@BenMancebo – “Hmmm - looks like pace up top can’t complain with that - the Longstaffs meaning it’s Geordies vs Mancs yet again - TOON TOON.”

@BeatleDouche – “Also I like that Gayle’s getting a chance, hopefully he grabs the opportunity.”

@Jaykennedy25 – “Hopefully we’re up 6-0 before Pogba comes on.”

@Kieranstorey3 – “Easy win.”

@Jack__1955 – “Please give us some absolute scenes in the away end.”

@DisozaPs Ps – “Jonjo, please send those devils back to hell...”

@Nufc_22 - “Just saw the Man U line up. I'm now going for a 6-0 #nufc win

@Garwain – “Joelinton has to put himself about a bit more today. Could be excellent foil for Gayle if he puts the work rate in. These are rubbish at the back.”
