Manchester United don’t anticipate naming a new captain before the whole squad is together in New York. Erik ten Hag said in Oslo last week: “I don’t let the dressing room vote, it is up to me.” #MUFC

Casemiro’s passing has been on another level tonight. Garnacho to the left, Pellistri to the right, Rashford through the middle. Rashford’s two finishes different but both elite. Goals in eight home games in a row for Rashford. #MUFC

Ten Hag: “I’m not here for myself, I’m here to restore the club. I knew before it was going to be hard but I wanted that because in my career, everywhere I started, the start was difficult but I get it done, and I’m convinced I get it done here as well.” #MUFC

Tin hat time! Liverpool’s front three have scored 38 goals combined in all competitions this season. For Rashford, Martial + Greenwood it is 39. And at a better mins/goal rate. Given their ages, it presents an appealing vision of the future for #mufc

Rashford, Martial and Greenwood have outscored Salah, Mane and Firmino this season – but can they...

Manchester United's new 'MMA' front three still have a long way to go to match their rivals' relationship...

#MUFC have been working on belief Cristiano Ronaldo will stay at club for 2022-23, hence leaving Liverpool to Darwin Nunez. Erik ten Hag could get creative but a Ronaldo departure would put United very light at centre-forward. Targets in other positions being advanced currently.

Facing a defeat that would have raised commentary on his future, Erik ten Hag was bold, went for victory. Freestyle formation by the end but it worked: technical players high up, second balls, bravery in possession. Committed performance from players + major result. #MUFC

Erik ten Hag wants a mobile No 8 who can provide attacking thrust as well as defensive discipline. Mason Mount fits the bill in that regard + is a good age at 24. Much depends on Chelsea fee, however. #MUFC

Marcel Sabitzer feels a very shrewd solution to a sudden problem for #MUFC . Two-footed, technical, high-level experience, pressing. Quick completion too. Club need to get to stage where such transfers are proactive not reactive but finances + sale process dictated this window.
