Booing a player does not make a player play better so why would you do it if he plays for the team you support??
Manchester United 2:2 Steven Gerrard's Villa (Sat 23rd July, 10:45 UK time)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Top reds coming to the fore here. 
Just to avoid all the "fake supporter" responses - there's more than one way to support a club, booing a player who has been subpar for 12 months is perfectly fine, as is not booing the same player, just like there's more than one way to cook an egg.
Stop preaching about fake fans etc.
Tiresome.

The captain has more responsibility though. But yeah, they could've booed the entire team if you ask me.
Exactly how I feel all day long. Unless I’m busy or distracted, I’m daydreaming about Gerard having mishaps and crying inside.
I just hope we get through this game without picking up any injuries.
I think we’ll see a much improved team this season as we’re playing as a team and look like we’ll function a lot better in a set system. I do think we should of give someone els the captains armband though… Ronaldo or Fernandes would be my 1st choice, Or even De gea.
It was last night. Theyre not cavemen. They have the technology.
Pitch looks very slippery, let's hope no one slips and fall over.
Booing one of your own players at a pre-season game for no fathomable reason doesn’t make you a fake supporter. It makes you a colossal bellend. To use the catchphrase of another colossal bellend - hope this helps.Top reds coming to the fore here.

VDB starts, interesting.
Muy interesting

Tell that to Real Madrid fans. If you don't perform, you are booed. If you don't improve, you are booted out of the club. Shame United fans have a holier than thou attitude to this.
This is also correct
Is this the death of McFred finally? I liked the look of VdB + Fred in a deeper role in the second half last game.
I was really hoping for Fred + Iqbal but I'll take this.

VDB 
Most likely the team which starts the Brighton game bar McTominay for Van de Beek.
This is the front 6 I wanted to see.
Haha, see what you did there! Brilliant
I disagree, I think McT's performance against Palace convinced Ten Hag that the McFred midfield won't work. It will be some combination of Fred + Eriksen / Donny / maybe Frenkie.
Good to see Garner and Varane on the bench.
If he stays… he should of been given it last season to be honest. If he wants to go though I’d give it Bruno… he always gives his best on the pitch and he’s a leader.Ronaldo?
Season starts in exactly 2 weeks' time and we are drilling an XI without a single new signing. Great.
What you mean the half where we pinned Palace in their own half the entire game, Mctominay had a 100% pass completion rate and was key at winning the ball back high up the pitch sustaining attacks? Yeah. Sure it has. You guys really do see what you want to see don’t you. He came off at HT due to injury not because of performance ffs.
Need some serious squad depth for next season. Gonna have no one on the bench to come on in 2nd halves who could have an impact.
Kick off in an hour?
Incredible really, eeh.
We have placed all our eggs in Ten Hag basket.
It's Ten Hag or bust.
He's injured. In just two weeks time for any other than Donny? Doubtful.
Only in the UK. It's later in the afternoon in Australia.
wonder is VDB a contender for that FDJ role....
Think he's a sharper and more progressive passer than Fred

Ronaldo isn't a leader and after missing pre-season, he shouldn't be given any extra privileges.
I wouldn't mind Bruno because at least the captain gets some leniency from refs for whinging.
Real Madrid fans are renowned around the World for being spoiled bellends and we should aspire to much higher standards. Booing your club captain because you are not happy with him is the definition of being an arse. Try booing your kids when they keep getting their homework wrong and see where that gets you. I am expecting a response of "yes but we paid 80 million pounds etc etc, we should expect more", yes and we all expect more but booing someone for poor performances doesn't help shit, apart from perhaps make you feel better.
feck. The butcher Mings in combination with this pitch is a deadly combo.
I think McTominay went off injured in the last game. Van de Beek for McTominay was the only change at half time vs Palace.
Oh look, "non existant player" VDB starts how lots of Caftards call him, of course he starts, lots of people on here were having a laugh and mocking him in first preseason games how he always started on bench saying he is finished here, it's preseason ffs.
Would have preferred Bailly to Maguire but that’s pretty much the team I was hoping for
Better watch out for Mings and McGuinn !
We don't need injuries before the season starts.
SlippyG will not take a step back.

One last time with winter - summer jokes. Who will start?
