That’s your lot, then. Jamie Jackson’s match report is live, so what are you waiting for? Thanks for reading this MBM!

Ralf Rangnick adds: “Since I arrived, that was Ronaldo’s best performance. Energetically he was good, part of the whole team when we had to defend. A top performance by him, but also the rest of the team. I didn’t expect him to score three goals, but I did expect him to score. He only resumed training on Thursday but his session was so good I decided to bring him from the start and not have him on the bench, and in the end it was the right decision. He didn’t train for a week and I wasn’t sure whether his hip flexor was good enough. He told me on Friday he was fully fit and could play, so that’s why he was in the starting XI. It is a challenge with a player like him but he has shown today he still has the quality to play for a club like Manchester United and he is also a part of the team. If we want to be successful at the end of the season, we can only do it together.”
