What would you like him to do? score fliffty goals in one game? hmmmnnn?
Manchester United vs FC Barcelona (International Champions Cup)
- Thread starter bosnian_red

Yes, he scored. His defender was about 7 yards away from him on a corner. I'm glad he scored, but if he needs those types of chances to do it... That was his only contribution for most of the match IMHO. I guess we agree to disagree on him. I thought he was one of our worst 3 in the first half, and that is being generous.
And not right in front of him?
He did what a striker is supposed to do score a goal..what else do you want from him?
I loved his energy and his confidence. He's been playing the Segunda league with inconsistency but under an average coach. There have been talks about him going to Everton on loan, which I think is a good idea, since he won't get any playtime with the first team, and he has to be promoted this summer as per contract. He won't play with the Barca B after they relegated to the third division, and I can't blame him nor want him to. So a loan will be very good, either at Everton or a La Liga side.What do you make of Halilović btw? Whats the news will Barcelona keep him or will send him on loan?
Raketa run the show today.
We were missing Dani Alves as well. Our right flank today was nonexistent.
Well that definitely has to do with the upbringing in the academy and how our coaches, especially the ones who know the system, encourage them to go out there and play the same way confidently without major changes. Plus the rondo training drills are a main part of every daily training session.
1. Rooney will be sensational this season!
2. In July, I want my team to look tired, not sharp.
3. We have a very deep squad.
4. An expensive world class striker would make us favorites for every trophy.

But what are you actually moaning about? listen to yourself? He can score a hat trick and you would still find something to beat him with...wise up!
Valencia shouldn't be seen again, hopefully. What a difference.
You seem very angry on this topic. You assume that ANYONE who critiques Rooney is moaning and knows nothing. You then proceed to belittle them and tell them to wise up. Personal attacks aren't going to get you very far on these forums or in life.
Why have we watched 35 clips of the Suarez offside incident but 0 of the two tight offside calls we had?
We looked horrendous defensively on the right when he replaced Darmian.
nobody seemed to make anything of when Rooney held off thier centreback immediately after the Suarez offside, never a foul and was clear through.
Haha, another bad writeup.

haha, I take it they didn't notice Johnston was in goals when Barca scored.
No it isn't i'm fine I can't seem to understand why a lot of our fans feel the need to drop a lot of of crap on W Rooney...I mean he played as a striker, scored a goal which helped to a 3-1 win it wasn't just you but three or four more others..I didn't personally insult you by the way (I would never do that) sorry for saying to wise up but I still feel the same!
Very good performance. The Shaw-Young partnership looks very promising indeed. Darmian was MOTM today, looked excellent! Blind played well tbf, I'll admit that I wasn't happy seeing him at cb but this was definitely the best of his pre-season games. The passing was better in the 1st half. The 2nd goal was beautiful too. Delighted for Adnan, because he deserved a goal. I thought he was very good today, and I thought the same when he played against CA. Lingard finishing with a goal and an assist, and he's had a great pre-season so far. Shout out to McNair who I thought gave a very good performance. Also, delighted to have Dave back and I remain hopeful.
I thought we played well in both the 1st and 2nd half. But as always it doesn't mean too much as last season showed but it will do wonders for confidence. I think we could do with 1 more match before the Tottenham game but I hope Van Gaal knows what he's doing in that aspect.
He loves to tell the journalists that he's "explained it already in many press conferences" every time they ask a question!
Treats them like the disposable parasites they are. Wish more managers did.
Lol
lazy journalism at its finest, he will get paid to write that article
Shoddy … not really surprising how rumours start with this standard of reporting, is it?
They aren't wrong though, he could do little about it from the bench.
What does van Gaal mean by wanting a wider orientation?
He's bi.
I think he meant more width... Pedro?
It's to do with "the process" of his "philosophy" we shall see it when he orients things a bit more broadly
I really don't get that if it's the case. You want more width and you field players that like to cut inside?
yeah i almost flipped the tv till i realized it was on 114
Point 1 and point 4 seem to clash a bit..
If Rooney is sensational this season then he will be the world class striker we need..

If that's what you mean't you should have been more clear considering my post was commenting on a formation in a formation thread. Not sure exactly what your problem is, the manager obviously thinks he can mould Depay into a support striker so he can operate as Litmanen and Muller did for him in the past.
Not sure how you can be so pessimistic, the season hasn't even started, this is the time for all fans to be optimistic, if we don't get off to a flyer then it's only down from pessimism.
Care explaining what he could've done about the goal?
Just got out of the match. Decent crowd, not too many chants going round. Barca fan sitting behind talking shit after they scored...shut up real quick again a minute later.
Barca warmed up right in front of us, got some short clips going through the running.

Really hard to just write three words then, 'from the bench'. They are clearly talking about De Gea though, so no confusing with Johnston.
Any highlights of the game? @GifLord maybe?

Must have long arms seeing how he pushed him just prior to the header....
Any videos from post match interviews with Van Gaal? Think many players in the second half deserved to be in the first team.
Are there any videos of the game available online? I missed it after the first 15 minutes
Cheers bud!
I think maybe you need to have a think about how and what you see. If your observation powers are this poor its no wonder you dont see any other contributions. You may need glasses?. Watch again and you will see his sneaky push a split second before the ball got to the defender. Nothing to do with bad defending, Rooney got sneaky and made a chance for himself.
