• lineup strong as he wants to prepare for the season
• Valencia Bailly Smalling Shaw will likely start the first league game
• In midfield there'll be a few more options for the first league game
• In terms of attack there'll only be Sanchez added
• Club America good opponent to face as they'll cause us problems due to being in their season

Oh. Never saw that news. So this is what whoever complained so much about us signing a 35 y.o. GK was on about. We've paid £1.5m just so Joel Pereira can go on loan. Okay.

Kind of. Quite a few of our reserve keepers are going on loan too like Dean Henderson (or sold like Sam Johnstone) and so the only ones left will be needed to play in the reserves. I'd guess Kieran O'Hara will be leaving too as he's 22 and needs first team football.

Starting with pretty much strongest side it seems. Isn't Mitchell a left back or is he going to play as a winger?

Mitchell is playing as striker.

Cue the 2-up-front-omg-are-we-changing-formation excitement

Well its better than him sitting around doing nothing.

No brazilian channel is showing the game

Make sure to comment when Ander Herrera does a good through ball, it is something he barely attempted last season and one of the main reasons he was so exciting to watch back in 2014-15.

COME ON UNITED! 3 hours ago I came from work and I'm going to be more then 24 hrs awake for this

 

[Class of 63]

You only got 4/11 right.

Starting the season as I mean to go on

 

[Striker10]

Still believe in the kids. Some great talent coming through. C'mon United.

 

[Seven Seas Sardines]

Playing a diamond. Shaw and Valencia will have to attack a lot.

Why is the stadium so empty, and why is the American anthem playing?

[Hernandez - BFA]

Oh sweet jesus, they are playing the "Mighty Ducks" song

 

[FootyGirl88]

Did it show Herrera or McTominay playing as the defensive midfielder?

The lineup was

Herrera McTominay Pereira

So it might be Herrera.

New kits make Shaw looks skinny already. Good job Adidas

 

[deafepl]

Shaw's face on the team sheet

 

[RRCE]

The new home kit looks great on the players, in my opinion.

It looks like a very small crowd. I’d be curious to see what the attendance proves to be.

 

[Hojoon]

Club America's manager was the manager for Mexico in 2014 WC. Loved the Dragon Ball Z meme he started.

 

[Duafc]

Kit looks lovely.

 

[bosnian_red]

Interesting Pereira being the deepest

 

[FootyGirl88]

Why is the ref wearing trainers?

 

[Sandyman]

Pereira looks like he is playing in front of the centre halfs.

 

[MrPooni]

What a godawful racket.

 

[vangagal]

Is this stadium using artificial grass? Ref using Adidas's sport shoes there instead football shoes

 

[peridigm]

Football is back!

 

[Sandyman]

Good play from Mitchell but Martial couldn't get a shot away.

 

[MrPooni]

I always forget how knowledgable Bojan Djordjic is.

 

[deafepl]

CB passing to the attacker? Are we in 3018?

 

[Kostur]

God I love those early morning matches in pre-season.

 

[roonster09]

Pereira is looking good in deeper role.

 

[bosnian_red]

Almost lovely from Pereira-mata-herrera combo

 

[TheeAma]

Still seeing things from last season. Had a chance to counter and no player was darting forward and the ball was just played back to defense

 

[FootyGirl88]

Pereira is playing really well so far, he's made two lovely passes forward so far.

 

[deafepl]

That kit fits the profile of United much better.

Feck off. Not the time for moaning yet.

 

[SqueakyWeasel]

VAR

 

[MrPooni]

Always nice to see our corner's haven't improved over the summer

 

[Reddy Rederson]

What is martial doing there? Stay on your feet and take a dig.

 

[Sandyman]

Oh Martial! Oh our corners!

 

[peridigm]

Jesus. If he didn’t go down like someone hit him in the back with a piano he may have won a penalty.
