Maguire's mistake but the goal was still avoidable. Looks like the left back was outrun by the goalscorer.
Manchester United vs Athletic Bilbao (Sun 6th August, 16:00 UK time)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
we have a bench
No he wasn't, had a pretty decent first half. People just parrot things they are used to about him at this point.
The foul did not lead to anything, and even experienced players can be done by skillful players. He has been good.
Sounds like a typical Malacia game. Fernandez almost costed a penalty. Besides that he has been alright and had some very good moments.
I don't think this was very good. First team looked better yesterday by a considerable maargin.Is it just me or have we generally looked more gelled and a bit sharper when the second string is out this preseason
Sancho looked decent, but he should considering that he cost 70 million pounds and this Bilboa team lost against Celtic.
Not sure our deficiencies as a team can carry Eriksen this season, legs look gone and not the usual passing accuracy
Least he doesn’t cost us a goal every time he’s on the pitch, I’d happy have him as a 4th/5th choice CB. Maguire’s done here, people need to accept it. Unfortunately shifting him on becomes even harder with every appearance he makes.
Can't feel sorry for a guy that will walk away with 200k this week.
Poor guy
If we want to sell Maguire and Van de Beek we need to get them off the pitch, they look awful.
Luke Chadwick looking good, nice to see him involved in the punditry.

I think Donny has looked great this preseason. He has been thriving in that role he has been given. Sancho has also looked class, would like to see them both involved more this season. Fernández is another player who could potentially be given some gametime if he stays at the club.
Maguire has the reverse midas touch where everything he touches ends up as a disaster.
He has been involved but just won't get aggressive. That's the disappointing thing with him. Like he is unwilling to get physical/injured like he is leaving.
Maguire is going nowhere, but can we afford to play him in PL games
I hope it was the last half in the United shirt for Van De Bench and The Captain.
in the first half the first team yesterday was diabolical in my opinion. Night and day compared to our 45 here.
Aside from Sancho and Wan-Bissaka, I hope we don't have to rely on these players from this lineup.
Nah, never
Commentator saying that Maguire was "dispossessed" leading to the goal. How the feck is passing the ball directly to an opponent "being dispossessed"?
That's not what Chadwick said. Mistake. Simpson too
Positives so far are Fernandez, AWB, Gore and Sancho. Beek and Pellistri have had some moments. Eriksen, Maguire and Forson have been disappointing.
He won't play a minute of Premier League football this year unless there is a massive injury crisis.
Harsh as Williams is very quick. I think Heaton should be further off his line though. Still..very poor from Maguire.
Honestly anything I've seen in pre-season has made me think that we're gonna get ran through so, so many times this year and concede a feck ton of goals that way.
On about become the best transition team in the world and yet we're getting done every time we make a mistake.

Fernandez is very good offensively, but needs work on the defensive side, slides in too early. Gore's positioning and passing range is great. Pellistri has impressed again, I want him to be part of the squad, but maybe a loan is better for his development. Sancho looks good again, really hope he can carry on in the games that matter.
Yes, everything he touches turns shit, sadly
Lukaku touch was like prime Ronaldinho in comparisonI think Donnie's biggest issue seems to be timing his runs. Has been caught in or created too many off side positions in the first half. But I like the energy and threat he's showing. Eriksen has been too slow to connect with him though unfortunately.
Yeah why we need Amarabat in, more mobile in there. Think Amarabat comes in Eriksen goes down the pecking order for midfield options. Think we will see Amarabat get more games/minutes then him. Sad the legs are gone, like Eriksen as player.
Just shows that there is a lack of respect for him. He really is a dud.
The actual bench would be better and more mobile than Maguire.
Hannibal for Erikson?
What the feck have they been watching.They must be. Wan Bissaka did absolutely nothing wrong there, but you still see these posts:
I mean, how can anyone watch that passage of play and seriously try to make AWB culpable
Hopefully Jonny Evans on too
Paid Maguire shills????What the feck have they been watching.
Nope, not just you. It's been mostly this way.Is it just me or have we generally looked more gelled and a bit sharper when the second string is out this preseason
Fernandez is a weird player in that he’s brilliant on the ball, but not explosive enough to be a flying touchline fullback nor is he quick enough to be a Shaw type technical progressor that can be relied upon as a third CB. It’s almost like someone should have moved him into midfield years ago but at this point it’s too late.
I’m not sure what his best role is.
