Desperately need some penetration. Need Martial, Lingard, etc. to make more forward runs in behind. Need someone like Rashford to stretch the defence and keep them honest (what with both Zlatan and Rooney dropping deep). Need someone like Mata or Micki who will play those penetrative passes from the forward third. That said, we've had more "bum off your seat" moments in this friendly than we had in 2 years of LVG. Promising signs, especially if/when we add Pogba to the mix.

Taking the next corner instead of Jones!

My biggest worry was about us scoring goals. I'm still worried it's not been fixed. Our attack is still too slow imo.

Does Rooney have no friends? Isn't testimonial teams usually filled with testemonee's friends and such instead of just fielding his current team's squad? This is just United v Everton, where probably more than half of those players don't give a feck about the occasion.

I wish Wayne had chosen a more ambitious opponent...Jim Royle, for instance.
