Rashy gets the headlines, but as a team was where that was won. Don't think DDG had more than a couple of saves.
We won the physical battle against a high energy team. You could tell from the first five mins they were all up for it, even Pogba. Fred was everywhere winning second, third balls - a real Makalele (or Remi for us old farts) performance.
Very happy with that.

Great win. Hope Arsenal are worried. Somebody please tell the Leipzig manager that Rab C Nesbit's pal, Jamesie, wants his jacket back.

I quickly chatted with my dad last night about the game.....and he likened Fred's performance to Nobby Stiles, terrier like.....at least we're not quite that old
I didn’t see the match (No BT Sports), didn’t listen to the match and was watching a good film last night. Didn’t see the result till late and was to tired to comment.
what can I say? I’ve read the comments on here and by all accounts it appears Utd played very well which is obviously very good.
what I would say is, any chance of a bit of consistency? A bit more of this week in week out, not the five goals I wouldn’t expect that but what I would expect from Manchester United is good team play like last night and what they showed against PSG, these performances need to be shown week in week out in the PL.
I hope that meets @wheel satisfaction.

RIP United legend and World Cup winner Norbert Stiles...Everything you'd want in a midfield destroyer, but so much more than that. Tough as nails and blind as a bat, but as Sir Alf said, no Nobby Stiles, no World Cup!

Yeah, just seen it on the news. RiP Nobby. An England and United legend.

Just to put this into perspective, so that our younger readers can understand:
"He remains one of only three Englishmen, alongside Charlton and former Liverpool player Ian Callaghan, to win both the World Cup and European Cup".
Not a goal scorer, so never received the accolade they do, but an absolute 100% Utd legend.
...................................................................
Just to add, I don't think Ian Callaghan played in the WC final. So, alongside Bobby Charlton, the only two English men to win WC and EC, and actually play in the finals are Bobby Charlton and Nobby Stiles. Both Utd legends........

Very upsetting news, one of my dad’s favourite players, I just remember seeing Nobby and Utd play in 69 maybe 1970 season, they were obviously past their best but for a small kid it was just great. My dad was a St John ambulance chap at OT and had been for years so getting in and having a good vantage point was no problem. Happy days.
My dad would say that Nobby in his prime was so quick, and when he did accidently miss time a tackle the look of innocence on his face fooled most refs and only a free kick was given, he was a true great who stopped the opposition, he could pass the ball and that’s what he did, freeing up Charlton to do what he did best alongside Best and Law.
Another great sadly gone, RIP Nobby.
Sir Bobby is ill with dementia, what a shame that such a great player and great man off the the pitch and ambassador for the game at large has succumbed to this horrible disease.
We can’t even wish him well, having had a couple of relatives suffer this I can confirm that this a nasty way to end your life.
What a week, first Nobby now this and in the world of rugby J J Williams.
I hope that this afternoon we put on a display which would make Nobby and Bobby proud.
