Needed assistance walking off, not wanting to put pressure on the knee / ankle. Was walking around the sideline unassisted a bit later, but the right call was to take him out.
Manchester United vs Real Madrid (Thu 27th July, 01:30 UK time)

Rashford isn’t a striker. Would rather see Sancho there than him.
I dont see a £114m player in Bellingham.
I think he's more of a Barca fan, but he's a La Liga fan so anytime he can put La Liga over PL he will take the chance.
What? Must be watching a different game
Looked like a rolled ankle. One of those that is painful at the time but will be fine after a few days.
I agree that Rashford is better out wide than centrally, but he can work centrally IMO. Albeit, the set-up we chose tonight isn't going to help him at all.
That entire right-hand side was deplorable. Bruno is just a giant waste on the right and AWB is playing like he's drunk.
Wish we had an actual winger out wide right, but pre-season vibes. Hopefully we play a bit better 2nd half.
Still think we've shown progress in playing out from the back thus far.

Always a dangerous way to play when you have a press resistant master in Modric on the opposition. Saying that, don’t think they have done anything amazing to get out of our press, it’s just been so bad and slow that it’s been easy for them.
If Vinicius is really considered "worlds best winger", standard for wingers is at the bottom.
He's the most awkward player I've ever seen. His control, passes, flicks, dribbling, everything is awkward.
I was hoping he was on the list to go this summer but seems like he's staying.
That ad for the new shirt was pretty cool. I'm somehow liking it.
I swear some of you watch a match with your eyes closed. AWB has been one of our best players so far.
think Johnny Evans wife works for MUTV
Also, Bellingham seems like such a wanker. Shithousing and waving imaginary yellows around in a friendly.
Glad Licha cropped him.

Guess sancho will make a difference coming on second half
Commentary sounds exactly like the ramblings of Joe after he has had one too many Pilsners.
If the schmuck is not worshiping Bellingham, he’s threading racial lines referring to Cama and Aurelien as Modric‘s servants

Shocking.
Is your tv turned off?
Also want Rashford left and Sancho false 9
Nope, it's been that way for a while. He's got no legs to play in midfield. He's always second to every balls even when he has a head start over an opponent. Any good team will have a field day against Eriksen in midfield. The man has no presence there.
We've done ok. Our build play in the first phase has been good. When Madrid have pressed, we've beaten it quite easily. Onana has looked so comfortable on the ball, and as I said, we've played from the back well. Unfortunately, when we get to the last third, we've lacked ideas, and have failed to really threaten in behind, other than one or two occasions. Hopefully we can be better in that regard in the second half.
He was at fault for the goal since he kept Jude onside.
Has been extremely wasteful on the ball and a lot of their most dangerous attacks have come through players running past him with him unaware of it.
If he's been one of our best players, our other players should retire on the spot.
I have no idea how some think he's even been decent, forget one of our best players.
Actually might have been onside via AWB just out of frame.
And if we were in our stride, our midfield/defence might have coped better. We wont play these games with Eriksen in midfield. If we are struggling in an important game, we'll drop Bruno in midfield and match their formation with 2 forward and 4 midfielders.
Pre season is the time to try stuff .. We have complained for years about going against the top sides and just sitting back and hitting on the counter.. It's nice to see us try and play.. We have created chances too. its clearly not good enough yet.. Give it more time... get some better players in and in a season or two, we might be better.
I was just thinking that right now. With Amrabat in place of Eriksen, our midfield would look a bit better.
Onana position was pretty rough on that goal also. Bellingham given easy option to score.
Apart from that he has passed it well and made a decent save, the CBS and him will need more time to get used to each other of course.

That Garnacho chance, he has to be scoring that. Vinicius scores that. That’s the difference between the top players.

If AWB pushed up like the rest of the line did, he would have been off. Pretty poor from him.
1-3 common lads
The question is always "good enough for what".
Our attack obviously isn't yet. We haven't signed anyone, and it was very subpar last year. Our midfield is very good but it's pre season, and also not as good as Madrid's, who have the best group in the world. So again... Is good enough only when it's good enough to be 50/50 in every single position with the very best in the world? Just unrealistic imo.
It's crazy that even though he's playing RW Bruno is the one that saved us from going 0-2 down. Needs to play 8 or 10.
I just want that deal to be done already if the reported fee is true.
Probably best to to turn the Tv off and get some sleep mate.
Vinicius was pretty wasteful a few seasons ago. Garnacho's finishing is actually better than Vini's at a similar stage in their careers.
There was a different angle and it still looks offside.. just.

What sort of injury?
I would say the same to you. You didn't even give a rebuttal.
Was AWB at fault for Bellingham's goal?
Tell me you haven’t watched much football without telling me you haven’t watched much football.
AWB at fault for the goal, but he has been good apart from that error
