Sounds like last chance saloon for a few players.
I didn’t say it was supposed to be an easy game for who
I'm surprised a team containing quality players such as Martial, Scott McTominay, Donny van Beek and Johnny Evans lost to Burnley
Burnley forum suggests that Henderson and Maguire also started
edit;
Henderson
Jurado - Evans - Maguire - Fernandez
Hannibal - McTominay - Donny
Pellistri - Martial - Hansen-Aarøen

The sooner this takeover happens the better so the proper clear out can happen, there also has to be real scrutiny with how future recruitment is made because some of these players are no were near good enough.
It doesn’t, it just supplies the moaners with more to moan about. Feckin Sadcaf this place, just a massive group of people who want to find things to complain about.
Good to see the squad players get a run out, some of them had no preseason so need it.
Casemiro should have started because preseason training seems to have had no effect on him.
Onana
AWB - Varane - Martinez - Shaw
Casemiro
Mount - Bruno
Antony - Rashford - Garnacho
Martial - Højlund - Sancho
Mainoo - McTominay - Eriksen
Malacia - Maguire - Lindelof - Dalot
Heaton

The bench would rip apart the pretenders in the first XI
If we start a midfield of McTominay, Hannibal and VDB in the PL with Evans behind them, I would expect us to lose most games as well.
Pure comedy
Not a great idea to play players when they are injured
Henderson
Williams Evans Maguire Fernandes
Mctominay VDB Hannibal
Pellistri Martial ?
Only the left winger was unknown from the lineup

Evans and Maguire as a partnership? Kompany must be furious Burnley only scored 3.
Some as in just Martial ?
Atleast 10 of the first 11 featured heavily during our pre-season games.

So you are telling me the likes of Donny, McTom, Martial are not good enough!?
I am shocked.
I am shocked.
with an out of position CDM in front of them too, stellar squad managementBecause you have to get with the media drums banging on about United, ETH has to go ……… job on the line…….doesn't know what he is doing train.
So basically just the frontline.
What other result was it possible to expect with this team?
Seeing as that team is basically our first reserve for every starter - and Burnley presumably didn't play their first team - I would say it was possible to expect a result better than a three nil defeat.
What was the Burnley line up ?
Williams played in place of Jurado
Is this like a top boxer getting floored when in training for a big fight?
What sort of team did Burnley put out...was it second string as well?

I wouldn't worry too much about the score or the stats. United will be relying on some of these players and getting their fitness right is all that matters here.
No, it wasn’t. Majority of this team is simply shit and shouldn’t be part of the squad anyway.
A lot of the players mentioned regularly get mentioned to be leaving soon, so they are not all our 1st reserve players
Henderson
Jurado
Fernandez
Pelistri
Donny
Maguire
All these players are likely leaving or are on the chopping block
I wouldn't be so sure. They aren't playing again until Sunday and they didn't play last round.
It's not though. Heaton are back up GK's, Malacia and Dalot are back up full backs, Lindelof is back up CB, Eriksen and Mainoo back up midfielders, Sancho, Garnacho, Amad are the back up forwards.
That's 9 positions for players that aren't the starting 11, that will play before any of the players that played against Burnley.

This won’t be blown out of proportion I’m sure.
Since Martial started I guess that means he's not going to be starting against Forest then
No Rasmus then
I'm guessing this is also ETH not to subtly telling the club yhat his bench is rubbish
Butland is the starting keeper for Rangers, his loan here ended last season.
asking the important questions
Only three of them get into our second 11.
Maguire, McTominay and Martial. Maybe Henderson if he ends up staying.
