That opening two minutes was putting me to sleep. I hope to see ideas today and not just counter attacking football.
Sometimes you guys sound like the 90 minutes of football is an inconvenience - and you just want to get to the moaning

It’s weird how the crowd noise changes when it’s a friendly compared to a normal match day. It sounds like masters football or something, more kids maybe?

Until Rashford improves his first touch when receiving the ball he won't be able to rule the game as a striker.

Nothing at stake so people are more relaxed.

More kids and maybe some it is their first game. Sometimes it is better trying them out with a friendly game first.

Today Lens fans are singing which is fairly different to many PL games.

Seriously? Eriksen over Mount?
Yes, of course. :houllier:
I'm not that impressed with Mount, who I see as a player who varies far too much in performance. One day he is good, the next he almost has to pay the entrance fee, as he is a spectator. Eriksen has a large working radius and even on his worst days, you are 100% sure that he attends to his tasks and works. In addition, Eriksen has a top level that Mount does not come close to even on his best days.

Mount has only played a couple of pre-season games and he has already looked like he offers a lot more than Eriksen, who was been absolutely dreadful since his injury.

I guess we’ll just agree to disagree.

I know it's only a pre-season match, but we still don't look like a top side. We don't dominate possession or create many chances. Most of our chances seem to be from counters

Download the ManUtd app - you can watch for free on your phone
What am I doing wrong? Seen this suggested a few times, yet whenever I try watching in the United app, it tells me to subscribe to MUTV.

Fabrizio confirms Hojlund's injured and will miss the first few weeks. That's really annoying

It's a different crowd. Full of people who don't normally get the chance to go, lots of families. For a lot of people there it will be the only games they get to attend in a season.

And you're right, the crowd sound is always more high pitched :lol:

Bit worried we seem to be lacking sharpness with a week until the PL starts.
