My thoughts on the first half:

1. Bailly fitting in just perfect. He is allowed mistakes to get to know how not to repeat them.
2. The game is a long ball game from Leicester and that has suited Fellaini more than it has Carrick, which is why many feel like Carrick has been missing, think its just the type of game being played.
3. Rooney...enough said.
4. Jesse is really stepping up, I was not happy that he was put in ahead of Mhki, but my word, did he make me eat my thoughts.
5. Zlatan, needs a partner to start playing off on. He is coming in too deep to try and get some of the ball. Like his strength so far and will fit right in, just needs good service as any striker does.
6. Martial been quiet, but again might just need to get some more minutes in his legs, or maybe its still in his head that his no more no 9. Think he will grow into the game. Should keep him on till at least 65min

Lets have some more of that first half, and then some.

If this players name was Depay, and had the same performance Red fans would be calling for his head. Yet Martial, who hasn't done anything this preseason gets a pass.

Memphis would give the same performance as Martial.

imo...I'd put Rashford in for Martial (remember...Rashford played on the left for the national squad) and I'd have MK replace Rooney.

I loved him before he came here. His personality is awesome

Im a fan myself, but if he doesnt score enough you will see. We were all gaga for Falcao then he was a joke at the end.

I didnt say that, I said they use that to shit on him. Because he looks the way he does and because of how he was bought he gets shat on very quickly if he plays bad, if you dont see that then I dunno. Also I dont see what he has done wrong today, whats he done wrong?

He's not stood out as the worst today, Rooney has done a good job on that front.

Bailly impresses me with the way in which he won't dive in recklessly in dangerous areas but will be calculated in is challenges. The kinds of tackles I've seen him make in front of goal impresses me.

Now that we're up the goal, really expect Carrick to kick on a dictate the tempo.

Keep the ball and make leicester chase the game. If we can do anything right, its keeping possession :lol:

Also, I hope we take Rooney off and replace with Targaryan. I want to see how devastating a bit of pace in the middle of the park can be.

he has been pretty solid so far tbf

We're doing OK, a lot more balanced and a lot less crablike.

Part of the reason i don't like him is because he lookes like a donkey bufoon, don't like that?, what a shame but you will get over it.

All players looking good except Rooney. Surprisingly, we seem to be winning the 50-50 tackles which was were leicester excelled last year. Not having Kante is hurting them.

Now we have to relearn how to make the correct forward runs. Still a bit too static.

But the likes of Valencia, Shaw and Lingard have been terrific.

Yeah, been one of Valencia's biggest critics but he's looked good. If Martial starts playing better our flanks could be lethal.

Felli actually looks better with the blonde hair.

Rooney for Mkhi second half I hope.

Posts like this are so tiring. Do you feel like you've scored some points over fellow posters?

Shaw back is great and Mahrez has been on the periphery

Bailly looks dominant- looking forward to him paired with Smalling

Fellaini trying to be positive with his passing but not great so far

Lingard a bright spark- Martial struggling a little

Get the feeling the Rooney/Zlatan partnership is going to frustrate....a couple of nice moves from Zlatan but Rooneys control let him down

AltiUn · Aug 7, 2016

After that first nutmeg Bailly has grown into the game and looks very mature, done some very well timed tackles and seems to be organising the defence quite well. More vocal than I expected.

Ace of Spades · Aug 7, 2016

Fellaini, Rooney and Carrick have been poor. The forwards are not getting the balls provided to them, so they keep dropping deep to get them which does not help us.

I don't get your point, martial has shown far more in his Utd career to prove he's the better player. Just a pointless comment

Bailly reminds me of Vidic, he just throws himself at the ball and into challenges. Fearless.

It's not just the aggression; it's the overall build and then the poise/grace. Vidic had excellent body control and Bailly's showing something similar so far.

Fair enough. :lol:

He's done a decent job, tbf, today. Was the right man for all the long balls being pinged over by Leicester.

Martial gets a pass for his outstanding season last year.

Red Dreams · Aug 7, 2016

Fellani looks akward because of his height and the way he moves.

He is ususally pretty spot on with ball control and being persistent. Keeps going and does come up with the odd goal. Has kept his elbows down.

VP89 · Aug 7, 2016

SirAnderson said:
This is a Fellaini type game. Leicester are playing long ball game, and he has been on the end of a few headers already, so its suiting him more than it would say Herrera who is more on the floor technical player.

Herrera was in no shape or form more "on the floor technical" than Fellaini in the last year.

3KDré · Aug 7, 2016

I think they should have started Nampalys Mendy. He seems fairly good.

SaboTaj · Aug 7, 2016

The big positive is that Fellaini hasn't been that bad to be honest!

Rooney has been the most disappointing though, as expected, he should be the first change. His pace of thought is a fair few steps behind what we have in front of him now.

Man-United · Aug 7, 2016

It's a pre season game kind of. It's about giving minutes to players. Keep Martial on.

DevilRed · Aug 7, 2016

musa coming on.

Didnt the cnut score against us for some russian team last season?

Oooh, so close but not quite. I'm sure it'll happen a few more times in the second half so you can have another go at it.

I'll try to pay more attention this half

Amadaeus · Aug 7, 2016

Good change by leceister.

Raw · Aug 7, 2016

Musa and Gray on for Okazaki and Albrighton

Musa's a pacy lad, let's see how our defence copes.

I was getting a little frustrated with how we started. But tbf Jose does like to keep it tight and then move forward. But Rooney and Ibra have been slow.
