You have to love the Aussie journalists trying repeatedly to get a nice soundbite about how great Australia is from one of them and failing

Ah wow can’t wait for the high-quality, culturally sensitive, piercingly insightful pre match MUFC coverage of this one
Is there any way at all we can get this thread unlimited for newbies? I think match day is meant to be unlimited for new posters after x number of likes (might be wrong on that) but because this isn’t a true match day thread we end up missing out on the live banter and chat..

Fair chance we'll be knackered after all that pressing against Pool and this will be an underwhelming affair. I'm hoping we'll see some nice patterns of play again though.
This, this and this.
I say start with almost the same first XI from first half last game. Chances are that is how we start the season unless we miraculously close the FdJ deal.
De Gea
Laird Bailly Varane Malacia
Zidane Fred
Dvb
Pellistri Martial Sancho
Still 5 pre season games left though, chance to experiment/look at different combinations before the last couple.
Even without De Jong done, I'd say from that XI, Eriksen & Martinez will come in over Mctominay & Lindelof.
I would like to see the same teams from Liverpool's game with the following changes:
1st half, the same except Garner replacing McT
2nd half, the same except Maguire, Hannibal, Garnacho, Shoretire for Telles, DVB, Amad and Elanga

Zidane and Fred is a sweet pairing…from McFred to Zinedine ZeFred…loving it!
IqFred or Fredbal, more like.
How was the cup just a one off game? I'm so confused!A bit anticlimactic but just days after lifting the prestigious Bangkok Century Cup, Man Utd will play their first friendly of the season.
Venue: Melbourne Cricket Ground, Melbourne, Australia
Kick off time: 20:05 local, 11:05 UK
Channel: MUTV
He isn't on tour.
Any chance De Jong starts?
Hope Pellchelskis gets a start.
Hopefully Rashford and Martial can build on the last game. No pressing or start letting up in intensity and get hooked.

Everyone knows GB's bank account. Surprised you have not received the email yet?
Can we arrange for Nani to play half time with them and the other half with us? Just for good ol' times sake.
I think everyone would love to see it.
(and maybe a cheeky bid if we can't get a RW. Also recall Carrick if FdJ's won't go through. I bet they'll do better than whatever we have right now).

Is there anywhere to watch this? I'm strongly against finding illegitimate broadcasts of live football
Hooray another game
Why not just sign up for a manutd.com account. It's free on MUTV.
The game is free to watch live?
Thought I'd drop in here and spice things up a bit so listen up ya whinging poms. This ain't a friendly. Prepare yourselves for a demoralising defeat which leaves a **** stain on your pre-season. First of all I'll go through most of your squad.
De Gea - Only still with you for the money
Wan-Bissaka - Silly name
Varane - Good in the past but now an overrated has been
Lindelof - Nothing special
Maguire - Not sure if he's here but wouldn't even make our team
Shaw - Never met his potential and never will
McTominay - Placeholder until you actually find someone better
Fred - See above
Sancho - One of your only good players and you can't even get him to play well
Fernandes - One season wonder
Rashford - Useless
Martial - Almost as useless
Ronaldo - Too scared of the Victory to even make the trip
Also heard some Dutch fella doesn't want a bar of ya and you are practically tryin' to kidnapp him.
Me and the boys got the BBQ ready to go and drinks on ice ready to celebrate a Victory win.

Reads like a typical United fan post, apart from the bbq bit because everyone knows it’s always raining in Manchester.
All true
This is about the nicest thing that anybody who wasn't trying to wind @golden_blunder up has ever said about Lindelöf on here.
Can't argue with any of that
Victory - a bunch of crocs cloaca's
May the best shit team win
Imagine being called "Victory" and only having 5 victories in a 26 match season.
Get in!
Is Steve Irwin going to the game?
Not sure I see that comparison tbh!
Harsh
He started it.
If your lads outside the stadium are like this MUTV pre match is going to be absolute gold today
Too obvious.
Not sure what's worse, going to see united after a 13 hour shift or going to see victory after a 13 hour shift.
Good idea
You're playing with fire, Kid Bento.
