A post to interrupt the inter-rivalry banter and so on.......    I have been a Man United supporter since 1956 or thereabouts and have never wavered in my support for them, apart from going

Had a scandinavian feel about it this match. Ole is Norwegian  Lindelof Swedish Ericsson Danish Spurs can't Finnish.

Not a great performance but the win was comfortable. Never been a lover of the league cup, more an opportunity to show the Geordies whose boss!

Yeah, a bit fortunate with the goals I thought. Casemiro's looked like he pushed the Newcastle defender in the back (also touch and go on the offside) and Rashford's was a fortunate deflection but despite that, they probably deserved to win it overall.

'He believes I'm a top centre-half' - Manchester United captain Harry Maguire opens up on Erik ten Hag talks

Harry Maguire has struggled for regular starts at Man Utd under Erik ten Hag but he still has a good relationship with the manager.

Who else saw Maguire throw a mufc scarf to the ground? 

Expand  

I saw him take the scarf off & throw it onto the table as he walked up the Wembley steps - I thought it was strange at the time - No drama though, he won't be getting one next season.

Definitely an own goal. The view from behind the far post (at 0:15) clearly shows it was going a couple of metres wide.

I actually agree with you, although - We don't really care who was credited with the goal - A goal is a goal and hey, We won the Cup ????

Exactly. Who honestly gives a <deleted> of it was an own goal or not. Not us and not Newcastle

That was hard work watching the 1st half, but hey, we got there in the end - Fulham at home in the 1/4 finals.

Lindolof taking all the goal kicks, passing to De Gea who passes it to Maguire, who passes it to Lindolof, who passes it back to De Gea - I can't stand this, it wasn't very productive at all & quite frustrating to watch in that 1st half.

 

Hopefully Varane & Martinez start on Sunday as a left footed center back is essential to give us that balance at the back - Garnacho man of the match, cracking injury time winner (Again), this kid is special - majestic 1st touch & always looking to take on the defender & go past him - Full of confidence - Give him the number 7 shirt ????

Martinez and Varane are just so much more comfortable on the ball. Watching the other 2 is like a throwback to the Ole and Mourinho era's. Not the worse centre backs in the world but not the best either.

 

Not sure how high the bar is for the number 7 shirt these days.... I know Ronaldo got it at 17 yrs old but it if we are comparing 17 yr olds I think Ronaldo was ahead at that age. Don't get me wrong, I think Garnacho is an exciting player. I just think us United fans fall head over heels for a pacey winger sometimes, when actually he'll need a lot more to his game to reach the very top! I know... He is a good finisher and passer too. But whether the number 7 would do more harm than good I'm not sure.

If Greenwood don't come back, maybe give him the number 11 shirt instead ???

I know its early days & the kids only 18 & I'm in no way comparing him to Ronaldo, but there is no doubt in my mind, this kid is gonna reach the very top of his profession - Won't be long until Madrid come calling.

Didn't Michael Owen wear the number 7 shirt ??? If it's good enough for him, its certainly good enough for Garnacho.

He's had a good couple of months. But what makes you think he'll be any better than say a Januzaj, who also had a good few months then disppeared into thin air.

 

I think he is great. Just hoping he is not a flash in the pan. And we've seen many of them before.

How do you guys feel about Greenwood? What a shame we are crying out for a No9 I think he would thrive in this squad,
