Manchester United 4:1 Melbourne Defeat (Fri 15th July, 11:05 UK time)

Was that ETH screaming at Elanga to run down the win?
 
I don’t know how it’s possible but it looks like Maguire’s lost a yard of pace :lol:
 
United's defence act differently when captain success is at the wheel.
 
Would have thought the glory of lifting the Bangkok Centenary Cup would have spurred them on some.

I thought it was Martial but the commentator also said it was Elanga. Either way, they were both jogging and neither made the run.
 
We’ve reverted to the same slow, square football. At least it took a full game under Ten Hag - we only got 30 mins under Rangnick.
 
Also Melbourne playing a back 5 in a friendly, fecking cowards :lol:
 
Just turned on, so all I can surmise is Maguire being back is why we are already losing,
 
In the same way that we shouldn't have got carried away with the liverpool game, lets not go overboard with the reactions here either. First game of pre-season for some of these players. This is EtH's learning curve.. If players aren't good enough, he'll see it.
 
Don't get me wrong I'm no coach but surely anyone with half an idea about football can see that Maguire is nowhere near good enough in the modern game and a fit Bailly, Varane and Martinez would be 100% a better option.

I’ll let him off as he’s basically had 1 new signing so far and that signing has been a back up left back, very obvious he still needs signings, anyone who expecting him to work miracles with these lot have had a reality check at least.
 
Trying to play a high line with 2 of the slowest CB’s on the planet
 
I'd love to say the Australian league is Maguires level. But these lads finished bottom of it and they're utterly outclassing him.
 
My commentary is like 20 seconds out of sync with the image on mutv - anyone else?
 
Maguire already.. If he continues anything like last season EtH will do what many of us have been asking for and drop him.
 
Martial was ball watching and didn't anticipate dalot heading the ball down. These are the things needing to be improved.
 
Where’s the new style of play?
Where’s the high tempo pressing?
This is the same team and same patterns of play as last season, struggling to play out from the back and just playing the ball around between the defence and midfield.
