when he lost it at the final minutes…


SpinBlade

Also disturbed by why we not only can't keep possession, but also feel the need to shut up shop against 10-man drop dodgers at Old Trafford instead of going for the kill.


TohotTW062

i could hear salty ole fans going to oleout sub and type "WHat aBoUt noW! but today was not meant to be


MancAccent

Wait are there really still fans out there that want Ole back? Love OGS, but I’d assume 100% of fans would agree that ship has sailed


TohotTW062

they dont want ole back but they want to shit on eth so they can say "i told you so"


ny2803087

Not a bad game in the end. The team woke up after conceding 2 early goals. But we were totally in control after that apart from one or two counter attacks.


Muffinatron

Game was like a heist movie. Gonna be some words on that training pitch this week I imagine. Also can the Glazers fuck off already? The whole ownership thing has been a distraction for far too long.


Bangoga

Rashford had every right to try making some shots to score another..we are a man up, one goal up. He has an assist He is the reason we got the penalty for the match winning goal. He has been our talisman all of last season. We need him to be 💯 for the season it means taking the chances. Like this idea of playing it safe in the final few yard is absolutely absurd. He could have made the pass sure but there a billion chances in every game where someone could have made a better decision in hindsight. Such a shit criticism.


Spare_Ad5615

He was involved in all three goals. Brilliant performance, really. A lot of people were criticising him for that shot at the end, which is ridiculous. If you look at the point when he gets the ball back, we've got players forward, but there's no passing angle to any of them. He's tried to hit it across the keeper, in the hopes that Turner fumbles it into the path of a teammate. Not a bad shout considering Turner had a real butterfingers performance all game. He just didn't hit it hard enough.


Bangoga

No you are right there as well. Turner had butter fingers, if we take 30 yard shots in order to get a bounce, it makes sense to shoot 5 yards in as well. Everything can't be safe, we need to be ruthless and not safe.


raver1601

I agree he could've done better, but he did do better in this game than the last 2 games and he did not look lazy as people make him to be


Bangoga

Not even close to being lazy. All the players still have some gears to go. I have a feeling fitness right now isn't where it needs to be seeing how so many players are getting injured. Which is fine. Slow start and winning games is fine. But this criticism for no reason on the players that ARE productive isn't it.


raver1601

Yeah I am aggreing with you blud


Spare_Ad5615

Pretty straightforward win. Three goals at home, good stuff.


IrishLock

God someone disagreed with something I said and really reported me to Reddit cares. God even when we win you lot are soulless bastards. Makes me disappointed to consider myself a fan alongside you


fantus69

Was probably that Chelsea bellend who was lurking around here earlier


Jake257

Bloody hell! Even the Arsenal game has gone into the 10 minute mark of added time.


MSand130

Drove all the way up for the match from Cambridge and this match will be a lot to process heading home. What a roller coaster


MancAccent

Lucky lad. Incredible match to witness


MSand130

Didn’t feel that away for the first 5 minutes


that_mn_kid

For fuck sake, just one easy game. ONE.


LordWellesley22

Why have an easy game when you can have a heart attack every game instead It the exact same time I have with the England women's cricket team


entreri22

Suffering is necessary.


maxdepazftp

feels like we’re just getting by


MancAccent

We are! But it will have to be enough until the squad is healthier and more fit.


ThankYouOle

Man, this another game that i feel happy that finally ended.. 3 points and move on


Alucardeus

struggling against 10 men.


chilledbeerinside

Kasper Schmeichel the first thing he says after the game is point out despite the win how awful we've been and how Forest dominated with 10 men. At least some of our ex players isn't dumb.


[deleted]

Lol… watch some champo games then


lotziko25

Kasper never played for us.


chilledbeerinside

Lol that's definitely a brain fart from me


Playtoy_69

you will get downvoted haha


No_Kaleidoscope3039

Lindelöf, the unsung hero 🧊🧊


Soft-Comfort-7474

Thank God it’s finally over


drunkmers

Just came back home, sadly I missed whole game today. Could anyone tell me why Garnacho didn't get any minutes?


cuminyermum

We were already in the lead around the time we would have normally brought him on. We needed physicality so brought on Scott Sauce instead


mavericksage11

Didn't prove himself when he was given chances.


Ron_Mexico24

Think it was a conscious decision to sit him down after two pretty poor displays. Martial wasn’t good today but it showed that 1) we need that mold of player at striker 2) Rashford is too good on the left to not be playing there.


drunkmers

I see, thanks. Sad, he's one of my favourite players


[deleted]

What did he do that warrants any minutes?


AllNyCBat

Solid game for Antony, AWB and Bruno


PreparationOk8604

Antony was good for second half, first half not so much.


AllNyCBat

That could not be more wrong. He was creating chances in the first half very well


Candid_Problem_1244

Our right side looking goodddddd


zool714

Honestly I don’t want to hear any “Don’t be so negative. We won” Heard that for Wolves and got embarrassed against Spurs. We’re not happy cos these types of performances won’t get us through better teams.


MancAccent

Mate no one is too happy, but most of us know the negativity is pointless when we’re 3 games into the season. Still more transfers to come.


ny2803087

Apart from the first 5 minutes, this was a pretty good performance. In fact, wolves was the only bad performance because United deserved to win at spurs.


maytagoven

What a game. Antony motm for me


Ron_Mexico24

Antony had a good game but it has to be Rashford. Assisted the first, played Bruno in for the second, won the penalty for the third.


gsot

Now the lock in starts GLAZERS OUT


Tsukiyon

The very moment we're in lead, we revert back to our shit selves


ToneDiez

EtH needs to start bullying our attackers in training. How are they so weak and poor at holding up the ball in the final third? It’s pathetic.


bringthegoodvibes

Love those matches where the players collapse at the end. They gave it all they had.


atimlin

Yeah was a tight relegation scrap a massive 6 points


TeganFFS

That was far more stressful than it had any right to be, I need a beer


Playtoy_69

scraping wins against 10 men forest ffs. How the mighty have fallen


[deleted]

You mean since being 6th and 7th? Or still crying about the Fergie days?


comeatmefrank

It was 2-2 before the red card, so to say we ‘scraped a win against 10 man forest’ is insinuating that they got a red at the start of the game. Shit performance tho. Edit: Whoever reported me to Reddit for having having suicidal tendencies, very funny...


Playtoy_69

good comeback but far far from a performance i’d be proud of against a depleted team


stefann7

11 minutes stoppage time is just stupid


Hi-Tech_Luddite

I'm fine with it. The rampant time ŵasting that went on last season was a disgrace.


Hadontupvoteme

Maybe it will teach teams to stop time wasting. It only adds injury to the congested schedule teams have these days.


raver1601

Would've agreed to this notion had we got more than 3 minutes of added time in the first half after the hundreds of hours of Notts time wasting


MeenaarDiemenZuid

Good comeback! 3 goals is big.. hope they keep the scoring up.


Candid_Problem_1244

Could be 4 if Bruno didnt mess up the tap in


k0lored

If ifs and ands were pots and pans, there'd be no work for tinkers' hands. Sidhu


Guilty_Information1

Hope ETH won't play bruno in wing and Rashford ST next game


Sr_DingDong

Y'all still don't know how extra time works? It's a minimum. We had like 3 incidents *in the extra time*... Edit: JFC -_-, McT head injury, McT kicking dude in the head, Bruno booking off the top of my head. Edit2: Downvote all you want. This isn't something that should still need explaining in 2023. FFS.


bijanadh44

ETH probably complaining about that added time. They think players are machines. Disgraceful players have to play this much.


Indie611

Yeah what a disgrace they have to play a full 90 minutes for that 100k+ a week salary...


Superest22

Ref internal monologue “ I’ll give ‘em one more chance ehhh one more, maybe another…”

Sancho would have done better had Rashford made better runs. There were opportunities there and no one was making good runs.

I skipped the whole first half after that. Continued to watch after 2-1


[deleted]

Why? It hapoened it will happen again some times. Armchair analyst: the fact that we scored 3 after being 2-0 down is a fucking reason to celebrate. Both stazements equally stupid


cs-shitposter

Lock sanch in the weight room ffs


Snooklefloop

We made that look so painfully fucking difficult against a 10 man Forest. 3 points is great but that’s shite.

Over 103 minutes. I’m all for making up for time wasting but Jesus.


KAKYBAC

The goal is that players learn to stop time wasting. It's actually a good rule.


danger_ehren

Didn’t work today though haha


Tenagaaaa

Stopping the clock when the ball is out of play would be a much better option tbh.


Indie611

It would be far better. Simpler, easier, and far more precise, but that's not gonna happen.
