Four goals, not fluid but job done. Lovely play by Carrick, Mata and dare I say it, Rooney was hard-working tonight.
Lol at the Owens on BT Sport trying to paint Rooney in a positive light by saying he was helping Pogba's confidence by letting him take the penalty. Nothing to do with team orders and penalty takers decided by Mourinho. I know Zlatan decided to take the penalty v Southampton but can't imagine that's a policy that is set in stone.
Good and deserved reception for Van Persie. Sad to see him waning away in Turkey but Ferguson got the one season out of him!
For Chelsea, similar side to Liverpool with Martial in for Young.
Other teams losing points today with draws. Could really do with a win tomorrow.
As soon as our rivals drop points and we have an opportunity to pounce to make the situation to our advantage, we don't do it and end up drawing or losing. It's a common theme these last few years.
Mourinho's first game in England was against this:
Man Utd: Howard, Silvestre, Gary Neville, Keane, Fortune, Miller, O'Shea, Djemba-Djemba, Giggs, Scholes, Smith. Subs: Ricardo, Phil Neville, Bellion, Richardson, Forlan.
****ing hell.
I'll never forget when we finally won the title in 2007 and his Chelsea side promised to give us a guard of honour, Fergie completely trolled him and started Dong, Eagles, PIG etc
