It would've been prior to the game, but on reflection and given how poor Celta were, this tie should really have been put to bed tonight.
It's a good result, but not an incredible one.

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.

Fantastic result, Celta clearly showing they have little to offer.
I'd still rest this weekend with the game next week in mind.

We can't win the tie on the away goals rule.
Consider all the possible outcomes at Old Trafford which result in the sides finishing level on goals scored:
0-1, 1-2, 2-3, 3-4,.......
The first gives a draw; all the rest a Celta victory in the tie. As I said, there's no possible outcome in which we go through on away goals.
I want to read more about an away goal being more valuable if it only secures a draw rather than a win with a clean sheet, please?
Great result! I thought we played well today, but our finishing is dreadful. I hope we add one more goal at OT, and on to the final!
Rest players against Arsenal, get through next week. Then we let the kids finish out the PL fixtures and go to Sweden and claim a european trophy.
I know..I can't believe this place sometimes. We've won away from home in Europe and people are moan moan moan moan......jeez.
Same. Imagine if Celta get a freak goal out of nowhere in the first 5 minutes of the 2nd leg? Job isn't done just yet.
True but they now have to win at Old Trafford or at least get a score draw and I don't think they're up to the task in all honesty.
Can see us spanking 'em, assuming we decide to put our chances away of course.
I would not judge Ajax by last nights game. Lyon (and both teams) didnt defend.
Good result. Now a draw is enough in the second leg to go through. Considering our unbeaten run, we should go past the line in the second leg.
Aha, so 1:2 would actually be a better result?
Do you need a brown paper bag to breathe into?
erm...0-0 not possible?
Only the older viewers will probably know where I'm coming from when I say that I fear, whatever happens next week, Ajax will clean up in the final
No it's going to be brill-o
<snip>
Yeah, I thought that was really good actually. Very polished and very professional, with genuinely poor finishing letting us down.
I don't think playing the likes of Fellaini and Lingard in these attacking areas is the way forward for us long term (there's a reason we struggle to score goals) but I suppose it's a mean to an end.
At home, we need to send out the likes of Mata and Martial and hunt for goals. I'd like to think we should see this one out fairly comfortably.

Doesn't really matter, I'm looking for us to win the cup and everyone would have snapped your hand off for that. We don't have to thrash every team we come across and we don't even do that.
We already know that our finishing is terrible and we need about 7 clear-cut chances to score one goal, so what's the surprise?
A win at Celta Vigo in a European semi-final is brilliant, don't care what the score is.
Yeah, this. You can do a containment job on Ajax - stifle their youthful exuberance.
Not that we, or they are through.
Yes.
We go ahead if we draw at OT
Great result and overall we played well as a team. Pogba's return was vital and and if anything Young's injury convinced me that we really should set our sights on winning the Europa. I can't remember the last time we had to play so many matches in such a short period. It was like what, 1 match every 2 or 3 days? Crazy. Injuries are bound to occur again if we spread ourselves too thin.
He's talking about going through on away goals. 0-0 just puts United through on aggregate.
It was meh. Nothing exciting. Good result. Not going to feign loads of enthusiasm
Disappointed overall that we haven't put this to bed tonight.
Also worrying that it's taken something stunning from Rashford to break the deadlock.
That being said, I thought we were really good tonight, Pogba especially. Although the yellow card for him at the end could prove costly, I would consider resting him in the return leg.

That would be an outright win, not a win on away goals.
Another 2 points for that in the European rankings.
Up to 15th in the list.

Celta has been very poor away from Balaídos this season. I think the final is certain now
brexit, shit, the world is doomed, jose is a cnut etc etc on here.....
In the real world a decent result, thought we played well in the first half and could have scored more, can understand why we left some in the tank. Overall pleased and would have settled for it before the game kicked off.

puts us through with our away goal yeah, so it is an advantage.
0-1 at OT doesn't give CV a win in the tie
we cannot lose this tie until CV have scored twice, unless we are taking penalties after we haven't scored in 2 hours (which is possible, tbf)
GREAT RESULT !!!
Fellaini was awful tonight.
Great result.
Great result.
Good result & some good performances. Pogba played well, might be me, but he seems to move the ball quicker when he's not so fixated on searching out passes for zlatan .
Hope we don't get overly cautious in the 2nd leg due to our lead. We're a good bit better than them , & need to show it again.

Probably a combination of the two. Celta came in the game on the back of a losing streak and obviously were not at there level best, then again we controlled the game from start to finish, Pogba, Fellaini and Herrera dominated the midfield tonight.
Just another 2 points to match the Moyes year!
A 2-1 (to us) is better than a 1-0 (to us) because the probability of them scoring two goals in Old Trafford is less than them scoring one.
Should have put the tie to bed in the first half, but a result is a result, Pogba and Rashgod a class above.
