I get a lot of the Man Utd hate but I bet all are enthralled with this streak

After years of LVG passing it sideways, the Portuguese Allardyce and the Unchosen one Moyes, it finally feels good to be winning but actually feels good to it being done with a touch of attacking style and Flair

Who`d have thought OGS who whilst doing well in Norway was a disaster at Cardiff and apparently bereft of tactics and ability to motivate would do so well at a much bigger club, can Man Utd really avoid handing the job permanently?

OGS was a superb player, never one to kick in advertising boards, sleep with an array of models or say ignorant things all over Twitter, he just applied his talent to the game whether as centre forward, left winger, substitute or whatever
Similarly as Manager he`s not come in and said stupid things as we have winced all year at JM`s apparent breakdown
It`s not just the winning or the attacking style but the tactics also, really impressed looking at the breakdown of how some of the wins have been achieved
Yep! What a "breath of fresh air" and the only "blot" on this great run of form was that 0-2 loss to a very good PSG side. It's a "tall order" but maybe United could reverse it in Paris esp if they score an early goal. Also I wish the "red devils" had been drawn v Spurs' CL opponents, Dortmund, because they would've beaten the Bundesligue leaders as well as a weakened Spurs' side did it - played them at the right time after many players were hit by a flu bug! C'est la vie!
Interesting what I read that PSG may have played better without its South American star duo?
PSG may be full of fantasy football buys but wow, yes they do have some super class there, but also the ability to spot upcoming talent (Verrati) or help a young player at a big club step upto a much bigger one (Draxler)

It wasn't going to last forever, at least it was to class rather than MK Dons in the cup or something
My hope now is some of the deadwood goes in the summer, players come through thus have heart for the club which I feel is something hugely lacking at say Arsenal and we sign players who are young and hungry who consider the club a step up not sideways for a huge wage
Man U 0 Liverpool 0 was a great example of players "digging in" under extreme circumstances when injury after injury piled up after 40 mins! OGS still unbeaten in domestic matches and it was almost like a victory with Liverpool stuttering and misfiring in a match that they couldn't grasp properly in terms of pushing for the league title.
At the moment OGS looks like one of the most tactically astute managers in the prem, certainly a long way from the guy who flopped at Cardiff City

Did you see Luke Shaw? I hope he can retain his fitness as has really done well recently good for club and country, in fact the defence all together have been underrated
Apparently Ajax Amsterdam want Timothy Fonsu Mensah as a replacement for De Ligt (wherever he goes), I know he has talent but if they see that much potential in him hopefully we can keep him at OT
