Since Ralf took over United have more points than any other side except city and are currently on the longest unbeaten run. Things are looking up. There are improvements in the performances and our games are quite fun to watch, still a lot to work on but enjoying things a lot more now.

always nice to go to Leeds and stuff them. Most enjoyable and entertaining football match today.

GDS2 - let's not forget we’ve had a really favourable run of fixtures since RR took over!

Dropped points against Villa, Wolves, Burnley and Southampton could be costly come the end of the season.

Let’s see where we are at the end of March when we’ve played City, Liverpool, Spurs and Athletico Madrid.

I think 4th will be a real struggle if you think that’s important; personally I don’t buy into the top 4 propaganda machine and historically the Glazers have spent more money when we’ve finished outside the top 4 anyway.

Of course I want Utd to finish as high as possible but I certainly won’t be celebrating finishing 4th. As far as the Club is concerned I fear that would be objective achieved whilst the spin doctors and PR machine try to convince the world of a successful season.

Can't argue with that, and we have had a couple of 50/ 50 decisions go against us in the game we drew. Looks much more positive.

Much better indeed. You can see and for many of us we can see improvement week on week.
Still not great stuff but you can see a little more structure and a lot more effort.
I think slowly but surely he is finding out who suits his system best and who is adapting quicker than others.
Tough schedule ahead and its the next 6 games that will define our season and show us how far we have come.
City Liverpool spurs 2 x athletico with Watford next Sat.
If we come out of that still in 4th and still in cl we will have a interesting few months ahead.

I think things are looking much better. Sancho is looking much more the part, and Elanga has really taken his chance. Even Fred helped turn the game today, although I had to chuckle when the commentator questioned whether he meant it when he scored. He's not a bad little finisher.

Fred’s cameo when he came on, including his goal, was superb today. Deserves the credit.

Definitely signs of improvement and the performance level has definitely picked up since pogba has come back.

Whatever his flaws having someone in midfield who can actually put their foot on the ball and pick out passes and control the game makes a world of difference.

Credit where credit is due - until he started to tire Pogba was excellent today.

United responded after Leeds levelled. Rangnick got it right with his changes. Under Ole, he would of done nothing and United would of lost that game. Sancho had a good game, Lindlhof too I thought. And Fred can play football after all. He was great when he came on.
Good game of football. Second half was a proper War of the Roses.

We played as a team and looked more like a team playing together with a bit more belief. We had a wobble when DDG let the first goal it, yet for the first time in a long time I saw a structure and players playing for each other plus a bit of belief. RR got the changes right, tough games ahead and the mess will take time to resolve but definitely positive signs.

Agreed redman and good post GDS.

Aside from the results, our play has taken a massive turn, the structure in which we play is now quite clear to see. Refreshing to be honest.

I can't remember a United manager having to deal with more during such a short period.

Disjointed team made up of a patchwork quilt of players from 5 different managers.

Terrible form, no style of play and years of substandard coaching and conditioning.

Half the squad out of contract and/ or looking for moves elsewhere.

Big signings under performing.

The Greenwood situation.

Maguire and Ronaldo power struggle threatening to divide the dressing room.

Uncertainty over who will be the next manager and the direction of the club.

A change of CEO, from Woodward to someone who has zero experience.

A seeming power struggle higher up the club, with Sir Alex unable to keep his nose out and interfering, and other board members trying to have more control.

Literally it's like he's walked in and there's a fire in every corner that needs dealing with.

Yet, he has handled the press with an expertise that we haven't seen since Sir Alex.

He has the team starting to play a clearer structured style of football. While he's starting to get results.

Given the circumstances I don't think anyone could have done a better job. That doesn't mean he should be the next full time manager, just that he is doing what I consider to be a very good job of steering the club through a very difficult time.

Dunno what they've been feeding lindlehof but thought he had a great game yesterday- same as fred's cameo. all in all a great game to watch but still a worry leaking goals albeit a bit of a fluke for the first one.
thought PP played well and I guess that's him done for the next 4/ 5 games but there are signs of improvement in the team.
