That was our last friendly and we look so under prepared.
Our season is in Woodward's hands.

Preseason Tour Game 6: Bayern v Man Utd (Friendly, Sunday 05 August 19:15 BST)
- Thread starter Damien
- Start date
That's fine. None of us are saying it will be chalk and cheese and we'll win 4-0, but this really didn't matter tonight. If we're shit against Leicester and beyond then moan away.
Very credible source.
You know its possible to play football With mediocre players - but you need a system, they need to know what to do. And after 2 years, Mourinho still hasn't been able to get that into the club. Under Ferguson, you could put more or less any player in any given position and they would do ok. With Mourinho its the opposite.
True. We will be playing free flowing and exciting attacking football the moment the season starts. We are just bluffing right now.
Perfect storm.
Jose fighting the board, the players.
Supporters already fed up.
Injuries, key players without a pre season.
Can only hope we grind out results in the first 4 matches.
Otherwise we will be off the pace immediately.

Yet we've been hitting it long for 2 seasons
"Match fitness" blah blah blah.. you'd think our whole squad just came back from an ACL. You'd think we would be a lot better than Real Madrid's kids... Just you keep doing that mental gymnastic shit rather than seeing what is what.
Yeah?
I don't get why all 3 midfielders were sat right infront of the back 4. The gap between midfield and attack was too much for us to create anything substantial.
feck me, what is this? When did I sign up to MSN messenger again.
A pretty hideous watch all-told. I'm aware of the personnel factors at play, missing some of our big hitters and the few senior players we do have available having their bollocks run off all over the US isn't ideal, but I can't pretend I've seen much tonight to give me confidence for Friday.
I think Sanchez looked sharp in the first half and we defended well for long periods too, but we look well behind in our preparations, more so than any of our rivals that I've seen this preseason (City, Liverpool, Spurs, Chelsea, Arsenal). We'll be looking to scrape through our first few fixtures, let's hope we can but I'd take any United players you may have out of your fantasy team for now.
Also MUTV is an embarrassment, I don't see much of it but is it always this shoddy?

When your boy and big Rom are back we are better equipped for Mourinho’s brand.
Have you heard of a thing called the search function?
Right, the real reason you won't find it is because you made it up. No one is claiming we'll finish midtable.
Agree. Completely.
I've raised similar points in other threads. I wish more of the debate centred around this, because for me it's a head-scratcher.
Fairly dire to watch, but have to say I don't care that much about the friendlies. Seen two which were the two defeats
Different with moyes he got 28 million on fellaini and paid the price
Jose has had 100s of millions and does everything to keep fellaini and ok he won Europa but omg where so dire I'd sooner play better football and loose than just sit there and have a bore draw with no shots
Exactly. Mourinho is really looking outdated
And suddenly we are linked to a defender even worse than the other 3 we have previously been linked With.
We were under the cosh so naturally fell deeper. I doubt it was a direct instruction.
I won't, i will just handsomely what until the next manager.

Okay PMS whatever you say love!
Age jokes. That never.turns well.feck me, what is this? When did I sign up to MSN messenger again.
Maybe we are just bringing him back as a Souvenir from Munich?
We just had 3-4 games in US tour. How many more games you need to get this "match fit" before you can go into a game showing your actual worth?
I hope he will get the full backs and right winger he wants in time.
If that's anything to go by then our womens team will be a better watch this season. We would uncomfortable in possession, devoid of any ideas with the ball. The only thing you say about Mourinho teams is that they keep their shape well defensively but staggers me that we are targeting a CB like we need any more emphasis on defence. Attack Attack Attack, I think well here quite a few times this season at OT.
Who actually takes any notice of pre-season friendlies, most of the time they are dreadful, dire affairs.
Woodys fault for not buying him Arnotovic.
Shocker, you making things up again. If you're gonna claim something, at least have the balls to back it up.
Doesn’t help having so many average players and young overrate players as well. If we can get top 4 with this squad it’s achievement.
Because its a friendly, remember those? You really want them busting their balls with PL game in 5 days?
You can't account for how fecking clueless we look even in simple plays. Those players couldn't hold possession if their lives counted on it. No excuse for that.
Fit, unit, full team, half a team..we are just not very good and we play some of the worst football I have witnessed in over 30 years watching United.
All I know is I guarantee we do not win the league or CL regardless of any further signings we may make before the window shuts.

Don’t think even one poster on here has seriously said we’d finish mid table tbh mate
David May talking sense.
We were under the cosh because we didn't press them enough when they had the ball, when we did the player was too far away and then they could pass between the lines. When they pressed us we surrendered the ball way too easily also.
Tough night for a giflord.In 120min of play we didn't have a single shot on target
