A pleasing day's training. There's a clear idea to our play and a lot of the youngsters look like they're coming along nicely. There will be tougher tests ahead but its good to see the kids looking like they're up to it.

Good performance. Much better from Andreas and Chong. Gomes was great again but Martial needs to step it up.

Would it be better to have Pereira instead of Mata along with Scott and Pogba?

Pereira, Rashford, Gomes, Greenwood did very well. Decent game by the rest, except for Lingard.

FT 4-0

God result against those dirty c****

Performance wise good but our defending could have been better at times, especially 1st half. Youngster that came on in the 2nd half were fantastic to watch. Gomes in particular, his play was so similar to David Silva.

Andreas and Angel absolutely ran the show in that second half. Other than Chong, Lingard (especially) and Rojo, I thought that was a good performance.

Young needs to calm down so unnecessary. Overall great entertaining game. We look much better than last years preseason games.

Martial has to start doing more, movement is not good enough for a striker.

Said that yesterday. He doesn't need to do anything. We need to sell him. All comes back to us accepting that level from him for 2 seasons.

Lingard, Martial, Andreas and Rojo are trash, Young well past his best - hope Dalot plays LB in serious games in future if Shaw's out, Joel Pereira looked very nervous so hopefully he gets another loan (/sold), everyone else I was pretty pleased with. Especially delighted the way Rashford took his goals, Wan Bissaka with a great assist, Gomes and Chong did well I thought, and obviously fantastic goal for Greenwood to open his account with! Feck off Lids! :D

Really good performance by the team. Not getting too excited because we seen what happened in Van Gaal's first season pre-season but plenty of encouraging signs.

Still really need to buy three or four proven quality for us to really achieve something this season though.

Ole talking up Sanchez.....I think the coffers are dry.
