    H: I don't care who the opposition is, let's build the confidence and get these players playing again.

    Amrul: Yes it's only Cardiff but it was also only Wolves for Liverpool yesterday despite being top nothing is settled in December

    Cardiff 1-4 Man Utd

    Manchester United's defensive problems have not gone away. They are opened up rather easily by a long punt forward, Kenneth Zohore running down the left channel to outpace Victor Lindelof and shoot low at the near post from a tight angle. David de Gea blocks with his legs.

    This is the Man United that Cardiff City fans didn't want to turn up.

    Victor Camarasa is handy over a set-piece. The Spaniard knocks another free-kick into the United box, this time going deep to the back post where Sol Bamba is waiting. The centre-back uses his size and strength (possibly illegally) to get above his marker, only to head wide of the post.

    James: I think people are getting a little carried away, we are playing Cardiff

    Steve: Let's not get too carried away - this is Cardiff, not Man City / Liverpool, Spurs or Arsenal ... this sort of result should be a given

    David: Don't say it. Don't say it. Don't say it. Calm down, it's only Cardiff.

    Kadeem Harris is the next player that Cardiff manager Neil Warnock turns to, Junior Hoilett is hooked.

    And from the resulting corner, the ball drops to Phil Jones in the box.. chance! But the United centre-back scuffs his shot and drills low straight at Neil Etheridge.

    Paul Pogba is showing signs of why Manchester United paid nearly 100 million quid for him. A drop of the shoulder, a cut inside and a wicked right-foot shot from distance has to be acrobatically tipped over by Neil Etheridge.

    This could be a chance. Cardiff win a free-kick on the right-hand side, Victor Camarasa clips it in and Callum Paterson meets it. But the Bluebirds striker can't keep his header down and test David de Gea.

    Cardiff have a decent spell of possession, but aren't threatening United at the moment.

    Neil Warnock is still prowling around on the touchline, OGS is chilling in his dugout seat.

    Reality check United fans: you're playing Cardiff.

    But it has been very, very promising though, of that there is no doubt. Hunger, desire, freedom. They do look like a different team.

    There is a warning sign though as David de Gea has to be alert to parry a shot from Josh Murphy.

    R: Lindelof ALMOST provided an assist to Rashford for a goal. WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THESE PLAYERS??

    James: 13 attempts on goal after 60 minutes, probably more than the past 3 games combined

    Jason: Very early days, but do you think PSG will be quite so happy now?

    What an opportunity for any Manchester United player. I know it's only their first game under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer but today they look like a team that can challenge for the top four.

    Victor Lindelof turns into the defender that £30m should get you, confidently bringing the ball out into the Cardiff half and slipping a wonderfully-weighted pass to Marcus Rashford.

    Rashford holds off his marker but skews his shot slightly wide. Good move.

    Here is Zohore. The striker replaces midfielder Harry Arter.

    Looks like Cardiff manager Neil Warnock is going to make a change first though. Kenneth Zohore is readying himself. Cardiff could do with Kenneth Branagh. They need a Hollywood plot here.

    A conflab amongst the Manchester United coaching team after the celebrations for their fourth goal had subsided.

    I wonder if Solskjaer is thinking of a change.

    He does have a lot of injuries and this game is won. Huddersfield at Old Trafford on Boxing Day.

    As soon as Lingard gets into the box it's danger. But I think he's looking for it. It's not enough to bring him down but enough for Lingard to feel him. And modern-day footballers, as soon as they get that feeling they go down.
