Fantastic work from Pogba with a driving run sets up James who gets a goal via a deflection.

We're attacking SO quickly. The ball is coming from inside our 18 yard box to the back of the net in less than 30 seconds I think.

Mata and Greenwood on for Lingard and Rashford.

4-0 final score, it was almost like watching the old United playing again. Still a lot of work to do but that was a good performance from everyone.

You've got to feel for Fat Frank though, that transfer ban combined with losing Hazard is a big challenge for any manager, let alone one without a great deal of experience.

That's us 2nd in the table now.

Wolves away is going to be more of a test for United and Ollie-Ball though. Probably the same side for that match.

Apparently the top speed of James was clocked at 20.82 mph on Sunday :o ;D

No wonder he's nicknamed The Flash!!!

City got a winner disallowed today through the daft rule that ANY handball that leads to a goal, even if it's accidental, means the goal is disallowed. Some of these new rules are a bit shite tbh but I found this one quite amusing lol  ;D ;D ;D

More points dropped by Fat Frank but at least he broke his duck with a draw.

Team news for United:

De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw; McTominay, Pogba; James, Lingard, Martial; Rashford

Bench: Romero, Mata, Young, Pereira, Greenwood, Matic, Tuanzebe

Am happy with that lineup cos it's the one I predicted on another forum 8)

A tougher match for United and the Wolufs won't be anywhere near as susceptible to the break as Chelsea were because they play in a similar way.

Ollie has two options if things don't go our way, send on Tuanzebe and match the Woluf's three at the back or send on Mata to create chances.

Hopefully we won't need to do either of those two things though!

Martial puts us 0-1 up after a nice team goal.

No idea how many attempts on goal each side has had cos the Sky Sports app stats appear to be broken but I think we've had a fair amount more.

That's Martial's 50th United goal!

And that's United 0-1 ahead at halftime.

We've been the better side in the first half and now the Wolufs need a goal we've got more chance of catching them on the break.

Turns out the stats weren't broken, there were only 3 attempts on goal during that first half. That's me not paying attention lol  :-[ ;D

Wow. Fantastic equaliser from Neves. Should be a candidate for Goal Of The Month I think. :'(

0-1 at halftime and we've been pretty poor. Loads of possession, 9 attempts on goal and not a single one on target.

And we should be playing against 10 men too after Cahill denied Martial a goalscoring opportunity with a foul.

And all of our build up play has been way too slow too.

I think Ollie may have that hairdryer going as I'm typing this.

Shaw went off with a hamstring strain too so we've got Young at left back now too.

There has to be some funny money changing hands with some of these VAR decisions. The ref failed to give us a stonewall penalty.  Unbelievable.
