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.
Right on mate. Summed it up perfectly. Huge win.
Please stop the God awful moaning.
We played on Thursday evening, we were playing a very defensively set team who are 5th and have the 2nd most points in 2021, and we were comfortably better. We could have won 3 0 easily but for poor finishing/excellent goal keeping.
If you can't see that our ability to win narrow games has improved significantly in the last year or so, I suggest a trip to Specsavers.
Yh I think so. The momentum loss/fear that would have crept in with a draw or loss would have been hard to deal with. We don’t have an easy run either.
Winning today coupled with Spurs losing was perfect. Gap to 5th is now comfortable unless we implode.
Remnants of time long past, nothing more.
They were an absolute disgrace. Not even Fat Sam would have set up like that.@ people in the match thread claiming we were lucky. West Ham were a joke.
Some posters have moaning hard-wired into their DNA.
There’s criticism and then there’s moaning. It’s sad to see so much of the latter here.
This page is a bit of a mess this evening. West Ham are genuine top four contenders. They set up disgracefully defensively. We beat them. It’s a good night’s work. Be happy.
I have supported the club for over 35 years.
Mourinho and LVG were boring as feck, but neither were anywhere near as poor as Ole at in game management.
Both of the managers you mentioned have had world class careers and actually won trophies at United, so let’s not shit all over them to stick up for Ole, eh?
It’s mind boggling it’s as if the only way we’re not lucky if we win every 3-0 /4-0 . We dominated the whole game
Only seen highlights, but Greenwood looked unlucky not to get his goal. So close a number of times, only to draw a very good save or hit the woodwork. Feels like he is getting close to breaking this goal drought and I'm sure the goals will start flowing again for him shortly.
Nail on head. Been playing the same group of 15-16 players the past month.
Good 3pts, thats about it.
We were excellent I thought. Deserved another goal and would have been robbed if we drew. Greenwood was so unlucky not to get one. Against a tough side. Big win.
Maguire, Shaw and Greenwood were great, but everyone played well.

I thought we played great especially that first half. It should have been a 2-0 or 3-0 scoreline and someday we will start scoring again.
- Shaw just awesome. Love that nifty move to get out of trouble around two opponents.
- That was the best Rashford looked in at least a month.
- Greenwood was very good and unlucky not to have scored.
- Defense, once again, was just immense and the best was Maguire.
- Henderson is no 1 for me because the defense looks much more comfortable knowing he will come out.
- Everyone looked pretty sharp and knew how important this match was. Thank you players and Ole.
- Very surprised Diallo didn't come in.
- Milan will watch this and be worried because when we want to play well we can.
Sorry you Ole haters, we have pretty much wrapped up top 4 and likely will finish 2nd. This means Ole will get a contract extension and be assured of another year. It's time to join the bandwagon.

Glad we were playing a Moyes team. He is such a negative coach. West Ham offered nothing! They played against United like they did Liverpool a few weeks back, when both teams were there for the taking. Not saying it wouldnt have suited United more for West Ham to be more attacking but to have no shots on target is abysmal.
i thought this game was bit different We did have chances and did not take them. More energy and Greenwood was always a threat. I thought we played well.
This team desperately need a proper CDM to function as an attacking unit. Someone that shields the defense and controls the ball so we can move further forward and shorten the distance between attack and midfield.
Not too shabby from Barthez on our goal either, even though West Ham never tested him.
Another good thing from this game, no ridiculously unnecessary subs like the Everton injury time debacle and the negative subs of the Milan game. Hopefully Ole has started to learn from his mistakes. Maybe Fergie has had a word.
Felt like we will choke at the end and give a draw.
Did ole realize he can put subs? Amad for James. Matic for McT
Daniel - Headless chicken

Top 4 is in the bag .. the league should be on the backburner now..
Really hope we progress in the europa.. dont really care about it, but have nothing else to play for this season

I thought they were guaranteed to have a shocker after the rumors leaked last night about Ole's new deal. I told my brothers to lump it all on WestHam winning, never been an easier call.
So, well done to the lads, that was completely dominant. I thought Harry was great, and I am pissed that Fabianski saved that shot from Mason in the first half, that would have been great.
Dan James must be a nightmare to play against. Just constantly buzzing around and being obnoxious, and looking like he is probably about to do something great. It never comes off of course, but it would be worrying.

I honestly care more about finishing strong in the league than the Europa League. We're not going to win the league, but finishing close to City rather than miles behind in 3rd or 4th should be our target
In the bag? I agree its likely but let's not be counting chickens. Some tough matches coming up, they need to push through and finish 2nd. Top 4 should be the absolute minimum accepted not the goal.
Post match with Michael Owen and Ian Wright is exactly what Ole’s reign is all about. No identity, can’t break down defences, only one passer in our attack.
When we had possession in their half, there was nothing going on, passing side to side and backwards. Our chances only came from counter attacking.

And it's an important 3 points, as we start to consolidate that top 4 spot. I'm still not sure whether we're playing the best football under Solskjaer or whether this is the best direction moving forwards, but I agree that I can't see him getting sacked as things stand.
That is one scary kid. He was so unlucky vs West Ham. On another day could have had a brace. Am glad to see him receive some credit here.
People may and will doubt Ole for various reasons, so calling them haters is akin to calling posters like you arse-lickers. No need for that.
Tactics against City were similar, a game in which they looked very good, but could have been because they had Lingard linking their attack better than any of their other players are capable.
We played quite well, much better than we did on Thursday at any rate and should have scored more. First time i have felt like Greenwood could become a proper wideman.
I wonder what the score/result would have been if a) Lingard was playing for them or b) Lingard was playing for us?
Seriously ? You want to claim that winning the Charity Shield against a team from the Championship is a trophy ?
But to say that a guy who has the record for most points won from losing positions has poor game management, doesn't sound too logical. Especially when you compare him to Moyes probably tried a lot to turn things around, but never succeeded.
Woulda coulda shoulda. Lots of moaning in here. It wasn't a great game against an opponent who were stubbornly defensive. Did we get lucky? Yes. Did we deserve to win? Yes as well. We controlled large portions of the game. Had the better chances. The opponent had zero shots on goal.
I'll take the 3 points and move on. Especially considering the amount of injuries to our attacking players.

Mason was unlucky not to get a goal. Still not sure how the keeper got down and saved that shot.
Are we not in the FA Cup? Also we really need to finish strong and try to close the gap to City.
A well deserved 3ps. Another clean sheet. Of course it would've been nice if we scored more...
Maguire, Shaw and Greenwood the standout performers for me.

Greenwood is unlucky not to have a goal and an assist in the last to games.
Smart point.
I'd agree with that. I didn't expect West Ham to set up any other way. Lucky goal, but overall were the far better team in a poor enough game and deserved to win.
It's one of those games that I wont over analyse or remember for long.
