Paul Scholes: "Tonight was again a little bit messy. As soon as Raphaël Varane went off, I know they were 1-0 down, it went all over the place again, really shaky. The quality in the middle of the pitch was not great."
Paul Scholes: "Pep [Guardiola] would think he has got a good chance of winning the derby on Saturday. With no Varane it makes it more difficult for Manchester United. They have quality to score goals and create chances but United have to defend properly."
Paul Scholes: "Harry Maguire... I don’t know if he is injured or has a hangover from the Euros, it just does not look right. He is all over the place."
OGS on Varane injury: "First look, felt his hamstring tighten up. Have to look at him tomorrow. He didn’t want to risk anything. First assessment does not look good. Fingers crossed."
Solskjaer on Sancho: "I commit a crime every time I pick a team, there is always someone left out. Jadon will have many, may years as a good player here."
Solskjaer on CR7: "We all have our roles + responsibilities. We are not happy conceding two goals. I'm sure Chicago Bulls didn't mind having Michael Jordan either. Sometimes teams have players who come up with those moments. He is feeling better. He is up to speed now."
Gasperini on his frustration at result: "On a scale of 1 to 100, a thousand. We believed we could do it. It looked like they were all out of puff but we came up against an incredible player tonight."
Rio Ferdinand: "Raphaël Varane covers both sides very well and as soon as he went off they [Manchester United] just looked so shaky, a complete lack of confidence. They went to a four and it looked like Atalanta could get through this team at any time."
Rio Ferdinand: "The intensity was not there. You look at it and you say what formation are they [Manchester United] playing? It was in disarray. Cristiano Ronaldo saved them in the second half."
Rio Ferdinand: "If Manchester United go out with that second half performance against Manchester City they will get slapped again, three, four, five goals."
Rio Ferdinand: "People say [Ronaldo] doesn’t work hard enough but he does the hardest thing in the game - score goals. At that critical moment he steps up - in any country, in any stadium, at any time. He just arrives on the biggest occasions and delivers."
CapitalCee: Nawao, i thought we are haters. You poorgba fan boys were busy find faults with our most important player, just to justify poorgbas uselessness
Some of you are so funny on this Thread. Coz you're tagging us Haters for criticising Bruno doesn't mean we are doing same if you criticize Pogba.
Show me a Proof where I ever called you or anyone an Hater for criticising Pogba.
There is no need to offer Pogba any new Contract. Let him run down his damn Contract and leave honorably. He's free to ball elsewhere, no more at United.
"That first 38 minutes was a classic example of a team who are well honed in 3-4-1-2 and one who have dusted the system off the shelf in the hope of finding some control, arresting slump."
