No mate, listen to it again. He's giving him a bit of hard time
"He can not score a goal, he gives an interview" are his exact words.

No, we haven't bought him yet. He'll be playing for Barcelona
Wow, that's steep but I guess that's what pre-season's all about! Have a great time mate
Yes, 5 hours from now.
Thanks and there is no way I would pay that for any other team than United. It's my, once every 2 or 3 year chance to get to see them in person.Wow, that's steep but I guess that's what pre-season's all about! Have a great time mate
Lukaku throwing? and Pereira's penalty kick against Pereira last part.Tweet

Apparently this is the final game of our US-tour.
Damn, I guess it's hard to get a work permit for these obscure players.No, we haven't bought him yet. He'll be playing for Barcelona
By Mourinho's reactive logic, should be the boring containment 4-3-3 again. Also, there aren't that much attacking players available.

Anyone else going tonight? Just found out I'm going
Be nice to round off our tour with a win, although should it happen then there's no shame in losing to Barca. I'm particularly interested (and hope) to see how we handle MSN. I see it as a useful, albeit incredibly dubious way to see how we might fare in Europe this season. I just hope we don't sit back and absorb pressure too much, but try to go toe-to-toe aswell. Barca has a lot of weaknesses and it'd just be interesting to see how our midfield especially stacks up. Our biggest strengths have to be Pogba, and our frightening pace.
I predict smalling and Jones to play and look like world beaters. Fellaini and Lingard will dominate midfield. Then for the rest of the season these guys will return to normal service.
You have to cut them off at the source, I think. That seems to be what 80% of teams who've had success against them since they put MSN together have done. Of course whether or not we can field Herrera makes a big difference to our ability to do that - he's surely the ultimate player for hassling an opposition midfield so they can't provide good enough service to their forwards. And if he's an injury doubt in any way he surely won't feature.
Are we the 'home' side or away for this match? If we're away then I think we may see the third grey kit.
United have confirmed that's the kit we'll be playing in tonight.
We always play in that kit against Barcelona. No surprises there.
Go on, win tonight in the 90 minutes and win the tournament. Van Gaal isn't better than you, Jose!
Almost bought tickets then decided against it since it's a work night and beltway traffic adds 3 hours during rushhour let alone a sporting event.
Plus I would have needed to sell a kidney to have the funds.

Barca also not holding back
Good team from Barca. Happy with that. We need to play against the best at this stage.
Bus incoming.
We're gonna need a bigger bus
Would love a midfield of Pereira, Pogba and Herrera. For the first time in god knows we'd have as good a midfield as them.
Anyone else think Barca is going to win today? Meltdown incoming tonight.
Nah 2-0 united.
I haven't seen our lineup yet, have you ?Barca also not holding back
Does anybody have a stream, please PM me? They are not broadcasting this match in Netherlands so need to watch it online
Herrera is out with injury. Will be back for the game in Norway with Mata according to Jose. That's definitely our best midfield right now. I hope to see it soon.
Our defense better be in shape.
3-0 with a Hattrick from Jesse "Pre-Season King" Lingard
They have fullbacks who are more of an attacking threat than our wide players.
Pretty sure Herrera's not back till Valerenga. Still, how crazy is that? On paper, you're absolutely right, that would be the better of the two midfields.

Looks like a 4-2-3-1, but could be 3-5-2.
Lindelof.... Penalty incoming white text
Go to Reddit soccer/football streams
Lindelof and Smalling against MSN. This should be fun.
Has Lingard started every game on this tour?
Reckon that lineup will be close to the starting lineup for the super cup.
Lindelof and Smalling against Messi, Neymar and Suarez
