''When he's on song and he's on top of his game (Paul Pogba), he's unstoppable and we've seen that today. He was energetic and matched the energy of every other player Every one of them looked like they had a spring in their step and now they've got real competition for places. It's a team that wants to challenge at the top and every top team needs that depth in their squad.''
''I don't think today was about one player, I think it was about the team. United were brilliant today and I personally think they are good enough to challenge for the title.''

''Perfect start for the lads. I thought on paper it was a difficult game and I didn't think Leeds played bad! United were on fire throughout and its a shame in a sense that they have two away games the way they were strolling around out there. Its going to be difficult for the manager to look at making a change after that.''

Some 72,732 fans have packed Old Trafford for this wonderful occasion and the vast majority will be going home extremely happy. Those lucky enough to get a ticket will be crowing about it for some time as football normality, finally, seems to have returned after such a long absence.

''When you have the sort of fire power that Manchester United have, this can happen to anyone. With Cavani, Rashford and Lingard all to come in too, its not a bad looking squad!''
