I liked Matic's comments yesterday, so let's see if he can back them upApart from Matic I like that team.
Looking forward to seeing how James does on the right and Tuanzebe alongside Lindelof. I'm assuming it's a 4-2-3-1 again.
It's only to put Matic in the shop window, hopefully..Looks like another year of pogba/Matic midfield then
Matic no. He is just past it. Lingard yes. Gomes instead of him would be great.Matic and Lingard are nowhere near as bad as you drama queens seem to think.
Aye. It's super talented. Just a bit lacking aerially.Love that back four.
Matic will be good if rested from time to time, Lingard on the other hand doesn't offer anything even his movement which was his only above average attribute is now gone.Matic and Lingard are nowhere near as bad as you drama queens seem to think.
Matic was fine the season before last. Last season, he was carrying an injury and had no preseason. He'll be fine again in 19/20.Matic no. He is just past it. Lingard yes. Gomes instead of him would be great.
Lingard has no business starting this match. Other than that, it's roughly what I expected.Tweet

Tuanzabe, Matic, Lingard, James, Shaw I'd guess will come off around 45. Rest I reckon will get longer.That seems to be our 1st choice XI then. Glad Martial is on the left so we can actually see how he works with Rashford. He's simply not a striker. Happy to see Axel starting alongside Lindelof. Probably suggests he is 2nd choice out of our current cbs. Matic starting instead of McTominay is frustrating. I expect most of the team will get 60 mins with maybe a couple coming off at 45 mins
Ya, that cm of Matic and Pogba is the glaring weakness though (defensively I mean, obviously Pogba's an incredible asset in attack)I actually think that team, with Bruno in for Lingard and Maguire in for Tuanzebe (who will become the understudy), looks capable enough for top four, providing the “on paper” special players such as Pogba, Rashford and Martial actually play to their capacity.
Id love to see a more mobile CDM bought but if not, the reality is that Matić is the most composed of the ones we do have although it’s not beyond the realm of possibility that Fred improves or McT continues to develop.
What I wanted to say is that he used to make smart runs but last season his movement was just brainless at times.His movement isn't now gone.
Till he messes up once and then the knives are out. This fan base is getting worse and worseMatic no. He is just past it. Lingard yes. Gomes instead of him would be great.
The team picked today is clearly (roughly) representative of the what will start the season.Some of you are hilarious. Imagine being so bothered by lingard starting a preseason game.
I'm not particularly bothered by it, I just feel that Gomes has shown more and deserves the chance to impress.Some of you are hilarious. Imagine being so bothered by lingard starting a preseason game.
