Can someone tell me how Bayern in their FIRST game back look so much better than Man utd in closing down and sharpness?

What the hell does Mourinho do with the players? It's so pathetic that I feel sick. Closed the stream.

How does he explain what we see when every other manager in top of the top 3 leagues play energetic and entertaining football?

I can't wait until he leaves.
How fortunate we would be to have more fans like you.

You came to this conclusion in preseason in a match with almost no first team players? Ok.
and yet a Madrid side with demonstrably less first team players, who were in their first pre-season game, played us off the park in much the same way Bayern are doing, only, with kids.

Wonder what the possession stats are
68% - 32% now.

11 shots to our 1 (which was off target).

It's just really sad how poor United are. I'm not even angry anymore, I've lost all love of the game by constant disappointment. Yes this is only pre-season but you'd be wearing red tinted glasses if you think we're gonna be close to winning anything this season.

This isn't Bayerns first game back! They played in the US like United, even lost to City 2-3 blowing a 2 goal lead

I know. Pogba, Lingard, Lukaku, Martial and Matic are all having stinkers arent they?
Exact same style of football last season with most of those in the side.
Our consistency was excellent, couldn't attack regardless of opponent.

I actually miss LVG. Atleast we kept the ball playing boring. Players actually looked technically good.

McTominay is such a nothing player. Give him a holding job and he's ok. But apart form that he's mediocre.

I agree with Jose, it's Woodys fault for not buying this CB we need to make us into title contenders.....oh, wait :houllier:
One thing that confuses me when we play like this is whether or not Jose is actually content / happy with the way we're playing and our approach.
i genuinely believe he is so stuck in his ways that he can’t change. It’s the same with lots of people and there professions, especially the dinosaurs of their trades.

‘This is how I did it 10 years ago and it worked, so why change it?’

I just think there are certain people that don’t like change and are completely blind to what is progressing around them. Whether it be technology based professions or in this case football.

Oh, come on, that is not truth, they just started their preseason 2 hours ago, and they miss half of the team.

There's only one United!
Can people remember that we're playing without Matic, Pogba , Likaku and Alderweireld?

It's only preseason lads......only preseason. We'll lack ideas, play the same negative football when everyone is back.....but don't worry it is only preseason.

Hell yes, Lee Grant on, Neuer better get the note book out. Actually been really impressed with what I’ve seen of Grant. One of the highlights of pre season.

Someone remind me how much we've spent on players. Leicester would have put up a better fight.

Maybe the young guys have more to play for and will make it a game in the last 10-15 minutes.

I don't understand this. We've had fantastic pre seasons before and flopped massively when the season starts.
These games don't really signify anything. They may as well be forgotten as soon as they're finished IMO.
Aren't most games like these? You don't get great pre season games all that often for a reason.
I've watched at least the last decade of preseason (including the brutal time zone issues off ole internet streams in Asia) and we have never, ever looked this bad. We lost matches sure, but at least we had shots. At least we played football.

Saying that we've had good seasons after poor preseasons and the opposite is kind of fatuous - we've also had good preseasons and good seasons. And it is unfathomable that being this bad for literally hours and hours of football is somehow good for the players. If preseason is literally only about fitness, they shouldn't even be playing matches.

It's not because how poor United is, but Jose has decided to park the bus and instructed them to hoof at every opportunity at the start of the match, if that was LVG's United team, he'd be demanding more from balls.
