One of these guys takes man of the match today imo even though Martial got it. Fred has been on form for a few months now and today he was crucial. I canβt say I missed McT today, I thought I would have but Fred kept it ticking along nicely and always looked forward. The second half turned into a physical battle and he handled it well for a small guy. Matic was ok and he aided Fred with his physicality.
I canβt figure out if Williams is a top player or if he just looks like a top player because he is doing the basic things Shaw is crap at. I Ji55 at the sight of a simple over lap on the left hand side because Shaw acts like heβll be shot if he crosses the half way line.
All in all, a good professional performance and a clean sheet!
One point off 4th π₯³

Ole just said McTom likely to be out for 3-4 weeks, seems like it’s just a sprain and not a tear then. Thank feck

Thought other than one moment where he lost it Matic was good tonight.
Lingard as per came on and was utterly diabolical. That lad honestly winds me up just watching him. Wish he’d just get out the club

That club has been his life, he won't go easily. Ole will have to completely faze him out like Jones for him to leave. Having said that, I don't even think Jones will leave, doesn't seem to care about sitting in the stands.

More fresh air and a better view than the treatment room.

Fred is becoming a regular
Good interceptions and good forward passing, not quite the range of pogba but steady and assured

He honestly is the worst player I’ve ever seen in a United shirt to play over 100 games. He scored 0 goals and had 0 assists in the whole of 2019 in the Premier League and he is an attacking mid. Absolutely shocking stat

Wonderful news - I was fearing 2-3 months or worse.

Really like Williams...
Really happy for Fred... Never gave up on him. He needs to do much better with 50-50s though. Can't win one to save his life!
Shout out to Pereira as well... While I still never want to see him start can't argue with his level of performance yesterday!
Onwards and upwards I hope!

December was; won 6, drawn 2, lost 1.
Fred has arguably been our best midfielder. He can’t shoot for toffee and his dead ball distribution is poor, but that’s an area the club hasn’t addressed since DB7. Plenty to be positive about though.
I really like this Williams lad though. The new Irwin?

Still a long time to be without the guy who, whether we like it or not, has been our key man this season. Our form without him is dire. Let’s hope Fred can keep it going for a start.

The higher positioning of Williams in the first half was an advantage.
If you can find him early which Fred did a few times, he's either got a one v one with the opposing full-back or he's in behind.
Our other full-backs usually sit deeper than they need to when we're in possession which makes it harder for us to create dangerous situations out wide.
In games where we need a bit more guile from full-back, Williams should definitely be starting.
