Bruno with the dagger. Looks like we'll get that multi-goal win after all. Taking a 3 goal lead back to OT for the 2nd leg? Can't ask for much more than that.

And we managed to give Rashford a decent rest too.

3rd goal was huuuuge.


Now we can rest some guys mid week next week in anticipation of EPL match against Palace the following weekend!

3-0 win really helps with the fixture clutter over the next few weeks.

Missed today's game while travelling, glad we got the W!

Strong* lineup for tonight's game. Same starting 11 as in the League Cup except Maguire comes in for Martinez. Maybe the 3-0 1st leg win has led ETH to use that game for a little rotation?.

* defined in relative terms given that Maguire and Lindelof are the starting center backs

Probably right, hope they get up 2 or 3 in first 60, rest some guys and then play more reserves on Wednesday against Forest. You know Forest will be focused on EPL match for the weekend.

Dominant 1st half as you'd expect but woeful finishing and we're still 0-0 at HT.

Alright...stepped away to walk the dog and walked in to see Casemiro chipping the keeper. 3-0 now. The gulf in talent is now reflected in the score line.

If you want to see who we play in the next round of the FA Cup, turn on your TV in 20 minutes and watch Derby/West Ham.

Are they announcing at halftime or after match? Don't want to watch any more of Derby and West Ham than I have to!

They've already had the draw and it will be the winner of that game. But no one would blame you if you just logged on after 2 hours to see who the winner was.

Ahhhh, my bad. That game was definitely not on the watch list.

Eriksen out until April/May thanks to the ******** Andy Carroll

Oof. That's a big blow. A thin squad just lost a player at its thinnest position. Looks like Casifred for the rest of the season unless United shock everyone with one of last minute transfer rumors floating about.
Dre_00
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Of those rumors, Sabitzer seems to be the most interesting one but I'm still thinking this is a lot of hot air. The player doesn't seem particularly interested in leaving Bayern.

Man that really sucks.
Dre_00
How long do you want to ignore this user?
OK, maybe this Sabitzer rumor has legs?

Dre_00
How long do you want to ignore this user?
OK...definitely has legs if Fabrizio is on it.

Sabitzer would really soften the Eriksen news. He could fit really well in this squad. I'm sure I'm not alone but I liked his game the little I used to watch Leipzig and was really hoping United would get him back when he went to Bayern instead.

America's destiny is not of our own choosing. We did not seek nor did we provoke an assault on our freedom and our way of life. We did not expect nor did we invite a confrontation with evil. Yet the true measure of a people's strength is how they rise to master that moment when it does arrive.

Apparently United kicked the tires for Gravenberch on loan (which is just so ETH) but Bayern said "nein" even though Ryan is pissed he's getting no PT at Bayern.

Well if they are open to selling or loaning out Sabitzer, it does open up more PT for Gravenberch I would assume.

hopefully there is a buy option in there.

Hopefully United don't Woodward this up. Surprisingly good option given the circumstances.

That would be a great loan, especially if there is an opportunity for a purchase.

He's already been seen boarding a flight to Manchester (with video evidence) Anything that lessens McT on the pitch is ok by me

If you're interested in seeing one man's opinion of Sabitzer and what he would bring to United.

Bummer on the no buy option but I'll still take him .

My guess is that would take a lot longer to negotiate and the current owners aren't willing to spend much since they are selling. From their POV, a loan w/o a buy option is perfect. Minimal outlay of money while keeping them on course for the top 4 which makes the asset their selling much more valuable.

Sabitzer is official. That was surprisingly efficient.

Good late addition add. There weren't just a ton of deals happening that caused much envy for me. Obviously the Glazers don't want to spend money, but I'll take this over whatever it is Chelsea is doing; if anything, I hope they haven't screwed up the transfer fee expectations too much for the summer. Last summer when Frankie de Jong was supposedly done except for personal terms I thought it was a lot of cash; after the winter of Chelsea I'm thinking, "Man, hope they can get as good a deal in the coming summer window."

Congrats guys. This is smart business.

He was a favorite of mine back when he played for Leipzig.

2-0 final over NF. Martial and Fred with the goals.

So we play Newcastle for the Gummi Bear Cup.
Dre_00
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Catching up on the highlights and that ball from Fernandes that eventually led to Fred's goal was scream out loud good. Newcastle will be no cakewalk that's for sure. Would be really nice to bring home the first trophy in 6 years and for ETH to bring a trophy home in his first season.

Just noticed we play the League Cup final 3 days after the 2nd leg against Barca.

Varane announced his international retirement at the age of 29. Quite a young age to do so but should hopefully extend his career make him available for more games.
