Given how awful rashford was last season this has been a MASSIVE improvement. Slowing getting his confidence back I think.
Manchester United 2:2 Steven Gerrard's Villa (Sat 23rd July, 10:45 UK time)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Sancho so so good in the final third
Dalot not having the best game today
Without a doubt2-0 deserved but that one is 100% down to nobody being able to see anything
The players are missing Manchester's weather.

I can see this getting called off
Just like Manchester
Fred looking good.
That Ramsey kid is very good.
Jesus Christ that rain. Hilarious goal.
This match has me feeling really excited for the future under ten Hag. We’re only a few weeks in and we’re looking significantly better in every aspect of the game with basically the same players.
By the time the season is in full swing this team could be considered mostly our second string (Malacia, Martinez, Varane, New RB, de Jong, Eriksen, Antony and Ronaldo would all get in if/when they arrive).
But even without that, the signs are there that ten Hag will have us competing for silverware within 3 years.

He's actually a better passer than De Jong.
I've already put a bet down, it's free money
Meant it 
Unreal it rains so heavily in Australia in the summer

What an over the top ball from Fred. Who said his balls forward didn't exisr
Fred has been amazing to be fair, positioning, passes, interceptions, support runs. Just on point.
*Frenkie intensifies*
I dont know what role Beek is playing.
How are we playing?
I think, with a bit of luck, he could become Manchester United's greatest ever player. - Jose
not a real quote
A false 10 role.
Sancho has been great. He seems to be the only one who can run on this pitch. Must be wearing 3 inch studs or something.
Between a downpour at 14 degrees Celsius here (Perth) and cloudy conditions at 31 degrees Celsius in Saitama, I still prefer the latter.
False 6
Get most of these guys off at half time don't need to injuries in these conditions
Dalot is actually such a clever footballer.
Matty Gash
Sancho is having one hell of a pre season
I'm amazed that we're going to countries with terrible rainy weather instead of staying in the English sun.
It's actually strange that anyone would want to live in Australia when it seems to just do nothing but pour down.
What's up with Varane? What injury does he have?
Well, plenty of pressing
Excellent talent, hopefully we are keeping close tabs. Although isn't the other Villa lad, who is refusing to sign a contract, meant to be an even bigger talent?
Totally agreed, I'd say he's been our best player, even though quite a few have had really good games too like Shaw and Sancho
Joking?
WOw that went fast. Felt like Villa are taking it easy on us.
Good 45 minutes from Shaw and Bruno. Rashford has been okay too. Donny, Darlot and Martial have not been so much involved, and Donny look a little lazy at times, where he had chances to press but chose not to.
I refuse to get carried away. Still have vivid memories of LVG tanking Real Madrid in preseason and everyone getting very excited
Been poor. Did play a great pass through the lines for the first goal though. Pitch is a total joke so not judging anyone today.
its not their summer. Their summer is our winter.
