- As full Premier League debuts go, Tyrell Malacia nailed his for Manchester United last night. He justified his inclusion in the starting line-up and left his calling card. The left-back spot is now his to lose. #MUFC
- Erik ten Hag on if it's his biggest win at #MUFC yet: "Yes, I think so. We had some good wins against L'pool and Arsenal at home. But I think this, over two legs against Barcelona, who are the leaders of La Liga, eight points ahead of RM... if you can beat them it is a big win."
- Manchester United midfielder Donny van de Beek does not believe his career will automatically be resurrected just because he has been reunited with Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford. Honest stuff from the Dutchman. #MUFC
- Give the scoreboard operator pay rise right now! 😂 #SWFC

- No Antony again for Ajax against FC Utrecht today. Manchester United remain confident of signing him before the end of the transfer window. #MUFC
- Former Manchester United director Michael Knighton, who came close to buying the club back in 1989, has confirmed that he wants to purchase the Reds from the Glazer family. He has described United as being a "club in crisis." #MUFC

- Reflecting on Diogo Dalot's performance today, Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag said: "I'm really happy with the development of Diogo. I think his defensive positions are growing from game-to-game." He was exceptional today, particularly defensively. #MUFC
- Marcus Rashford for club and country in all competitions this season: 👕 Appearances: 4️⃣0️⃣ ⚽️ Goals: 2️⃣5️⃣ 🅰️ Assists: 8️⃣ There can't be many who have performed better this term. Outstanding numbers. 👏 #MUFC
- For all of the abuse and criticism this man has taken over, let's be fair, a large portion of his Sheffield Wednesday career, he has hit back in the best possible way over the last few games. Nothing short of outstanding in the last three matches. So pleased for him. #SWFC
- As expected, Antony has been left out of the Ajax squad this lunchtime for their clash with Sparta Rotterdam amid ongoing reports that he has gone on strike in an attempt to force through a move to Manchester United. #MUFC
- Towards the end of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's tenure, certain players, regardless of how they performed, were guaranteed a starting berth every week. There is no chance of that happening under Erik ten Hag. You have to earn your place. #MUFC
