Great save Onana
De Gea would have made that save better 
Oof, that was a tricky deflection to deal with.
Thanks.
There fans have been very lively. Sure know how to party.My dude getting carried through the crowd
But I thought being a good Sweeper Keeper automatically made you a bad shot stopper?
Forson chasing a man down on the Lens right when he’s meant to be on United right? Interesting.
He would have used his foot to save it. I’ll miss that chaotic fecker.De Gea would have made that save better
Good run from Sancho there
Onana chant
Nice work Sancho
He isn't ahead. Pellistri will start the game tomorrow, that's why he isn't getting in today.
Well done to the team. This was a good test for us.
Good result and good workout.
Next week boys!!
As challenge games goes a satisfying afternoon against what was the 2nd best team in France last season. 1st half no where near as bad as some here was portraying. 2nd half simply more clinical with the chances created and hopefully that clinical nature is repeated for the Wolves game on Monday week.
Poor 1st half, good 2nd half. A lot like last season, wish we can avoid that this season.
Decent result. Time to lose the first acca of the year.
Extremely difficult game but a good warm up. Really needed that win I feel.
Bruno leading by example. Shaking the officials hands. Captain material! All in all a good game. Need to improve a few things by next week though.
Yep. Liked that Lens put in some effort here pre-season or not. We need waking up with the season starting imminently.
We had a bit weaker first half but wouldn't call it poor, we dominated them still and could have scored a few.
Good game in the end. We look extremely sharp off the ball especially.
We look ready. Just need to iron out the cheap possession losses.

2nd half was much better, the shape of the team looked better, our passing looked sharper and our counter pressing was good too. Well taken goals by Rashford and Antony as well. Hope to see more of that next week, but make sure we get it right from the first minute and not at half time.
Sancho was absolutely fine. Antony and Garnacho were just better today. I dont get the hate.
But but everyone at half time was telling me how shit and useless we are……
Solid workout for the lads. Lots of work to do but lots of positives to be seen. This team has a lot of weapons now. Garnacho, Rashford, Antony, Bruno, Mount….Sancho coming off the bench, and we’ve yet to integrate Martial and Hojlund.
Think we’ll get better and better as our new look midfield gets time to gel.

Ugh no thanks.Tomorrow boys!!!
Like turning up for 90 minutes instead of 45. A reoccurring issue
The team is taking shape.
Amrabat?

Nice. Bruno, Casemiro and Garnacho superb! Rashford really good in 2nd half and most importantly look confident. Antony did really well for 2 of the goals which was nice to see. Not expecting to see many of the 1st team tomorrow. Excited for Wolves!
Decent performance, sloppy goal given away thanks to us giving the ball away again but got the win and Rashford, Casemiro and Garnacho all looked like they did last season.
Are we still going to finish 7th as an earlier poster seemed to think?
Agreed. It's so important to take that first chance that comes our way. Lens folded after they conceded one.
It was an ok first half, good second half for me. Some positive signs - but a poor goal to concede from an error that just shouldn’t happen.
Garnacho was great and makes us deadly on the counter - first two goals was a sign of that.
First half was Lens defending a bit deep - and I felt we struggled against it. Need to do better in that area

They are good team and agree a good competitive game is what we needed.
Don't think he is, we just have to play a semi competent team vs Bilbao
I hope so. I think it's too early to ask Casemiro to play this many minutes when his sharpness level is not yet optimal.
