Manchester United vs Dortmund (Mon 31st July, 02:00 UK time)

Højlund is currently in England.
Atalanta played a pre-season friendly at Bournemouth yesterday (Saturday 29th).
Højlund was an unused sub on the bench.

Presumably, the final deal was concluded while Atalanta were in the UK and his signing took place later on in the day or evening.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s gone up to Manchester today, for a medical, either today or tomorrow.

Expect him to join the squad after they’ve returned from the US.

Are you actually being serious? Yesterday was more than 36 hours ago when this game kicks off. It takes about 7 hours to travel to US. No reason for him to not play.

Rashford needs to start on the left wing, that is all. No more playing our best player out of position would be a very good start.

Yeah if we don't start winning these friendlies we'll be too far behind in the league to make a title push.
 
2am.
That'd take some commitment or some real questions in your life to be watching live from England!
 
Anyone else find it mad we’ve only faced these once in the champions league? Arguably against their greatest side too, including Paul Lambert!

I've returned from holiday today and have taken the Monday off work, so may have a late one and tune in

Fair play.
Friendlies are a tough gig.

I went to my local club's friendly yesterday. Testimonial for one of our legendary players entering a 10th season.
£20.
Woeful game.

As if you won't be still awake and on your 12th pint of brandy as you contemplate the latest "is communism really a bad idea" thread you begin once again on Redcafe (the answer is: yes. It's very bad.) You'll be watching (and posting)

I will be awake at 5am and tuning in to what I expect to be the latest meltdown as Redcafe overreacts to a friendly game. But I won't have watched it.

This is all accurate apart from the brandy
 
Hoping to see:
Rashford Sancho Antony
Bruno Mount
Casemiro
Shaw Martinez Varane Dalot/AWB
Onana

Not long til the season, time to get some rhythm into the team that'll start the season and bigger minutes. Hopefully Amad fine for some minutes too off the bench.
 
See you all at 2 fellow reds. Can’t believe I’m putting in the effort to get up and have a horrible start to the working week but it is what it is!
 
I’m really tempted to set my alarm for this. I’m not in work tommorow so might just do it.
 
I'm on week 2 of my 12 weeks paternity leave so I'll definitely be giving it a watch. Missed half the Madrid game.
 
Screw it, I'm going all-in, lads - 4 AM kick-off for me, but will be watching the match.
Hopefully we'll see our full strength line-up, the one that will be starting in our opening match against Wolves (bar Rasmus), to get a better understanding where this team is in terms of being ready and in synch.

Crazy when you think about it, but fortunately I have a day off tomorrow, otherwise I'd be in bed already. Just need to make sure I don't get too excited during the match and wake the missus up. :D
 
6:30 am kickoff here... not sleeping. This better be good.
 
1:00pm kick off for me. Hoping for a strong team and a good performance bI know it's all about fitness, but it doesn't hurt to build some confidence either.

Expecting Sancho as a false 9 again with Rashford on the left.
 
If I wanted to watch this game, but not illegally, which websites should I avoid??
 
I hope not, but I think it'll be

Onana
AWB - Varane - Martinez - Shaw
Casemiro - Eriksen
Bruno- Mount- Garnacho
Rashford​
 
None watching from Canada/States? It's a cool 9pm kick off here for me. :drool:
