Long live Ole's reign.. sacked by Christmas - I'm sure I said it somewhere when he first got appointed - such a dumb decision.

He won't get sacked by Christmas. He'll have three years, even if we don't get a top 4 place at the end of the season. He's only had 70m quid or so to spend for starters.

The three signings he's made so far have been good, he's sorted out the defence and the midfield is next. We'll probably sign Longstaff in January I think.

There's been a ridiculous amount of damage done to the club since Fergie retired and Ollie is going to need time to sort things out.

I think he needs to change the system though, he should switch back to playing 4-3-3 with a number 6 I think.

Team news for United:

De Gea

Dalot Tuanzebe Maguire Young

Fred McTominay

Pereira Mata James

Rashford

Bench: Romero, Rojo, Williams, Matic, Gomes, Chong, Greenwood.

A shame that Mata is still starting though, I'd much rather have Gomes there tbh.

Team news for United, Williams and Garner both get a start, Martial is back which sees Greenwood on the bench:

Romero

Jones Maguire Rojo

Wan-Bissaka Garner McTominay Williams

Mata

Lingard Martial

Bench: Grant, Lindelof, Rashford, Andreas Pereira, Fred, James, Greenwood.

Hopefully no racist business from the crowd, I'd hate to see us walk off the pitch.

Martial puts us a goal up after a great run from Williams wins a penalty. Both sides have hit the woodwork once each so far. A decent game to watch so far.

So glad that Ollie has changed the system with these last two matches, we're playing MUCH better with wing backs.

And that's the end of the first half with United going in 0-1 up.

James and Rashford on for Wan-Bissaka and Martial, James is now playing as the right wing back. That's a bit risky imo.

Actually we've switched to a back four with Jones as the right back, makes more sense lol

So we've got James on the right, Rashford on the left and Lingard in the middle.

Pereira on for Garner who hasn't had a great game.

That's our first away win for ages :o

Brandon Williams was the MOTM for me, an excellent performance.

The Belgrade support was incredible, so much noise and thankfully no racism that I heard.

Team news for United:

Romero

Wan-Bissaka Maguire Rojo Young

McTominay Fred

Greenwood Mata Rashford

Martial

So James is rested because Ollie doesn't want him to burn out. I would have been tempted to rest McTominay too because he's played a lot of matches so far, plus I want to see Garner playing more.

With Young starting and Williams on the bench that could be a hint that William's will start against Brighton on Sunday.

Greenwood got our first goal, another great finish from him. But our second, from Martial, was brilliant. Great feet and a few deft touches in the goal area scored a top quality goal.

United 2-0 up so far.

Partizan Belgrade have been a threat but nothing that has REALLY bothered Romero.

The front four and our two full backs look like they're really enjoying this game. Haven't seen United passing and moving like this since Ollie's first 3 months in the job. :o 8)

I know i joke Bout united but finally its refreshing to see them attacking. Martials goal was quality then he messed up another chance straight after. Hes so inconsistent. Flashes of quality then hes shit.
Partizan do look a threat but tbf on United theyre finally at last playing good football
