Here we go 110 episodes I never would have thought it possible. Firstly, to the win in Europe for Manchester United There is so much negativity on here about this result... 'Look. If you can't enjoy a 3-0 win in which all your forwards score moral boosting goals and the youngest of them takes another step forward then maybe football and United is not for you...? With an average age of 21, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer unleashed a Manchester United forward line that looks every bit the future of the club. Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Mason Greenwood fired United into the knockout stages of the Europa League – but, more importantly, offered a tantalising glimpse of what Old Trafford could come to expect from this thrilling front three. All pace, movement, menace and technique – they are the epitome of the modern-day attack. And though still raw – Greenwood has just turned 18, while the veteran of the group, Martial, is still only 23 – they could well be the basis on which Solskjaer builds his United revolution. Against Partizan Belgrade they clicked in a manner in which United simply haven't this term – each scoring picture-book goals and creating enough chances to make a 3-0 score-line even more emphatic. The question now is whether Solskjaer is prepared to stick with an attack that scored two first half goals at home for the first time since January? Also, is this side beginning to move out from the shadow of the absent Paul Pogba and gain an identity and playing style that matches with their enthusiasm for football rather than their social media presence?
