Match Day Thread Celta Vigo v Manchester United | Europa League | Semi-Final | First Leg

Totally dominant. Should be 3 nil up but as usual cannot convert.

 

Am I alone in thinking that Mkhitaryan has a bit of the emprorers new clothes about him?

Luxurious waste of ****ing space, he does **** all bar a good disappearing act most of the time.

Like Ozil but without the bug eyes.

Doesn't slow things down like Zlatan though so all good.

Or score. Or do anything.

 

Mata warming up.

If Mata had one leg he'd contribute more.

 

Why can't we just score when we have the chance ffs.

At least we got one away goal. Would have been nice to have 2 or 3 so we could rest a couple in the return leg.

 

That would make far too much sense. Let's pull ourselves over hot coals instead... far more entertaining. Not!

 

Easily could have got 3-0 but 1-0 is still a good result. Pogba as usual played a good match and pushed the team forward.

Only 2 matches to negotiate. Europa should now be the top priority (for real!) We can rest players for the Arsenal match but knowing JM he will not want to lose to Wenger, which really means both are out of top 4.

 

I think both are out of top 4 tbf. I think we've gifted Livpl top 4 rather than them gaining it tbh.

 

Ha we have been ****e, but the table doesn't lie so let em have this one.

 

The RS are now odds on to get that 4th place. They are celebrating on their board but you never know

I wouldn't put it past JM to nick a win at the emirates which will prolong the tension. But the reality is that it would take a v.huge effort for United to finish 4th. Save the players legs for the semi ...and if we go through then the final.

 

I haven't even bothered checking about the other Europa SF. Was it tonight?

 

4-1 to Ajax at home. So it will be a battle at OT next week to play Ajax in the final

 

Wow! Fantastic to beat a team and club whose turnover is about 5% of United's, who have a support that is about 1% of United's and a squad that cost less than the fee paid for Pogba. And you only beat them 1-0. Massive underachievement!! Living in Mallorca, I support the La Liga teams in Europe so want these teams to continue winning in the European Cup competitions!! Enough of the bitterness on my part.

PS: Hope you manage to stuff Arsenal but I suspect it will be a 0-0!! Damage limitation and all that.

 

IF we make the final, it really could go either way imo. I'm more confident about the two legged games than the final itself tbh.

 

How would you feel finishing 4th and winning the EL and thus depriving Liverpool or City of a CL place? I would imagine the smiles would be a wide as the River Mersey.

 

Surely you're two months too late with this doom-mongering

 

They've changed the rules I think so all 5 would qualify.

 

All my xmases have all come up together

 

Finish 5th and win the EL then Everton qualify for the group stages of the EL and whoever finishes 8th goes for the qualifying rounds. Leicester the way the season is finishing.

 

No. Only the top 4 qualify

 

I think he meant that we actually finish 4th and win the europa league causing one of them to come 5th.
