That is absolutely brilliant football. We’ve said it for a long time. How can a manager not get a tune out of the likes of Martial, Pogba, Rashford, Lingard, Sanchez, Mata, Lukaku? You can still have issues at the back but why has this type of football been so rare recently?!

Can’t say the free-kick was down to Ole but, in general terms, the likes of Rashford, Martial, Lukaku, Lingard etc. will benefit from his experience & knowledge. Always aim for the corner, like Ole. Always aim for the corner of the goal was his mantra.
