[Lucky McLuckerson]

Well what a start to the reign of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as manager of Manchester United! 5:1 at Cardiff.

It wasn't just that it was a convincing win but the manner of the performance that has suddenly changed the whole outlook for our season. It feels like the doom and gloom of the season has been blown away in 90 minutes at the Cardiff Stadium. We played with energy, ambition, freedom, quality and got our due rewards. The United way.

That was as convincing a win as we've had in a long time. From the third minute when Rashford scored a ferocious free-kick we were always in control of the game. Cardiff briefly threatened to come back into the game when they made it 2:1 midway through the first-half but we immediately came back to go 3:1 up with a peach of a goal from Martial.

Lingard made it 4:1 after 57 minutes and there was no sitting back, no holding what we have. We kept looking for more goals, as we should and Lingard got a second to make it 5:1 and put the icing on the Christmas pudding.

We could not have hoped for a more positive start with Ole as manager. A timely Christmas present for Reds everywhere! Can't wait for the next game

Cardiff 0:1 Man Utd - Rashford (3')


Cardiff 0:2 Man Utd - Herrera (29')


Cardiff 1:2 Man Utd - Camarasa (38' pen)


Cardiff 1:3 Man Utd - Martial (41')


Cardiff 1:4 Man Utd - Lingard (57' pen)


Cardiff 1:5 Man Utd - Lingard (90')

[The Firestarter]

The United way.

 

[Annihilate Now!]

Sexy bastards

 

[ivaldo]

Muah.

 

[PoTMS]

More importantly what's our goal difference looking like now?

 

[Chipper]

We're gonna win the league..

 

[Wumminator]

We have our soul back.

 

[Samid]

This is football.

 

[HalfBaked22]

My mind's tellin' me no, but my body, my body's tellin' me yes!

 

[Jeppers7]

Absolutely loved that....that's why we sacked him.

That was brilliant

 

[HankHill]

My word.

 

[mu4c_20le]

At one point we broke so fast on the counter, I got nervous and thought we were the blue team.

 

[vidic blood & sand]

Pochewho?

 

[dove]

Scored 5 goals for the first time since SAF's last game in charge

 

[el3mel]

Ohhh what a game ! what a fun ! First time I enjoyed United this season.

Magnificent and flawless performance from everyone. 10/10 here.

Amazing work by Ole and Phelan to rise the confidence to that level in short time.

 

[Borden]

Buzzing.

 

[Red-Man-Walking]

The United way.

This.

 

[Mr Pigeon]

Said it earlier and I'll say it again. Remember when austerity hit and everyone started getting fecked over with their wages, pensions, public services etc? But eight years on people were looking at their shit stained trousers made out of old copies of The Sun, their one tin of beans that was meant to last them the whole week, and their cardboard box being blown over by the draft of Mr Moneybags' second new Merc he had bought that year and we said "Well, it's always been like this so what can you do?!" But deep down we knew that it wasn't always like this, we had just forgotten what it was like in the time before we had to give out gobbies around the back of the food bank for an electric meter card with a fiver stuck on it.

This feels exactly the same. After five years of tumescent shit, uncertainty and a lack of identity we've already hit the ground running with passion and intent.

 

[House Mkhitaryan]

Sign Ole to 10 year contract.

 

[Martial]

That was beautiful.

 

[T00lsh3d]

Shit players....

 

[Tom Van Persie]

That was incredible.

 

[unplayable]

So this is this so called football everyone has been talking about. I must say it's quite enjoyable.

 

[Nate Dogg]

Should've sacked Mourinho weeks ago.

Brilliant performance.

 

[RoadTrip]

Expected a bump because of the change in manager but damn it feels good regardless!

 

[kidbob]

Trying hard to not get carried away but we are the best team in the World again.

Night and fecking day.!

 

[Henrik Larsson]

Could've hardly been more perfect

 

[Random Task]

You couldn't have written a more perfect script.

Hype.

 

[Jacko21]

Crikey.

 

[Red Devil Rising]

Bet Mourinho is even more miserable now

 

[Godfather]

Loved that. Great performance from the lads.
