It’s amazing how the Fergie influence over referees and football in general still gets results for a very poorly managed Man Utd team. They managed to withdraw Greenwood and Rashford from international duty despite them being fully fit to play and score tonight.

You don't think that maybe he was saying this tongue in cheek given it was overall a good performance?
You need to stop being so precious about our manager, it won't do your blood pressure any good.

For once can’t complain this season about losing 17 shots to 5 but we gave them a good game
Everton next week will be tough but I reckon we will win

I really don't think so. A goal had been coming. We'd been so sloppy all half, esp when trying to break, and they'd had about 80% possession.
Maybe - but if the ref had given it, VAR wouldn't have overturned it. So it was basically 'umpire's call' - which if they are going to use in football would be a good thing, but they haven't said they are yet. Looks like we're setting the new rules with VAR yet again!
May as well pay his contract up, the guy is a waste of a shirt.

Great 1st half worked their socks off. Leggy in the 2nd but overall performance was encouraging. It was against the team 2nd in the league

Gutted. We played well. To everyone saying we sat off it's because United played with real intensity at times. It's what we did to Newcastle, Liverpool, Spurs etc. They stopped us for a bit. Only gripe is that we needed to be more smart. A couple of times Sanchez released the ball quickly when he had it. Understand we need to be brave and keep possession when we have a chance but one of these times he could have done a Burnley and rolled around on the floor and took his time as we needed a breather in the 2nd half. Oh and Macquire is a horrible, horrible shit on the pitch. Disgusting fat headed prick.
I make you spot on.
This. No disgrace whatsoever.
Slightly annoyed at the manner of losing, especially the second goal and the penalty not given. But no shame. I love that we can go to all the big sides now and give them a proper game.
Jahanbakhsh is to Potter, what Mings is to Southgate.
Potter’s one blindspot.
Messrs. Anthony Bloom and Paul Barber - please get rid of Jahanbakhsh this summer.

I thought it was a pen but all the moaning about VAR means now the TV guys will rarely overturn Umpires call. All those who say they want errors to be part of football are getting slight concessions, enjoy them
Just watched it back he was NOT offside

I don't want AJ anywhere near our team. Lovely man but simply not up to it. He should have drove at their defence but played a square ball to Gross. The only advantage of him coming on is that it may tell potential suitors he's close to the first team?
