Rooney makes history with his late minute equalizer off a wonderful free kick that looked to be a cross but found the top corner instead vs Stoke and take away a point on the 1-1 draw. United's unbeaten run extends to 17 games in all comps. They probably deserved far more than a point. Pogba, Mata all had Grade A chances in the 1st half but they just couldn't bury. Pogba and Mkhitaryan continued to recklessly attack the Stoke defence over and over again but Grant kept them in check. Lingard, Rashford all made positive impacts coming in for Mkhitaryan and Fellaini including Lingard hitting the bar in the last quarter hour of the game. Overall, United deserved the win for dominating most of the 2nd half but would gladly take the point rather than going empty handed. Go United!

Mourinho and United look to give Mourinho a nice birthday present and that is finishing off Hull in the EFA Cup, in which United hold a 2-0 aggregate lead heading into the 2nd leg tonight. hope they finish off this Hull side and try to win a treble this season (FA Cup, EFA Cup, Europa League and/or EFA Cup, Europa League, Premier League::D). Go United!

Another big win by United as they start a new unbeaten streak beating Wigan easily 4-0. Smalling, Fellaini, Mkhitaryan all got on the scoresheet. Schweinsteiger, who made his 1st start this season, scored a goal and added an assist and Mourinho confirms he will be in the Europa League roster. Great to see Schweinsteiger doing well again. Hope he's earned Mourinho's trust and continues to show great showings when he's called upon. Go United

Gutless, &^@#ing gutless performance today from everyone bar DDG. Every single player and coach should be &^@#ing embarrassed by that performance, after the rest of the top 4 drop points the day before, you go out and give that type of performance! Pogba if that's what £90M buys you against the last team in the table, it's a &^@#ing disgrace. Matt Busby is surely turning in his grave right now. If any United fan tries to take a positive out of this game, you have no idea what you're talking about. 

 

I dont think ive ever been this upset after a United game in my entire life. Slim chance of making the top 4 now, EL is our best hope to make the CL next season. If this game isn't a wake up call to the players and manager that what they are producing right now isn't good enough, than nothing is. Fair play to Marco Silva who looks like he his turning Hull around, very good performance by them. 

 

I pray that I see a much better game on the weekend.

Terrible performance this afternoon by United at home vs Hull getting a disappointing 0-0 draw. The 1st half showed signs of promise though. Pogba had a solid chance after Ibra flicked over Carrick's pass perfectly for Pogba but the keeper made a decent save, though Pogba should've done better. didn't watch much of the 2nd half and thought that they were going to roll to a victory but guessed wrong apparently. Putting Mata, Smalling, and Rooney provided energy when they entered but they just couldn't help get one by the Hull keeper. Happy that we at least got a point out of it and kept the unbeaten run going but they have to make adjustments real fast with a pretty heavy schedule and here's hoping they beat St. Etienne who have Pogba's bro so it won't be an easy stroll in the park. Go United!

Some good news ahead of this summer's transfer window though... Griezmann might join United after his contract talks with Atletico fell through. edit: apparently a agreement has been agreed upon and United would have to just trigger his release clause.

Solid win today by the Red Devils over Leicester 3-0. Didn't catch the game but kept myself updated through the United Twitter page. Mkhitaryan made a good run from center circle and blasted it by the Foxes' keeper. Ibra continues his impressive season scoring his 20th goal in all comps and 15th in the PL. That's pretty great for a Swede in his 1st season and he's the oldest player to do so. Mata continues to be a reliable contributor this season as he finished a brilliant one two by Mkhitaryan and he coolly finished it off. Hope United keep it going. They have the longest active unbeaten PL streak and if they convert more of those draws into wins, then they'll be in top 4 easily with Liverpool and the Gunners struggling. Go United!
