3 – Manchester United failed to attempt a single shot on target in the first half of this game, but have scored three goals from four shots on target in the opening 23 mins & 34 secs of the second half. Turnaround.

This is Manchester united.
This is the football club I love.— Devlin (@devlinmufc) April 7, 2018
The players can say whatever they like. They’re not ‘a family’. They don’t fight for each other. They’re individuals without structure.
Mourinho hasn’t given them one. This is a training exercise for Manchester City. Embarrassing.

Just don't understand what Manchester United do all week to turn up and play like this? There's no game plan. They've seen how to beat City by Liverpool, yet they play the complete opposite. No desire or care whatsoever.
