    If Martial went down there, he’d have got a pen.

    I think all players are buying cheap frees now, probably unfair to mention any one player.

    There was a big deflection on it?

    Another big sticking plaster. Toothless performance and won with a big deflection.

    Massive blunder by the Wolves defender who left the original ball through

    United must have won the most points in the Premier League in 2020.

    I couldn't give a toss about Ole.

    I don't think he's ultimately good enough for Utd. But he's not the one I'm worried about.

    The fact is that as long as their individuals in attack (mainly Bruno) can cover up cracks in tactics and central defence, then they have enough to beat enough teams in this league to make it a serious race.

    Ole's natural setup is made for big teams, so they'll win their fair share of 'big games' too.

    Another victory tonight for playing football the right way.

    Simon Harris is monitoring the situation...

    Yeah Liverpoool did that a few times and you know what they got for it? Reminded that you get nothing for that!

    Sign of a coming team is about the height of it.

    I feel like this sums up the season for most teams at this point.

    Just stumbling along and boom, something happens. Applicable for any club between 2nd and 17th.

    How did VAR help Coady?

    Genuinely ... was that not ignored because of the offside?

    If Fernandes gets injured then United are really going to struggle.

    You mean the offside handball? VAR looked for offside, anything that came after it is irrelevant.

    No, the hand ball would have been treated on its own merits as Cavani may have not gotten involved. The handball was rejected because his hands were at his side.

    Handled it before the offside and that would take precedence.

    The “handball” came first. Hands were by his side though so never likely to be given.

    United now very much in the title race
    Play Liverpool in 3 games time and could very well be ahead of them going into that game

    That's mental if that's true. And if that's true, they really can't make up their mind about the handball rules.
