Most excited to see Fletcher and Herrera in midfield again, Herrera didn't quite work as well without Fletcher a bit behind him
Manchester United vs Inter Milan (Pre-season Friendly)

I know the feeling. I'm from northern Norway and 24 is slightly too hot imo.
Valencia and Young as the wing backs then.
CONFIRMED MUFC XI:
Lindegaard
Smalling
Jones
Evans
Valencia
Fletcher
Herrera
Young
Mata
Rooney
Welbeck
SUBS: de Gea, Amos, Johnstone, Shaw, M Keane, Blackett, James, Cleverley, Nani, Zaha, Kagawa, Lingard, Hernandez, W Keane.

Most attacking looking United side i've seen on paper.
Why LVG trying to fit Young into wing back role? I think it's just better to sell players that are surplus to requirements. Esp if there is no place for them really.
Oh didn't even know we had Horizon lol, can i also switch to english commentators there?
nvm apparently UPC changed to Horizon
lovely line up... hope we come out swinging
MUFC: Lindegaard; Smalling, Jones, Evans; Valencia, Fletcher, Herrera, Young; Mata; Rooney, Welbeck.
Im actually quite disappointed in the line up and the way things are going, its a personal issue i guess.
But the fact that LVG keeps playing Young and Valencia just reminds me that theres no way hes going to sell them and hes going to let them have 1000 more chances to prove themselves over our top talents again.

We'll feck them over so hard it will be on redtube by tomorrow.
Same as the team against Galaxy except for Young and Lindegaard coming in for De Gea and Shaw I think. 8-0 this time then.
Luke "Fatty" Shaw in the gym then?
How is he "not fit"? I don't get that. He wasn't exactly overworked in the World Cup.

Smalling at RB, Young, Welbeck.
Not really much option as wingbacks when the other choices are Rafael (injured) and Shaw (not fit).
Disappointed Kagawa isn't given a shot in a role further forward, no doubt he'll come on in the second half in CM.
I work the graveyard shift, tried watching the games from my phone
but gave up as it kept hanging.
wanted to see james there again. who will be substituted in at half time between shaw and reece? Im hoping james does
Could see it potentially becoming 4 at the back with Evans at left back and Young ahead of him,
It will most likely be Smalling as one of three centrebacks with Young as a wingbackSmalling at RB, Young, Welbeck.
Who should play instead? Shaw will probably play the second half and Valencia/Young are the only two that can play RWB now that Rafael is out.
Van Gaal said that Zaha will come on as a striker for the second half, didn't he? Be interesting to see what sort of combination that's in, whether he's partnered with Rooney or Welbeck.
Can't see Zaha and Hernandez playing up front together somehow.

I was hoping we'd see James start. Got everyone right except Valencia and Lindegaard. I think I may have got 1 of the CB's wrong too, think I put Keane in.
When you realise that, Lindeegard apart, that team could quite conceivably start a good few PL games next season.
Same! First time I've got more than 8 out of the starting XI. Was in two minds whether to start Val and Lindegaard too. Wish I did.
Shaw not even on the bench apparently. What's going on with him?
Honestly against most pl sides that team would not fill me with the greatest confidence, in its current state at least.
Because we don't have enough wing-backs for this new system. Worth a try, though I don't think he has the defensive understanding that is needed there. And with Shaw on his conditioning stint, we would only have James to play there during the tour.
This is the first pre-season friendly I am able to watch and I am very excited about it. Only saw the goals and highlights from the other matches.
Aye I put Keane in for Evans. So 3 wrong
I'm guessing that he isn't fit.
Ashley Young at wing-back...
Let's hope he's learned how to defend in the last day or so.

Can anyone PM me a river for this?
Exactly. We're in a far bigger mess then I think many realise. Thankfully it seems Van Gaal does.
Anyone know of a River that is iPad compatible?
Decent team imo. Anyone PM me a good stream?
hes been put on a special fitness program, may have something to do with that

No Shaw even as a reserve. Subs: De Gea, Zaha, Kagawa, Nani, Cleverley, Blackett, Smalling, M.Keane, Hernandez, Lingard.
So he left players out of the bench...?

Yeah but surely playing 45 minutes in a friendly aids his fitness. A half-fit Shaw wouldn't be too big a risk especially in a preseason game.
Surely playing games is better for Shaw's fitness ??
James isn't in the squad either, then.
