Time and time again certain players put in a good shift and you think they could be ok going forwards. Then a night like tonight happens.

Young hopeless, Pogba found out against quality, Jones as hopeless as ever, Fred headless chicken, Lingard lacks quality, Martial does very little.

Rashford is one of the only players who deserves to wear the shirt on a regular basis.

£200m won't scratch the sides.

Smalling as well, it is pretty damning than an england manager has stated he is not good enough on the ball to suit his style of play but he is our first choice centre back it seems.

Should rash have put away that goal in the first few minutes, top strikers do.

The recruitment at this club has been atrocious for years and years now. We’ve let players go like Blind, Chicharito, even Jonny Evans, prob others and are squad is worse than before, worse than that we sell players continually for peanuts, now have players on high wage and are left with some utter dross let’s be honest.
Ole needs time and more importantly we need to get recruitment right, a DoF is a must that works with Ole to get the right targets.
I want us looking to sign up top British talent I. e, wan Bissaka, Rice, Sancho and then yes add experience like a Coutinho and a top class centre back.
This is a Frankenstein squad atm with 3/ 4 managers players and ideas mixed up, massive wages with some aging players too, its a mess that needs patience from us as fans and Ed needs to step back as we now know we are a long way behind where we aspire to be.

Good to see Blind in a champions league semi with a team playing the best football in the competition. Sigh.

I’m sure someone somewhere has counted how many times Ashley Young gave the ball away in the 180 minutes.

Again though, not his fault we have to play a winger at full back. The recruitment has put some players in untenable positions and you’ve got to feel a little bit sorry for them. It’s not a lack of effort in some cases, they just aren’t good enough and we haven’t moved them on when we should, something SAF was very good at.

Not a surprise tonight, these guys are not good enough for premier league contention so to go to the nou camp and expect anything other than what happened is foolhardy. i'd let the usual suspects like young etc do one and identify prospects. Ole may lack managerial experience but even he can see the obvious. It really comes down to what we've all been saying for so long on these pages- is the company/ business/ corporation/ Glazers behind the football end of things. If so we have a few years of rebuild in order to contend, if they see us as a cash cow we are in trouble. Simple as.

Quite frankly if you have a first team that consists Jones, Smalling and Young in defence won't give any top forwards a scare and we won't win titles with that defence.

Pogba isn't United material either and that is simply because he doesn't want to play for us so why are we so desperate to keep him and beg him to perform.

Rashford and Martial are not ready to lead the line as they are young and inconsistent. Sanchez is out of form and Lukaku shouldn't be playing for us if we want to win major trophies or we n3ed to play to his strength.

Anyone who thinks qe had a chance against this team with Messi then i guess you are just a fan living on past glories.

I knew we would get whacked and its kind of good that we did so Ole can be ruthleds and grt rid of the players we don't need moving forward and until that happens i am sorry but we are not going to be winning playing attacking football everyone one of you crave and that is the reason why the pr3vious manager didn't play expressive football because he knew that the team isn't capable of winning and will end up losing like we did today! .

Ole ruthless young gets a game no matter what. Cost us in the Fa cup with his red card, keeps his place. Lost the ball 30 times in the first leg and had 11 cosses none of which found a Utd shirt, keeps his place. Ole ruthless 😂😂😂😂.

Its not all doom and gloom. 3 years ago, our defence was arguably as bad as yours and we had a worse gk. In fact, you do have the makings of a decent defence but you need to buy smart and shift on those who aren't good enough for the level you want to be at. An older CB such as Alderweireld (or perhaps Godin if you want to play a deep line) would prob work wonders with your younger backs. But I think bohzman nailed it - what happens next for you guys depends on how the Glazers see the club.

It would be best for both parties if Ashley young came out and left the club himself to play in USA.
He's never been good enough, and the fact that he's overplayed at fullback at older age doesn't help his cause.

Wazza it is Ashley Young’s fault he turned straight into messi or that he continually gives the ball away or as a former winger he can’t cross a ball, it’s no good defending the indefensible, he’s a professional footballer and has been playing full back for years now, he should know how to cross a ball at least tho he wasn’t that good a winger let’s be honest. It’s time to move away from average players buying high fee or high wage types with no loyalty, often past their peak and recruit younger, better players that will work together for years to come that actually get that ethos and at least work hard for each other.

@wazza it may not be Young's fault he was converted to full back, but as a winger he should be able to cross no?

dreadful performance again, Lindelof and McTominay did well and I felt sorry for Pogba who made several good runs just for someone to give the ball away, not much he can do with players who can barely pass five yards around him. Martial always seems out of position, he seems better when he gets a ball in the center of the park, or when he's allowed to drift inside when Shaw overlaps him, something Rojo and Young didn't do. Rashford I feel is overhyped, fast, but doesn't have a great touch, is prone to give the ball away cheapily and isn't clinical enough. Lingard is and always has been a squad player at best.

WRD yes that’s obviously his fault.

But the manager is forced to play him deep where mistakes are costly.

I’m not defending his ability, he’s not good enough, nor can he be blamed for being picked ahead of gutless alternatives.
