Elanga is having a mare of a preseason. Utterly shite.
Manchester United 0:1 Atletico Madrid (Sat 30th July, 12:45 UK time)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
State of Bruno back to goal 
Elanga does well to shake off the attention then cocks up the pass, ugh.
Bruno has been playing much safer in pre-season which is what most people were saying they wanted last season. I personally don't like it. I want him trying risky passes and creating chances. I imagine his pass % is higher in these games than most last season but he's creating nothing. I want his pas % in the 70-75% range because that's the range that all the best creators fall into.
Zero vision too, the perfect replacement for Daniel James.
Elanga needs to man-up and not get intimidated by physical play. But he will learn.
"Fernandes trying to play a clever little pass there. Didn't quite work out."
I never get tired of hearing that from commentators.

, glad someone else noticed the similarityIt's a shame that we haven't given Pellestri a go with the first team in place of Elanga for the second half. Would have liked to see him with a full strength team.
Brunos pass completion numbers must be sub 40%
Very good defending from Maguire there.
Lindelof getting caught on the half way line in no man's land again. Maguire did well to block that shot.
Maguire
Yep. Harry is slowly but surely rebuilding his reputation as a good, solid defender.

Elanga taking them all on.
Maguire getting all the praise for doing the basics. Dear Lord.
Maguire so damn slow
Sancho on for Elanga and we are winni g this. Eriksen for Bruno whilst you're at it
Bruno and Elanga having their own competition for who gives the ball away the most.
Maguire is actually pretty good.
That must mean that twitter memes aren't necessarily the best way to understand football.

Think I'm going back to watching without the thread. Cafe hasn't changed a bit.
Wish our games were behind close doors so our match day thread can have @Rams dropping jokes every page.
Much better than constantly hearing how shite this player or that player is.

Elangas movement just feels all wrong. Bruno giving it away constantly today too. The rest have been excellent imo
If you told me Bruno's pass percentage with his back to goal was below 20% I'd absolutely believe it.
And there's Maguire always has one
always has oneWe are defending better and the absence ilof a dm is less evident than it was under Ole
Elanga is all pace. Not good enough.
Elanga really is the reincarnation of Daniel James in a United shirt isn't he?
Elanga could do with releasing the ball a bit earlier.
Really poor from Elanga. Takes too long on the ball and makes the wrong decision more often than not.
His reading of the game is second to none in the backline. He's been far and away the best CD at the club in pre-season.
If I say he's not very good, I'm clearly stating my opinion. Didn't think that warranted a dummy disclaimer.
The forwards are not connecting well with each other atm
Pre season. Let's see how he gets on when we play a few competitive games. Varane and martinez could be ahead of him
Elanga is poor.
Our passing is dreadful.
Either overhit or underhit. Good grief.
Either overhit or underhit. Good grief.
Our passing is sloppy as anything. We're good off the ball but as soon as we win it back we lose possession within seconds
Elanga.... Come on man
Elanga needs to come off, he's been diabolical.
James was at least a threat when running. Elanga is just...thereElanga really is the reincarnation of Daniel James in a United shirt isn't he?
That's a pen, no?
Rashford, Elanga, and Bruno have all been quite poor today
