Meanwhile, on the other side of the divide, there are some pretty unhappy Newcastle fans in our matchday discussion.

Robert D: If we don’t win the final game then Howe needs to start looking for a new job. The magic is gone, and he can no longer get them ready for big games. It’s not like this MU is a juggernaut form years past…. they are pretty ordinary.

Daniel K: Why start Trippier if he’s only fit enough to play 60 mins? Why have Pope on the bench if he’s not fit enough to start?

WHY can’t we turn up in the big games?

Tom S: That was absolutely putrid, we well and truly bottled it tonight. Can’t see us winning at Brentford, either. The squandering of numerous chances tonight is unforgivable. We have a mentality problem when it comes to the ‘THE’ biggest games, the ones that really matter, e.g., tonight, Milan at home, League Cup final last season, I just don’t think we have it in us. We made a heavily ridiculed centre-back pairing look respectable tonight. Utterly rotten.
