    More importantly it was straight to the point.

    The Mourinho effect on Sanchez has been incredible.

    It’s a bit “how the mighty have fallen” if that’s how you’re measuring United’s success now.

    Only if you expect United to win the league every season.

    Not every season but I’d expect them to give even this City team a bit of a run for their money.

    Only saw the first half. Going by that, Utd got a lucky result against a Palace side that gave them a lot to think about.

    I think he'll do well for us but you have to appreciate how good Ozil is to see why he did so well for Arsenal. Ozil is absolutely sublime and I've said it for years, he will find his man every single time and preempt the next phase of play. Lazy perhaps but technically there are very few superior to him.

    Only true technical masters can do that, which is why we looked so much better when Mata come on.

    Wasn't luck that got us the win, it was Palace's fear to keep playing offensively. When any team sits back, a team with Lukaku, Sanchez, Rashford, Mata, Lingard and Pogba attacking them, will hurt them.

    Yep. We looked **** at 2-2 because we stopped pushing them as hard and they started giving it back again.

    No luck in that win for me Utd kept going and Palace ran out of steam, credit where due.

    Copy everything you've ever said about Campbell. Paste. Amend Campbell to Sanchez. Take that you bastard.
