The Premiership Thread

And force United to give Sheffield a go on the ball 😂😂😂

Wolves have gone 1-0 up. They're probably going to go on a run after I said they weren't a challenge for the top four places 😂😂😂

A hat-trick for Martial. Really good build up and a great finish. That's his first one for United.

Has to be the MOTM but every single one of the United players have been exceptional tonight. 😎😁😎

5 subs for United. Ighalo, Mata, James, McTominay and Pereira on for Martial, Greenwood, Rashford, Pogba and Fernandes.

Ended up with 3-0 being the final score. Great to see that so far United are continuing the moment we built up before Kung Flu messed things up.

Next up is Norwich away in the FA Cup on Saturday. This puts Ollie in a bit of an awkward position. Does he field the strongest side possible to help improve match sharpness or does he field a weaker side to rest players and give our fringe players a chance to build up match sharpness?

I think he might try and do a bit of both. 🤔😂

Games before their first Premier League hat-trick:

Ronnie - 147
Roonster - 139
Martial - 138

Not bad going 😎😁

Bloody Chelsea giving the red scouse gits the Premiership title. I was STILL hoping that they would end up throwing it away at the last minute and go 31 years without winning the top division title 

Oh well, never mind. We'll win it next season if we manage to sign Sancho

Someone on a YouTube video has just pointed out something that I've never thought about before - United were only two points away from winning the Premiership every season from 92/93 to 00/01

Bloody arse and Rovers

Team news for United vs Brighton:

De Gea

Wan-Bissaka Lindelof Maguire Shaw

Matic Pogba

Greenwood Fernandes Rashford

Martial

So the same side that beat Sheffield United, arguably our strongest line up.

Every game for United, Chelsea, Leicester and Wolves is a must win game now, but given the form of the Foxes I think they may drop down the table before the season ends.

[harv]

Nice goal from Greenwood puts United 0-1 up after 16 minutes. 😁

[harv]

Another goal from Fernandes, Pogba with the assist. Another nice build up too.

[harv]

Linesman is a clown, that ball went out of play in the build up. Not that I'm complaining too much 😂😂😂

[harv]

Fucking hell. What a SUBLIME counterattack from United. Assist from Greenwood and a great finish from Fernandes.

Having Sancho added to this side will guarantee us the Premier League next season if we don't get screwed by injuries.

[harv]

That's 15 games unbeaten now with this match ending 0-3 to United.

So 15 games played, 11 won, 4 drawn, For 38 Against 4.

People are claiming that Fernandes is the difference but I'd say it's a combination of three things:

1) Having Ferdinand in the side

2) Having Pogba back but most important of all

3) Matic (and other CDMs when he's been missing) passing the ball forwards instead of backwards and sideways.

It's taken quite a while to break Matic out of that habit in particular because he was passing backwards and sideways for so long that it took Ollie a while to get him (and others playing the same position) to drop the habit.

[harv]

Big pressure on Leicester and Chelsea for their matches tomorrow. I'm expecting Chelsea to win and Leicester to drop more points. 😁

Third place is up for grabs if we keep this form going. 😎😁😎
