I hope that we beat Palace or the excuses will flow. Saw a headline that ‘United fans demand more signings after defeat at Villa’ . Well we always want more signings but the right signings. Paul Merson called Donny a ‘panic buy’. A panic buy with a month to go in the window ffs. Still need a quality Centre Half and Left Back in my view and as for Sancho, who do you drop to fit him in. Is he that good? £100m good?
Club Friendlies - Aston Villa vs Man United on 12/09/2020
- Thread starter MyOnlySolskjaer
- Start date
Don't give a rats about the score so why bring that up. I care more about the minutes In legs. More than half of our team will be going into Palace game cold. That's far from ideal and you know it. Hopefully we can get over the line but I can see it being tougher due to what I have said.
Yes. The result doesn't matter, we have lost friendlies before, glad the ones who will be starters got minutes. Like you more concerned about the ones who have not been in internationals, but could be starters who aren't getting minutes.
The real reason this preseason game exists is to sell mutv memberships.
Ours hasn't.
You do realise that we were starting next week whether we played a friendly today or not... right?
What these friendlies show is that half of these players starting aren't worth to put on our shirt. Lingard, James etc
The Europe League really did screw us to be honest. I knew we'd be starting this season well behind and very unfit.
Half of our first team players haven't even trained yet and we're playing a team that's already played a PL match next week
Prepare for a rocky start lads...

Yes, which is unfortunate for us, pending how you view it. Personally I doubt the team gained much from that game
Hope our first team is back for next weekend

I very much doubt it’ll be as bad as you’re suggesting! It’s not like we’ve had a few months off- we only just finished the Europa a few weeks ago. We’ll be fit and rested and raring to go!The Europe League really did screw us to be honest. I knew we'd be starting this season well behind and very unfit.

On the bright side this loss might give the owners a kick up the ass in signing Sancho and a LB/CB with our first game fast approaching.
At the end of last season, and well into Europa League, we looked knackered.
There was not much rest as quite some of our players had their international duties, and other issues.
In normal circumstances, it takes weeks for a proper pre season after the summer break, and even so, not always team would be in tip top shape, come first couple months of the season.
Now we either don't have proper pre season this time, nor IMO enough rest between the two seasons.
That's the only hope, a few of the lads have played some international matches like Bruno/Greenwood/De Gea.
Worrying that lindelof is apparently already fatigued!?
They didn't even show the game live though.
Lindelof didn’t play the second Sweden game due to fatigue during international break. It is slightly worrying as you say. The season hasn’t even started yet...That's the only hope, a few of the lads have played some international matches like Bruno/Greenwood/De Gea.

Hopefully nobody useful got injured
They have been pushing the 6 months for 12 month package. They might have been going to show it live, but the PL deciding that all the games would be live, could have changed it.
could have played the kids and reserves, which i suggested to stay fresh for this season. But Ole went for the trophy.The Europe League really did screw us to be honest. I knew we'd be starting this season well behind and very unfit.

Why? There's 3 first-teamers in there, 4 at a push
Lets be honest, that team would struggle even if there was something on the line.
Sad thing is, we’ll see plenty more of them this season. They’re not going anywhere.
Fernandes back from Portugal yet?
I hope so or could that cause problems regarding isolation?
Nobody useful was playing, so no.
From this, "has been" should mean he's still in Portugal.
Has been means he was in Portugal. If he was still there it should say is in Portugal. However this is the M.E.N. so don't expect good grammar.
I think it's clear that people aren't concerned with the first IX. It's the dramatic drop in quality from the first IX to the bench that's concerning. We have the first IX to push for top two; but the fatigue and lack of quality from the bench will result in us dropping points and not being able to maintain that push.
People are losing their shit about this today?
Wow.
Wow.
Fernandes was training at Carrington today
It will be a long season
Is Tuanzebe ever match fit?
Think most are more worried about who wasn't there and if they will be available for next weekend for various reasons.
That's good.
I bet the actual score is different from what was initially reported in here
Telegraph went along with what was initially reported too.
Does anyone on this forum have MUTV? That's crazy if noone does

Yeah I've already seen a tweet saying the 1-0 scoreline wasn't actually the final result. It got retweeted by Luckhurst as well.
