Ratings & Reactions: Man United v Villa

[gilbertoAVFC]

Sorry, but was that not handball at the end by Maguire?? Not even checked. Won't be mentioned.

[VillaFaninLondon]

We played well, disappointed with some of the chances missed but we were always in the game. 
 

My main gripe was after deservedly levelling after outplaying them all the 2nd half we give a silly pen away. It was soft but the team must know United always get pens if you breathe on them in the box and there was no need for Luiz to go pursue like that as there was no danger on. 
 

Just chalk this one off and move on, we’ve a good chance of beating spurs playing like that.

I don't care for all the hate talk and conspiracy theories. The fact is it was two silly mistakes that cost us. Mings and Luiz will be kicking themselves. 

Pogba also kicking himself

[Herman22]

The pen is a joke. The only think in Pogba's mind was getting in the box and diving. Ref bought it and it decided the game. 

How many fouls did McTomany, Fred and Matic have in the game? Ref only started giving out cards with a min left as he knew he wouldn't have to give a second. 

We were the better team over the 90 mins. 

[NewportStu]

Wasn't it Oliver who overturned the Tree penalty Vs Brighton even though there was contact? If that can be overturned why not that one? **** VAR and **** Oliver.

Did Pogba survive getting shot down by Luiz?

Hope he is ok.

Good team effort, especially in the 2nd half. Think we deserved a point here. 

Manure is always going to get a soft penalty so can't really complain there, it's in the PL rules and everyone knows it.

Our lack of a bench is why I think we might miss out on a top-10 finish unless we strengthen in January.

It's such a joke that opposition fans just accept it as a given!

United players on the pitch celebrating knowing that their donations to PGMOL didn't go to waste.

[darrenm]

I hate these **** cheats. Every single **** time. I'm starting to really despise them. Every time they ruin my week.

[romavillan]

Can't be too disappointed with the performance, we bossed them at their place for most of the game and they are now joint top of the league. We've come a very long way in a very short space of time. 

The Ref however was a word removed. They got away with murder and that's one of the softest penalties I have ever seen, if VAR has upheld it for the brush of socks before Pogba trips himself over then it's a **** joke.

We can't control that though and what we can control we did well enough to get a point. Watkins miss, Davis miss, Mings header, we had the chances to get another at least. Martinez was excellent again though in fairness. Loved Konsa tonight, looks a very very good player on the ball now. We brought on Ramsey and Davis off the bench, no disrespect to either as I like Ramsey but that's not going to worry United overly much. Even having a fit Wes to bring on off the bench might give us more of an edge we need a stronger bench.

Excellent effort, mistake for their goal, some poor decisions and set pieces in the first half, kicked it up a gear after half time and should not have been beaten. We're doing great this season and we're doing it playing actual proper football.

I was looking forward to a win tonight but wasn't to be. 

We played really well - deserved at least a draw but we're cheated by pogba and the ref. 

Not to mention the many fouls he let go - for me you could see the realization in the players that they were playing the ref as well. 

So I'm looking at is as a draw - we were at least as good, and this is as good as a side now level top of the league. 

Not bad considering where we were just a few months back.

Problem for me is kind off that El Ghazi and Traroe are very wasteful with final balls - but they keep coming up with goals. Watkins will bury loose balls that come to him, but in the premiership its those half chances that need putting away - couple more tonight. He is isn't good to pick up the ball and beat a man - and is far from lethal with anything else.

[Talldarkandransome]

Very soft penalty, didnt think it was at full speed and looked even less slowed down. Some things never change...

Prob one of our best performances i can remember at Old Trafford, they kept Grealish fairly quiet and McGinn had a quiter second half.. The version I was watching we may as well have been MUTV, seem to think they are title challengers. With this ref I would agree...

Nothing to fear going forward, improve the squad in Jan and we're good to go

[Annoyman]

Don't think I've ever seen more exactly correct predictions of the outcome of a match. If we'd equalised again they'd have got another penalty.

Cash was excellent today, looked a bargain. El Ghazi looked like he's still hungry and confident. Traore less involved but at least contributing goals and assists regularly. Martinez maybe not at his best for the goal (but he was probably expecting Mings to clear) but immense otherwise including some proper decisive sweeper work.

Not the most dispiriting way for an unbeaten run to end

[Nicho]

I’d like to know how many fouls were made by Fernandes and Mctominay 

[est1874]

Ref done by Pogba - Michael Oliver should be embarrassed.

Watkins very disappointing - about as sharp as a rusty spoon.

Sincerely hope that's the last time I ever see Davis in a Villa shirt.

[MrSmirch]

**** bent word removed of a referee.

brighton, west ham and now this.

VAR meticulously looks for a way to **** us over and give anything to the opponent. 

[cheltenham_villa]

Soft pen but a stupid challenge to make. Glad to see us go there and battle, I was convinced we had a handball shout at the end as well.
