Can't be the only one hoping Old Trafford turns up tomorrow. Never mind the players. Every single fan entering that ground should be willing to bring the noise and fight. Don't care if we make a mistake or aren't attacking .Need to leave the negativity outside & support the boys for the entire match

Fletcher's only real mistake tonight was simply not waiting a few minutes to do the subs after we had scored. I know he had to limit Bruno's minutes but we lost a lot of momentum & leadership when he's not on the pitch. The defensive change also maybe doesn't help either & we just needed to settle

The silly goal conceded was a combination of poor defending and a wicked deflection. Other than that we have had a goal ruled out and two goal line clearances. So its not all to bad. Just wished we actually played with some form of pace. Think it only takes a goal & the confidence will bring the win

Think this is a superb touch . The minutes applause for those who passed away in 2025 . West Ham did similar last night and at the start of a new year I think it's a class touch.

Sorry Crawley but that's simply brain dead. Why on earth would you think it's a good idea to be leaving any ball in Starcs first over ,let alone one that's shaping back into your pads. This England side should have been thinking we need to basically go out & survive till tea time tomorrow to draw

Sesko needs to actually put some effort in here. Looks like he is only half awake. Needs to fight to actually get the ball

England's top order fail pretty much any time they come up against a decent bowling unit. This ashes series has made that clear as day. Crawley has serveral weaknesses all you have to do find the one it is on that day & you get him out . Little bit of swing & that normally helps that happen earlier

Given how well Van Veen has played this championship and who he beat to get to the final I was expecting a competitive final but Littler is another level . How he gets any better I don't know but I'm sure he will find a way somehow he seems to just find a way 🎯🏆

Actually don't deserve to lose that. We were the better team for the majority of the match and villa got saved by Rogers. Bruno's injury is a worry but not as much as the absence of anyone to actually get past a man which was missing without mbuemo or amad. Martinez in the DM works as expected.

Wolves deserve that cos United are just constantly offering them the ball back in our own half. No idea from anyone to look like we actually want to attack and score goals.

Zirkzee with a great finish and gave a decent performance too . A much needed win after Everton. Need to take that same intensity and aggressive play into all our games. Old Trafford needs to actually support the players come Thursday too !!

As poor as the performance was on the pitch. OT as a ground full of fans played its part in that tonight. Barely any support for the lads on the pitch far too many bemoaning everthing that went wrong & have been spoilt with success to even know what it means to support your team isn't playing well.

Best team goal I've seen in some time that from United Women. from back to front all the way up the pitch. Think another goal and United win this.

You know what's the understatement of today's match just how much Lammens looked solid without after having to really pull off any decent saves. Yes they hit the bar 3 times but barring the isak chance he's didnt really get tested. He simply had to do the basics well and he did that. #UTFR

Mainoo as a 10 looks better . Overall though our tempo , one touch passing and passing in the final third has been miles better . Hojlund made better runs in the channels & had chances. Confidence of a run of wins and a couple of decent goals should help ahead of weekend #UTFR

As with the games against Arsenal and city we have looked structured and well drilled but just failing to make chances count and poor decisions in the final third. We need to keep it up and adapt to Thier changes but also offer more going forward too

Don't think we should be over complaining about the goal. Without the deflection I think we don't concede. City got lucky it did. Apart from that we have looked better. If amad can stay onside or we some attacking threat towards walker then we still can create chances. #UTFR
