what's your favourite Utd moment of 2016

There's so many to choose from, Here are my picks -

1. The appointment of Jose Mourinho - I've wanted him to become our manager for a long time, We're playinbg better football under him, he's a winner, I'm glad we've got him as our manager, he has my support.

2. Winning the FA cup - before we won it in May, we hadn't of won it since 2004 which is long for a club of size, I was so happy when Jesse Lingard won it for us in May with a great volley into the top corner, It was a huge goal for us, considering we were down to 10 men, That's the only positive I'll take from the Louis Van Gaal era, I'm grateful to him for winning the FA Cup.

3. Beating Arsenal at Old Trafford - We were written off by a lot of people before the game, Most pundits went for an Arsenal win, we also had to play Michael Carrick in defence due to injuries to Chris Smalling and Phil Jones, I thought he was fantastic in that game, It was also the game that Marcus Rashford came to everyone's attention.

4.- Signing Zlatan Ibrahimovic - I was desperate for us to sign him on a free transfer, I thought he'd have a Eric Cantona type effect at the club and it looks like he's having that at the moment, 14 goals in all competitions, not bad for a ''past it'' 35 years old striker.

I'd say when we lost 2-0 o Liverpool in the Europa, it was one of those magical European nights at Anfield, they sung that song they stole from Celtic, the fifty or so scousers in the crowd sobered up and stopped hitting their wives long enough to attend the game, and Klopp was wearing his bestest glasses.

Either that, or the trophy we won at Wembley...

The timing of the LVG departure kinda took the gloss off the FA cup for me.

Zlatan, that fall/dive was epic. He made up for all his passive note taking all year in that one moment.

Your first bit for me, The press and media should've let him celebrate the FA Cup in peace at least until pre-season in my opinion.

This for me as well.

Went from a high to a bit of a low.

FA cup first obviously.

Then probably the break through of Rashford.

Martial's goal against Liverpool was up there as well.

TBH once Man City got the point against Swansea City LVG needed a miracle to stay.

Oh yeah. Just thought of it because most of these are from last season.

One good moment was Lingard strike against Chelsea before that late goal against us or that great Rooney strike against Newcastle United before that late goal against us or when Martial made it 1-2 at West Ham United before late collapse denied us top 4.

anyone who says anything other than winning the F.A Cup is a monumental prat

Not really, as it's about personal moments.

I was lucky enough to be at Wembley for Martial's winner and I'll never forget how amazing it was coming out of the ground and hearing that Tony Martial chant from so many jubilant United fans.
