[Kaos]

Moyes started his first game with a defeat. Lets hope van Gaal gets us off to a more positive start, omen wise.

 

[justboy68]

I wish this wasn't on at stupid o'clock for this side of the pond.

 

[Raw]

That's a big ass image.

We should get to see Herrera and Shaw at least getting game time, I'm so excited

Are all our players back from the World Cup then?

I actually searched for another size but there isn't one.

I'll get something different, I think.

The world Cup returnees are supposed to be back tomorrow or day after and won't be available for the first game IIRC.

 

[limerickcitykid]

Is there a time when the tour squad will be announced? It was announced about a week before last year I think.

I wanna say I read it will be released tomorrow.

 

[Gannicus]

The Rose Bowl is a spectacular stadium that's hard describe in mere words. I'll going down for the game, which itself will be just a training ground exercise but the atmosphere should be sensational.

 

[kclord]

Going to this game next week too! Very excited to see the first game in a new era, although last year's pre-season was dreadful. Hoping for a better result, but Gannicus is right: fans will be buzzing for several reasons.

 

[khoazany]

Quite hard to predict anything before the tour list is out but I think LVG will go for:

Lindegaard
Vermijl - M.Keane - Evans - James(Shaw if available)
Herrera - Fletcher
Lingard - Powell - Young
Wilson​

 

[limerickcitykid]

I wanna say I read it will be released tomorrow.

Nice, shall be a pleasant surprise if so.

 

[bosnian_red]

We'll be pretty close to full strength right from the start, right? Only Carrick is injured, then RVP, Fellaini, Januzaj and Evra are on vacation still because they got out of the groups. We can probably play something like this, who knows what it'll actually look like though.

De Gea
Rafael Jones Evans Shaw
Herrera Fletcher
Kagawa Mata Welbeck
Rooney

WC lads will join from the second matches onwards except for maybe Shaw who seem to already train with us.

You sure? On United's home site it says that they'll all be there for the duration of the tour.

Many of United’s World Cup players will also be in attendance for the tour's duration, including Wayne Rooney, David De Gea, Shinji Kagawa and Juan Mata.

 

[gooDevil]

Nice, shall be a pleasant surprise if so.

Okay, internet says they fly out tomorrow, so at that point the media would spread the names of those on the flight, so surely they will go ahead and announce it.

Either way, tomorrow is the day.

 

[Ronaldo's Mum Eh?]

I wish I was rich so I could fly back to LA (was there on my recent vacation) and just go to this game and chill out in Hollywood after.

 

[Superpolfcb]

Does anyone know if it's broadcasted on a pay channel or 'free' in the USA?

I'm there for the rest of the month but don't really have a clue which channels are free over here.

 

[vibe]

Hope we get to see Wilson take charge in attack. Would love to see more of him.
Vermiji and Keane have always struck me as good prospects, so let's hope they get some playing time as well.

 

[Maagge]

Oooh, it seems like I'll have the day off on Thursday. Looking forward to seeing the lads in action again. And I'm quite excited about who of the youth players will go.

 

[holyland red]

Wednesday, July 23rd, LA Galaxy vs. Manchester United at the Rose Bowl, Pasadena, California (7:30 PM PT, 10:30PM ET, 3:30 AM BST July 24th)

Wasn't this the venue for Lightning McQueen's wonderful gesture?

 

[holyland red]

Quite hard to predict anything before the tour list is out but I think LVG will go for:

Lindegaard
Vermijl - M.Keane - Evans - James(Shaw if available)
Herrera - Fletcher
Lingard - Powell - Young
Wilson​

Why?

 

[Rozay]

Hope we win. I was one of those who voiced concerns at our inability to beat anyone last pre season hut the consensus seemed to be that it matters not how useless we look simply because it's pre season.

We all saw in the end that we were rubbish because we were, well - rubbish.

 

[Superpolfcb]

Vermijl will not go on Tour (will be sold)

 

[LR7]

It seems unlikely that the lads joining up today will be ready to play as soon as Wednesday. Rooney, Jones, Smalling, Welbeck, Mata, DDG, Nani, Valencia (any more?) will probably need to build up fitness these first few days.

 

[Mrs Smoker]

5 AM, 10 PM, 1:30 AM, 10 PM....aaaaarrr, come on, Tour Africa next time.

 

[Turnip]

Think he's going to be playing players he's actually thinking of using in the league much? Since he's not really seen most the players play properly surely he'll be taking the chance to get an idea?

Would totally try and find a stream of this... if it wasn't on at 3:30am.

 

[Evilsanta]

WC lads will join from the second matches onwards except for maybe Shaw who seem to already train with us.

No reason why the England players cant be there for the first game they were terrible at the World Cup and have already had a three week break.

They need time off to recover from their heart-break.

 

[ottosec]

I think the WC players that were eliminated form group stage will fly today to the US and the others will have another week or so off. The exception is RVP who has more time off, obviously.

 

[Midnight1811]

3:30 am - BST ? Luckily I'm up at that time. Is that the kick off time? If so, when would the match 5:30

 

[mata10]

10 players come back today, so i think most will be there. What time is this according to IST? Anyone has any news on complete travelling squad?

 

[Rozay]

It seems unlikely that the lads joining up today will be ready to play as soon as Wednesday. Rooney, Jones, Smalling, Welbeck, Mata, DDG, Nani, Valencia (any more?) will probably need to build up fitness these first few days.

Well this is why they will play. It's the whole point of pre-season is it not? We can't have players who are too unfit to play in a fitness building game.

 

[Rozay]

When does the travelling squad get announced?

 

[Baby Faced Assassin]

Is Jesse Lingard in the travelling squad?

 

[SalfordRed18]

Hope we win. I was one of those who voiced concerns at our inability to beat anyone last pre season hut the consensus seemed to be that it matters not how useless we look simply because it's pre season.

We all saw in the end that we were rubbish because we were, well - rubbish.

As was I. People were burying their heads in the sand last pre-season when the writing was on the wall. Fact is, bad pre-seasons tend to lead to bad seasons IMO.

-------Lindergaard----------

Rafael - Keane - Evans - James/Shaw

-------Fletcher ------Cleverley--------

Young-------Herrera---------Lingard/Zaha

-------------Keane-------------------


Probably for the first game then.

 

[RedBistro]

Hope someone gets this recorded and uploaded, no way am I going to be able to watch the first game, which sucks!

 

[FromTheBench]

With this selection just looking forward to Keane * 2, Lingard, Shaw, Herrera and maybe Zaha and James.

And if we do something different tactically.
