That Rondro drill was shamefully bad, although more because the players weren’t even close to trying or paying attention. I remember watching some of those live back in the day with Scholesy. Incredible level back then.

The quality is not there once you go beyond the first 11, but that is true of most sides.

And why I referred to ‘squad’
Yes it’s not too serious,but that in itself is worrying.
Put it another way,imagine them doing that drill with Roy Keane in attendance .

I’d have paid good money to see that

He might struggle, having a bit of a heavy touch.

Uws reported similar ,he just saves his grumpiness for the press .

Anyone notice a lack of hysteria in the press following us beating Real Madrid last night?
Interestingly quiet about it....

Anyhoo Sanchez was excellent apparently which is promising.

Growing story is the non return of Martial from fatherly duties. The kid is done, mark my words, if he's failed to return and it's not just yet another "Jose's in trouble" rumour.

I can't wait for the start of the season now or a signing, anything to break the monotony of the Jose struggling stories. I think he's chuckling inside I really do

Team line up and ratings from sky website, a much more likely set of first team players potentially:
Man Utd: De Gea (6), Darmian (7), Fosu-Mensah (6), Bailly (6), McTominay (6), Shaw (5), Herrera (7), Fred (6), A. Pereira (6), Mata (6), Sanchez (8).

Fred apparently slotted in brilliantly which us promising. Very little time left however to get him and Pogba linking up before the season. Sanchez awarded MOM and looking sharp. Finally some positive news from possibly one of the worst pre season tours they've ever bothered with.

Fred looked good,should make a good difference ,a huge upgrade on Fellaini and Herrera .

While freeing up Pogba so he can be the catalyst behind our attacks

Have to say Sanchez looks like he is in beastmode...if we get a 2015/16 version we will be just fine

Well you did only have 25% possession and completed half the passes that real did so it doesn't sound like Jose is changing his game plan much. Hows that?

What was the result again?

[Ascayman]

Unless ive been reading your thread wrong results havent been the issue.

Anyway it was just a joke given the post i quoted i didnt even see it, you may well have torn them a new one for all i know.

Watched the game. We were excellent in bursts in the first half then sat deep in the second as we tired. No substitutions were made until very late in the second half. 3 5 2 formation. I think we'll be startinghte season with that.

Fred looked good, hes got very fast feet, can beat a man and take the ball under pressure. He is defenitely a good addition to the midfield. Pacy and looks forwards not sideways!

Mata and Sanchez looked to be telepathic in their link up play before Mata tired. Mata was playing off Sanchez in a front 2. Sanchez looked the fking business. If we get some effective pace down the RHS with good crossing capability it'd be a very good addition.
