Manchester United vs Rayo Vallecano (Sun 31st July, 16:00 UK time) | Happy King (Bebe) Day
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Amad can't even get on the bench yesterday and doesn't even get a start over Chong today. His chances of being a squad player this season are slim by the looks of things.
Edit: maybe he's the player the press were alluding to that was due to play more in pre season but was dropped due to time keeping issues.

It's Hansen-Aarøen, these guys can't even get the names right.
Decent team… surprised he chose Varane has captain but good choice. Excited to see martinez play and garnacho.
Heaton
Laird --- Varane -- Martinez -- Telles
Donny --- Garner
Chong --- Eriksen --- Garnacho
Ronaldo
Chong getting selected is the only one that bothers me a bit. He seems completely ineffective, so why not Amad?Laird --- Varane -- Martinez -- Telles
Donny --- Garner
Chong --- Eriksen --- Garnacho

Yeah I'm surprised as well. He didn't play yesterday at all.
Interested to see how Garner does in a holding role.
Will ETH see something or will it be another loan for him.

I am curious. It could be a number of things. Could simply be Chong has made a better first impression. Could be he's physically more ready. Could be the intention is to loan Diallo out. Could be Chong picked up ETH's instructions quicker (he is Dutch, after all). It could be Diallo is shite. Who knows.
Chong over Amad is a joke, its blatantly obvious that Chong won't make it here, why is he getting a start ahead of Amad?
Looks like it. Quite a shame. Always a risk with managers who are very particular about what they want.
He looked painfully average when he did get his chances (couple of times during the friendlies?)
Amad never even got a proper chance.
Varane Captain, respect.
Yeah, but it’s only like ten quid for a whole year.
Excited to see Garnacho and Lisandro, shame DvB is getting minutes over Zidane, oh well, it is what it is.
Where is Cantona though? What was all the “King” talk all about? Come on…

That's nice of us to play vdb and start with ten men.....
Or they’re just not very good. Being a skilful footballer doesn’t mean you’re good at the tactical side, intelligent on and off the ball and coachable.
On paper both of their technical abilities would have seen them be great fits for ETH style - the fact they’re not getting into his side suggests they’re just not up to it at the moment.
My head canon is that Chong is being given time to change ETH's mind on him and show him something as he's coming to an age where he should be sold if he doesnt have a future here.
Falcao!
To be fair Chong had a very good spell playing at Birmingham and seems to have something about him! At his age though he really does need to have a stormer today!
Oh stop with VDB moaning, ETH rates him much more than "know it all" Cafters on here.
I think he's put in the shopping window.
I am Dutch and also an Ajax supporter and I can't understand his selection. Would have loved to see either Savage or Iqbal
Might be. Might not be. I've heard from Ajax fans that ETH is quite stubborn at times in regards to his XI, and often wont give some young players the chance even if they impress a lot. Which is normal, almost every manager has their favourites. But if ETH continues ignoring Garnacho for example, and he leaves and joins another club and rips it up, then it will suck obviously. But I'd rather not imagine scenarios and worry about it, because today's team looks very exciting. I really hope ETH picked Chong over Amad because of some Dutch favoritism, because I really cant see why someone would choose him for footballing reasons. Maybe his physicality or lack thereof?
He'll be the backup RW we're crying out for.
Luke Shaw being dropped again.... who will sign him though. That's the question.
Sorry.
Note to self, must not make jokes. Geko has no sense of humour....
Only if you're not logged in
He can't play right wing
Number is by far the most sensible way of doing it.Poxy club social media and their insistence on their weird number order rather than positional.
Nobody has commented on how good looking any of our players our.
Top Red points deducted.
I’m out

That's weird, I haven't renewed my membership for this season, yet can watch all pre-season games without any issues as long as I'm logged into my account.
Haven't paid anything.
Lisandro is sexeh
Well, that's a matter of opinion really. Bit like vdb being shite.
Yep I was only partly joking but getting him match fit is hardly the worst thing in the universe. Think I'd rely on a match fit VdB more than a match fit Iqbal.
Pretty exciting team.
Chong over Amad is frankly baffling. Chong has no future whatsoever at this club
When did you make that decision, have you told Chong?
You’re worrying about nothing in reality
To be fair, Amad has been pretty shite this pre-season and is nowhere near ready for this level.
