We beat league leaders Chelsea 2-0 at home. Masterful tactics by Jose “Judas” Mourinho to keep Conte’s key players STFU for the whole game.

Ander Herrera is my man of the match. He kept Eden Hazard quite while assisting a goal for Marcus Rashford and create one for himself.
I’ve been saying this too many times but I can’t find any other words that perfectly describe this bunch of players, which probably the weakest team Jose Mourinho has ever assemble in his glorious career in football management.
If we see the results below, teams come to Old Trafford not to get batter, but to get point (s).
1-1 vs WestHam
1-1 vs Liverpool
1-1 vs Arsenal
1-1 vs Bournemouth
0-0 vs Burnley
0-0 vs Stoke
0-0 vs Hull
0-0 vs WBA
1-2 vs CITYALL on OT.

We’re not good enough.
The club’s stocks owned mostly by Donald Trump supporting Americans so why would they play somewhere else?
No details yet but it is confirmed.
Our very own Michael Carrick is getting a well-deserved testimonial this summer with Sir Alex Ferguson managing a side. Now I really wish I could be in Old Trafford that day.
Despite the sensational headline, of course Jose is gunning for both. That’ll make sure the team are in Champions League next year.
Anyway, we beat 19th place Middlesbrough 3-1 for full points away from home and old rivals Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City are all dropping points.
Good weekend!
The shitness continues. Now we draw 3 times in a row at home in the league.
I disagree with Mourinho. We can afford to pay the highest wages in the world of football. The overpaid players are just not good enough. Not unlucky.
We’re shite. But I still believe Jose Mourinho is the right person to turn things around. Moreover I agree he must able to answer these questions.
What puzzles me most is why Fellaini instead of Schneiderlin and Carrick?
Drawing away from home isn’t exactly the achievement that any United supporter should be celebrating like it’s Christmas as our last 2 visits to Anfield were perfect wins. But a solid performance is a solid performance. Mourinho was playing into Klopp’s game and it worked well, nevermind poor ball positions at 35% (the figure which Mou denies), currently the lowest in the league, when we have 99% but we can’t even shoot and trouble opposition’s goalkeepers presented by the previous manager.
On our best performers; it’s important to note, should Ibrahimovic converted his chance, which he usually does, we would take home full points. It apparently just wasn’t his night. Meanwhile Herrera was a commanding boss at deep midfield with man of the match performance and his Spaniard fellow David De Gea also pulled incredible saves, taking away 2 points from the side who currently have the time of their life.
Like Mourinho said it best:

Unlike his predecessors, Jose Mourinho is the first Manchester United manager post Sir Alex Ferguson who dare to drop Rooney.
I know it’s early and super easy to find a scapegoat for our rare 3 defeats in the row (worth to consider, he also dropped on our 2nd defeat). But Mourinho is getting the reward.
This match review is so kind it will make many United fans agreed that there were a lot of positives comes out from yesterday’s derby defeat.
I don’t disagree, but positives outcome don’t matter if your supposedly best player (Pogba) isn’t turning up and our master tactician manager strangely gamble with his starting 11 (Rashford should starts).
That said, I’m still unconvince that we’re good enough.
