Why not? They have as much chance as anyone else...in fact probably more with no European football commitments.

Their forward line is very impressive, still think the dynamic changes when the ball greedy Sturridge plays, he's one selfish player. I did say last season...I fear Liverpool this one...especially with Jurgen Klopp settling in and orchestrating his team to his methods and ethos.

They and Chelsea are playing some, how can I put it???....Mesmerising and scintillating football recently. For a neutral fan I can only try to empathise and think what a delight/spectacle it is but being a United fan...it's very painful. Still football is the winner here and that's really all that matters.

Delighted with our win today 3-0 by half time, took our foot off the gas in the 2nd half but still dominated the play and not just possession. Awesome strike by Pogba to set the match rolling and a nice brace from Ibrahimovic.

Great weekend of footy and some wicked results achieved too.

A surprisingly good half for United, pretty close but United clearly on top. Can't help but feel Arsenal could nick this, Sanchez should've scored with the best chance of the game but Cech has had his work cut out and United should be ahead. Uniteds pressing puts them on top, but Arsenal look like a proper footballing side when given time.

No pen for me, an arm across in that position isn't going to bring a player down never mind one with Valencia's strength. It was a dive.

Not a great match, United edged it against a poor Arsenal but got punished. A much better side and game plan from United than in the last big game, but the same outcome. Arsenal again show why they might be more of a top for side than title winners. United would've been happy with that if they'd have had 3 points but with 1 point they are likely to drop further behind.

Thoughts anyone?

At least Mr Turpin wore a mask ......
Manchester United were robbed of a big 3pts today .....thought Pogba looked the player today but was a poor match in general

He looked good but he didn't really do enough and he was playing very "showy" near the end. But that looks like a midfield to build on.

We were robbed, only one team in the match throughout. Sanchez had a very early opportunity where he misguided his header...thank God lol. United passed the ball well and with pace from the start.

Cech made some very good saves and I still cannot understand why Martial was substituted instead of Rashford? Rashford did nothing when placed out on the left flank, I would've liked to see Memphis put on instead.

Still a draw's better than a defeat but this feels like one still. Rashford was to blame for letting Oxlade Chamberlain go past him with ease but it was a good leap and header from Giroud.

Fellaini = Useless - Okay we failed to score a 2nd goal and that ultimately invited Everton to maintain their belief but such a stupid, incompetent challenge by a complete and utter pillock cost us the 3 points.

I think we deserved at least 1-0 but due to not securing that lead Everton deserved something from the match....just a shame or is it coincidence their former player assists a penalty on his 100th United appearance.

That being said had Rojo been sent off and rightfully so then a draw minimum is the least we deserved from Goodison Park. Concerning we can't seem to score the 2nd goal away from home but I think that's because we are too reliant on Zlatan upfront.

Hope to NEVER see the tree in a United jersey again....in fact even a tree in a gale force wind has more control than him.

It was about time someone did what we do best to us. It's a learning curve and we aren't a team of champions yet. This experience will be invaluable in future. 3rd and we're hoping for a top 4 finish, 9 points above United in 6th who are title hopefuls. Make your jokes Ash , you can't beat that.
