Trip sir Alex Ferguson is still a long way to the level of a victorious red machine, even though the team has recently taken small baby steps forward.

– Football is better now. Rasmus Højlund has put balls in the net and Alejandro Garnacho has been in good spirits, Neville said.
– The fact that attacking players score goals is a big boost for the team, Keane said.
A couple of hours later, Old Trafford commemorated the victims of the 1958 plane crash, and then both Højlund and Garnacho (twice) scored to sink West Ham.
