                                Manchester United 2 - 2 Derby County (first 90 minutes)
Surely the end of the Mourinho era here. Manchester United against a puny little Derby somehow manages to get into the penalty shootout where Derby manage to grasp onto a 9-8 win where all shots went in and Phil Jones manages to miss for United. A few things must be taken into account though such as many star players like Pogba and De Gea were given rest with Fred on the bench, and of course the unusual team changes must have resulted in worse teamwork unlike Derby who played their best, team-working, determined eleven players. Secondly , a red card was given to Sergio Romero which caused Juan Mata to be substituted and Lee Grant to come play in goal! But Manchester United were playing at home so is there really any great excuse since Derby were showing the better performance for most of the match. Manchester again had to rely on plan B Fellani who did save them in the first 90 minutes with an injury time goal.

Facts learnt today:
1. De Gea is the only reliable goal keeper
2. Manchester United should have started Fred
3. Martial and Dalot are fantastic
4. Lukaku needs to step up his game after 2 misses
5. Mata isn't good enough despite getting onto the scoresheet
6. Man U need a change of tactic.
7. Mourinho must be sacked. Right?
