Biggest win at Old Trafford for 46 years. A win away against the ‘top six’. Second in the table, 100% record. It’s a great feeling. Well done, to Poch and all the players.
Yes, they had to dig deep in the first half when United, as of old, swarmed all over them but they had, as a team, resilience and worked through it in the second to make United seem confused and toothless. They also had one player, someone they’ve not had at Old Trafford before, to make the difference in Lucas Moura.
Here are our ratings.
Danny Rose - 4
No. Not right yet at all. Standing off players he should put under pressure then when he committed himself he almost gave away a penalty and got stupidly booked. (OK, he was facing Pogba and United threatened principally down the flanks.) The temptation is to settle for the more workaday Davies. It depends on whether Poch thinks Rose can improve and find that elusive form of two years ago. It depends also on whether he stays.
