Wow. Phenomenal victory and not what I was expecting. I thought we would win but to do it like that. Amazing.

First half we were very sloppy. There was no tempo or intensity to our game and we couldn’t keep hold of the ball. But having the strong defence helped us in a situation where we would have conceded last year.

Maguire and wan Bissaka were phenomenal. It cannot be underestimated what a solid defence can do for the confidence of a team. Both De Gea looks more solid and so does the rest of the team knowing that they have Maguire and lindelof behind. I am so excited to see how these two build a partnership because I think they compliment each other so well.

I thought we were poor in midfield and it will cause us problems as the season goes on. Pogba loses the ball far too often in dangerous areas and looks half arsed. Then he goes and does two sublime assists. He’s so talented but yet so infuriating! We missed a trick not investing in a midfielder but we must get on with it.

Buzzing for martial and rashford getting on the score sheet. It will do wonders for their confidence. I thought martial look far more lively and rashford too. I hope they continue to develop and improve because we need them both hitting 15/ 20+ this season.

Oh Danny james. That reaction to his goal was so pure. It’s amazing to see how much it means to play and score for this club. That’s how I want all our players and signings to feel. Playing for united is a privilege not a burden.

One quick negative. Shaw is simply not good enough. Looks overweight and he’s the weak link in defence. I’d look at Dalot for that position.

Early days still. Not perfect but fantastic start. Long may it continue.

{Ed025's Note - good summary that park mate..

Not sure pogba did look half arsed today, not everything he tried came of but he put a shift in .
Maguire looked class .
Bissaka looks a very good player, Chelsea got in behind him a couple of times but he has a good game today .
Shaw is a better player than dalot and will start the next game .
Energy, workrate and tempo excellent today.

Thought we grew into the game . Mcguire and Wan Bissaka excellent. Over the moon for Daniel James. Stretford end was rocking today. Chelsea support was woeful.

Shaws position al awareness is very poor.

Agree on Pogba jred. To see the rainbow you got to put up with the rain sometimes. I think we have to accept he will lose the ball someone's in bad areas but he killed them off with 2 assists. I thought he worked hard off the ball today.

Shaw did nothing to wrong today imo. He was left isolated 2v1 a couple if times made him look worse than he was. definitely keeps his place and will do for foreseeable future. They have to build on that back 4.

Jessie better than pierira in the more central role. Imo

James will do that all season in games you can't defend against that pace. If he learns quickly we have a beaut.

Maguire and lidelof super. Great to hear ole talking about his leadership qualities. Right man in the right place at the right time. He has an opportunity to lead this club out of the doldrums over the next couple of seasons.

Big game next monday. Momentum is everything at this stage of the season. A different challenge in a very tough atmosphere. Really looking forward to it.

Shaw had zero cover in the first half. I think you are being harsh on him. He looked committed and put in a great shift.

I think the thing about pogba is you have to take the good with the bad unfortunately. No doubting his ability and he can change a game in a second. But he can be so frustrating. He’s still our most creative and talented midfielder though. Great performance though.

Maguire will get the plaudits, deservedly so on his debut, but I thought Lindelof was immense today.

We’ve just beaten Chelsea 4 nil and people are finding fault. After a sloppy start from most of the team everyone put a shift in. And as for Shaw, he was our player of the year last year.

Pogba lost the ball yes, but Lingard and Rashford did too. Why is he always singled out?

Tony it’s not about finding faults. It’s about giving a fair assessment of the positives and negatives. Going towards one side of the spectrum distorts the truth. It was a fantastic result and some brilliant performances. But it is only one game and we must keep our feet on the ground. Hence why I picked out shaw who I personally don’t feel is quite up to it. Just my humble opinion of course.

After the doom and gloom on here what an enjoyable game major signs of the direction ole is trying to take the club . I like the direction it's a breath of fresh .  
Not a perfect performance but good tempo, workrate excellent and after everything that has been written what a performance from maguire, not to mention pogba and both martial and rash on the score sheet.  

Brave decision for rash (or whoever) not to always track back but if the ball breaks down the counter will be on . Leaves the left back open .
I also don't think we where poor in midfield, game was very open today bit like the norwich v scouse . In both games defense starting right from the GK line really opens the game up and creates a lot of space .

Could see a lot of this this season, be interesting to see how teams adapt but it makes for a very entertaining game . A days of a pack cm area coming to an end and end to end football each week .
