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.
Yep. Don’t know why I went to have a look atRAWk after the game. Not one positive thing to say about United. Can’t say I’m surprised really. United only won tonight because of the ref/Chelsea letting them/Sarri wAnting the sack. I hope we tear them a new arsehole next weekend.
Really?! I could have swore Matic got a booking for the alleged trip on Hazard. Don’t recall any VAR decisions.
He was treading a fine line all game and has been for some time.
People complain about Lukaku but Matic gave me a heart attack whenever a Chelsea player was near him
First win there since 2012 cant be understated, great to bounce back also
Yeah, the only thing was that he only made 3 fouls all game and at least 2 were dubious so maybe referee was a little unsure and hedged his bets s little.
VAR doesn't mean you have to stop the game. More often the VAR team can inform the ref that the decision made was wrong.
Still didn’t notice any hint that it was used for Matic.
Perfect. 9/10 for Solskjær. Subtracting a point for not subbing Ince in for Herrera, to win 10-0
Can’t believe Lindelof got 1% of the MOTM vote.
He was immense tonight. He got my vote. Yes Pogba was great with a goal and an assist but I think the defenders get overlooked sometimes.

It did, if you watched it again, the ref touched his earpiece after that first 2nd half foul on Hazard.
Smalling is my worry. I've never seen anyone hold, pull shirts and generally foul as much as him and get away with it almost every time. Sooner or later the refs are going to call it and we'll be in real trouble. He still had a great game but talk about living on the edge. What a performance from all of them though. Awesome!
Can anyone post a clip of the players reaction on the pitch right after game ended? I couldnt watch the game today, but I always enjoy watching the guys congratulate eachother and the manager likewise after a solid victory.
Okay, so I totally blacked out after that. Did the ref see that he won the ball and didn’t give the yellow??
Did you use to go to away matches?
One of our best performances in ages, loved how we still played attacking football despite the PSG loss. Work rate was fantastic! Lukaku almost looked better at being a defender than attacker...
Herrera was absolutely fantastic he seems to really like playing against Chelsea.
Pogba's work rate which I've previously questioned (he has an unfortunate running style that looks very casual almost looks like hes jogging at times) was fantastic, loved his and Herrera's interview
Herrera was man of the match for me
Away fans fantastic could hear them on the TV almost all game, lovely to see Ole and the players go over to thank them
Unfortunately not a kind draw wolves and city were the 2 I didn't want.
One question it does raise is what on earth is Fred doing behind the scenes!

I thought the ref was good tonight.
What a clever player Herrera is. Brilliant goal really. He saw Rashford take Alonso with his run towards best post and ran unmarked at the far post.
That was an Ole masterclass.
The diamond worked a treat, we still managed to look aggressive on the counter attack with Lingard and Martial both injured.
Were aggressive from the off with our tempo and passing and that paid off in the first half and then we were extremely comfortable defensively, Chelsea helped us with that because their football is tumescent at the minute but still impressive nonetheless.

Sir Alex on the pitch after the game.
Nope, he totally missed that. Then that was thought to be the final warning. Directly after that, he made another bookable offence, but he was told that was the real final warning by Matic.
Great performance tonight.
Herrera, Lindelof, Pogba and Rashford all performed well.
Young, despite getting booked early had some great tackles.
Shaw was fine, that last ditch tackle was immense so kudos to him for that.
Matic was ok. Too slow at times and Chelsea knew this and tried to take advantage of it. Legitamitely won the ball against Hazard but because the Belgian slid to his knees, that was a foul.
Mata played some superb passes here and there. Good input from him.
Lukaku was useless until he dropped wide and fed Pogba to set up the assist. Other than that we may as well have had a pointing washing machine on the field.
Overall very happy. Genuinely love Herrera. That talk he gave Sanchez in the game/after the game was great. Clearly trying to get him hyped up about playing. That guy has always been a great leader in my opinion.
Give Herrera the armband against Liverpool and watch his emotion ignite the rest of the team.

Okay so we assume that VAR had told the ref that the third foul should be the last warning
I fecking love football again. Please don’t let Ole leave and make me sad again.
Correct, he was unlucky at the first place, luckily for us the VAR has done us a justice.
Amazing.
Once again, Ole and the players have surprised us so positively, what a wonderful victory. Even Sanchez made me smile today.
Just watched the game and the negative comments about Rom are unjust. Worked really hard and I'm not sure what else he could have done.....
Be good at football would be a start. We would have won 3/4 nil with another proper counterattacking threat alongside Rashford.
People need to remember we are not going to win anything if we keep lowering our expectations of what's good enough to start/play for this football club.
I don't think Lukaku fits into the gameplay that we use now with many counter-attacks but must agree that his contribution today was definitely better than we have seen in a long time. Hope it will continue and that in any case he will get back the joy of playing and the desire to show what he can contribute to the team.
Complete nonsense and the latest forum scapegoat. His return last year was decent and significantly contributed to us finishing second scoring goals when no one else was....
What an excellent comeback after the PSG loss, and even though we are without Martial and Lingard. OGS got the team selection and formation absolutely right.
My 3 standout players were Rashford, Pogba and Herrera.
Tottenham checked
Arsenal checked
Chelsea checked
Bring on Liverpool!

He was quality. Just that Herrera, Pogba, Rashford were outstanding, and Shaw did very well too! And can't forget Smalling as part of Lindelof's performance too. Just a very good team performance.
There's more than one way to play football and whilst for me Martial and Rashford are in front of him, that's not to say he can't contribute. Don't get why people wouldn't want the beast of Rom that we've seen last season and the World Cup.
Every player that put on a red shirt did us proud last night, why you'd need to single out one player is beyond me.
It's because for that amount of money we paid for him, we expected a world class striker playing week in, week out. I'm a very patient supporter, but Lukaku's time here really is something we need to question.
One of the things I like best about this match was seeing Mata played in his best position. It was a sight for sore eyes to say the least. Thought he was much better here and his lack of pace and physical presence weren't such a liability as when he's stuck on the right.
Through luck, we found ourselves a true United manager. All we need now is for the board to back him in transfer window.
