    Ole continues to get out of jail because of strikers he has but there is definitely something amiss and it is him as a coach. With a Klopp Guardiola or Conte this team would achieve.

    Alan, Horsham

    We've had this ever since Martial came from France. People said it wouldn't work out and it was 50m wasted, then he scores again. Great player.

    John in Teesside.

    Utd fans' frustration doesn't come from entitlement. As the educated football fan knows, it comes from having one if the best squads in world football, and playing slow, turgid football - there's no coaching and no plan, he just throws 11 players on the pitch and crosses his fingers.

    All the noise inside Old Trafford is coming from the home fans.

    United are unbeaten in their last 107 Premier League matches when leading at half-time.

    Man Utd 1-0 Everton

    A couple of positives for Everton to cling to.

    United haven't kept a clean sheet at Old Trafford for ages.

    Also, there's been a fair bit of stoppage-time drama at the venue in the past few days.

    Everton are not only chasing the game, they're also chasing the ball as United enjoy a good spell of possession.

    Noodles: Scoring one goal doesn't nullify months of justified criticism, especially when it's his first goal since February. United still haven't played well either. Harsh on Everton to be hones

    Marc Quinn: Is it about time Bruno gets more respect in the game? KDB seems impervious to the sort of criticism Bruno gets when he has a bad game yet Bruno has better stats than anyone in midfield for the last 18 months

    Corner to United which is only half cleared to Mason Greenwood who is lurking on the edge of the box. He lets fly from about 20 yards but it's straight at Jordan Pickford.

    Former UFC champion Khabib Nurmagomedov is in attendance at Old Trafford today, taking time out from his Q&A events.

    Last month, the 'Dagestani Eagle' claimed that he "knew" Cristiano Ronaldo would be returning to Old Trafford as the two speak "almost every day"., external

    Khabib added:, external "I think that Manchester United is more suitable for him than Juventus. For me, the transition was not a surprise.”

    Anyway, I'm heading down to London to see him at the O2 tonight, so he best not get stuck in traffic on the way down.

    Isaac Vaughan: The unselfishness of Bruno. What a team player.

    Troy Darcey O2: Great to see Greenwood developing to an all round class footballer. He's getting better and better in every aspect of the game, great pass to Bruno before Martial's goal.

    John Conway: Anthony Martial - I can't tell if Solskjaer is a genius or just making it up as he goes. Excellent team goal, great finish.

    Another game, another assist for Bruno Fernandes.

    It was his 50th goal involvement in 58 Premier League appearances (30 goals, 20 assists).

    Only Andy Cole (43), Alan Shearer (54) and Eric Cantona (54) reached 50 combined goals and assists in fewer games in the competition.

    Everton have played well and Anthony Gordon has put a real shift in.

    But the quality of the goal for Manchester United, sometimes you have to concede the wide areas and Martial holds his line well and it is a great finish.

    But I think it is harsh on Everton

    Khan Karn: Not good by Pickford. Way too easy, it was straight at him. Everton the better team overall though. Man U lucky so far

    That goal makes all MUFC and Martial negative comments null and void:

    Red Nev in Sussex.

    Does that goal really silence critics? This United team is clearly lead by talent and not coaching, imagine what Conte would do with a squad this good.

    Manchester United have been waiting a while for that.

    Anthony Martial last scored for United in their 9-0 win over Southampton at the beginning of February.

    It was an excellent move and a good finish.

    United top of the table as it stands.

    That's going to completely change Rafa's half-time team talk. They had been fairly solid up until Anthony Martial's goal. Now they've got to find a way back into this.
