Great half. Best performance of pre-season by some distance undoubtedly.

Real Madrid are getting really flustered. Don't think they expected us to completely play them off the pitch, even though it is only a pre season game.

Been a really good match so far. It's extraordinary how much of an impact LVG has had on us. And rival fans wonder why we are so bullish coming into the season.

I know it's only preseason, but this really does bode well for this season. I'm really looking forward to the new season!

What a half. Wow.

I don't actually know what to say.

When Welbeck got injured, a better idea would have been to put Kagawa on and stick Rooney as a full 9 up top.

We look really good. Great ball retention and the players look so natural under pressure. Fletcher and Evans in particular, Fletcher could play a large part this season.

TBH, I think Welbeck will displace one of Rooney/RvP this season, if he stays fit. He seems to be vital to our quick passing game.

Excellent first half. Really looking forward to seeing how this formation will work in the premier league, but United already look a lot better than last season.

Great half. Real getting frustrated and that first team goal was sweet!
Hopefully a sign of things to come with the adaptation to LVG tactics going smoothly!
Disclaimer: Real are obviously not quite as fit at the moment as we are.

Never thought I'd say this so close to our worst season ever but, we're dominating Real Madrid! They're only really missing Ronaldo (arguably James) but we're missing RVP. I'm enjoying this :drool:

Fletcher has a real shot at captaincy I think.

Great half!
Young and Fletcher look like 2 new signings.

We look totally different as oppose to last season, passing, running, creating chances, we're clearly enjoying ourselves and it's great to see. LVG has made them clic it seems.

What a different pre season this is from last year.

Lovely football. Controlled the game. The first goal was pure class.

Fletcher, Young, Mata and Welbeck have been outstanding. Unlucky for Danny.

So anyway yeah, I reckon most of the white shirts in the stadium are our away kit.

Very good performance.

Keane vs Bale incident only blip really. And except for that bit of naive play Keane has actually done pretty well.

Fletcher and Young have been the standouts for me.
