Lewandowski on the bench?
Looks like he is really done.

This has been an open, entertaining game so far.
Been injured and he's not back to full fitness yet.
Ronaldo’s comment about “never hearing of him” was definitely indicative of the whole team’s attitude. Guarantee they were all slagging him off with Ronaldo.
Unbelievably arrogant pricks.
Got injured in their final warmup match.
Poland have grown into the game
Poland level. Number 23 slots home.

Good game this
Not undeserved to be fair.
Get in!
We woke up a little last 10 mins or so.
Zieliński has stepped up and things immediately improved.

ITV commentary is much better. Why do the BBC insist on having Shearer and Keown on?
Austrian players lack the technical quality to make this work, but you can clearly see how good they are tactically.
Absolutely. If Rangnick had stayed we’d have signed some decent players.
They have played some really good football in the first 15 minutes. Like a Jurgen Klopp team on top.
Our recruitment after Fergie has been shit. A weird collection of players.
Close from Sabitzer.
Never saw this Sabitzer at United
The passing of Austria is just not quite good enough.
I'm livid. Sabitzer, Grilitsch, Baumgartner are horrible today. Absolutely rubbish.
Exactly. We have a mentality problem at the club.
Piatek, what a blast from the transfer window past
Someone brushed his cheek. Time to die.
Good save
Good game. Hate the bad decision making in the last third though.
Slight touch on the face and the man goes down like he got hit by Mike Tyson.God, I hate this kind of players.

Rangninck was a essentially a lame duck manager who was set up to fail by incompetent decision makers.
Not sure if he would've cut it as a a PL manager, but he'd have been an outstanding DoF for MU if the latter didn't give in to every demand of their new, shiny bald toy.
Agree, but it gets you a FK.
God, I hate this kind of players.
True. Still, feck them.
People will fall for Rangnick's tactics here forgetting that this is an international competition, a lot of teams rarely set up in any meaningful tactical shape besides the most basic ones and managers want to keep things compact and hope the team nicks one when they can.
Austria are quite unique in that case given that most in their league play the high intensity/press game. There's a reason Red bull started their maniac pressing experiment there. A lot of those Austrian players are more comfortable squeezing the pitch, pressing high and intensely than they are creating anything through passing and triangles. Rangnick has just come in and played to theirs and his strength.
As for that style of play itself, there's a reason Hassenuttl, Marco Rose, and Roger Schmidt are not at any top top clubs. It is unsustainable over a season, players will get injured, lose form, you will play against smaller teams content with sitting deep and be unable to break them down.
I said all of that to say, nothing Austria does here is unexpected, Rangnick has found the perfect place to implement his tactic, but that tactic wouldn't have worked at united. No point crying over spilled milk.

100%
Sabitzer is so good
Why do so many British pundits and commentators say "Ranyick"?
it doesn't make sense. You just say it like it's spelled

Sabitzer is shit.
I really like zalewski the LB. We should try and get him from Roma
Mourinho has done a phenomenal job with him. Also taught him the dark arts well.
How can anyone say sabitzer is good today? He is horseshit horrible horrible match.
No way we win this, we are as good as gone now. Pathetic performance once again when something is on the line. Bunch of bottlers.
