Daley Blind isn't a defender. Who'd have thought it?

Oh and Lingard, horrible start.

I think he did meet Clough, but the story was immensely exaggerated and represented Clough as some sort of pathetic drunk. As Daniel Taylor wrote I hope his children weren't listening to their dad being spoken of like that.

It's incredibly cringey, and Dean Saunders comes off as a real prick.

Hull did very very well. I loved that we actually changed tactics a number of times to try and break them down. LvG would have taken a right back off instead.

Deserved that win. Last season until LvG we'd have lost that.

It's a shame this ended up being a huge disappointment with many promises not fulfilled.

Looks like Arsenal are buying Mustafi after all.

But to be fair it was pretty nailed on after Balague said he wasn't joining.

Joe Hart starting tonight for City, meaning he'll be cup tied if he moves to a club playing in the Champions League. Lol.

A lot of positives from last night. Ibrahimovic was awesome, Pogba looked comfortable, Valencia and Shaw were superb. Really promising attacking football. Southampton had the ball a lot but thankfully didn't create many decent chances.

Loved the Pogba/Ibra post match interview.

I imagine most players would look pretty shit if you make a video compilation of every bad touch, pass and shot, and ignore everything else they did.

I'm not exactly arguing that he had a good game (although as usual with our fan-base its being ridiculously exaggerated quite how bad he was) but you can tell that from the compilation videos floating around which include his good moments too; the lengths some people will go to to criticise Rooney is a bit sad.


Their videos wouldn't be as long as Rooney's though.

That video could have been any Rooney game from the past two/three years. You could make a video of the other players from that match, but they wouldn't be as bad as that, so many unforced errors. And it happens in every game he plays pretty much. For people who don't watch United/Rooney week in week out like us it's an eye opener to how bad he really is.

It's scary that Mourinho supposedly doesn't see how damaging it is to keep him in the starting XI. Mkhitaryan, Rashford, Mata, Herrera, Lingard, Januzaj etc. can play in the position Rooney plays and they would have a far more positive influence on the game than Rooney could. I'm hoping Mourinho is eventually going to phase him out.

You can see why there's so much frustration from the United fans.

Mahrez has signed a new deal until 2020, and it doesn't have a release fee clause - supposedly.

He'll leave next summer anyway, but still.

I remember seeing Bolasie play on his debut for Plymouth six years ago, now he's joined Everton for £30M. Crazy.

Looks like Claudio Bravo to City will be done later this week. Four year deal.
