I would be very surprised if Blackett is not sold in the next coming days.Might as well include McNair while we're at it.
1-0 Olosunde
Great goal by "OnASunday" 
Serious post now, does anyone know who is commentating on this game?
1-0 Olosunde
David Stowell and Andy Ritchie.
HT: 1-0
A bit unfair to Oldham that we have a senior player playing down in Axel Tuanzebe.

Cue in the Mitchell has an attitude problem like Januzaj and Pereira rumours after this Kenny sub!
Poor awareness by El-Fitouri there.1-1 Oldham.
1-1
Much better from United this second half.
Riley is such an engine.
Mitchell must have done a Zaha with Joyce's daughter
Goss should've gave that to Demi, captain's privilege and all that though
I've seen Goss hit a good free kick!

Honestly had enough of Jose now. We've gone from the best team in Europe to 2nd rates in Manchester and Lancashire in just a few years.
Only caught the last half hour but this season doesn't look too exciting. The attacking talent is well below good enough.
People not happy with Mitchell's penalty on twitter..
Please be joking.
How so? McTominay looks like he is going to be our starting striker and he is nowhere near good enough. Sadiq has been a regular in pre-season and he is beyond rubbish. Weir was good last season and a pretty good player but as the star man in the front 3? Not a chance. I like Redmond but really he is just decent and I think Willock is a nice technical player but he is hardly great either. We still don't have a striker and we look set for another season of playing a number of defenders further up the field. We also lack any good wingers bar Demi who is playing up top anyway and even then hardly gets to play.
Gribbin, Demi, and Kehinde are all exciting but it doesn't even look like they will be getting to play that much. If the 3 of them are starting every match then by all means I'll be excited but it looks much more likely they will be sitting on the bench for shite like Sadiq and McTominay. I also don't see anyone there that will be able to carry the team like Adnan, Wilson, or Andreas in important moments. Gribbin has the potential but he even has a long way to go.
Same thoughts, but I think this was imposed by LVG.
If I remember correctly, they've been playing a 4231 formation this pre-season, up until this game obviously. So should be interesting regardless. Our midfielders are arguably better set for a 433 anyway, so we'll see. Especially if Pogba joins.
A shame i had no time to watch the match and that we have lost is another blow.
Sometimes i would really like to know why coaches are making such stupid line-ups.Defence aside, the bench looks more exciting than the XI
I'm pretty sure we will loan out Weir so Demi will come in the picture.There will be plenty of game times for Kehinde and Gribbin and even Dearnley when the injuries inevitably make its comeback (though I don't like Kehinde at wing or AM.Should play deeper).
You're drawing all these conclusions from very little evidence. You've seen enough U21 seasons to know the team never ends up much like you thought it would after a month or two. Key players suddenly advance to the first team. U18s step up and become unexpectedly important straight away. Players who everyone thought were space-fillers emerge as stars, and potential stars fade into the background. Signings are made out of nowhere. Sides that you thought would cruise all season go on horrible runs. Sides that were meant to be low on talent click, rack up a load of wins and goals, and all get hyped to hell.
Plus there's way too much first-team thinking going on there. Yes, el-Fitouri is crap, I can see that as clearly as anyone else. But this is just a 'development squad', to nick City's term. We don't need to have talented players spread across all the positions, we just need to have talented players. If we end up not having enough quality attackers, who cares, there's still an embarrassment of riches in defence like I haven't seen come through for years. El Fitouri isn't there to become a United player, he's there so we can put out 11 players regularly and thus continue the development of Williams, Riley, Tuanzebe, TFM, Goss etc.
Happy to see Sean Goss back
