Fantastic cross from James. Great play from McTominay leading up to. A poacher in the box would have found it and scored.

VDB looks very lively already, interesting to see how often he gets into the box from CM

Opening few minutes we’ve looked very good. Probably should have scored 2 goals.

Watching the first ten minutes here, you'd wonder how they've contrived to lose this game.

Then you remember almost every game from last season.

Maybe: it's a friendly, I'll try something new because the result is irrelevant?
Will he ever use him there? Not a chance we have Bruno, Pogba and Van de Beek who can all play that position. So why not play a youngster there? Just think it’s a bit silly to do that personally.

That shirt doesn't look so bad actually. There's some vintage look about it.

Conceding after we should’ve got a penalty, bloody robbed. :mad:

I do think Maguire is a tad overrated if I am honest. He is not an aggressive CB nor does he have guile. A worry.

No chance of having another look at the penalty call I suppose.

For those that say Shaw is a good defensive fullback...

See his shite attempt at closing down the winger for Villas goal.

Van De Beek actually looks pretty good so far. Do we reckon he’ll be able to play this role with Pogba next to him?

He was marking Trezeguet (I think) and had to leave him last second and close down the cross. Were you expecting him to be 2 places at once?
