Exactly. I am liking what I have seen so far. It is also encouraging to hear from Ole that most of these young players will get the chance when the season starts. Hopefully the winning streak continues and we see some good play.
Manchester United vs Inter Milan (Sat 20th July, 12:30 UK time)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
We have a very interesting ‘nearly’ relationship with Inter in the transfer market in recent years.
We were heavily interested in Perisic of course, while they have been strongly linked to Lukaku, Darmian and Martial in recent seasons. None of these moves actually happen though.
Going back a little, there was obviously the Sneijder circus, and the one player who actually made the move in Vidic leaving us for them. Under Fergie there were a few deals both ways but nothing out of the ordinary. Tomorrow’s game could involve several players on each side that both clubs have been known to have made a move for.

It's a friendly
Is this going to be on TV?
So you don't think the way SAF got shot of Ince to them after agreeing the price before even telling the guy for a fee, which was one of the biggest in English football at the time, was anything out of the "ordinary" ? Remember yes he had an ego, but Ince was a fan favourite back then.
First game this season that i get to watch as it will be televised here in the States. ESPN2
Excited to see James, AWB, Gomes, Greenwood, and Chong.

One deal is not out of the ordinary I mean.
MUTV.
Awesome, and kick off is at...?
That's all well and good but for how long can we live off past glory and reputation?
heres the info Mr. Pigeon
Venue: National Stadium, Kallang, Singapore
Tournament: International Champions Cup
Kick off time: 19:30 local, 12:30 UK
Channel: MUTV
United squad:
Goalkeepers: David De Gea, Lee Grant, Joel Pereira, Sergio Romero, Dean Henderson
Defenders: Diogo Dalot, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Eric Bailly, Phil Jones, Victor Lindelof, Marcos Rojo, Chris Smalling, Axel Tuanzebe, Luke Shaw, Ashley Young, Matteo Darmian
Midfielders: Tahith Chong, James Garner, Angel Gomes, Daniel James, Jesse Lingard, Nemanja Matic, Juan Mata, Scott McTominay, Andreas Pereira, Paul Pogba, Fred
Forwards: Mason Greenwood, Romelu Lukaku, Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford
That's my ideal lineup right there. Might switch De Gea out for Romero at 60 since Ole said that he's not entirely back in fitness yet, and let Dalot on the pitch for a few minutes in place of Shaw.
Doubt this will truly be our lineup though as Ole will probably want Fred and Lingard to get some minutes in. Expecting this against Chelsea though!
Fred surely won't come straight in, off the bench probably. As for Lingard, he's should be getting any minutes he gets, off the bench until he manages to do anything positive, at all.
Yeah and you literally said you want to see our starting side get 60 odd minutes now, then named that side.
No doubt. But I think we underestimate the tenacity of United fans abroad. We most fans want to see is exciting football. If we have the (3-5) Spurs v United matches more often I can see us retaining if not expanding or global fan base, even without a manager with blinding white teeth.
I agree that he should be off the bench- but he probably will since he's had a good shot at a starting position for some time and it's only a pre season game.
I’m sure in some games over the season, Ole will change it up to back a 3 for tricky games.
I’d like us to put it into as practice so we can be a bit more diverse as when we experimented it against PSG we were awful in the opening mins.

brutal start time for west coast americans. Oh well. Should be fun anyways.
Wasn't sure where to put this but figured you may want to watch it. Access all areas from the Leeds game. I enjoy stuff like this. F1 has some great behind the scenes stuff the casual fan doesn't get to see and it helps you appreciate the tiny details that go in to match days.
Notice the girl at 11:11 who desperately wanted one of Juans hugs

Oooh good to know! Might get to watch a bit before work.
This is par for course for us folks in Asia and Australiasia for every European match and the occasional EPL match.
hoping for this:
DDG
AWB Lindelöf Tuanzebe Shaw
Fred
McTominay Pogba
James Rashford Gomes
AWB Lindelöf Tuanzebe Shaw
Fred
McTominay Pogba
James Rashford Gomes
I’d quite like to see a diamond formation of -
DDG
AWB Lindelof Tuanzebe Shaw
Fred
McTominay Pogba
Gomes
Rashford Martial
Then a 4-3-3 in the second half with James in the front three.

Anybody going to this knows what time the players will come out for warmups? The ticket says gate opens at 6 presumably to avoid congestion.
They are usually out for warmups like 45mins before the KO.
Where can I watch this? x
MUTV.
Round my place? Xx
The thirst is real.
Total sportek
Team that starts will probably be close to our starting eleven against Chelsea? How many pre season games do we have left?
Three after this.
25th: Spurs
30th: Kristiansund
3rd: AC Milan
Spurs game will probably be the greater indicator.
Looking forward to this, hope to get a clear river 
You'd think Garner has to get 45 mins at some point. Come on twice half way into the second half, would like to see more of him where he can settle into a game.
That being said, with Fred now also joining up he's got even more competition for minutes.

Ahh ok, thanks.
Looks like another year of pogba/Matic midfield then
