Pre-season friendly Manchester United - Borussia Dortmund
- Thread starter the hea
- Start date
That is a great shot of the stadium where the camera position makes the roof look like a tear-drop!
Although what's with all the fecking Oasis?

You're not making any sense. We beat Barca and Madrid last summer. Were all their players shite then magically transformed?
If so then sure, he was a good player but the player he is now would struggle to make the Everton team.
Just feck off.
It's all about money now, how many things will the players have to do for some sponsor or other this trip, all season in fact. The football gets in the way sometimes.
Playing two Oasis songs at half time, the ultimate insult.
Sack Jose, Sell Pogba
The only positive I can see from our wingers/forwards(Memphis and Lingard) flopping so badly is that it may force Jose's hand and allow us to bring in Mahrez or a forward of similar quality.
Enjoyed the first half, good to see our passing game is much much quicker, you can see aspects of Joses mentality coming through in some periods of play, obviously the two goals are a bit poo but I don't mind that at all.
Jones looks very rough after his injury, he will have to sharpen up immensely, Bailly looks brilliant at the back and pushing for a starting slot next to Smalling. Mhiki having a quiet first half there, not getting the space he had in the first game which is understandable.
What you can see in this game is a typical Jose set up against a team he believes can beat us on the break, when they get the ball its all of us behind the ball waiting for the break or at least "playing with out the ball". I think Mata looks out of place here, as does Lingard we need players with explosive pace and clinical passing in games like this. Memphis passing has been a bit sloppy, but will improve.
All in all probably the game I expected, I had no illusions that we would win this game playing amazing footy, Aubmeyang looks excellent to me really really hope that City don't come in again for him.
So far Shaw looks excellent, showing the injury hasnt effected his burst of pace. Very happy with the starters performances.

Rashford 
Rashford!!
LvG DJ debut … the Mr Wings farewell tour!
We beat Barca 3 - 1 last season, the caveat was that Messi and Neymar didn't feature, that said they had more first team players out there than we do today.
Come on Rashford.
Nah. Valencia lifted his foot as he threw it.
I miss Kagawa. Him playing for us was something i felt could have been more. Sadly he came in at the wrong time when we had the two buffoons in charge, Moyes and Van Gaal just as he was beginning to settle into the team.
Would like to see him back someday, maybe when Rooney and Fellaini goes. Always a fan of fast technical attacking football.
Him and Mkhi would form a quick understanding imo.

Bring on the Rash.
Erm, it's just showing their business and squad. Thought it was interesting. Possibly a question mark over central defence.
rashford, young and rojo on
From this eleven? I'd say Mkhi, Bailly, Shaw, Valencia & maybe Herrera will all have a role if we are to win a PL in the next season. If Pogba is finalised, he'll replace Herrera
Rashford coming on, that's more like it.
Yep. Should be right in the middle.
The meltdown by some on here is beyond funny. It's pre-season, get a grip. I actually forgot we were playing today, that's how much this game matters.He will be when Rooney comes back.
Nice to see us give Young a chance ahead of Januzaj here.
Stream?
Give it rest will you. You want to be ignored, well now you are.
You could argue that Mourinho has subbed off our 3 worst players from that first half.
We've won leagues after poor preseasons in the past.
Results are irrelevant. Even performances aren't as important as the players learning what Mou wants from them. People need to chill a bit.

Definitely not worth three "in love" emoticons.
Some cheer for Rashford there
Not much is going to seem impressive to us after signing Mourinho, Ibrahimovic, Mkhitaryan and potentially Pogba.
Sergio Romero is on. Long time no see.
