Wasn’t it!

2-0 up then 4-2 down and coming back to win by a single goal in extra time.

The manager there has a huge job at old Trafford though. Some poor players on massive contracts.

Reminds of Jack Lester saying he would need 4 transfer windows to build a side- just to let contracts of these poor players run down

A new hope.

Manchester United letting another lead slip yet again. Great to watch as a neutral but there must be heart attacks and second thought slit wrists queuing up outside A&E even now after that.
There's very few times over the last 60 odd years that I couldn't name or even recognise, the majority of the United side. Who'd get in the Liverpool, Arsenal or Man city teams out of those on show last night?
It was a great spectacle but they need a massive clear out at the end of the season.

Yeah he's the only one. And I reckon he'd be a regular starter for any of them, not just a squad player. Only other one I rate is Garancho. Mainoo not bad. So much expensive dross there it's untrue.

They've got themselves stuck in between a rock and a hard place regarding the squad.
Does the manager try his best to dump 90% of the team and start from scratch which could take years to seriously start challenging for honours or
trim the really awful players, add better and take a chance with a half good half bad team/squad which could blow up in his face.
I expect Amorim to be as bald as an egg in a couple of seasons - if he lasts that long at MUFC

Yes, I like Bruno, neat player who gives his all, I wonder if we can put in a cheeky bid lol.
I just can't understand how so much money has been spent on so little talent, but what hasn't helped is the revolving door method of replacing the managers. There's been some excellent managers at Old Trafford, but what have they done since Ferguson got out his tartan travel rug?
