- Thread starter Samid
- Start date

Saw the flights were expensive from Manchester, not too bad from Germany.

United lineup
Let the Jones bashing begin 
Been traveling through Norway on 12-23th of July. Drove from Oslo to Bergen, up to Alesund, and back to Oslo.
Just shocked by Norway’s beauty! No words.
Very sensibly organized society and down to earth people. Now, I see why Norway tops world happiness rankin) Ole fits a Norwegian stereotype in my head perfectly now
I think, Kristiansund trip is perfect addition to pre season tour for both players and manager. I’m happy for Ole. He brought legendary club to small town where he was born and raised.
Players surely (guaranteed!) are going to be stunned and inspired by Norway and have more connection to the gaffer.
P.S. Oslo is fantastic city but, in my view, is least impressing part of Norway. Not because it’s bad. However, When I saw United banner on the last day of my stay (Scandinavian United Supporters office), I was really touched. It made my trip just perfect. Thanks, Norway.
Up to Alesund...pfft
If you have to travel around Norway you go UP to Skarsvag, like a real man!
Hey @Samid , you off to stadium?
Swap one of Matic or McTominay with Pogba and I think that'll be the starting 11 come Chelsea. James has started every pre season game so I can't see him being left out after having so much prep, the CB to partner Lindelof might change but they're all the same quality. Ole likes Lingard.
Even if we sign someone, they won't have trained with us enough by then, so would likely be on the bench only.

+ Lingard + Matic
+ Rashford (depending on his first 10mins)
surely you can't be old
I remember when I was a kid - and there were about 12-14 matches shown live on tv from about november to february. The 2-3 times United were live, I was so excited I was looking forward to it all day.
Seeing Lingard in the starting 11 is giving me shudders he will probably start against Chelsea.
How so? Is this game some sort of indication about how we will pick our true starting XI?
See #164
Dammit, thought this game started now at 6pm, forgot about the hour ahead! Darn it.
This is the type of game Lingard thrives, against 6th tier opponents.
Seems written in the stars that Lingard will score today
Kinell that lineup will smash these

Isn't this game too late for you, grandpa?
Go away Matic!!!!
I will find you...wherever you are..surely you can't be old

Just had 18:00hrs kick off in my head, didn't really check if it is British time, or normal time. Hehe normal
What is wrong with you?? Not the only one
Nah, can't be arsed paying big bucks for a friendly. Much rather take the trip across the pond and catch a couple of the PL games if we somehow start to look good.
Sadly no. I'm driving to Oslo early tomorrow morning.
Jones is playing, and will be best player of the game and will fly to Leicester as part of swap with McGuire. Maguire.
Do I have to take my coat? It is hot in here.

So that's
De Gea
AWB Lindelof Jones Shaw
Matic Mctominay
James Lingard Martial
Rashford
Ole seems to want anyone but Smalling at center back.
I need to be extra careful on the road tomorrow then. Might drop the car just to be on the safer side.
Don't worry, I will pay you a visit.
So it seems Ole has gone with one of the pivots we have yet to see in McTominay and Matic. This means that its likely we'll see a Pogba/Fred partnership in the second half.
Matic and McTominay midfield pairing doesn’t particularly excite!
Considering it's the 2nd last pre-season game before the first game of the season, then yes, it is probably the best indication of the lineup we'll start with vs Chelsea. Pogba looks to be on the bench so we have some relative experience in the 2nd half when the wholesale changes (if there are any) occur.
Wait until Young and Mata come on in the second half
EDIT: Good call, it's started
Didn’t take long, predictable as always
Djordjic taking no prisoners on MUTV. Proper digs at Woody, owners etc.
I die a little everytime I see Jones in the lineup. Especially so close to the start of a new season
I’m interested to see who starts up top, Martial or Rashford. Last time they both started Martial did.
What? You're a nice guy and I'm a nice girl. What could go wrong?
