I reckon we could get a decent fee for Jones, with the influx of money in the PL and him being English and all, also I don't think he is on outrageous wages.
Pre-season friendly Manchester United - Borussia Dortmund
- Thread starter the hea
- Start date
Not impressed by either team tbh. 2 goals, but both from mistakes/set pieces. Other than that, not much going on.
The pitch is clearly terrible, Mata just mis-controlled a pass. Madness.

Can't they just stop the clock for the refreshment break FFS!
I'd say he looks exactly like a professional footballer.
Jose should seriously consider buying a RW.
Pros: Herrera, Shaw, Bailly
Cons: Depay, Jones
Cons: Depay, Jones
We started badly and have got worse. None of them look like they've seen a football before.
Bailly and Shaw our best performers so far.
I remember United fans were on a real high after the first pre season because we played some fantastic stuff as well then we played Swansea (was it?) on the first real game of the season and lost 1-0 (was it?), it was definitely a feeling of balloon burst.
That should have been an easy control for mata.
Well Memphis scares the life out of me DT!
We had 2 great pre-season results under Van Gaal and look how that worked out for us..
As he said, it really is only pre-season. Winning or losing means nothing in these games.
Not looking good for Memphis, think he will be sold, not jose's cup of cha!!
Lots of good lessons for Jose.
Valencia struggles with the basics of defending and positioning. Blind is nowhere near Carrick. Herrera is useless in a midfield two. Depay is useless up front. Jones is useless, period.

It's not a myth, otherwise we would've won the fecking league twice over under LvG.
Jesus Christ, you're ridiculous.
Getting totally outplayed by the better side... not surprising.. just disappointing.
The scoreline isnt the problem.. we have showed nothing. Same pointless play hoping for something to magically happen

Jones fans will ignore it like they always do.
Memphis, Mata and Lingard has been piss poor.
It hurts me watching Memphis run.
Edit: Trying to run.

Who knew it would be a Dortmund fanWho mentioned that some would be losing their shit? You were right.
Agent Jose.
This thread Dortmund are ahead of us in terms of their preparation and the simple fact is they are a better side than us anyway.

Seeing some nonsense in here, talking about how big of a job Jose's got on his hands, most of our best players aren't even on the tour and some of the ones that are on tour aren't even playing, Dortmund have 3 games on us in terms of match fitness and we're not even playing a proper midfield, it's pre-season it means nothing.
They have a better team and are ahead in their preparations. Obviously more match fit. They have played 3 more games. What did people expect?
I don't care if it's only pre season, it's not like he's shit because he's knackered. He's invisible. His passing is shit. His creativity and intelligence is terrible. He can't do it in important games and he can't do it in pre season.
Just waiting for one of the resident experts to chime in that we need to buy another player or two based on our first pre-season friendly.
Well yes, but that isn't who he should be scaring.
Ander is braindead
I seem to remember under Fergie the worse we did in preseason the better we did during the actual season.
At the end of the day this is a make shift team in a friendly in the heat and humidity of China. The result is not important. I would like to see us look a bit more dangerous but it is what it is.
Hoping to see Rashford in the second half see if he can give more of a cutting edge that Memphis.

Feel for those who woke up early to watch this. we look like we're playing in a sauna
I'm just not a jolly fellow like you who accepts mediocrity.

That prick ruined at least 4 HD streams I've been watching. Now I'm watching in SD, and it's disgusting!
You got it!
If it's a myth than why were be battering Barca in a friendly last year? Friendlies are irrelevant.
We can excuse players since its a friendly but some players just lack basic skills and understanding of the game. Jones and Memphis are just crap so they're excused but the likes of Herrera, Mata and Lingard annoy the hell out of me with their cowardly approach.
I dread to think what some people on here will be like when we lose the first meaningful game.this thread.

He is so obnoxious.
Feck sake Paddy sort your mic out.
How is that a good thing?
