I admit I thought United had gone mad buying Martial, but, hats off, excellent (though expensive) signing.
Blimey, MASSIVE booing from the crowd as Van Gaal takes Martial off, followed by chants of "Anthony Martial" and "we're Man United, we want to attack". Surprisingly vitriolic.
He's going to get told by the Board to change his style. He wint like being told anything. The Board won't like fans at Old Trafford booing or chanting "Attack" at a big Champions League match. This is going to get messy. And funny.
The day he was appointed my United supporting mate text me to say that he was too defensive and negative for United. He said he would get them Champions League, but that is all. He was right. He is not happy. I'm embarrassed they somehow scored three against Saints!
Roy just ripped Ashley Young a new one on ITV. Scathing. I don't think he was impressed with the dive.
Ian Darke (commentator for BT Sport remember) just tweeted - "Arsenal vs Bayern Munich tonight - can the Gunners shock Bayern once more. 19:45 BT Sport 1. Chelsea on BT SportEurope". Was relatively quickly deleted....but....y'know....keep up!
really? Oh dear, that is very poor... although in his defense they didn't turn up last week, so maybe he thought they'd flown out this week
So on to match five. I expect an Arsenal win but doubt it will be enough to see them through as they will have to play in Greece and quite frankly do they deserve anything after 3 limp performances so far? Would love to see Maccabi win tonight but suspect they will not. Think the Manchester clubs will be OK to see things through to the next stage. Most eyes though will be on Real Madrid to see their reaction after the mauling they received at the weekend.
