The testimonial was announced sometime midseason. He has been eligible for one for almost two years now.
The City game cancellation means we are undercooked and our first game is Sunday.

Would be just typical if he came on for Everton and scored against us.
Young needs to start his runs sooner.
We've won Champions Leagues with players like Ronny Johnson, Blomqvist, O'Shea and Anderson. Players who pretty much did nothing before they joined us or after they left. Same goes for plenty of Champions League winners of the past. The names Luiz Gustavo, Dante, Eric Abidal and Casemiro come to mind. Stop acting as though a team need 22 world established names to compete.
Just got this on. Where's Rooney?
Yeah, I have a suspicion Rooney will leave the club while Mourinho is in charge. I can see him being phased out this year and sold next summer.
On the bench, subbed off.
Subbed off for Rashford in the 52nd minute.
Jose leaving Mata on the bank once more. Let's see how many minutes he will get
Edit: he's also coming on

In Old Trafford. He's having a testimonial.
Strange font for United shirts, how are fans liking it?
The 2nd half has been very Van Gaal like so far
Good run by Ibra there.
Everyone's first touch today seems rusty, glad we have the game on sunday. Would like some more long balls while we have them in our half, can't see many other ways of breaking them down.
This has been pretty crap.
Stones 
Here's Mata now
That Holgate looks like a good prospect.
So, it seems Rashford went to #9 and Ibrahimović dropped to Rooney's position, #10, right?
That scenario could happen, but I seriously doubt this substitution has anything else to do with but with actual team management from Jose.
Think I rather like Rashford on the right to be fair. Can't use that much of his pace through middle unless we're dropping deep imo.
Stones is awful, man.
It must be charity night Memphis is coming on!
Rashford didn't see much of the ball. Maybe should go a bit wide
Everton subs
Gibson and Cleverley 
Agreed. He decent on the ball but bang average as a CB.
Everton taking the entire team off
Aarom Lemon on.
Yeah, me too! And Mkhitaryan apparently would be much more effective through the middle also.
Utter chaos.Everton subs
Martials face there during Zlatan-cam
He genuinely looks totally unimpressed with life in it's entirety.

quick hide Evra.
You NEED runners with Ibra. Both he & Wayne just drop too much into midfield to get on the ball. At PSG he had Cavani, Matuidi, Di Maria, the fullbacks etc. Others are not making enough runs for him here. Young is playing on the last defender's shoulder practically
Will say it agian, John Stones is absolutely shite
Only watched 2 minutes of this and already bored.
You're probably right, I was just surprised he subbed him off so quickly into the 2nd half.
Oh Kev
