Just means arsenal didn't win their group.

This has late goal from corner, 1-1 draw written all over it. Once again we should be through comfortably but just can't score.

by Ent Thu 25 Feb 2016, 8:19 pm

Martial out injured.

Have tic wonder about training and preparation. Never had this many injuries

That Dutch guy will be mouthing off on Twitter

Ratchford, fair play 2 debut goals.

by Jermaine2015 Thu 25 Feb 2016, 9:39 pm

Manchester United debutant 18 year old Marcus Rashford saving LvG tonight. Double for the debutant.

3-1
4-3 AGG

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Thu 25 Feb 2016, 9:40 pm

Fantastic for Rashford, and that second goal was down to some great play by Varela. From what I've watched Varela, Riley and Rashford are the best United players. Confidence and pace. Maybe cos they haven't had it drilled out of them by someone...

by Jermaine2015 Thu 25 Feb 2016, 9:50 pm

Ander Herrera PK seals the deal for Manchester United

by Ent Thu 25 Feb 2016, 9:51 pm

Depay has been superb.

Thought Riley was the pick of the youngsters.

by Hammersmith harrier Thu 25 Feb 2016, 9:52 pm

We've made a crap team look like a crap team tonight, makes last weeks result look like even more of an abomination.

by Jermaine2015 Thu 25 Feb 2016, 9:53 pm

Memphis makes it 5. LvG getting a rout!

by Ent Thu 25 Feb 2016, 10:00 pm

Only Lazio of the Italian teams through- good for co efficient.

by Fernando Thu 25 Feb 2016, 10:08 pm

It'll be better when Bayern dump Juventus out.

Some good ties in there, Europa league might be watchable

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 26 Feb 2016, 12:22 pm

Spurs-Dortmund should be really good

by Guest Fri 26 Feb 2016, 12:41 pm

Wife supports Utd and I've already had her gloating twice this season, not sure my marriage would survive a repeat in the Europa League

by Guest Wed 09 Mar 2016, 9:11 pm

Chelsea 1-2 PSG - Zlatan

Pretty much goodnight

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Thu 10 Mar 2016, 7:29 pm

What a beautiful goal that was

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Thu 10 Mar 2016, 7:31 pm

Not often I agree with Robbie savage but I'd be seriously peeved at that team selected tonight if I were a Spurs fan

by Duty281 Thu 10 Mar 2016, 7:40 pm

This is a great boost to Tottenham's title hopes.

by lfc91 Thu 10 Mar 2016, 8:03 pm

Pretty much our strongest 11 (bar Moreno obviously)

Fellani starting, wonder what Uniteds tactics are going to be....

by lfc91 Thu 10 Mar 2016, 8:06 pm

Boom straight into the long ball to Fellani

by Guest Thu 10 Mar 2016, 8:07 pm

Annoying Spurs rotating & sending out that side, really wanted to see them test themselves vs Dortmund. Ist turned into a big anti climax that tie. They have Villa at the weekend too.

by Fernando Thu 10 Mar 2016, 8:30 pm

They should of gone for it. Could play the U12's vs Villa and still win 3-0 comfortably. That being said much like Southampton under Pochettino they are starting to tire.

by lfc91 Thu 10 Mar 2016, 8:38 pm

But for a world class keeper this game would already be over

by lfc91 Thu 10 Mar 2016, 8:51 pm

Hate how good he is. Hurry up and go to Madrid!!!!

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Thu 10 Mar 2016, 9:40 pm

I want extra time at Old Trafford and Liverpool to win it. Or Liverpool to win about 4-0 at OT and Van Gaal sacked. Come on Liverpool, make it painful.

by **Hero** Thu 10 Mar 2016, 9:55 pm

Thought you hated Liverpool and were a closet Utd fan? Wink

by lfc91 Thu 10 Mar 2016, 9:59 pm

Never thought I'd be disappointed with a 2-0 win over United.

Dont worry, no one will remember this moment of weakness if I say something disparaging about Liverpool

by **Crimey** Thu 10 Mar 2016, 10:30 pm

Great performance, really enjoyed the match. Can Fellaini do anything other than be a lump to kick the ball at and elbow/kick other players? He has regressed entirely as a player over the last three years.

Liverpool score one goal at Old Trafford and United have to score 4 so pretty confident at this stage.

by Ent Thu 10 Mar 2016, 10:40 pm

Fellaini hasn't regressed, he's always been Poopie and we don't play to his strengths.

Disappointing result given others against Liverpool this season.

Not surprised by lvg though.

by **Hero** Thu 10 Mar 2016, 10:41 pm

Oh you're through, we'll top it off losing to West Ham at the weekend in the Cup and our season is over.

by Guest Thu 10 Mar 2016, 11:05 pm

The lack of an away goal will kill Utd I feel.

Unless Spurs win the title then tonights team selection was a mistake. Why not try for both? Time will tell.

by **Hero** Thu 10 Mar 2016, 11:11 pm

by lfc91 Fri 11 Mar 2016, 7:47 am

That's a bit too close to home hero...

by compelling and rich Fri 11 Mar 2016, 7:59 pm

wrong boxing match there, that fight was dreadful. morales and barrera might have been a better match

by Guest Tue 15 Mar 2016, 10:30 pm

Manchester City through 3-1 on agg, although Otamendi & Kompany got injured. How long before they start questioning his future?

Atletico Madrid through to quarter finals on penalties
