We were lucky with Lamela yeah but it was 100% a red for Martial. Just like it was 100% a red for Shaw's awful tackle but you got away with that - Bailly should have walked also.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.

Seriously? Bailly and Shaw is not happening with 11v 11 or 10 v 10. It was out of frustration for the decision being gone against and already down by 3 goals.
No VAR and it was a 50-50 game.
Get to feck
I'm serious we are very strong after this window.
Fatigue with the Europa league might be an issue but they do look like they have a very good squad. It'll be interesting to see what impact Bale has (could go either way).
Oh come on mate, we were absolutely hammering you before the red card.
Haha, it’s never a red for Shaw. It’s a professional foul and sabotage, but the tackle is neither dangerous or ruining a clear chance of goal. Saying United were lucky with today’s ref is just provoking. Like your manager
I’ve laughed a lot this evening, but your comment has taken the biscuit
You dont think we are? Fair enough if you don't but we still have Bale to come into this front line.
Are you for real? If that had been a Spurs player you would have been screaming for a red card. It was 100% a red.
Spurs do have a very strong squad now, they could field this side from players who didn't start today:
Hart; Doherty, Alderweireld, Tanganga, Davies; Winks, Lo Celso, Dele; Bale, Bergwijn, Lucas/Vinicius
Lloris, Son and Kane are the only real definite starters, maybe Bale too if he's like his old self. The rest you can chop and change depending on the game/what form they're in etc without much fuss.

You genuinely think you’re going to be in title contention? Fecking hell
Yeah why not? I dont see many stronger squads than we have in the league. You may disagree and thats fine but I dont see how this is a crazy opinion.
No you were not. It was a close game. You are blinded by 1 min bombardement that ended with the red card. Why are you Spurs fans always this arrogant
I told you before. Jose built a pretty good team there and they are playing nice football. Typical Jose's second season. Imo, they will be in top 4.
Guess I was right about the foaming.
Played well today but dont get too ahead, was a mix of diabolical defending and quality Son
I think we must have watched a different match.
I think they're a good side, and I have a horrible feeling will have a lot of eating humble pie (including some Spurs fans!) about how finished Mourinho supposedly is.
Mate, they could have been about 5-1 up. Let it go, you just look silly.

Means feck all. Score was still 2 1
You’re not being objective, and just being massively giddy because of one freak result. Jose will try to win the Europa. You won’t sustain a league challenge on that basis. You’ve already dropped ‘silly’ points this season, that will be the norm.
ok mate have it your way. I get that you are salty and still upset its fine.Never a red for Martial (or both get red) but Shaw's tackle is a red. From behind without trying to get a,ball. It is a red any other day
I ment before the sending off. No way they could be 5-1 up before the red
Seriously again ? No one gives for shots or ball possession for 28 mins. A whole 60 mins was yet to played.
I'm basing it on the strength of our window and the depth of quality we now have all over the pitch and in the squad. Which teams would you say have a stronger squad than us at the moment?
No it was a not. Read the rules.
I know, and they had a ridiculous number of good chances before then. We were being absolutely dominated, who knows if we'd have turned it round with 11, but the smart money definitely wasn't on us doing it. Baffling to argue otherwise.
Just another biased Tottenham fan. Shocker. Liverpool, City, Chelsea, United (despite) today all have better squad than Spurs.
Liverpool and City I'll give you. Chelsea don't have a defence and Utd have no strength in depth at all.
Is this just a minor blip or are Spurs back to being a halfway decent side again?
Yes, they had a one minute bombardement that ended with the Bailly block and sending off. Before that they had the Son chance that were ruined by an awful touch. On another day maybe they could be 3-1 up but 5-1 is way too much. It was not good but never that bad
Honestly think the result was more on how bad we were than how good Spurs are. They're a good shout for top 4 though, but the competition for that is mad.
You know we just finished 3rd and you are playing EL? How is that possible with your world class Tottenham side against no depth United? I agree our depth is not good enough, but that doesn’t make Spurs world beaters. Even with a few new signings. We got two signings in today too.
Spurs fans amongst the most insufferable cnuts on here. Give it large off the back off one result but normally keep a low profile. Very chirpy for a club that wins nothing.
It’s cynical but just a professional foul in high speed. It’s not a dangerous tackle, hence the yellow card. That’s how I see it. Of course it’s not pretty.
The salt is marvellous. Look mate you would be rubbing it in rightly if the result was the other way around. It's banter - you will get plenty of chances to rub it into my face over the season.Looked good today. A fully fit/committed Deli, Bale and the new striker from Benfica to add as well.
They should be aiming for top 4.
They should be aiming for top 4.
By the rules it is a red. I am amazed how it was not today with Var. But again, it was also amazing how Martial got red and Lamela only yellow.
Christ, are you the gatekeeper of this thread? I wouldn’t rub it into you if we beat you. You wouldn’t even register as being relevant.
