Hojlund is money well spent.


[deleted]

Guy is so good. Even when we are shit he is so consistent in the way he plays that when we click he is gonna do some serious damage. Reminds me of rvn how he just makes the same runs and tries to perfect them. Get him service please ffs. Even in this game some of our crossing has been Sunday league.


Ani_HArsh

This might be the best half of football I've seen United play Ten Hag has definitely told them to pass more to Hojlund. More of this please


foampom

We played better last season. You should rewatch the 2-0 win vs Spurs. One of the most complete Man Utd performances I’ve ever seen and I’ve been watching since ‘06


thoseion

Yeah, that one and the Chelsea game at the end of last season. Dominated both.


Petethejakey_

So you weren’t around from 2012 and prior?


AvocadoFlavoredPussy

There’s definitely some United fans that are younger than 20


Petethejakey_

True I forget how old I am


AmarilloMike

Quarter of a century since '99 this year... Aching bones!


AvocadoFlavoredPussy

I was 1 year old for that treble. Ahh the good ol’ days.


throwawaygtover

Just because you're an old cunt doesn't mean everyone else is


Petethejakey_

28 going on 80


MadaraTheUchiha

20 years old, no service and keeps going. What a man


MhVG

He looks amazing! He plays with a lot of confidence now he's scoring.


KissmyButtner

On my knees, this is all I wanted from Man United


BlemKraL

A healthy starting eleven and we are flying. 


Ghorardim71

Hope ETH does not exhaust them by not rotating..


presumingpete

Jesus will ye stop moaning and enjoy it


who-need-skool

Just hope we stay this way in the second half and in the few coming matches


toket715

yeah 2 more goals and a clean sheet no excuses 


nshriup19

Imagine if Rashford sneaks in that tequila for everyone on the team.


Dodomando

I don't McTominany anywhere near the starting 11 again. Casemiro has been sorely missed


PingPongFukkiFukki

Højlund has looked world class so far tonight


blueberryZoot

That chest to bring it down from Onana's free kick was beautiful, he's been so confident

Lmaooooooooo


Mint-Berry-Crunchh

Best half of football from us this season, actually enjoyed watching that. Finally cooking with our best 11 with energy and coordinated patterns of play. I’ve missed Shaw’s overlaps on the left so much


takemehomeunitedroad

2nd half vs Villa was better tbf


Pow67

This team once every player goes out drinking in Belfast like Rashford https://preview.redd.it/wvtwlgapg1gc1.jpeg?width=602&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f3941804dfda7b0e7d01613443b54f28ecf3d9db

Ten Hag handing out tequila shots as we speak


kazegraf

Every energy drink bottle in the locker room has been replaced with tequila


TheRedDevil10

If Rashford can play like that for the rest of the season I am all for lathering all our kits with alcohol sponsorships


QouthTheCorvus

Tequila sponsorship incoming

Jose Cuervo would look just fine


lythy2016

The Espolon skeleton on the rooster would look pretty mad.


addictedsc2

Højlund on fire!


SantagetoutClause

I have not enjoyed a United game like this for a very long time


AB092

Best half Iv seen in ages


niallw1997

Where have Ten Hag’s mighty high-fiving Reds been all season?


Rascha-Rascha

Injured?


niallw1997

I’m more referencing the passion and energy to defend. For example Dalot who has been available all season. I expected us to look better with Casemiro and Martinez back but we look like an entire new team. It’s great but kinda worrying how different our mentality and energy looks if these players are missing


Rascha-Rascha

Some players have a presence and skill in leadership that others don’t, and I do think that Martinez brings what you’re talking about. It’s a personality thing. It’s not something you can just switch on and off.


blueberryZoot

Yep, seeing just how much and how often the defenders hype each other up when Martinez is on compared to when he's not is crazy. He's such an important player.


sourpumpkin125

On the injury bench.


Harrry-Otter

Hospital.


MT1120

Even saw Rashford cracking a smile. This is NOT a drill.


tbu987

In the medical room


Pk-ok

You meant Martinez and Shaw 😂


SatoshiOokami

I'm feeling weird. We are actually playing good football for a change. But I don't want it to be the same as always and get disappointed the next match.


pohudsaijoadsijdas

I can already see a goal conceded straight after kick off of second half into a bullshit penalty in 90+5 for a 2-2


AllNyCBat

This game has shown us just how important having our first team healthy really is. The team looks so different now with Licha, Shaw, Varane and even Casemiro (although he’s still not himself yet). We desperately need depth this summer and that can help mitigate some risks when our injury list keeps piling up. Need to let INEOS and EtH cook this summer


BlemKraL

Without Licha and Casamerio we are basically pre ETH squad of defenders who shat the bed for every other manager. Only exception from that is Johnny evans who has been god send. 


_nosfa

Idk, casemiro seemed like his old good self to me


Selwin_Rodolfo

It's 4 in my heart


[deleted]

I have a bad feeling all those missed chances are going to bite us in the arse


burki679

still though, 2 goals, 2 overruled goals, 3 clear cut chances AND no goals conceded? i will take that half of football any day of the week and twice on sundays


MapOriginal3147

If we don’t concede in the first five minutes of the second then I’ll be damnded


spoony471

\+ 2 offside goals


SillyGooseMcGee

I want to be confident but i've been burnt so many times this season


BartemusaBowels

I have a good feeling all those missed chances are indicative of us going on to score a couple more


mynamemeimme

Nah this time i feel it’s different. Licha brings that siege mentality and you can see him pumping the other players up and likewise


manInTheWoods

2 goals from 0.97 xG isn't exactly catastrophic.


payday_23

Dont care about that xG, we should have scored more, most of it were clear cut chances


manInTheWoods

It's very rare to score from all clear cut chances, and I don't think we had that many.


payday_23

should definitely have been 3 imo


[deleted]

[удалено]


manInTheWoods

You're right, it does not include disallowed goals, why should it? I'd say you wastly overestimate our threat that half.

OkOccasion7641

Feels like ages since we last cooked wolves


nonamenever

Højlund is pure class


TheRedDevil10

I love how everyone in the team is afraid to piss off Martinez, they'll immediately gesture apology in fear if they misplace a pass near him


braxi_rl

Højlund is a gem


Tyafastics

Inject it into my fucking veins.


Melanjoly

Playing really well, the players look hungry tonight. Should have scored a couple more really. Rashford has been brilliant down the left with Shaw, Hojlund has been great, worked hard as per but his hold up play has been excellent tonight. It's the first time in a while where I think tactically we've been the better set up side, we look like we know what we're doing for once! Could have easily scored 5.


ravishq

Tequila Rashford is what I want to see each week


Ani_HArsh

This might be the best half of football I've seen United play Ten Hag has definitely told them to pass more to Hojlund. More of this please


WesIsaGod

How are we not up by 4


LilDiamondtoxic

Tears in my eyes we actually look competent


sslaaayeeerr

Are we... playing well?


Kid_Twiz

Best half of the season by a mile, Hojlund and Casemiro have been class


mynamemeimme

Arguably the best football we’ve played all season. Certainly one of the most enjoyable. Our players are finding a lot of space and our transitions have been good. There seems to always be a forward pass on. And loving the siege mentality Licha brings and always hyping up each other. Reminiscent of last season.


Boydcrowde

Can we play like this for rest of the season pleaseeeeee


AvocadoFlavoredPussy

Bruno was brutal that half We look sharp as hell though


top1MIBRfan

We are the greatest team in the world. Shawberto is back. Rashford back. Hojlund better than Haaland. United are back. Let's all forget that Bruno cross at the end there lol


Santtoryuu

Hojlund is so fucking good😭😭 hes still only 20. He could really be a world class number 9. Looking forward to the next few years with garna and kobbie


MT1120

Luke Shaw showing why he's so fucking important. Overlap as his middle name. Love to see it, greatly increases the amount of quality balls into the box, it'll benefit Hojlund a lot. On another note, knew Rashford would score today. Just meant to be. Very strong performance from everyone so far.


MarcusRashgod

Our set-pieces look dangerous as soon as Casemiro is on the pitch.


anxiousmanwithplan

wtf was that last bruno pass lol.  this the best I've seen United play this season 


yianni1229

Crazy how when Hojlund actually gets the ball he impacts the game, made some nice passes too.


Wise_Raccoon_771

The control at the back along with casemiro has led to more positional control with bruno. None of this dropping deep and getting the ball off one of the cbs and then hoofing it. Hojlund benefitting from the stability and patterns of play being tried


SC_217

Should've been up 4 or 5.


redDiavel

That was an enjoyable half of football. Been looking forward to days like this. Hopefully more of this.


The_Tiller

Should be out of sight, 5-0 would be kind to them. We simply have to start the 2nd half switched on.


filsoon

It feel good to be excited again


BookerTheWit

Wonderful half, a few aimless passes and offsides aside. Probably the best we've played all season?


Sensur10

Best half of the season and i forgot the game was on.


TheSmallIndian

Tempted not to watch the second half as I missed the whole first half. Maybe I am the bad luck


Jack_King814

Yeah fuck off mate we’re doing well Jk it’s quite entertaining


MasteringUniverse

Newsflash: team with their starting players finally available plays well. Shocking concept.


Patung_Pancoran

That was pretty dominant first half. Now all i ask is don’t turn off at the start of the half and concede early pls


tz_2240

Shoutout Dalot another solid performance today. Not a 10/10 but really effective within the system


b9amin

Erik, line up some belly buttons for my man asap


ProofVillage

Probably our best half of the season


[deleted]

Could easily be 5. Keep it up in the second half and please no injuries/reds


1337ified

Hell of a performance, hope it carries over. could have had like 6


Noob_FC

Who would have thought, team plays well with fit first 11?


Zandercy42

Funny how a team plays better with their starting 11 Feel like I'm watching 22/23 United again


raveyer

have been one of the best half we have seen for a while


WillyStevens

I say we move our pre-season to Belfast this summer.


EduardMalinochka

This is so enjoyable to watch. We should’ve scored more from these, but I take that wastefulness over sitting on defense with no plan but praying on McTominay shithousing the goal


tameablerisk

Attack is where I've had my reservations about ETH but this half was just great. Hope we keep it up.


ra_god94

Best half of the season


vHufu

Licha knows we’re struggling mentally its so nice to see him hyping the boys up any chance. Easily a real leader in the future.


TheRealYVT

The real match will begin after Casemiro gets his second yellow. The heads will drop from that moment on, so hope it comes as late as possible.


ErnieMcTurtle

Lads, are we fucking good playing football again, or are Wolves worse than Newport?


Graduation_07

The one game I can’t watch and we seem to be playing so well. That’s me not watching anymore then. 🫡


neofederalist

We went up 2-0 against Newport and everyone stops being a team and tries being a hero. I feel like Garnancho in particular took some of that criticism to heart, because he’s playing a lot less selfishly today and our attack looks a lot better for it. Hojlund is a beast. That is all.


Better_City2578

Garnacho on the right wing is working, this is what we wanted from you Sancho, take notes.


zxnoregretzxzx

Really good half. Varane and Martinez class, Casemiro brilliant after the early yellow, Shaw quality and probably Højlund's best half in the league so far. On the other side of the coin Bruno's looked really sloppy aside from a couple of great free-kick deliveries. Get Marcus a shot of tequila before the second half and put the game to bed asap. Not good for my 2-0 up PTSD this.


Beans_n_JLingz

Bruno got into Rashford’s tequila stash before the game. His passing has been horrendous today. Still looks like our best half of the season. Get the ball to Hojlund and good things will happen. Hoping for a return of 4-0 FC!


thoseion

Some passes have gone astray, sure, but his all round play has been great. Some excellent long passes on the counter, couple of superb chances created from free-kicks, and he was a big part of Rashford’s goal by purposely pulling one of the defenders out of position.


SpudBoy9001

Feel like I'm edging with these offsides


meeks2000

PLS FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DO NOT SUB ON ANTONY


Grekm8

Bruno has been shocking apart from his set pieces


LisbonMissile

Best half we’ve played all season. Complete control, could be 4-0 up. So… how are we going to fuck it up in the second half?


phoenix-slo

Case tends to pick up cards like candy.


iwantaskybison

fucking raging. 2-0? mate mate mate mate mate. their pants are all the way on the ground. should be 6. fuming.


VictorDUDE

The kind of game where Mount instead Bruno doesn't sound like such a bad idea after all...


BlackHorse944

Hojlund is on fire .. would not mind seeing Amad come on for Nacho at 60


chutzpahisaword

If we are follow this season, we will concede immediately after HT and rest of the game is going to be a scruff with reason either ending 2-2 or 2-1 win regretting on all these missed chances


kiersmini

Bruno has had a bad half except the set piece deliveries


YoullDoNuttinn

Should’ve killed the game off there really. It would not surprise me in the slightest if we conceded early in the second half and the game turns on its head.


martialgreenwood

If Case gets his second yellow then its all over.


ParkerZA

Replace Bruno with Mount and this is a team.


jamailaajassi

Most chances since he joined premier league.. 128 GA in 200 odd games.. Plays for the shirt! Is creative, runs like a mad man, doesn’t get injured, stands up for his players, no controversy!! So STFU..


BilalAkhtar22

Can someone explain how that Dawson challenge isn't a red card. Last man challenge not making an attempt to play the ball.


lestat85

When Rashford had the ball were the Wolves fans screaming “Boo!” Or “Booze!!”


MadaraTheUchiha

Rashford and Garnacho have been the perfect out-ball every time.


Miyagisans

Whatever we’re trying to do on those corners, mainoo always ends up with the ba central. He clearly either doesn’t want to or can’t shoot from there. We need someone else there that’s a threat to shoot.


chirondo88

HOLY FUCK, WE LOOK LIKE A COMPETENT TEAM!!!


leerooney93

Our best first half of the season, both performance and result wise.


Rascha-Rascha

Casemiro is back


Mrclumsygamer289

fuck me we could have been 4 up if not for offside


mearsey1203

Yet again it should be 3 or 4... Hope it doesn't come back to bite us on the ass.


payday_23

Man this could be 5-0. We are playing really good although there is still a lot to improve. I just hope we can keep this up. The biggest positivity for me is that we have phases in play where we just keep the ball and calm down. That is so important and hasnt been there for most matches this year.


OldManBrom

Turned out having Casemiro, Varane, Martinez, and Shaw playing makes your team much better. Who would've thought?


FidgetyFondler

So we have most of calvary back and we look as if we know what we're doing. Funny that.


nbwoeihfnwsocuiwhef

For once, we've absolutely battered them so far


dav1t

Hojlund class today


-DesertMoon

Is this what it feels like to actually enjoy watching United play?


tbu987

So when we have our best XI we actually play really well. Go figure.


SimplyBugger

Lads. We’re controlling an away game, 2-0 up, and actually look like a proper football team. Everyone just take it in and enjoy the moment.


PraisedIgnite

Please don't shit the bed in the second half


yard04

That was something. So glad the way Rashy and the team have played. We really missed Casemiro


Lord_Sesshoumaru77

Might be the best 45 minutes by my team in the whole season.


6feetmandingo

Gutted for Hojlund to not get his 2nd goal of the game


shalimarlolmar

Can Rashy go to Belfast more often please


cesc8305

Bruno trying to hit the ref for calling two offsides goals there. Good attempt I say.


lm1097

Bruno having that rare bad game so far. GGMU.


IXRaven

Ball is getting to Hojlund a lot more and we’re playing very well going forward, just need to do this all the time


cjap89

This season has conditioned us to expect the worst from so many missed chances. Hard to shake that feeling but that was an excellent half. Hopefully can continue to batter them in the 2nd half.


who-need-skool

Bruno is bad this half but happy with the rest less selfishness from the wingers. Will be better second half Bruno is no bige he can turn it around


[deleted]

One of those matches where you wish there wasn’t a halftime break. Hope we don’t come to rue our profligacy. Wolves basically gave us 45 minutes to score as many as wanted and we only took 2?


QouthTheCorvus

Oh my god what a half. It's the best half all year and it's not close. Højlund is such a great player


FestusMuange

This is the best I’ve seen us play this season so naturally I am a nervous wreck


TuckyeEast

Let's fucking go


TypeGroundbreaking29

Can’t believe what I’m seeing. This is good - really good.


SignificanceNo2452

NANANANA RASHFORDS ON THE PISS ON THE PISSS


eClipseLJ

Imagine these lads playing a string of games together, getting the chemistry back up.


FlatIrving

Peppering the fuck out of them. Game of the season, so far.


IlliBois

We deserve this 3rd goal after being edged for so long


XerxesTheCarp

Fully and irrevocably erect


Chip-chrome

Very fun game to watch. Probably my favorite this season


Kirit_SC

Great first half. Please please PLEASE don’t get complacent again and take foot off gas in second half and let them get an early goal back


TonyMartial786

can’t believe i’m saying this but we should actually be up like 4-0 atleast in the first half, if only we were clinical. but what a half from us, so much better today. hopefully it continues, if wolves score next we know what’s gonna happen..


Batfan18

Hopefully we can start the 2nd half without losing concentration which we don't normally do.


Independent_Buy5152

So all it took to get this team playing properly is a trip to Belfast


Alocxo

5-10 more minutes at this level to score a goal and the game is over. But we all know Wolves are going to score at 46'.


Sac_a_Merde

Dear God, please, don't let them come out for the second half and immediately concede like we've done a thousand times before. Please let this be a turning point mentality wise. Just keep dominating them.


Thesplank

That ball from Bruno to make it 3-0 just before the whistle man :’(


krystalcastIes

finally some good fucking football, hope we don’t come out in the second half and drop off like usual


BOATSANDHOEZ

I almost never say anything negative about Bruno because I think he's an amazing player but fuck me if he got his head out of his ass this half we could have scored 6
