Not at all ,imo. Better to revel in the amusement of how low we can sink under the fraud, rather than consistently getting worked up about our poor results.

We could lose our next 5 matches 3-0 in a row and he'd still be the manager. It's beyond a joke.

Nah, i'm with you on that one. I've already written off the season in my head, so any results don't  really matter. It's not like were going to win anything with him at the helm.

I actually think it would be better to crash out of Europa too, to avoid facing a decent team and the humiliation that could result.

Comfy win. Nothing much to say there. Shrewsb were poor.

Btw I will be really sad if Pereira leave us. Looks a better AM than all the others we have got. Has got good close control to thrive in that role. Can see him turning into a real star for some other club and we well, end up regretting as usual.

Shrewsbury Town 0-3 Manchester United: FA Cup fifth round

Louis van Gaal has named his starting line-up for Monday night's FA Cup fifth-round meeting with Shrewsbury Town, making three changes to the side that lost at Midtjylland.

Guillermo Varela returns from injury and replaces the cup-tied Donald Love at right-back, while Cameron Borthwick-Jackson, who missed the Europa League trip through illness comes in at left-back. Daley Blind, who played at left-back in Denmark rejoins his regular centre-back partner and captain for the night Chris Smalling at the heart of the defence, with Morgan Schneiderlin replacing Michael Carrick in midfield.

rashford

nothing like a win over the gooners with a makeshift team composing of reserves and youth to boost morale

3 pts behind city now although they have a game in hand

watford and west brom next in the league, we can't afford to drop any points before 3 huge games against city everton and spurs

That was totally out of the blue. WOwww. Really buzzing right now. I dont want to sound OTT but the kid does look like he's got it in him. His build up play and shielding the ball is very Martial-esque.
Cant wait when our no.9 returns and pair up with this kid.
And delighted TFM got the debut. I am uber excited for that kid. Apparently our best talent behind Pereira. Need to see these kids more now.
No more rooneys and fellainis and valencias ffs pleaseeeeee!

Our best game of the season bar none. Well done to all involved.

Varela and Memphis shun, and Rashford shun the brightest. The latter proving that we don't need to go money crazy chasing talent from abroad, we just need to trust our academy players. We have potential world beaters if we give them a chance willingly, rather than wait for injuries to introduce them to starting 11.

I don't wanna get too caught up in the whirlwind of this great result because we do tend to do well in the big games under LVG, it's trying to emulate such results against the lesser teams, such as Watford on Wednesday and begin to build a momentum going.

But I will enjoy this result for what it is, a big feat managed by our youngsters, who stepped up to the plate and weren't intimidated by a title chasing side.

The ups this season has been few and far between, but I'm beaming today....and very proud os Man Utd.

Also, LVG dropping on the floor and being animated on the touchline was class. I'm not a fan of his, that's no secret, but he has provided us with some genuine classic moments through his character.

That 1st half was a slap back down to reality. Lucky to not be 3 or 4 goals down.

Blind has had a shocker.

what a week...

still don't think we will qualify for CL but at least we have a shot now

FAR from a convincing win but we got the 3 pts when it mattered

even with city now although they have a game in hand

3 Pts! we're still alive

Woah...my throat took a battering when Mata scored.

Big 3 points!

Really impressed with ma boy Timothy Fosu Mensah. 18 year old and playing most of the time as a one man defense against probably 2 of the toughest in the physical sense strikers of the league and still managing to hold his end up. His pace and athleticism are quite simply top notch. Need to be a first teamer backup from next season onwards. The potential is overflowing. And he needs to be in midfield too where he can be quite a handy box to box or even alongside Smalling in CB.

And Rashford well, it seems we have found the answer, the kid is the right sided Martial! Buy a new striker of the Griezmann or Aubamayang mould and play these 2 from either sides. It is going to be pure sex.

Not feeling confident about this match. These pulis pricks are a pain in the arse to play against.

Hopefully we bag a few early goals to calm the nerves.

dumb red for Mata

Thanks a lot Mata. Thanks a lot you idiot.

It was a soft second yellow, but he shouldn't have gave Mike Dean a reason to book him.

So brainless from a so called experienced player.

That ultra defensive team is already hard to break down with 11 men, let alone 10 men.

Smh

Mike Dean most card happy ref there is too

would take Lingard off for Memphis and Varela on for Darmian

That Morgan for herrera sub killed the small momentum we had. And shortly after we concede. Blind shocking at defence again.

This team is just shocking and doesn't deserve champions league football next season

One step forward 3 steps back.

This team are not capable of winning 3 games in a row in the league.

Proper mid table standards.

He subs on mensa for Darmian for the last 8 minutes. Lool. *bleep* clown fraud of a manager.

Killed us with his shit subs again

It's laughable how much we struggle against the smaller clubs under lvg. Pathetic. No wins against them in 9 of the 15 matches played this season. Grrrr

Darmian for Mensah lmao that inspires goals!

what a *bleep* waste of time.

awful *bleep* subs, AWFUL.

Herrera off for Schneiderlin
Darmian off for Mensah

2 defensive subs when needing a goal.

We're fcking sh*t.

I don't know why I allowed myself to get my hopes up. Why do we do it to ourselves???????????????

This team is full of failures and cowards. The prize is always within their grasp, but they find a way of flopping.

Fck them.

Juan Mata doing his best Chris Smalling impression at the worst *bleep* point of the season. Absolutely shocking subs too. Do something right, undo the right thing, and do some more wrong. Story of LvG's reign.
