The way I see this, we are gonna get schooled.
Their current core players won 2 ECL in a row while we are still in a transition phase. We have a few roles that we have to focus in this market but even if we get what we need, the squad isn't gonna have the same synergy that RM's squad has right now. Its not even about the quality of the team or players.
RM just gangbanged Juventus and Bayern in the ECL and imo they are a better side than us right now.
Even if we take Ronaldo out of the equation, their team quality is just unbelievebly good.
Hard to bet against Mourinho tho, he has a tendency to get results even when he is the underdog

Calm down mate, it's months away and we will have a different team by then. Also, it's nothing more than a glorified friendly.
They also lost to Celta Vigo? Its a one off game. Some people talk as though we are Oldham.
Eh, not really...
If we'd won the treble than yah, it would've been huge for the chance of tying barcelona's 6 trophies in a year
As it is, it's a glorified friendly(which we'll be happy to win, but still)
Btw, unlikely cristiano will play, with confederations cup and all...
Really? Just because we might not win it doesnt mean its a "friendly". I am sure you considered the Charity Shield a "trophy" and told everyone you were happy United won three trophies rather than two trophies this year. The Super Cup is definitely a bigger trophy than the Charity Shield.
In General I would agree but:
1) Both Teams will look different to last season.
2) Games in August are always hard to predict as Teams are still in preparation.
3) I think our style of Play does not suit Real that much. In case we decide to try and really take them on we will get a proper beating though.
My prediction is 2:1 for Real.
@Gonçalo Motta is right to be fair, if real decide to dick on us they will.
They are a far superior team even with if we do sign Fabinho persic morata etc. Non of those players would make their starting 11 infact non of ours would except Dave maybe Pogs.
That's not a bad thing tho, doesn't mean we are crap just not as good as the best team in the world right now
Some people here really underplay the importance of winning silverware and this trophy. Its not like winning the SC its the aim of the season but neverthless winning it vs the back to back CL Champions could really help set the tone for the next season.
Its not the about the value of the trophy itself but the moral impact of winning it vs the best team in Europe.

Talent wise, I would say Burnley are closer to us than United are to Real right now.
Your tagline is spot on
Apologies if it's been covered already but any truth that Ronaldo won't be available for this game?
I dont think we will. We will be tighter than Juve and Bayern were.
Maybe but it will not be nice to watch.
...unless we win
Tickets now on sale.. Anyone travelling from Italy?
Will Cristiano play in this one...and if so, for which team??
United 3 - 0 Real
Ronaldo x2, Morata
Ronaldo x2, Morata
James assisting all 3 goals.
DDG has a clanger in first match.
Tagline checks out.
Fellaini masterclass incoming
3-0 United, CR7 hatrick
It's an exhibition match. Nice to be in and it'd be nice to win but there's a reason why 'Yes! We're in the Super Cup!' isn't the overwhelming sense of joy when Madrid won the CL earlier on this month. People who a month ago wouldn't have even passed comment on the match now lining it up as akin to the World Cup final because they can doom-monger over our prospects.
Surprised we're not being told that our failure to reach the Community Shield is the greatest damning indictment in the history of sport.

Utd ballot is currently taking place and apparently only 4000 or so applied.
Dependant on actual allocation which should be more than 4000 then everyone who applied including members will get a ticket.
Thomas Cook day trip is £520.
Hope those that took my advice are sorted.

Did anyone think about this? Maybe Madrid are stalling on morata deal because they don't want to strengthen us before super cup. Maybe they will release morata after August 8th.
Guys, help please.
So, I got a ticket fot the match! I received email earlier that my application has been succesful.
BUT
"The cost of your ticket is £14 however we have been unable to take payment from the card details provided in the original application. Your ticket will remain in reserve until 8pm Monday 26th June so please call 0161 868 8000 (selecting option 1 and then option 4) to make payment."
I called this number and nothing, just rings.
I'm from Croatia if this means something.

Enter +44 before.
I.e. 441618688000
Yeah, I did.
When I enter international dialing code or +44 is says that this number is not valid.

That's odd. I cant think why that would happen. I would try emailing and explaining situationYeah, I did.
When I enter international dialing code or +44 is says that this number is not valid.
Try dialling online - using something like Skype.Yeah, I did.

Not meaning to be sarcastic but just checking when you dialed the number you did remember to remove the 0 in 0161?Yeah, I did.

So the exact number you have to dial is what @LeeFunK mentioned in his post.
Of course I didn't.
I figured out this earlier, but that doesn't change the fact that I'm a gigantic dumbass.
In my defence, I was pretty excited and half drunk yesterday.

On a side note, you are lucky they've reserved it for you. If it was an oversubscribed ballot they would have just reallocated your ticket to someone else in the ballot.
Thanks, didn't know that. Lesson learned.

Something is wrong with my Maestro card for some reason when I try to pay for United merchandise also. I tried that before and it didn't work. It works for everything else. Luckily, I have Mastercard also, so that saved me.
I've looked at a few travel options and just getting there is NOT cheap, throw in an overnight stay and it's petty steep for what is effectively a glorified friendly.Utd ballot is currently taking place and apparently only 4000 or so applied.
