Friendly or not these United players are playing for a chance to be in EtH plans and they are having their opportunities to shine taken away by typically cynical Spanish bullshit.

My instruction as a coach would be let us try to play out of a bad position instead of foul in a friendly.. practice for in case someone’s on a yellow and even more so aiming to react to be in a bad position and how to recover.

It’s horrible to watch. If only the big Spanish sides would be punished when it matters too.

"Martial...He's isolated Skrtel here..."
Exactly. Being saying for a long time that he's surely mentally affected by all the negative focus on him as a United player. Poor guy's a walking meme.

He's a much better footballer than what he's showing in the United shirt, and for his own sake and ours he should move to an (upper) mid table club like West Ham asap to redeem his career and reputation.
Bizarre people still say “he’s a much better footballer than this” instead of just accepting he isn’t.

Just in case anyone missed it. I don't like Mount.

Commentator does not know his 2010 team. Absolutely embarrassing.

Pellistri competes better in the air than errr...a lot of our forwards.
There is a lot to like about him, one of them is his attitude in general. I think a good portion of the things that go well for him when he gets minutes for us come from totally backing himself rather than someone like Sancho who seems to just think "well that won't work" a lot of the time.

Commentator’s memory is embarrassing. Van Persie in 2010?

I don't understand the Evans thing, he's done at this level.
