Comfortable or what. Had no problems holding onto possession between them and playing out from the back.
Yeah, Abraham is trash tbf.Magulof were pretty good but they'll be up against better forwards than what they faced today.
It had something to do with the midfield not covering well. The defense itself is pretty good so far. They will improve more obviously.They looked fine. Some worrying moments especially when Chelsea overloaded but it was good to see Maguire being so vocal and taking charge of situations. Long may it continue.
Yep! Wolves away will be a far tougher test for them but so far so good!Yeah, Abraham is trash tbf.
Both were fantastic. A penny for @Ekeke's thoughts.
I agree, but is it really necessary to go there? I see you come from the land of the coolest United player ever - so let's be like Berbatov and focus on the positive!Both were fantastic. A penny for @Ekeke's thoughts.
I'd be hugely surprised if we don't see a fair bit of them this season. With cups and Europa League, we could be playing 60+ games. Ole seems to like Jones when he's fit, and Smalling is generally fit most of the time. I'd imagine the 2nd choice pair will be Tuanzebe plus one of Jones and Smalling.Finally no more Smalling and Jones. Tuanzebe looks good in pre-season as well so he should have no problem covering for the main cb
I’m all in with this.Magulof were pretty good but they'll be up against better forwards than what they faced today.
Well I think they will have couple of appearances this season. But if this Maguire-lindelof partership continues to grow I really can't see future for Rojo, Smalling, Baily, Jones. None of them are dependable enough, even for a coverI'd be hugely surprised if we don't see a fair bit of them this season. With cups and Europa League, we could be playing 60+ games.

I think it's Rojo and Bailly we won't see much of if anyone.
At least for this season, I'd be happy with Tuanzebe and Smalling as the 2nd choice pair in the EL group games and League Cup. Smalling is limited but dependable certainly when it comes to availability. I don't think any of Rojo, Bailly, Jones and Smalling will be here beyond next summer, though I think we'll struggle to sell any of them except Smalling.Well I think they will have couple of appearances this season.

With the way how Ole wants us to play (and the preseason minutes), I think that Jones is higher in the pecking order compared to Smalling. Jones if no. 4 with Smalling being No. 5 (though Rojo played more than him in preseason). Despite that Smalling is a decent defender, his inability of passing when under pressure is the end of his United career.At least for this season, I'd be happy with Tuanzebe and Smalling as the 2nd choice pair in the EL group games and League Cup.
