    Rashford clearly not happy with Mourinho. :P
     
    F. Pogba:

    "I have no apprehension to play this match. I just want to play in this mythical stage."

    "It would be a great joy for my mother to see her two sons on the pitch, I know she hopes for a draw between us."

    "Each of us wants to take advantage of this moment but will do our utmost to achieve it, that the best wins."

    "Ibrahimovic is an exceptional player, he has a big gauge and we will do everything to prevent him from scoring."

    That defending though jeeez, they do look pacey on the counter Saint-Etienne so I guess that will be Mou's main focus, especially that there away first leg and will probably play for a 0-0 or at best a goal on the counter.

    Is that pub football?
    The purple shirts looked like they'd had a big xmas lunch and could barely move. Either that, or they'd been sedated before the game.
     
    Is that floppy haired keeper Dean Henderson?

    If so, does his involvement in training suggest Romero in goal with him on the bench?

    Yes. No, we always have 3 gk’s in the squad until the last minute, guess in case one gets injured close to the match. Henderson, as were Pereira and Johnstone, is always ”the 19th player”, the last one who’s dropped from the match day squad. Romero will probably play on Sunday.

    Is Shaw in this video anywhere and who is the english coach who is leading the session? I dont remember one on staff.

    Shaw next to DDG at 2:34. If you meant the English coach that leading the session in that same instance in the video then he has been here for awhile since LVG's days. He is something to do with warm up and injury preventing.

    But most of them aren't concentrating and are goofing around.

    You were serious?



    Under Mourinho too. Notice Arbeloa kinda lazy in some instances of this session, and remember how Arbeloa was praised by Mourinho for his professionalism.

    See that the weather is far from ideal now than in Real Madrid video, if we approach our training session as stiff as LVG, then the players would be really stressed. It's understandable we should lighten up the mood and allow players more freedom in warming up session. It's not like they skip the exercise after all.

    Like a few have said in here - it'll be the same line-up as the Watford game.
     
    I've gone with the same line-up against Watford (although I'm not convinced Martial will start) with Rashford, Rojo and Fellaini to come off the bench.

    Also it's really great to be seeing us playing so much this year, it may be taxing on the players but at the fans it's always good to see United play!

    This. If they weren't assed Mourinho (of all coaches) would have a thing or two to say them. This is strictly a mental thing, to be relaxed and have good chemistry before a big game.

    Its a very short snippet of part of a warm up session. The coaches will have them concentrating when needed. You have to let players relax at times and turn it on at other times.
     
    Hopefully a large win tonight but I'm not sure whether Saint-Etienne can concede 3 goals knowing that they'll park the bus.

    Galtier will try to park the bus, be aggressive and he's really successful at parking the bus.

    The team is not frightening, but has speed upfront. Their midfielders are good workers but can't produce much.

    Be careful at counters and set pieces where Pogba and Perrin are very good at.

    I predict a very good game from Ruffier the GK
