We win 2-0. Rashford of course scores again and Garnacho shuts the critics. This was our worst performance since the World Cup. But, WHO CARES? We won.  The starting line-up today was questionable, with neither Varane nor Martinez starting, but I understand the decision as we prepare for Barcelona on Thursday. Martinez is suspended for the first leg, so Shaw will be playing the left centre back, which leads me to think Ten Hag started Shaw as LCB to get more used to the position he has been playing lately, like against City.  Maguire is, let's be honest, not good enough. Defensively he was solid, apart from the one moment which led to a Leeds chance which he did recover from, but his passing let the team down, slowing our tempo. Bringing on Martinez changed our game for the better. Fred had an amazing game and deserved the man of the match. We missed Casemiro a lot in the game. Sancho was our main threat in the first half, I raised my eyebrow when he was taken off instead of W...

"I admire them both, Man City and Liverpool. They play fantastic football. But eras come to an end." said Ten Hag. Manchester is red and will always be. I love you, Ten Hag. Every player stood up when we needed them and played for the badge. We had City in our clutches for most of the game, restricting them to one shot on target. A tactical masterclass from the boss. City was dominating after the break and looked like they would secure a goal one way or another, which they did, but the team showed resilience and did not let the setback affect us as we grabbed two goals in the space of 4 minutes to complete the turnaround. One of the important things the team lacked in recent years was the mentality, and it has improved a lot this season as we did not let a setback that is City's goal affect us in any way and pushed for the win. As Bruno said, we used to be a group of individuals, but now we are working as a team, playing for each other. I don't care what people say ab...

Do you guys still remember the last ten years of suffering? I do. But I haven't looked forward to United games more than I do now in over ten years as a United fan. And do you know the reason why we are playing so well? Is it because Rashford is on fire? Is it because Martinez and De Gea have built a wall? Yes. But do you know what clicks the team the way it is? The answer is simple. It's the title of this article. You got it. It's Casemiro. He has revolutionized the team. Ten Hag has described him as the cement between the stones, and we are here today to discuss why he said that. With Casemiro, we have a win percentage of 70% with only 0.6 goals conceded per 90 minutes, against the 57.10% win percentage with 2 goals conceded per 90 in his absence. What makes him so special? Is it the last-ditch tackles or taking a card for the team? Yes, but as Puyol once said, if you are making a sliding tackle, it means the team has committed a mistake. What makes Casemiro special is hi...

 I just have to start with Casemiro, what a man. A phenomenon. He dominated the proceedings all game. We are really lucky to have him in this United side. People might say Old Trafford has become a retirement home for Real players who just want money, but the performance we saw from Casemiro tonight is not something a player plays like if he wants money. That right there was passion. I don't care if people think it's a retirement home for finished players, Casemiro is nowhere near finished and is out there for blood even now. That was prime UCL Casemiro. The pitch was slow today in a rainy Manchester. The ball was being dragged with difficulty, but United showed that they don't care, as they were brilliant.  Rashford has come back from where he left off before the World Cup, seriously, why was he not played against France until the last 5 minutes? Rashford has hit double figures for the season, and he is on fire. This is a redemption from last season where he looked out of ...
