Hmmmm. I use data card so power outage stopping laptop (unless it is very prolonged) is not something which crosses my mind
Great pace, very good creativity. We're clearly pissing Madrid off which is delightful.
Everyone is playing well for the most part. Herrera made a couple of poor balls early on but perhaps he was uptight with the large crowd. He settled down and made a good account of himself. Rooney needs to be better and Valencia is showing absolutely no signs of changing under van Gaal's guidance, which is really unbelievable.

Can someone pm a stream please?
It was Rooney's goal.Did Rooney touch it?
Great stuff! Young, what happened to you.
Btw just on the record please I don't want young sold if he keeps working hard and smooth like that. What a difference I feel about him within a few months.
Paddy's analysis has even improved under van Gaal.
Shows all you need to know about Moyes' reign.

Good grief I miss Ronaldo
He gave the ball away on all occasions, by holding on to it for too long.
then you dont know how shit "marca" can be
Great first half. I'm really surprised with how much our ball retention and pressing has improved in a short space of time. I think Fletcher has been our most impressive player this pre-season.
I am one of Young's staunchest critics and even I'm pleased with his display this half.
The only criticisms I have for the first half are:
1) Rooney and Mata seem to have a good understanding but I feel Rooney and Welbeck (in particular) could provide more diagonal runs in behind the defense offering Mata more options with the through-ball.
2) Valencia needs to attempt to beat his man and provide more chances from the wing
3) Although extremely harsh I think Zaha has no brain when 1v1 against a defender. He had a chance to get a goal but couldn't decide what to do which then Pepe easily defended. Yeah I know he was only on for a couple of minutes.

Quality football. Young's been great, Hererra not so great but we are bossing the match
any news on danny yet?
Replied to other Ole. I use data card so power outage doesn't interfere with laptop/internet usage. Router thing didn't cross my mind.
He beat the defender with his strength and movement once to create the space in the first place.
I think sometimes he needs to stop trying to skin good defenders every time but he has just came on.
How can you not love Ronnie <3
Was it just me who thought Paddy looked a bit choked up there ?
Is Fletcher completely cured of his illness...I hope so for him and for the club. When he first came out for us I heard so much about him.
The lad deserves to end his playing days with us on a very high.
Fantastic professional.

After his performances in this preseason he wont be sold surely.
Rooney's passing has been pretty good so far under LVG as well, but at the same time I don't see RVP not starting. Given Wazza's and van Persie's injury history, Welbeck will log plenty of minutes anyways.
I also like how Welbeck has put pressure on the defenders and midfielders in the games so far, really using his athleticism there.
Good point, in fact very good point. I am a huge fan of RVP but this feels more balanced, quicker, hard to defend. Interesting times, indeed.
I can it's Marca when we went to play Madrid in CL 2011 they called Wayne a horrible beast on the front paper over something from 2004 they hate English clubs
Because he's the attacking player and is up against their defenders, of course he's going to give the ball away. Do you even watch football...
Yes it was, stupid from Keane
Spot on. Agree 100%.
Ronaldo's English actually seems to have improved somewhat since he left us. Strange. Less time around Rooney maybe?
I gotta be up at stupid O'clock so i'm missing this match but i'm glad Young is doing well!
Him and Cleverley seem to have found new life under LVG long may this continue!

LvG to manage England one day?
Oh it was Young's goal! Never mind Rooney will score second half
I'd be more worried for Nani at this point.
I'm not gonna lie, over the last few years American football commentators have really come on.
Best Half of football ive seen united play in a long time. Thank god for rivers as Sony Six here are useless
How serious is Welbeck's injury?
Okay what the feck is this shit?
Laptop maybe... or tablet or phone or some other fansy stuff which could run for a little more than 105 minutes without electricity.
Evra wasn't a defender to be honest.
Oh MUTV 
God I hate our TV channel.
What the feck is this ?
WHAT THE FECK !!!
What the feck is this ?
WHAT THE FECK !!!
Goddamn it Young, you're making it hard for us to hate you.
Hey! We are proud newbs!
hahaha Paddy
