Transcript

00:00Hello, everybody. Welcome to the United Stands.

00:03I'm Mark Goldbridge, and Manchester United are through to the next round of the Europa League.

00:08This is what matters. This is what it's all about.

00:11And I just want to say from the very start, Ruben Amirim deserves a lot of shout-outs.

00:15Yes, Bruno. Yes, Dorgoo. Yes, Xerxe. Yes, Heben.

00:19Actually, Casemiro, Rasmus, Deleu, Deleu, lots of good performances tonight.

00:24But Amirim deserves a massive shout-out,

00:27and it will go unnoticed by people who don't think on a deeper level.

00:31You know it on the watch along. I know it.

00:33First half, United, that was a 50-50 game.

00:36We were misplacing passes. We were shooting. We were hitting long balls.

00:40Somebody needed to simplify that game.

00:42Second half, completely different side.

00:45Less long balls. Nobody was shooting from stupid areas.

00:48It was a completely different approach.

00:51They simplified the game, and we were much better, chance after chance after chance.

00:56The penalty came from a brilliant bit of play between Bruno Xerxe and Rasmus,

01:00and that's what led to the penalty.

01:01The red card came from a brilliant ball from Zach Xerxe and a brilliant run from Dorgoo.

01:07And you've got to take your hat off because for months and months,

01:11we've heard about system. He's got to change the system.

01:14He needs to change the system.

01:15You know, all these Pratt ex-players and pundits got to change the system.

01:19Why the system won't work. Why the system will never work at Man Utd.

01:23Why he needs to change the system to what?

01:26They never told us what system it was going to be.

01:28There's nothing wrong with the system. The players probably just aren't good enough.

01:32But they are getting better with it.

01:33And I mean, what we saw in the first half is the problem.

01:37There's no way Ruben Arrim's sending them out to hit long balls and shoot from distance.

01:42And at half time, he has to say to them, stop hitting long balls and shooting from distance.

01:47And they do it, and we play better, and that's what he's up against.

01:50It wasn't a 90-minute performance.

01:52It was a 45-minute performance. And against a better team,

01:55you might be going in at half time, two or three, one down.

01:57So still lots of work to do. And I think people need to realize that.

02:01And the players take the credit. Of course they do.

02:04But Arrim definitely said something at half time, and it made a big difference.

02:08And fair play to the players who responded to it.

02:10It's almost like they go into a game, and they're like the rabbit in the headlights.

02:14They just, they don't simplify the game.

02:16And they did second half, and it was so much better.

02:20Bruno was fantastic. Casimiro was fantastic.

02:22Xerxe continued it. It was a really good second half.

02:25And there's no way, look, Sossiedad deserve to get knocked out for the Poznan in Sossiedad.

02:32You know, chat shit, get banged. But they can't moan about anything.

02:36Their penalty was soft. Our penalty was soft.

02:39The Dorgu won was the biggest penalty of the lot. The red card was 100% correct.

02:44If that had happened at the other end, I couldn't have complained.

02:47And we've won the game. And look, Sossiedad, exactly as I said in both previews,

02:51they don't score many goals. Both their goals were penalties.

02:54And realistically, I'm just happy, happy that the season isn't over.

03:01I can't tell you this week, you've probably felt the same as me. All week,

03:04I've been like, I think we should win the game.

03:07But looking at the games we've lost this season, we could easily lose this game.

03:11If we lose this game, the season is over in the middle of March.

03:14How depressing would that be to be sat here now going, that's it.

03:18The season's over. And it's not like you can look forward to the transfer window

03:22because we've got no idea what money we've got. So it would have been horrific.

03:26So celebrate that tonight. At least we've got another month where this season's alive

03:30because international break, two legs in April.

03:33We're going to at least get to near the end of April, still with the season alive.

03:36I think that's something to celebrate. Don't forget to do your player ratings.

03:39Mark every player out of ten, six being the average.

03:42The link is in the video description if you need to sign up.

03:46It's worked really well since we've brought that system in

03:49and I'm very excited to do the player ratings tonight because actually,

03:53for the first time, I don't know, probably the first time under Amarin,

03:58correct me if I'm wrong, maybe the City game to be fair, maybe Arsenal or Liverpool.

04:03I think we've got a rare occasion where nobody played badly.

04:06Nobody should be getting less than a six. And which, to be fair, you know what?

04:11You can't argue with the players' dedication today.

04:14I just think in the first half they just weren't concentrating,

04:18but in the second half they did and I think it was brilliant.

04:20And I do want to say as well, look, people are talking about winning the Europa League

04:24and that's fantastic that people are doing that because I said in January we'd win the Europa League.

04:29So if we do, I'm the GOAT. But jokes aside, let's get real.

04:35Let's get real. I like the excitement.

04:37Let's not quell the excitement, but let's get real.

04:42Lyon will be better than Sociedad and Athletic Bilbao,

04:46who would be waiting in the semi-final, I think, are better than Lyon.

04:50Like Sociedad are mid-table La Liga and can't score goals.

04:55Athletic Bilbao are top four La Liga and do score goals.

04:59So just because we beat Sociedad, we aren't winning this tournament playing like that.

05:05We're going to have to get better. And let's not forget,

05:09we went 2-1 up in this game because of a penalty

05:13and then we scored two goals because they were down to 10 men.

05:15So we've still got a lot of work to do. So I like the excitement.

05:18I like the buzz. I'm with you. I'm with you.

05:22I'm excited. The season's still alive and that makes me feel giddy,

05:25not just the painkillers, but there's a lot of work to be done.

05:30And we've really got to try and look after this team because you know what?

05:34I look at Xerxe, Gnaccio, Rasmus in the second half

05:36and I'm looking at them and I'm going,

05:38there is such thing as pulling your hamstring or pulling a muscle.

05:41They are playing a lot of games and there are no subs.

05:44We've got no subs for the front three. Whatever you think about them,

05:47we haven't got any subs. So if Mason Mount can get back,

05:51that's one player that can play in that position. If Mainu can come back,

05:55that's two players that can play in that position.

05:57So we need to get some players back because there are still a lot of games to play.

06:01You know, you've got Leicester on Sunday.

06:03You've got an international break. Premier League games are still going to be there.

06:07We've got to protect these players because you know what?

06:10However Amrim did it, however the players did it this week,

06:14they actually kept their fitness levels really high for 90 minutes.

06:19But that's going to be really hard to do when you're playing Sunday, Thursday, Sunday,

06:23Thursday. So we're going to have to look at that. Now,

06:25the reason I mentioned that is because Jose Mourinho did this when he won the Europa League.

06:29It got to a point in April where he started picking reserves in the Premier League.

06:35And yeah, it can be embarrassing because you might get beat by Everton

06:38or whoever else we've got to play, Man City,

06:40but we've got to start doing that. If we want to win this Europa League,

06:44we've got to start thinking like Mourinho did. You've got to start going,

06:47oh, you know what? You know what you can do?

06:48You know what you can do with your Manchester derby pride?

06:51You can shove it up your arse because this is 80 million quid

06:54and a trophy and it can change our future.

06:57People talk about winning the Premier League in 2028. People talk about the new stadium.

07:01This moment now, forget five years time.

07:05I'm thinking about the next five weeks. If we can, we're in with a fight.

07:09We're going to have to fight for it, but we're in with a chance.

07:12It's not the Champions League. It's not Mission Impossible.

07:15It's going to be difficult, but we've got a chance. We have a chance.

07:19I'm not saying we're going to win the Europa League, even though I did in January.

07:22I don't think from tonight you can say we're going to win it,

07:24but we've got a chance and it's going to be a scrap.

07:27And along the way, red cards or penalties might go for us again.

07:30They might go against us. Semi-final, quarter-final, second legs at Old Trafford.

07:35So we've got a chance and then you're in a final.

07:37But I wouldn't say we're favourites. And if we're going to have a chance,

07:41we've got to look after the squad. We can't afford any more injuries.

07:44And to be honest with you, in the Premier League,

07:47I haven't got a problem with playing a few of the kids.

07:50If it means people like Rasmus, Xerxe, Gnacho are fresh for the Thursday night game,

07:56I haven't got a problem with it. And we've got to start thinking about that

07:58because this season would have been over tonight.

08:01So imagine if it was over, you wouldn't have given a shit about the Premier League.

08:04So I still don't give a shit about the Premier League.

08:06It's the Europa League. That's all that matters.

08:09Simply Red says, what a game, Xerxe, Dorgu and Casemiro.

08:13I mean, it's nice of you to throw Casemiro in there,

08:15but I think everybody's going to have their own thoughts.

08:19I saw somebody on Twitter saying, never disrespect Casemiro again.

08:24And I thought, well, if Casemiro played like he did in the second half every week for the last year,

08:28he wouldn't get any disrespect. Let's not take it to the playground.

08:31Like, let's judge it on today. You know, some people have criticised Bruno.

08:34I've criticised Bruno. I've criticised Casemiro.

08:37I've criticised Gnacho in the first half.

08:40I think these things are, the criticism is fair.

08:47We're 14th in the league. Our season was nearly over in the middle of March.

08:51There's a reason we are where we are, and it's a collective reason.

08:54But Casemiro's second half was brilliant. Brilliant.

08:57Explain it to me. I don't know. Why? Why can't he do that more often?

09:01Why was he brilliant second half? Before it went down to 10 men, he was brilliant.

09:05You know, Deleuze made a right cock up, didn't he, at 2-1?

09:09And Casemiro's tackle was brilliant.

09:11So my opinion with Casemiro is he's finished.

09:14Like, he's gone in the summer. He needs to go.

09:16But if he can do a job for us between now and the end of the season,

09:19which he has done, and it must be applauded. Agaté didn't play one minute.

09:23He wasn't ready. Agaté clearly wasn't ready.

09:28Nobody's going to figure that out until we think about it now.

09:30But Agaté clearly wasn't ready. He didn't use him. He brought Collier on.

09:33So Casemiro's job in the last few weeks has been essential, and that should be applauded.

09:39Are we getting value for the money? No. Has he been good for a year? No.

09:43But it's like Matic, isn't it? And we will play Matic in the semifinal.

09:47Ricky's going to love it. Two plus two is Matic. He'll probably be on the bench.

09:50But Matic was shit for a year, and then from nowhere, he suddenly got good again.

09:55It can happen. Casemiro's got to go in the summer, obviously.

09:59The wage is too much for what we get, but I'm not going to knock.

10:02I don't do player FC and I don't do agenda.

10:05And if a player puts in a performance, I'll be the first one to say he played well.

10:09And I thought he did play really well second half.

10:11I thought, heaven, for 18 years of age to play 90 minutes

10:16and be picked ahead of Lindelof, brave from Amirim, shows what he wants to do.

10:21I've seen people in recent weeks saying, why isn't he playing the kids?

10:24Why isn't he playing the kids? And I always said he will play the kids.

10:28Look at sporting. He will play the kids,

10:30but he obviously doesn't feel that people like Amas and Fletcher, it's fair to throw them in.

10:36And yet you'll throw heaven in, in the biggest game of the season,

10:38at 18 years of age, and not pick Lindelof. So Amirim will pick the players.

10:43And I think what people need to learn is,

10:46stop getting excited about young players being on the bench and demanding that they play.

10:51They will get picked if they're ready and heaven is ready

10:54and he proved it tonight and he was brilliant.

10:56Dorgu, first half was off it, second half, amazing.

11:02I could see people in the first half though in the watch along going,

11:05Dorgu's a flop, Dorgu's a load of shit.

11:07And I'm like, this is exactly what people did to Xerxe in September.

11:11And now you're eating your words. Stop listening to that idiot in your head

11:16and start thinking, young player, new signing, need time.

11:20Dorgu was brilliant in the second half and that is 100% a red card.

11:23No one's catching him. He's not going to get caught.

11:26That's 100% a red card. He was brilliant second half.

11:29One is a penalty, one is the red card, game changer.

11:32Xerxe was probably going to be my man of the match.

11:36I thought he played really well. A bit like Rasmus, they both could have scored.

11:41They both could have scored. Some people would have said should have scored.

11:45But the pass from Xerxe, Xerxe's not a number nine and he's a number 10

11:53and he'd be wasted as a number nine

11:55because he's going to be too far off the play waiting for service.

11:58He's got to play in that link-up role.

12:00He's got that Berbatov, Cantona, Bergkamp, you know, he's got that Martial.

12:10I'm not comparing him to them, but he's got that sort of va-va-voom.

12:14Now that's Henri. He's got that je ne sais quoi.

12:17He's got that, fuck the French, he's got that thing about him that's just effortless.

12:24And if he's, I think the big thing with Xerxe is a lot of people wrote him off.

12:29But I think he was thinking about Italy.

12:31And I think in January, something switched where he said he stopped thinking about Italy.

12:37And he was like, I'm a Man United player.

12:39And I think ever since that, maybe he was a bit unsettled.

12:42It can happen. But he's been brilliant ever since January and he's getting better and better.

12:46And for season one, you know, you look at De Ligt, you look at Agathe,

12:50you look at Xerxe, you look at Masraoui, you look at Yoro.

12:53They all got criticised. Gary Neville was saying Man United had a crap summer

12:57and I just don't agree. And in a way, that's pro-Ineos.

13:00But I'm not pro-Ineos and I'm not pro Sir Jim Radcliffe.

13:02But I've always said I felt that that summer transfer window was a good one.

13:07And I always said that I felt that some of the criticisms of the signings were disgusting,

13:11mainly from the mainstream, ex-players, etc. And some of our fans fell for it.

13:16But you don't judge a new signing in the first year. You don't.

13:19You've got to give them a year. And I think all of them collectively,

13:23in their own way, are doing really well.

13:26And I mean, De Ligt was a rock tonight. Masraoui was a rock.

13:29Don't blame De Ligt for the penalty. You've got to make that tackle.

13:32Sometimes you get away with it. Sometimes you clip him and it's a penalty.

13:35So yeah, I thought Xerxe was fantastic as well.

13:37But I can't overstate how important winning that game is for our season.

13:44It puts a smile on everyone's face, you know, and we deserve that.

13:49As a fan base, we deserve a smile on our face

13:52because I've been so worried this week about sitting tomorrow morning

13:57and trying to do a 10 a.m. show and trying to justify the next two and a half months

14:01on some transfer window I haven't got a bloody clue about

14:06and a season that doesn't mean anything anymore.

14:09And we don't deserve that. Manchester United should not have its season over in the middle of March.

14:13And that's what I'm grateful for tonight. Every player, every manager, every coach,

14:18sorry, the manager, look, I know they've pissed us off a lot this year,

14:22but when they do something like that and it benefits us as the fans,

14:25I will applaud it. And it was good tonight.

14:27It was good. There's still a lot of work to do.

14:30I don't think that was a performance where you go, we're going to win the tournament,

14:33but hopefully it's a performance where a few goals, a few beliefs.

14:37I really liked as well what I liked tonight as well.

14:41And again, maybe it's the first time I've noticed it.

14:43I always see the defence doing fist pumps and, you know, bouncing off each other,

14:49but I saw it with the attack today from very early in the game.

14:51I saw Xerxe and Rasmus doing it. I saw Gannaccio and Rasmus doing it.

14:56And they played more collective as a team, as a front three.

15:01And I think that's so important because you know what? I could steal it,

15:05but I'm not going to. At times in the first half,

15:08it was almost like people weren't trying to win the Europa League.

15:11They were trying to win the Puskas Award because people were just shooting from stupid areas.

15:16And I think that's true. And the long balls were there as we discussed.

15:21And you're sort of like, the first 10 minutes were shit.

15:25Considering we all know what a big game this is and it's Old Trafford.

15:29An Old Trafford crowd was brilliant and they're simmering again.

15:32And the first 10 minutes were dreadful. Long balls, giving the possession away.

15:37Sossiedad were the better team. It culminated in the penalty,

15:39but they were the better team. And you sort of like go, how do we do this?

15:43How do we know it's a big game?

15:45How do we know the crowd are up for it and not produce?

15:48And I just think it's that immaturity that Amirim obviously grabbed in the second half.

15:57I think that's what's happened. Don't forget to do your player ratings. Mark every player out of 10,

16:02six being the average. We're going to do that. It's Brandon says it's the system, Mark.

16:06Mr. Glenn Johnson says we have been around long enough now.

16:09How many youth we spoiled the potential off by pushing them too early?

16:12United is known for spoiling potentials as Mr. Glenn Johnson.

16:15I just think there's a lot of people tonight that should be apologising to Ruben Amirim.

16:23I think that the system obsession, it's not going to work, this, that and the other.

16:27It was always going to take time.

16:29And I just don't know why people can't give it time, whether it's a young player,

16:33whether it's a new signing, whether it's a new manager.

16:36I mean, I'm not waiting five years for a new stadium

16:39and I'm not putting up with a shit summer transfer window,

16:42but I will give the manager time

16:44and I will give some of these young players a new signings time, of course.

16:47We had so many good players that I almost forgot how good Dawgoo was, Sir Sebastian.

16:50Overall, it seemed like we played with passion.

16:52It was lovely to be smiling after the game like that, Sir Scott.

16:55It's a lovely feeling, Scott, isn't it? The United crowd chanted Xerxes name the game

16:59after he was subbed early and he reacted, says Lee. Respect to Amirim,

17:03trusting Heaven and Dawgoo on the same side. Heaven is going to the moon, says Buff.

17:07Can't remember last time I didn't want a game to end, says Danny.

17:10Does Xerxes remind anyone of Nani? Says Mrs Stone.

17:13Doesn't me, but might remind some. Sky Germany, Austria said the new stadium

17:17looks like a bowl without a soul. Love that comment, says Christian.

17:20To hear Old Trafford this loud made me cry, says Jonas.

17:23Great result, but I'm no way confident these guys will show up against the Premier League team.

17:27A mid-table Brentford is superior to mid-table Sociedad.

17:30Yeah, but you know what, Red Devil? I couldn't give a toss about the Premier League.

17:34Our record in the Europa League is very good.

17:36I couldn't give a toss if we lost every Premier League game from now

17:40till the end of May and won the Europa League.

17:42I'll be honest. Everyone played well tonight, even Delo and Casemiro.

17:45I'd give Bruno Mano the match with Dawgoo and Xerxes not far behind, says United Nick.

17:49Let's mention the fact that Dawgoo told the ref it wasn't a penalty, says Jamie.

17:52I mean, I love the honesty, but if that was the last minute and we were 1-0 down,

17:56I don't think you'd do it, would you? But yeah,

17:58we're in a position, good sportsmanship from a young player, says Jamie.

18:02Scott Burrows, welcome to Members Club. Mojo's gifty 50 memberships is a legend,

18:06of course. Lovely to do that on a lovely night for United. 46,000 watching.

18:11Make sure you smash a like on the video. Wayne Finnegan says heart, passion,

18:15desire, grit, determination, will to win. Outstanding.

18:18Absolutely fantastic game, says Wayne. For Man Utd fans,

18:21I hope you and Man Utd win the Europa League, says Mamba. Heaven cost 1 million, says Sweeney.

18:26Finally, a reason to celebrate a bit, says Mojo.

18:29Wish we could play Sociedad every week, says Neptune.

18:32Yeah, I'll teach them to do the bloody Poznan.

18:35If United were to win a Premier League in the next 10 years,

18:38I could easily see De Ligt doing it with us, says Connor.

18:41What a game by Xerxes, Dawgoo and Casemiro, says Simply Red.

18:44Mark, do you want him to play the kids in the league for the rest of the season?

18:47Rogen, I really don't care. It's the Europa League.

18:50That's all I'm bothered about now. I don't want to risk players injury

18:54or anything in the Prem. So whatever he decides is fine by me.

18:57So happy that has given me such a lift. Let's go for the trophy, says Simon.

19:00I'm going to Old Trafford for the first time against Wolves,

19:02which is 100% going to be rescheduled. Wolves is on the 19th.

19:06Yeah, it will be. I don't know when we play these games,

19:08but they are definitely in April. Xerxes putting a number of good performance on the bounce.

19:11Would have been man of the match without Bruno. I completely agree, Sweeney.

19:14Robbie Day is a new member. What a game for the confidence, says Lewis.

19:17Bring on the French, says Tom. Louis Enrique and Dembele in the summer, says Chris.

19:23This is the difference between having a proper left back.

19:25It was a great point, Sean. Great point. Manikin says has gifted five memberships.

19:30Do Delo Ode Hoyland one, says John.

19:37Yeah, it's ironic, isn't it? That it's absolutely ironic.

19:40Great point that last week Delo didn't pass the ball to Rasmus for a tap-in

19:45and this week Rasmus passes it to Delo for a tap-in.

19:49Maybe Delo will start figuring out how to cross the ball now.

19:52Today, we saw the United Real United, says Lunda.

19:57Kasimir is going to get drug tested after the game, says Vec.

20:01Corey, thanks for remembering for 39 months. Bruno is the problem, says Paul W.

20:06Yeah, I mean, let's grow up a little bit. We're all in a good mood here.

20:09Let's not try the whole, I told you so, bollocks.

20:11We all know that certain players have played badly over this season,

20:17but I think tonight is not a night for that conversation.

20:20I think the thing is that first half, people were playing as individuals.

20:25Second half, they played as a team, which was the better half.

20:28And I think that's probably what Arim said at halftime.

20:31Stop playing as individuals and trust each other as a team.

20:33And I don't think we do that. I don't think people trust each other.

20:37And that's why people shoot from distance or try a Hollywood pass.

20:41And I think second half, they played as a team.

20:44That penalty came from brilliant play between Bruno, Xerxe and Rasmus.

20:50And they couldn't live with it.

20:52I want to see us do that more. That is the Amrim style.

20:55They've just got to trust each other.

20:57Armin, welcome to Members Club. What an improvement from Deleuze, says Paolo.

21:01I mean, look, I'll talk about Deleuze in a minute.

21:03What do you know about Lyon? Haven't seen them. Don't know much, Dari.

21:07I will have to start doing some research.

21:08I had to say I had to stay back work today over time and we play like this, says DV.

21:13Well, at least we're still in it, mate. You'll get to see us in the next round.

21:16One word to describe Xerxe is elegant, says Koala.

21:20Rail sausage, dad.

21:21Dogu sportsmanship on the pen, says West Rum.

21:24Bruno silencing the haters again. Sit down, Roy Keane.

21:27See, I don't want to listen to that Macedonian.

21:29I think what Roy Keane said was valid, but it's not a conversation for tonight

21:33because when players perform in a Man United shirt,

21:35they're doing what Roy Keane and many of us want to happen.

21:39I told you so is not going to work, is it?

21:40Because next time we play shit and we get beat 3-4-0 and he has a bad game,

21:45you'll all be going is shit again. You just got to judge it on the performance.

21:49Last time, long time since I enjoyed a Thursday, says Dejan.

21:53And just so you know, Mark, the number one as a number is blocked by the filter.

21:56No idea why. Anyway, Dogu, man of the match.

21:59But why are you trying to give someone a one? Nervous.

22:03Dogu was on fire. I would love to have Zubamendi near Agaté, says Desiree.

22:07It's the system. Thank you. Right, I'm going to do player ratings.

22:10Oh God, this is going to work because I've got a stretch.

22:15Okay, let me see if this works.

22:19Okay, there we go. Okay, so I'm just going to refresh one more time.

22:25Hopefully you've all done your player ratings.

22:27So an honour for me would be a six tonight and I agree.

22:31Did nothing wrong. I try to think about an honour.

22:35Well, he ain't a ball playing goalkeeper, is he?

22:40He's not a ball playing goalkeeper.

22:41I don't know whether that's a confidence thing,

22:43but he don't look like a ball playing goalkeeper.

22:46But there was one point in the first half where he made a really good high claim.

22:50He's never going to save a penalty, is he?

22:51So I'd give him a six tonight. He hasn't done anything wrong tonight.

22:56Some people are giving him a seven. On what justification?

22:59Like I don't remember. Oh, there was that shot from the corner on the front.

23:03I don't think he had a lot to do is what I'm saying.

23:05Like you can't give somebody a seven when they didn't have a lot to do.

23:09And I said that in both previews. Sociedad don't create many chances.

23:13Six. Masraoui turned into prime sacker at one point.

23:17I mean, bloody hell, seven. Yeah, comfortable seven.

23:20I mean, this is this is Masraoui, isn't it?

23:22He had one of them games tonight, which he seemed to have for the first three months,

23:25where he was just absolutely imperious and that skill at the end was brilliant.

23:31I love Masraoui. He's been a brilliant signing for us.

23:34And I think he was really good tonight.

23:38And experience, which is so important.

23:41Similarly for De Ligt, again, seven for me. Leader at the back.

23:46Got an 18-year-old on his left-hand side that he helped out a lot.

23:51Organized. Bit unlucky on the penalty, but you've got to make those challenges.

23:55I'm never going to knock a player.

23:57Because people, you know, in that situation, if he leaves him, it's a tap-in.

24:01And then he gets criticized.

24:04It's not really his fault how it breaks the right-hand side.

24:07And it's not really his fault where he is as a defender.

24:10He's got to make the challenge. But overall, I thought, you know, on both legs,

24:15I think we kept them really quiet. And I think De Ligt is playing really well at the moment.

24:19Heaven, because he's 18, I'd give him a 7.5.

24:22I think that to be thrown into that situation and do that and keep Lindelof on the bench,

24:28I just think that I'm old enough, I've played the game, to know that it's difficult.

24:37It's difficult in games of that magnitude for somebody to come in and do that.

24:42And we shouldn't underestimate it.

24:45Ironically, he's called Heaven because he has been a godsend.

24:51You know, you think about all the injuries we've got.

24:53Martinez, Yoro, Maguire, Evans, and him being here has been brilliant for us, really.

25:03De Ligt, I'd give him a 6.5 for the goal.

25:05But I will be honest, if he hadn't scored that goal, I think he had a really quiet game.

25:13I barely noticed him in the first half. Second half,

25:16I don't really remember much apart from one good cross and the mistake that Casemiro bailed him out from.

25:22The goal was good, though, so I'll give him 6.5 because he scored a good goal.

25:26But I actually think he had quite a quiet game up until that point.

25:31And there's still a lot of work for De Ligt to do, if I'm being completely honest.

25:34But hopefully that can be a bit of a bit of a confidence boost.

25:38And he had a different, you know, I agree with Sx64.

25:42He did have Becker, who looked good in the first leg.

25:45So, you know, I wouldn't say it was a bad performance, just probably 6 before the goal.

25:50So 6.5. Casemiro, I'd give him a 6.5.

25:57No, I'd give him a 7 actually. I'll give him a 7.

25:59Yeah, because first half was a bit like Man United, just good bits, bad bits.

26:06Second half, I thought he was flawless, really.

26:09The cover on Deleu was brilliant.

26:12The maturity of, you know, just sitting and running the midfield and playing the right pass at the right time and the right tackle.

26:19It's a shame we just can't have Casemiro of that first year.

26:22It's very clear that it's a speed thing, isn't it?

26:26Like in the first year, he was amazing.

26:29And then obviously age caught up with him because he's never going to get that yard of pace back, which he's lost.

26:35So, but I'd give him a 7 tonight.

26:38I think it was a really good second half, really good second half.

26:42Bruno, I would give him an 8.5.

26:44Yeah, and he's got to have man of the match.

26:46I think when you score a hat trick, you know, realistically, when you score a hat trick, you could be heading for 9s and 9.5s.

26:54Two of them were penalties.

26:56But the second, the third goal was great.

26:59The first, the second penalty came from good build up play from him.

27:03Little bit like Casemiro in the first half.

27:06I think it was a bit good bits, bad bits.

27:09But second half, it was a really good performance.

27:11And he has to be the guy.

27:14I said this at halftime.

27:16He's got to be the guy that simplifies things.

27:19It's all right, Amrim saying it before the game and after the game.

27:22But in the first half, people were shooting, people were hitting long balls.

27:26In the second half, they weren't.

27:28And Bruno's got to play a part in that as well.

27:30So it's not just the goals.

27:31He's obviously played a part in calming the team down in the second half, which is really, really important.

27:36So, yeah, I'd give him an 8.5.

27:39Dorgu, 7.5 for me.

27:41Bloody hell, I'll tell you what, I'm loving this new player rating system.

27:44We're so in tune, it seems like.

27:48Yeah, first half, little bit like Bruno Casemiro.

27:52Little bit good bits, bad bits.

27:55Second half, again, flawless.

27:59One is the penalty.

28:01One is the red card.

28:03Provided genuine width.

28:05I will never stop saying it's criminal how United thought they didn't need a left-back.

28:10Last summer transfer window, the January transfer window before that.

28:14Why Man Utd didn't play with a left-back for so long is incredible to me.

28:18Because at the senior level of football, it's about balance.

28:22And Dorgu brings natural balance.

28:24A left-footed player running down the left-hand side who doesn't want to use their right foot.

28:29And you can see it.

28:31I said this in January, Dorgu doesn't even have to be that good.

28:35As long as he's half good, he'll look good.

28:37Fortunately, he is really good.

28:39And the potential is clearly there.

28:41He's going to have ups and downs.

28:43Like he's going to have bad games and good games because he's a young player.

28:46But the potential is clearly there.

28:48And the exciting thing is that obviously we already know that Amrin wanted Mendes.

28:54And if you watched PSG against Liverpool, you can see why he wanted Mendes.

28:58But Mendes is more further along the road.

29:00He'd be a plan A. Dorgu, I feel, is plan B.

29:04And yeah, obviously you want to get your plan A's.

29:08But you're not always going to get your plan A's, especially when you're Man Utd and where we are at the moment.

29:12So at least we didn't end up with a plan D or E.

29:15I think with Dorgu, you could see him being where Mendes is in a couple of years time.

29:20And I think he's really exciting.

29:22Ganaccio for me, 7.

29:26I think that first half, frustrating.

29:29Second half, a symbol of what happened at halftime.

29:33In the second half, he was much better with the ball and much more part of the team.

29:40So I would give Ganaccio a 7. First half, I found him a bit infuriating.

29:44But second half, he was a threat.

29:46I agree with Shrikhan, really. 6.5 to 7 for Ganaccio.

29:50But I want to give these players a boost.

29:53We've won a really important game.

29:55And I don't really see the point in wandering back into negativity.

29:59We needed a result tonight, and they all contributed to it in the second half.

30:03So I want to give them a bit of a lift.

30:06Because I want them to see that when you play as a team, you get the reward.

30:10And I don't want them to see, oh yeah, well, we played as a team, but I don't like him, he's shit.

30:14I want Ganaccio to know that when he shoots and keeps the ball, people moan.

30:19But when you play as a team player, people will go, yeah, you were really good today.

30:23So I think second half, 7's a fair.

30:26What did I give Dorgoo? 7.5.

30:28I mean, I'm going to give Xerxe an 8, actually.

30:31Yeah, I agree, 7.7.

30:32I'm going to give him an 8, because he would have been my man of the match.

30:35Bruno pipped him with the hat trick.

30:37If Bruno hadn't scored the third goal, I think I would have given Bruno an 8,

30:40and Xerxe an 8, and probably given Xerxe man of the match.

30:43So I've got to be very, very consistent here.

30:46I thought he was good in the first half, and I think he was good in the second half.

30:50He was probably the best 90-minute player.

30:52I think, as I said, with Bruno in the first half, there was good bits and bad bits.

30:56But I think Xerxe, across the whole 90 minutes, was consistent.

31:00Probably should have got a goal. That probably would have got him man of the match.

31:03But also, you're competing against someone who's got a hat trick.

31:07So yeah, brilliant from Xerxe. Rasmus, actually a 7 for me.

31:12I actually think that we've won a game of football.

31:16So I want to be positive. And also, I've given him 4s and 5s for weeks.

31:22And I think from minute one, it was very obvious that it was a different Rasmus.

31:25There was a bit more confidence, a bit more belief.

31:30It's a shame he didn't get the goal, and he probably should have got the goal.

31:32But I think there was one on his right foot where he could have scored.

31:35But the assist was really good. The link-up play was good.

31:38You could see that they were working as a team, especially Xerxe and Rasmus.

31:44And look, it's all we've got for the rest of the season.

31:47So I'm hoping that they can build on that.

31:50But I mean, 6.57, I'd say similar performance to Ganaccio, really.

31:55But it was definitely better than a 4 or 5,

31:58which is what we've been getting for the last few weeks.

32:00And I thought the assist for Deleu was really good.

32:03I mean, the skill. He skinned that player. He cut it back.

32:06But it's not just about that. He needs to add goals.

32:09But you've just got to keep your head up and hopefully they will come, really.

32:15There are people in the chat who are still calling him horrible names and stuff.

32:18And those elements of our fan base,

32:21I don't really think you deserve to even celebrate tonight.

32:24You're strange people. We're a team.

32:26We won as a team. And as a fan base, I think most people are really happy.

32:31It's strange how even on a really important, positive night,

32:36you're still riddled with toxicity. But some people want the world to burn.

32:39Some people want to be proved.

32:41You know, I think there's people out there watching that game who actually want us to lose so they can moan.

32:46Most of us didn't want that to happen.

32:48Collier came on and did a good job. 6.5.

32:50I think Collier, if he can stay fit, is going to be a really important player for us.

32:54Didn't notice Ericsson much, to be honest. I'd give him a 6.

32:57And as I said, 7.5 for Amirim. 8 if you want.

33:02I'm happy that you're higher than me.

33:03I think, as I said at the start of the video, we were not where we needed to be in the first half.

33:08And that just shows you he'll have done all the work in the week.

33:11He'll have given the team talk. He'll have told them what to do.

33:15They didn't do it in the first half the way that we needed to do it.

33:18It was too equal. Halftime, they listened. And that's what he's up against.

33:22I do think it's a football IQ thing.

33:25I do think a lot of these players will have to go or learn.

33:29And not all of them will be able to learn.

33:31So he is doing it with maybe two arms behind his back.

33:35Certainly one arm behind his back.

33:37But as I said last week against Arsenal and Sossi at Attaway,

33:42he coached a win and the players masterminded draws.

33:45Today, at halftime, the players masterminded a draw.

33:49And in the second half, he coached a win and they did it.

33:51So team effort, players, manager in unison and fans.

33:56Happy days. Man of the match. If he hasn't got 90% or higher, I'll be stunned.

34:01What? Bloody hell. I tell you what, fair play.

34:05Because I would have thought Hat-Trick, he'd have been 90%, but 72%.

34:12Xerxe in second place with 18%.

34:17And then Dorgu in third place.

34:21But look, he is man of the match. No doubt about that.

34:24And a fantastic performance from Manchester United.

34:26And as I said, I need some rest.

34:29I'm in absolute pain now, but I would not have missed it.

34:33And I'm glad I spent it. Oh, what a perfect day.

34:37I'm glad I spent it with you. Just really positive.

34:41Really, really happy. Great that every player got a good score.

34:46And hopefully they're all there tonight,

34:49realising that if you play as a team, you get the rewards from the fans and on the pitch.

34:54And we played as a team in the second half.

34:56We passed, we moved, we trusted.

34:58And we need to do that more because that's what the Amram system is all about.

35:02Thanks everyone for watching. Get yourself over to the player ratings.

35:07Sorry, get yourself over to the fan forum in Manchester.

35:09I'm trying to think what we can spam them with.

35:12I would say we're going to win it all.

35:16Take care. Thanks for watching.
