Manchester United 4:1 Melbourne Defeat (Fri 15th July, 11:05 UK time)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
I hope we give another whooping, this time not letting up chances.
We're trying to sigh some bloke from Barca apparently.
I wasn't so keen on Martinez but it seem Varane is still struggling to keep fit.
Varane's injury record has been appalling since joining us. Real issue there.
I feel like Varane is going to be our new Bailly when we sell Bailly. Either that or they are going to compete for places on the physio bench.
It’s crazy to have six centre backs and NEED to go and purchase another. That’s an epic failure for our previous regime.

Wondered why Varane was such an easy get last summer. Guarantee you, these injury problems are not going to go away. Whoever did his medical needs looking at.
Shame Garner still struggling with the knock he picked up, one of the players I was looking forward to seeing most in pre-season.
ETH says he'll make 11 changes at HT
Win this one and we will win Australian Century Trophies.
Is James Garner injured? He does seem to feature in the squad again.
I know he doesn't have any other options as the club are currently fecking him in the window but that squad and specifically Midfield is unbelievably depressing to have to watch.
Looking very likely we will be starting the premier league with that dynamic duo in midfield.
Great post haha
Don’t feel his chances will increase when/if de Jong and Eriksen join.McFred in midfield and DvB still on the bench. You love to see it
Do we get The Ashes if we win this?
Awesome
On ice? Feckin’ wimp.
Newbie... come on who really is this???
I can't believe they're still announcing the team by shirt number. I wanted to believe in this new era but it's just more of the same.
Whats up with Varane?
Would like to have seen Garnacho start
Totally brainless way of doing it. I read somewhere the new social media team will be starting in September. Good riddance to the old one.

His competition is Bruno, not McFred.
Fred can certainly start games. McTominay I agree with.
Its almost like the people running social media have zero clue.
Never mind the line-up, how big and stupid is the trophy we're going to win? 
I'm happy with the amount of kids on that bench, I hope many of them get a chance today.

Hes made of biscuits and hes no ginger nut.
I thought the one we got the other day was one of those Lego stadium kits.Never mind the line-up, how big and stupid is the trophy we're going to win?

Assuming we get both Martinez and De Jong, they are first choice and we lose Ronaldo, it's looking like this will be our lineup at the start of the season:
Toss up between Fred and McTominay in CM to partner De Jong.
I would still fancy Rashford to play on the left but his position probably isn't so secure if others can step up and Martial may only get that no.9 slot if Ronaldo leaves and we don't get a no.9 to replace him.
Can't read too much into it as it's only pre-season but it looks to me like the writing is on the wall for AWB and I think VDB may struggle for minutes too with Eriksen also coming in.
DDG
Dalot, CB, Martinez, Shaw
De Jong, CM
Sancho, Bruno, LW
Martial
Imagine he'll go with Maguire at CB but if he's fit, but wouldn't be surprised to see Varane start instead of him. I don't think we'll start the season with Lindelof but do think he can find his way into the team if Maguire's form isn't good and Varane is injured.Dalot, CB, Martinez, Shaw
De Jong, CM
Sancho, Bruno, LW
Martial

Not according to many on here mate.
A rich tea!
de Gea was there walking around with the team pre-match, so can't think his knock is too serious. Didn't spot Varane.
Maybe it's time to end this 'McFred' thing. They are on different levels.
So I assume Telles would continue place holding for Martinez till the Argentine arrives.
ETH going for that Games to Trophy ratio of 1.
on a totally different note, i caught a video the other day of Mark Goldbridge trying to actually credit himself with inventing the term "McFred" ..he says he was the first one to use it during a live stream, and it caught on... he was being deadly serious, he said he was getting tired of trying to defend it to people too
Lindelof's English is brilliant!
Trying Rashford CF then second half. Hopefully minutes for Laird, Hannibal and Garnacho too.
