    1-1. Ole safe again. Awful defending to leave him with so much space

    I don’t want to see Solskjaer sacked. I'll miss the calamitous entertainment. But he had absolutely no business getting that job. He belongs in the Championship 2nd division if not lower. A draw might help save him for a little bit longer. Go Everton, do it for the greater good.

    Not sure you can call a wide open header "great". Good play in the buildup, but good Lord that's amateurish defending.

    Good header from Bruno.

    A rare open play goal for him, 2nd in his last 20 games for Man United.

    He was on the penalty spot when he headed it. It wasn't a gimme. Great placement.

    He is used to shooting from the penaty spot with nobody around him though!

    2 CBs and a keeper will be on Carlo's shopping list come January.

    That defence is why Everton will be dropping down the league

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    United are leading against the team who were top of the league, Ole is a tactical genius, give him a contract extension!

    More filth from Everton. If they can't beat the opposition they put rough challenges in.

    Harsh tbh, you expect Rashford to make contact so can't commit to the cross.

    A win would be such a disaster for United. It'll keep the Old show limping on for another month or so and then who knows what their options will be in replacing him.

    Entertaining first half. Everton been awful since their goal. Defence getting torn apart and midfield non-existent.

    Great to see you supporting Man Utd. Well done and about time.

    Personally as a Man Utd supporter I could never see myself hoping Liverpool would win a game, no matter the reasons. But great to see the lads showing support.

    If Rashford connects with the ball then Pickford is going completely the wrong way as it looks as if Rashford is set to head back at the left post (Pickford right)

    Its a soccer match, contact happens. Good to see the players just getting on with it.

    I don't hope Man U win and then I also do not hope Everton win but Man U winning is the lesser of two evils and I do hope that they keep Ole in charge. If they beat a team who are actually competitive on the way to keeping him in position then so be it. You must be pleased with the way the game is going and the likelihood of keeping Ole in situ with this scoreline as it stands?

    I'm sure you were hoping Blackburn beat Liverpool even if it could cost united a league yeah?

    They've a really strong first 11 but there's zero depth there. Probably the one squad in the league who are least able to cope with injuries.

    So you hope for a draw, it that what you are saying......
    Of course I'm Happy with the way the game is going. We are wining.
    I never want to see my team lose.

    If you want Ole to stay in charge then you want Man Utd to win.
    Appreciate the support.
