I'd attribute it to the collective coaching team. It's still only pre-season but encouraging signs nonetheless.
Manchester United vs Real Betis (Thu 1st August, 03:00 UK time)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Crazy that Betis finished 7th last year
Amass has been excellent.
Amad lad
Amad is brilliant
Casemiro looking like the 1st season Casemiro.
Keep McTominay
It works for American football because the game is so slow. MLS maybe it’s just more casual.
That was a pen
Nooo Rashyyyy.
Who was that happy member of staff?
You’ve got to be joking.
This referee is blind. That was right in front of him
Dirty cnuts.
This ref is a blind cnut, that's a clear penalty.
Ref is fecking awful
Two.
It's just to even out the earlier dive. Whatever, it's a friendly.
Clearest penalty you’ll see
Big Tony coming on! Take notes, Amad! 
The ref was looking straight at it too
Rashford out for six months or something knowing our injury luck.
Looked a painful one, but doubt it will be an injury. Just sore.
Poor defending
Bad defending again. Set pieces against us are a huge threat. Just can't seem to clear it out.
Shocking defending there
Fish stranded
What an assist!
Shocking marking
look good going forward, but relegation when it comes to defence
Should have been 4-1. Instead 3-2
Not sure about Evans from that goal conceded. Bit of ball watching there.
Will be interesting now. I think this Betis team (with some players not back in training I suppose) looks extremely lightweight in terms of physicality, but now we've thrown the kids on.
No marking, no challenge. The usual shrugs of the shoulder...oh well.
At least our back 5 is missing still
Fish out of water there you might say
Is Fish a common surname in UK or is it as funny for you guys as well?
No complaints on the goal. All four of that back line would not play much or at all this season anyway.
I remember Sir Alex trying to sign a South African CB called Mark Fish but something went wrong and the deal felk through, I think the lad ended up at Bolton.
Is funny to us, too. A few of the older members of the cafe may remember the old Viz comic about a football playing fish called ‘Billy the Fish’ (Billy is short for William, if you didn’t know already). For that reason alone, I hope he makes it.
