How much did those three get valued at, before this season?

According to Man Utd’s supposed bid Lingard alone is worth around £65m

They've definitely drawn a couple. Game on

I don't think that's the point with energy drinks.

Wouldn't be surprised if the home fans leave early, after all they've got the longer journey home.

 

RE a final v Man City, we don't have to beat them as such, a draw and then penalties would do it (says Mr  straw clutcher  here). I can see it though, 1-0 down, late Vardy equaliser, is there extra time....who cares, then penalties, happy days, carabao and champagne all round!

Zzzzzz... *Oh*

Didn't see that one coming...

I'm sorry, I'm not having it, it's unfair and unrealistic to call Phil Jones a pub player. Some pub players have a degree of mobility and co-ordination.

Always makes me laugh when a player gets knocked down potential head injury then a teammate comes and gives them a pat on the head

That don't look good for KDB - *phew*

By my medical reckoning he shouldn't be allowed to play again until, say, a day or two after the final.

Man City are psychologically weak. 

[Vacamion]

 

Can only assume that Pep told them to lay off 2nd half to help them flog more tickets for the second leg.

[steveherbe]

Any idea why Maguire isn't playing, are they saving him for the relegation battle?

 

Injured against Wolves apparently, bruised ego.

This young Utd side holding Man City out in the second half givess us hope, a bit of bravery and fearlessness required.

This may well be true. But did you see the stats for Leeds v Arsenal yesterday? Totally different halves. Momentum can make a difference.

He severely injured his upper thigh when he put his wallet in his pocket

It really is quite alarming how much Solskjaer gets away with it from the pundits. They keep going on about him getting it right 2nd half  **** me they were 3 down, Man City obviously took their foot off, the game was won.

 

It's unbelievable. I'd be gutted hearing ex players defending us operating like this.

[Tuna]

Man United still have a slim chance with that goal back. 0-3 and it's game over.

Media have their favourites who seem invulnerable to criticism. See Eddie Howe and Roberto Martinez when he was at Everton.

Contrast Solksjaer to van Gaal who they attacked mercilessly.

Man City battering Utd. De Gea already made 2 very good stops.
