People making judgements on players 45 minutes into pre season? Really? ...

Maybe I am being harsh. But James Wilson does not look like a Manchester United striker to me
He doesn't even look like a professional player. There are thousands of lads up and down the country playing on a Sunday that could do what he has done for United. You need to see something in a competitive game from players like Wilson and we have seen nothing since his brace under Giggs. Shame really.

You are not being harsh but truthful. Everyone wats to be nice but lets be realistic, he is poor.
I get that is it really early, but when else is Wilson going to impress? He wont play when Zlatan, Rashford and Rooney are back

Mkhi is an awesome player. Wow.

Jesse has been doing great. Good runs, good touches, good skill.

Wilson isn't cut for Utd. And Depay is still frustrating.

Ander has been good at breaking up play.

How is Blind doing?
Not had a huge amount to do, seen far less of the ball than he usually would, we are playing much higher up the pitch. Made a couple of very good covering challenges though and a few good balls in behind the fullback.

Lots of possession but similar to LVG's reign, not much threat. Mkhi Looking sharp, Memhpis looking better than he did for most of last season which is encouraging. Bailly looks pretty good too.

Only concern is I think Shaw might not be over his injury Psychologically. Seems to be very cautious with his left leg, hope he gets crunched in a tackle to show him he can still take a hit tbh.
I'd rather that not happen tbh.

The Phil Jones haircut! :eek:

When I was 13 I thought that Alan SMith had the best hair in the world. Phil Jones? not so much.

I swear it must have been 8 years ago when I first heard of Will Keane scoring in the academy/reserves. How is he still clinging on?

Finally some actual football.

High tempo passing, always skips a player if the option is available, LVG must have instructed the players to pass to the closest player at all times just to be safe.

We must have had more forward passes in this first half than any game last season.

Freedom!
So true, it was driving me insane at points last year. Always wondered if it was tactics or if the players weren't confident enough in their ability.
