Manchester United 4:1 Melbourne Defeat (Fri 15th July, 11:05 UK time)

[AltiUn]

The Caf's two favourite players scoring

If Martial strings 3 good performances together then he'll probably end up with a lot of love anyway.

His goal was brilliantly worked, what we've seen City and Liverpool do time after time for the last few years, more of that please. Let's make it as easy for our strikers as possible!

 

[Robbie Boy]

Amazing how good a player can be when there is structure in the team. People writing him off last season when it was a free for all when it came to tactics.

Yep, absolutely amazing that a good player will flourish under a good manager. Ole and Ralf were horrible managers.

 

[davbon]

I have been thinking for a while that Dalot is gonna be one of the first names in the starting XI under ten Hag. He has a good range of passing and a great understanding of where to position himself in the attack. I love watching how he constantly changes between playing as an inverting fullback (almost as a third central midfielder) and making overlapping runs on the outside. I think we'll se a very good fullback this coming season

 

[christinaa]

To be fair after winning 4-0 against Liverpool, to be 2-1 up at HT vs PSG is impressive.

This game is more difficult to win than the Liverpool match

 

[Berbaclass]

Elanga is so average.

Agree sadly. He was anonymous in that half. Definitely not suited to this style of football at the moment.

 

[Trex]

these pricks with 9 men defending in the box...

its a friendly FFS have a bit of fun

Its a friendly to us, its the biggest game of their life to some of them.

 

[TheReligion]

Wonder if it will be

Martial/Rashford - Ronaldo - Sancho

Front three

Great to hear - can't watch the game unfortunately, but I'll catch the highlights!

Juve so cheap we managed to keep the image rights

I know some clubs have a hard time with money, but c'mon man.

This game will be much more useful and informative for ETH.

 

[Trex]

Wonder if it will be

Martial/Rashford - Ronaldo - Sancho

Front three

Ronaldo as a sub please, don't underestimate how pivotal Martial in the middle is.

 

[McGrathsipan]

Lets lose 9-1 against a team that costs 30 times more than us, sounds fun to you?

yeah

 

[Kostov]

Come on kids.

 

[sdb4884]

Should be an interesting half. I think the commentators mistook Ching for Hannibal. Big haired lads.

 

[hellhunter]

Lineup with the HT changes, please

 

[JPRouve]

Missed chance to call the brand 9AM.
Should also name his son Pierre.

He probably thought that it was too early.

Yes exactly

 

[Hoof the ball]

Laird!!!!!!

 

[Reditus]

Wonder if it will be

Martial/Rashford - Ronaldo - Sancho

Front three

If we can get Martial and Rashford back to their best I would love to see Rash - Martial - Sancho

 

[Frank Grimes]

Chong playing? Ffs, what year is it?
Our squad is shambolic.

 

[WPMUFC]

LAIRDY!!! LETS GOOOOOOOOO

 

[jamesjimmybyrondean]

This may well and truly be the Martial we will keep getting. He has always been great when we play one touch sexy football

 

[sglowrider]

Hannibal in the doghouse? Two matches and no sighting.

 

[Berbaclass]

Telles again at CB. Interesting.

 

[No Idea For Nickname]

Yeah, that might really become a problem, hope ten Hag can manage that because as it stands now there is no where to go for Ronaldo, even if he wants out.

It already is, When Zlatan came in, Lukaku, Cavani, Ronaldo... all of them..he sulked and turn to s**t.

 

[saivet]

Good to see Laird play.

Interesting opportunity for Rashford too..in fact commentators said he's up front but looks like it's Amad.

 

[Berbaclass]

Hannibal in the doghouse? Two matches and no sighting.

So i Garnacho, doesn't mean much

Its a friendly to us, its the biggest game of their life to some of them.

Isn’t it the exact reason to have fun and enjoy it knowing it might not happen again?

 

[sglowrider]

This is Academy FC.

 

[DWelbz19]

Looks like:

Heaton
Laird — Bailly — Telles — Malacia
Iqbal — Savage
Chong — DVB — Rashford
Amad​

 

[hellhunter]

So i Garnacho, doesn't mean much

Interesting though, they're probably the two youngster people were hoping to see most of

 

[Vidyoyo]

How has Theaton been?

 

[mu4c_20le]

Laird!!!!!!

 

[No Idea For Nickname]

Come on kids, give us Victory.

 

[FreakyJim]

Savage looks like De Jong from far. Just change his name to Charlie De Jong and walk away from that Barca mess.

 

[Trophy Room]

Is Varane injured?

 

[Rolaholic]

The mad thing about Sancho is that we get two outputs in one player.

We need creativity out of him? Stick him out on the right.

We need goals out of him? Stick him out on the left.

He's a wonderful footballer

 

[sniff99]

Bailly already looking better than Maguire. Damn why can't he stay fit!

 

[Berbaclass]

Is Varane injured?

Yes
