Some nice bits of play. Good link up at times. Final pass or shot is lacking.
 
I hope so. He was promising so much last season until that awful injury and my god we missed him.
Yeah. Remember LVG saying that last year was going to be the season of Luke Shaw and it looked like it really was until that awful night. Brilliant to see him back again.
 
We got better and better in that game, it has been frustrating though. Everton have organised their defence well.
 
Enertaining first half. Wish Mata was in for Lindguard. That short pass game suits Juan perfectly and Ibra seems like he enjoys that as well.. Might be a fun pairing from time to time this year.

Shaw looks soooo great!!!
 
Why the feck are Everton sat so deep.

Games like this should be entertaining not a snooze fest at the end of the day it's a charity game and workout nothing more.
 
Enjoyable performance.. Zlatan has been excellent in general play - very impressed. Rooney doing quite well tbh.. everyone was linking up well.

I still think that Rooney and Valencia are our main culprits in making us unthreatening I.e. a dynamic 10 could allow Ibra to focus more up top but their build up play was good.
 
Lukaku is garbage on the ball. Only time he ever keeps hold of it is if he gets a lucky rebound when getting tackled.

That last minute there pretty much sums up why Blind will not be playing CB much under Mourinho.

Also great to see Shaw stampeding everywhere with no fear.
 
Martial is playing like he came back from his holidays two weeks early.
 
We have to sign a player who is good at shooting from distance, and plays in midfield. He'll get planty of chances if we play like that and rivals set so deep.
 
Watching the first game of the preseason, and Zlatan is just amazing! We look generally dominant against Everton and could have had a goal or two. Martial isn't having the best of the games so far.
 
Some great ideas in our attacking play, shame about the execution but it will come with match sharpness.
 
Still too little movement for me; too many players in advanced positions stood looking at the ball carrier. Easy to mark someone stood still.

Not sure I agree with this. Look a lot more lively than under LvG. Lots of interchange of position - Maybe Rooney and Ibra occupy the same space a little too often, but that is something to work on in training i guess.
 
Movement and link up play ia beautiful at times. Need a bit more penetration in behind.

Enter Marcus Rashford.

PS ibrahimovic makes me wet.
 
it's just clever run from a striker between the two, Blind didn't do that bad positioning wise, he's just too short for a great cross and great run, Mike would have cleared it
 
Enertaining first half. Wish Mata was in for Lindguard. That short pass game suits Juan perfectly and Ibra seems like he enjoys that as well.. Might be a fun pairing from time to time this year.

Shaw looks soooo great!!!
:lol:
People really struggle with that one it's Lingard while the goalie is named Lindegaard.
 
Dull first half. Everton with the two best chances. United either shots from distance or very tight angle.
 
Someone tell Koeman that Van Gaal is gone and the result doesn't matter here. He might actually start treating the game as a friendly and stop this overly defensive style - he's killing the game as a spectacle.
 
I want to see Rashford come on and have 45 minutes as a right winger.
 
Decent viewing so far, against a deep Everton.

When Ibra gets used to our boys a bit more we'll have some fun.
 
I think we have played quite well but the pace is almost walking pace at times. Its a bit worrying as Mourinho said to treat this like a Prem match.:nervous:
 
It did feel like we were up against a brick wall. We build up the play well but we just can't get through them at the back.
