VDB and Chong, effectively two men down.
Manchester United vs Rayo Vallecano (Sun 31st July, 16:00 UK time) | Happy King (Bebe) Day
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
I know hes very young, but there's literally nothing I see in Chong. He could play in a second league side and fit in.
Hannibal also needs to bulk up. How is it we have so many skinny guys in the team?
What’s clear as day for me is that ETH has got the first 11 purring with his football. Everyone else looks like they haven’t got the reps in training yet. Tbf, these boys have never played with each other and they look like it. The defensive transitions are a horror show.
Zidane warming up!
Donny's future looks van de Bleak
Absolute wankers aren't they
Yeah it puts to bed the calls to throw the kids into the team when the established players aren't performing. Laird, Garner, Chong, Elanga...theyre nowhere near United quality
One expensive taxi
Donny doesn't have the running power to get back. Done well on the press but as soon as that is broken he is just out of the game.
Iqbal for Donny soon I think?
Oh leave it off, VdB had a good game overall.
True. When you see posters get offended when someone claims that X or Y academy United player isn't even a squad level player potentially for United, you just realize how overrated our academy lads are by some.
There was a forward between him and Bailly and he was covering him.
Garnacho has been the best player on the pitch and outside of positioning for the goal I think Laird has looked lively too, Chong shouldn’t even be playing pre season games for us as he’s awful and will never be good enough.
That little bald dude is pretty good.
your coat and off you go
What'd he do? (just started watching)DvB
A team not used to playing with each other, kids playing, pre season, against la liga opposition.
Don't get the slating of the academy boys. There are first team players out there who aren't good enough. Quite a few of them sadly
He's just one of those who looked class at youth level and hasn't been able to make the step up to the senior game. He's simply nowhere near the standard required.
During our match, really?
glazer cost cutting in the staff canteen.
Load up the shotgun and take Donny around the back of Old Trafford.
Let's be honest they probably have a better midfield than us, like most teams. It's astounding that Eriksen is our only signing for that area right now.
They missed relegation by 4 points. Hardly a La liga fixture there.
I think we need changes. Know it's a friendly but hate them outplaying us.
Well done Heaton there

Donny is just not very good
Whoever scouted him should be sacked

He's not that young
Ciss is bossing it there tbh, can't cope with his physicality
DVB loves making those simple few meters pass and leave the responsibility to someone else.
Garner is pretty mediocre himself. Doesn't do anything in midfield, another one who leaves responsibility to others and only attempt those few yards passes.

It obviously doesn't as Amad, Mejbri and Garnacho have been good. As have Savage and Iqbal when given their opportunities during the tour. Some youth players are going to be good and some aren't, it's not rocket science.
We have a third team selection against their starters. It would be extremely worrying for them if they weren't as good or slightly better.
Garnacho playing less minutes than Chong
No no you’re doing it wrong! Cocks out is only done for transfers!
Had a free kick on the corner of the area. Telles laid it off to the right for DvB to put his laces through it. Currently the ball is somewhere over Mongolia in low earth orbit.
He does what the manager asks him to do. It is a good thing that he had so many chances in that game. He gets into perfect positions and does the job.
Have zero worries with Heaton as back up. He's a damn good keeper.
Plays like he's Van de Baked.
Come on Zidane!
