Funny enough I don’t think we’ve lost at old Trafford in a few a years now. A few draws and a win last season. I wouldn’t be too optimistic this season though. I feel like it’s a game they will win. I’d take a draw.

Hoping for something like this up there:

Ramsdale

Tomiyasu
White
Gabriel
Tierney

Partey
Lokonga

ESR

Martineli
Auba
Saka

I prefer Tavares but I think he could cost us like at anfield, defensively.

I like that team but I'd start Tavares against Utd as their counter attack is their main strengh and basically that is their new managers favourite tactic.

Martinelli could be a great wild card as this goal will give him confidance.

Should have started game a lot better.
Ramsdale busiest keeper that 1st half.
But a good 3 points to get after Liverpool defeat.


Ramsdale 8 - His great save stopped us going one down 1st half when we never got going.

Tomi 8 - Thought he had probably his best game. Great pass for Martinelli goal.

White 7 - Did ok.

Gabriel 7 - Didn't look comfortable one on one. Got out muscled a bit today

Tavares 7 - Did well. Lots of pace again. Got to look to pass instead of shooting.

Partey 6 - Average once more.

Lokonga 7 - Did well today.

Saka 8 - MOTM - Scored and always looked lively. Hopefully not injured.

Odegaard 5 - Thought he was pretty poor again.

Smith Rowe 6 - Playing Odegaard doesn't help him one bit.

Auba 3 - Terrible miss. Looked like the bad Aubameyang again today.

Subs:

Martinelli 7 - Brilliant finish to give us that bit of a cushion.

Laca 6 - Tried.

Tavares deserves more than a 7 Boston. 2nd half he was sensational. Huge threat to their defence and if it wasn't for his recovery pace they'd have equalised as Ben White got dusted.

Lokonga was also the best player on the park.

Mikel Arteta: “It was too slow [in the first-half], our first phase with our centre-backs was too slow & we didn’t have enough threat in behind & we didn’t occupy certain spaces, which they defended well. Once we interpreted that better, we started to attack much better.”

Agree with this.

Tomi and Saka joint MOTM for me

Not a lot of point doing ratings if we have to agree with yours.

We're starting to see more of Tomi passing range with both feet. He was one of our better players yesterday no doubt.

He needs to start performing away from home because that's where he's struggled.
