United 2 - 1 CSKA Moscow

So we've topped group A, something we expected our team to do ever since the group draw in September. We did trail CSKA at half-time but we were the better team and I was sure our players were more than capable of winning the game. We did win the game with two goals scored in the space of two minutes. Lukaku and Rashford got their names on the scoresheet after quite a long goal drought. Perfect time to get your confidence up, just before the derby on Saturday. Rashford was my man of the match. 

Great to see Shaw play 90 minutes. I think he had a really good game but looked tired during the final fifteen minutes. The only 'mistake' he made led to CSKA's goal but the positives outweighed his only moment of lack of concentration. I don't expect to see him start any PL games anytime soon, especially given the form Young is currently in, but he's probably our most talented left-back and I hope he manages to finally realise his potential. 

Not much more to say. We'll await the big game on Sunday. We'll definitely miss Pogba but I, despite being quite a pessimist, have got a good feeling about the game. Come on United!
