Sbragia is going all trendy and getting us playing some sexy football.
On a side note Willock going to St Mirren on loan.

Was particularly impressed with the number 7, Mayamona I think?But seriously....
Impressed at one time or another during the tournament by, and in no particular order: Fish, Norkett, Walters, Iqbal, Dodgson, Ibrahim, Mayamona, Lawton and Mainoo.
Let's hope he plays a more attacking formation this time around.Tweet

I didn't get to see the game but the team was announced as a 4231 - which I think they used last year. anyone got any better insight as to changes?Interesting this.
So we are planning to play similar formations in all the three leagues?
Harkin was very impressive in the tournament, plays and looks a bit like Michael Owen. Does him already having had a trial and not been signed immediately at the end of it mean he was rejected? Or do these things sometimes take a bit longer with young players, e.g. with the clubs perhaps waiting until they're a little older to make a deal, especially if they have to move a fair way as part of it?Was at the game - goalscorer for Co. Londonderry was Lee Harkin who had a trail with United last month - looked pretty useful. Charlie Savage is a spitting image of his dad.

In fairness it was a poor performance from us. A few of the players you expect to step up were completely anonymous. Our central defenders were really sloppy….so a deserved win for the hometeam.Thought dj buffonge looked useful last night, far too good on the ball for Spragia's liking though so was predictably subbed off. Spragia is the one and only big mistake Butts made since taking his post imo
Im not really on about the result or teams performance, its a pre season friendly that dosnt matter.In fairness it was a poor performance from us. A few of the players you expect to step up were completely anonymous. Our central defenders were really sloppy….so a deserved win for the hometeam.

Wait... what?Mourinho's failure to play youth in pre season friendlies
Many think he should have give them more minutes. I was hoping to see Gomes a lot more.Wait... what?
Interesting on the Devine one, has he played for England under age sides?Interesting tweet by the Man Utd account says we've signed two more u18's, Connor Stanley, who a quick google search tells me he was formerly of Birmingham City and Reece Devine who interestingly, used to play for Man City. I can't post tweets so hopefully someone else does it later
Played against San Jose...Many think he should have give them more minutes. I was hoping to see Gomes a lot more.

he is. Can play further up the pitch too though.Isn't Reece Devine another right-footed left-back, or am I confusing him with somebody else ?
Thanks. Pereira certainly seems to have taken his opportunity and hopefully is straight into the first team until Pogba comes back. A loan would be good for McTominay and I'd hope to see Fosu and Tuanzebe get some time at CB/RB. Funny one for Mitchell as he hasn't appeared to strengthen his position despite Shaw continuing to underwhelm. Come end of the window it will be clearer as to how much of a chance the young defenders will have to get involved.
Sam Greenwood signed for Arsenal, and Bali Mumba(still only16)is playing for Sunderland's first team today against Charlton Athletic right now(live on SkySports) has probably decided to stay put, for nowWhat happened with the two Sunderland players we were linked with?
Pretty much agree with all of that.Thanks. Pereira certainly seems to have taken his opportunity and hopefully is straight into the first team until Pogba comes back.
