The official Manchester United thread 2019

Jesse Lingard added a second in the eighth minute of stoppage time.

Is this bad luck or what? some guy had a tenner on JL not to score in the PL this season could have won something like 700 pounds

Turn up for the books eh. Getting another penalty. Who'd a thunk it

How was the penalty today debatable? Martial had two CB's hacking him down simultaneously. 

 

So if Evans had taken the ball and tackled it back to the keeper and then taken Martial i millisecond later - he could get away with it. This wasn't the case here, and add to that Morgan clearly tackles Martial without being close to the ball so

I think I would prefer LS to play in this game this is a 70 million pound game

Don't understand why you and Rick are so down on Brandon Williams.Luke S was never go to play, he hasn't even trained since he got the ankle injury only done upper body gym work. He won't play again until the new season at best.

 

Williams is only 19 ,he has slotted in ,being 2 footed ,at right and left back and last night averaged a 6 (team player rating averages) with most pundits and I thought carried out his instructions to defend and not go too far forward to the letter. 

 

Leicester targeted his flank thinking that was preferable to going against Wan Bissaka but got little joy.  Was the biggest game of Williams short career and most importantly didn't let the team down. 

 

United currently have the youngest side in the League the young players are only going to get better

Wow. You guys are very touchy about the penalties and the associated record. Last nights was nailed on BTW.

When I saw Morgan's name on the starting line up I knew that Martial if he got he chance would leave him in his wake and Jonny Evans isn't getting any quicker.Morgan is way past it but they had no back up due to injuries.You wont find a referee in the country or any fair minded person to say it wasn't a penalty. Ignore the snarky comments they well know their wrong,pretty pathetic actually.

Good find an intelligent summation for once.

 

United have a dilemma now they have made the CL which may sound strange.Do they prioritise the Europa knowing if they do get to the semi or final its only a couple of weeks turnaround and and they are into another season ?The likes of Fernandes ,Rashford and even Greenwood looked absolutely knackered last night.They need to go and stay right way from football for a few weeks .Hauling in that 14 point deficit to the Foxes was also mentally draining.

Maguire played every game .Its been 25 years sine Gary Pallister did that, he looked ok last night but its playing with fire if he doesn't get a long rest.

Gutted for Leicester and The Cherries.

 

Man Utd have won enough down the years. Must be the luckiest team ever to take the field. And Villa might have got back first time, but I fear for Bournemouth.

Now the pressure is off regarding CL so the next EL game we are already 5 nill up if we make to the final it has been said United will use it as a kind of pre season games

What a record for Jesse Lingard, the last goal & the last kick of the premier league season is his first goal of the season

Watched an interview with Lingard the other night.He's not the most articulate in explaining where his life has been but his mother is apparently ill, he is looking after 2 siblings, has fathered a child with his girlfriend and his life is pretty complicated albeit mostly self inflicted.

 

He thanked OGS for his understanding but was also reminded of his responsibility to perform for the club when he picks up the pay cheque.

 

He has scored some great and important goals for the club in big matches but so long ago and was the other night rewarded for at least closing down their keeper. If he can sort himself out could still be of use but only off the bench at this stage

Read somewhere that someone in the UK had a tenner on at 66/1 that Lingard would go the whole season without scoring a goal or making an assist. I wonder if he saw the goal or was already on his way to the bookies to collect his winnings.
