Good to hear, cant wait for the new season with a proper midfield
wasnt so sure about herrera, but now looks like we finally made a good value for money signing and quality
I wonder if lvg could turn fellaini into the best midfield destroyer in europe hahaha

hahahaPeople need to realise Shaw isn't used to this role; he usually has a winger in front of him.
Ronaldo <3
The difference between this and the last year's preseason is for everyone to see.
Should have sacked him then only. fecking Moyes

I really don't like it. Bit of an eye sore for me but I'll need to see it on my HD tv rather than on a low quality stream I guess
Well he's a full back primarily, Valencia is a winger. Still will take him time to adapt. Fullbacks can't really play as wingers since they have a completely different style of attacking and getting up the pitch. They do overlapping runs and when they have nobody to overlap it's a different challenge they aren't used to. Evra struggled a few times like that when we only used Valencia on the right and no left winger a few years ago.
He's kept the ball well though, offered width and hasn't wasted it which is good.
Great first half !!
Well worth getting up at 3:45am for
Loving Herrera and Mata together.

Defending wise Valencia was not that better then Shaw,attacking wise Shaw needs to be more brave and try stuff instead of playing safe options.In general great half,we need another CM imo.
Brilliant first half. I know it's pre-season but you can see a philosophy, a bite in their play. The small one touch passes are doing it for me, the combination of Mata and Herrera is a joy to behold.
Shaw looks a little star struck and perhaps a little surprised coming out of that tumescent England team at the quality we obviously still have.
IF we got someone like Vidal in this team would be incredible to watch. However LVG may be watching this thinking "who needs to spend that kind of money" he will be mindful that this is essentially a lower to relegation zone type of team in comparison to the prem.
The space we have in the middle is quite shocking.
They are temporary, but Herrera will probably be no.21 when the season starts, unless Young leaves and he gets the no.18.
Shaw has to be nailed on for the no.3.
Yep. If we continue to play this formation with Rooney up top, I have no doubt that he'll go on to be our all time top goalscorer.
I worry about the space behind Valencia, just can't see fletch covering that and Valencia isn't a full back.
Thought apart from an opening gash couple of first touches, Fletch has had a good game. Picked out a sublime pass to Shaw midway through.
Rooney's been a bit vacant, but apart from that, can't really complain, really good start, midfield is working well, finally!

Awesome, sublime touch, quick thinking. Mata and Herrera seem to have a mental telepathy.
I'm happy with the performance. Herrera have been really good linking with Mata and Welbeck have been great.
Now lets make some subs for the second half. Give other players some chance.

Of course, of course, but it's incessant on American TV. I know it sounds pedantic, but the club name is not the "Manchester United Red Devils. It sounds like they're referring to Los Angeles Lakers. "And the Red Devils have the ball... He shoots... He scores! Goal for the Red Devils. That's Red Devil soccer. Really devilish shot into the upper ninety of the frame."
I agree that's why I said it's early everyone says he is a major talent so no worries from me
This Chevrolet stream is hilarious, Rooney's only just scored his penalty!
We're very much used to playing with 2 forwards, it will take some time getting used to playing with 3. So far Welbeck is linking up really well with Mata but Rooney needs to involve himself more in our attacking play.
Van Gaal can equal the amount of silverware Moyes' won for United tonight with the Chevrolet Cup.
What an honour. Van Gaal can add that prestigious trophy to the long list of trophies in his CV.

The one to Rooney down the line. Sorry, I had to. I only remember because I remember the commentator saying Herrera was furious when he give it away.
This proves even more why another midfielder is needed. See the effect just one good one can have
looking good so far but LA Galaxy has been quite poor
I have to say, already, Herrera and Mata would be the first names in any Utd team. Their linkup play has been top class.
Keane brothers, Rafael, Cleverley, etc. warming up. We're probably going to field a whole new team in the second half.

Some of this interplay will help Cleverley immensely if he ever gets to play in the role that Mata is playing at the moment. Not sure if we're needing another play like Fletcher/Fellaini/Carrick. If Fletch goes from here and then Fellaini has a problem then we're depleted for Herrera partners to stabilize.
I think Herrera will be a stellar signing. Totally missed him last season.

Need another two.
This game is for a trophy?
This must be asked several times and answered as many...but what formation are we playing?
I'd like to see Cleverley on for Fletcher, Rafael on for Smalling and Lingard for Valencia.
I've liked Higginbotham so far. Well spoken. Stands out on that channel. Good to see a smaller name get on TV as a pundit. A trend that hopefully will end up keeping the poor speakers with big names awayffrom the TV.
Don't forget 3-1 to sevilla.Losing our first game to a Thai XI
That decision looks more and more baffling as the time progresses.
Shaw has been poor. Probably nervous or unsure in the system but poor nontheless. Herrera, Mata and Welbeck have been good. Our best three I think.
Not enough Welbeck in that team...............RVP.....Rooney.............

Second-half kick-off
Yes it's the Galaxy. Yes it's the first preseason match. But it sure feels and looks different from every preseason, league, and cup match we played last year.
