Not sure. Might have to wait a bit, only finished half an hour ago.

Pearson is an interesting little player.

The centre-halves are not great on the ball, but they're encouraged not to play it long. It means the midfield have to collect it and so can't push up as much as they'd like, but it's good to see that kind of philosophy being instilled. Everyone else very confident in possession.

Wilson is a real handful. Very quick and direct with his running.

So United got beat 2-1 by Shakhtar yesterday, but Wilson got another goal. Good to see some variation from him, too.

I saw some of the 2nd half. Dominated the ball and played some really good football
Fair play to Nicky Butt he's got the U19s playing a diamond formation in midfield which I wouldn't expect from a team coached by Nicky Butt

Because of Keane's long absence through injury I think Wilson looks like the next mostly striker to make it at Utd. Has that extra bit of pace

Wilson looks like a special talent. Hope we can keep him. Is he a United fan?

i saw the main man Pete Bolton there.

Think i managed about 25 minutes in between picking my ticket up and £#%&!ing off on the tram to the pub.

great to see butt try something different tactically. shame our dinosaur #@&%!-end manager can't do the same the boring £#%&!ing bastard.

Wilson looks superb. dunk and I called that £#%&!ing ages ago. #pumpkinsagesandwich

pearson is a lovely footballer.

City beat Bayern 6-0

my brother used to coach him...

Real Sociedad 0-2 Manchester United
Big result for United yesterday. After two successive defeats, went away to Sociedad who were still 100% and topped the group. Wilson getting another and a brilliantly worked second for Joe Rothwell. Highlights suggest we were under the cosh a little

Real Sociedad 9
Shakhtar Donetsk 7
Manchester Utd 6
Bayer Leverkusen 1

For the first team?

I thought we were out of this?

Wilson loves this competition, can't stop scoring. vg2c.

our goalkeeper looks so poor in that highlights. that 'save' around 1:00 min mark in the highlights

Thought that Lindegaard was too old for this?
