Confirmed: for the first time ever the video referee will be used during a competitive match. On September 21st it will be used during the Dutch Cup match Ajax Willem II and on September 22nd the video referee will be used during Feyenoord - FC Oss.

Yeah, Mourinho probably thought the game would be over by half time or after 60 minutes or so. The fact that he also subbed in Ibrahimovic, Depay and Young (all attacking players) also showed that he definitely wanted the win. Well, guess he was out of luck yesterday.

Bolded: Hold on, Football is progressing? Never thought the day would happen.

Other stuff: What I said to me Man U fan friend last night was that in reality, while some might think it a less tourament, for Man U it's a good prize to go for, with the competition in the Premier League harder and harder each year, Champions League place that comes with winning the Europa League is something they should be aiming for, because it means they aren't dependent on the PL to get the spot (2 chances instead of 1).

EDIT: Side note, anyone doing Fantasy Football, there is a prem game tonight so you'll need to do changes today.

Hmm, pie.

Mourinho doesn't care about EL.

If he didn't, a different team would've made up the 11.

If he really gave a crap, he would've started a different team with a different strategy, regardless of the amount of money spent on players on the pitch.

He's been saying that he doesn't give a crap about EL, since he was at Chelsea in 2004.

Everton is, so far, the surprise of the season. West Ham, on the other hand, has been complete shit. What the hell happened to them?

Manchester United is a mess hehe LVG needs to come back and sort it out. Bad midfield, none can pass the ball, not even Pogba.

Xhaka's screamer yesterday was sweet! Nice win too but I'm still not a fan of playing Alexis as a striker.

Now he'll start accusing players of betrayal.

Next week, Man U vs Leicester City. A good chance huge drama will break out
