Geez, every Sampdoria player diving all over the pitch. Really annoying to watch.
2017 Pre Season | Sampdoria vs Manchester United

We look like we don't care at all. Saving our energy for RM game?
Did David may just call that guy a cnut?
Some classic Italian play acting there.
I miss matic in the midfield
diving like that in a friendlyWtf we've hired Giggs now?!!
There's no compromise on our midfield. If we're missing even just Pogba the overall quality drops significantly. If we're going to challenge for the title this season we need our midfield trio fit for at least the majority of the season.
I hope not.
If Mourinho has to change systems to put Martial in, I guess he'll never be an option there.
We're playing 352, but the amount of room between our midfielders is crazy. Fellaini is too high and we're losing possesion on bad passes because of it.
I took half day sick today. I'm actually sick. Having trouble keeping eyes open for this.
I ain't saying bus parking one bit, but being a defensive block in the middle and being counter attacking in possession ,our ball circulation is not exactly counter attacking also.
Rashford should've put Martial through there.
I don't think that's the case really.
A pity Rashford didn't saw Martial's running.
Sampdoria passing the ball better than us 
Rubbish skills from Rashy there.
It sounded like he said it under his breath when he was slating that centre half when he dived.
Rashford has to find Tony right there instead of taking it on his own
Looked like a dive from Rashford to be honest.
It's clearly a 4-3-3 now.
Some of the play in the final third has been close to retarded. Rashford staring down at the ball there was bizarre. If I was Martial I'd be fuming.
Yup, but if he learns from this game to look for those passes, then that's great. Brilliant run from Tony.
Yeah but he isn't changing the system to put him in. Just trying different formations. We played 3 different ones last season.
Mata has been shocking
There's still a lack of understanding between our players and it drives me fecking mad.
Agreed. Rashford needed to get his head up and spot that run. Poor play.
Martial is getting himself into some good positions.
Lacking creativity in the final third.
Darmian and his magic triangles.
Other than Darmian and Mkhitaryan not much to take away from this.
Should've taken the whole day.
What does Mata do? He's such a nothing player at times.
Isn't that his preferred lineup?
It's not even that good with him. He at least creates something with his long passes but the link between midfield and the attack in this team is so poor.
Our biggest problem our inability to create and score enough goals.
Darmian undressing opposition players
I don't think it's quite that bad. With both Fellaini and Carrick in there it just isn't dynamic enough and we are struggling to press and control as we had before. If we've got two of Pogba, Herrera and Periera we will be fine.
I think he's trying to fool Real Madrid, actually. If it was Lingard instead of Martial, he wouldn't have changed it. And if he really wanted to try a different formation, like he did in the other games, he would have changed at half-time.
