What I'm going to say might shock a few people, it might even make some laugh but that performance wasn't half as bad as the score line suggests.

The first half was good. We played with passion, desire, intensity, hunger. We played with energy, dynamism, movement. We pressed Spurs and created changes. In fact we created more chances in that first half than we have in our last three competitive games combined against Chelsea (Fa Cup Final), Leicester and Brighton. The wing backs provided width and got forward well. Lingard pressed brilliantly from the front and provided good support for Lukaku. Fred brought good energy, movement and creativity to the midfield. We should have gone in at HT at least two goals up.

We don't normally play with such intensity and tired quickly in the second half. We we're a second slower to the ball and more importantly our minds tired even faster and we lost concentration. The opening goal killed us. Spurs grew whilst we looked burdened by pressure. We continued to try and press but is now looked desperate and frantic. We panicked and went to pieces.

Despite the humbling defeat the hunger and appetite of the players was in stark contrast to the Brighton defeat where it was slow, lethargic and weak. The players came out fighting tonight but a combination of poor finishing, fatigue, mental fragility and individual mistakes cost us the game.

Moving forward I liked the system, we played with energy, intensity and creativity. I think playing three at the back gives us more natural width and gets more players forward in support of Lukaku. I'd like to see us play 3-5-2 for the remainder of the season. Play with the same intensity, energy and desire and see where that takes us.

This is not the time for division or treachery. We shall not flag or fail. The manager, the Club, the players need our support now more than ever. I didn't see a team divided, not giving their all or not playing for the manager. It was a bad night that's all. We've seen them before but the sun will rise in the morning and we'll try again. We'll never die!

I’m a Liverpool supporter and I’ve got to say Man U looked good first half and looked like they were going for it just poor finishing let you down. second half the defence just crumbled Under a little bit of pressure Wich I personally believe is down to the way Mourinho as acted the last 2 months has given them defenders 0% confidence . 😉 just an outside perspective looking in .

The club is rotten from top to bottom. Owners who aren’t interested in glory, a manager who is living in the past nobody cares you have won 3 premier leagues Mr Mourinho except you and the Chelsea fans. Ovepayed premadonna players. Ideally we need new owners and a new manager but that won’t happen so I honestly don’t know what is going to happen. At least we haven’t got Blackpool’s owners where I’m from because I’m sure they’d of been lynched if they had of been. No matter what happens Utd will never die keep the red flag flying high.

We played ok first half but I've got to be honest it felt a little bit like the last role of the dice .

Herrera at cb? He was all over the place, turning up on the edge of the spurs box time and again .

Positives smalling done well although he got done by moura, Jose has said he doesn't know his best cb pair, which is a sin from a manager in his third year .
But he also said it will smalling and 1 other .
The other positive was Shaw who was excellent, very good a player people have constantly posted isn't good enough and should be sold .

Exactly JRED
We did okay and lost. Can't we just play very well and win just like the other top teams?

Mou is on is third season how long will take make this team play like this week in week out? Another 500M and 3 more seasons?
That's not good enough for United.
