Destruction said :
Offside. Rashford actively participates in the game. Prevents the opponent from playing or being able to play the ball, entering into a duel for the ball with the opponent.


The debate is still going on in the news today, not offside from my point of view as Rashford didn't touch the ball. Admittedly I'm highly biased ;)

There was a similar incident a while back where the goal was given:

A shock for Liverpool yesterday!
Pick of the games today is the north London Derby at 4.30, should be a good game.

Yep I loved Ronaldo but he just didn't fit in to the way United are set up now.
He was brilliant as an individual but never much of a team player .


We'll be halfway through the season this week so it's probably early to say where United will finish, but things are certainly looking a lot healthier than previous years.
I'm cautiously optimistic.


I'm really keen to see how (or if) Weghorst fits in, hopefully he'll be available on Wednesday.


In non-United news... rumour has it that Chelsea may be looking to sell Sterling :O
He's only just joined them.
This is a weird season :P

Weghorst could be making his first appearance for United tonight, I'll be watching with interest!

There's also the rather interesting news that Jim Ratcliffe is back in the running to buy the club.

First time United haven't won in 9 (or is it ten?) games.

A draw isn't bad though, Palace were really hard to break down, and it puts us in third place, for a time at least.

Just need City to beat Spurs tonight to keep the 3rd spot.
Then we've got league leaders Arsenal at the weekend, that going to be tough.

Weghorst was... ok. Nothing outstanding but a decent performance for his first outing.

Six Premier League games to look forward to today:

Liverpool vs Chelsea
Bournemouth vs Forest
Leicester vs Brighton
Southampton vs Villa
West Ham vs Everton
Palace vs Newcastle

Liverpool v Chelsea is the pick of the bunch for me.

This thread is gradually turning into "Rooh goes on and on and on about United" :P

Loads of FA Cup action today, no huge surprises so far.

Spurs take on Preston in an hour's time, I expect Spurs to give them a whupping, I'm predicting 4-0.

At 8pm it's United vs Reading.
Normally I'd say it's a good time to play some of out youngsters and others that have been benched recently, but I don't think Erik works like that.
