Rather than hijack the Leeds thread (sorry, Mods)

TEAM:

DDG

AWB
SLAB
LINDA
SHAW

MATIC
BRUNO
DONNY

JAMES
GREENWOOD
MARTIAL

Pogba and The Scottish Player on the bench.

At least somewhat resembles a first team, compared to what we've seen previously. And as the stats show, when Dan James plays, United don't [SIZE="1"]often lose.

Yeah, one or two spots up for grabs, but that’s going to be what faces Leeds next week.

Is this the last friendly?

Covid and the Euros really have £#%&!ed preparation. We'll be going into the season with most of the team only having 2 weeks of training and 1 match.

Yeah. Last one. Basically one game to get the first team up to speed. An absolute joke. Players are gonna be knackered again by Christmas just like last year.

Holy shit. Martial just pressed someone

Oh look, De Gea flapping at a corner and crumpling like a crisp packet

Better keeper than Matic? Possibly…

Peak Pickford

greenwood is one player who has looked ready from the first pre-season game. not the goal, there, so much.... just every touch.

imagine if de gea had started as well as pickford.

Are you sure Pickford is the yardstick you want to use to measure keeper competency? It’s a £#%&!ing low bar

Mason just oozes quality. One of the few things in football to look forward to is his development

slab. 😎

lucky we scored. james getting beaten on his only asset. bottom trumps.

Cracking header that has he finally sussed out attacking headers

awb under the ball and leaving a man free at the back again. still... he'll learn from this.

Eric Ramsay teaching him well.

Bruno, slab and Shaw look like they’ve never been away.

Matic and Donny with some nice crisp passes through the middle too

He was actually marking someone, should he have just left the forward behind Lindelof all on his own?

AWB gets slagged all the time for doing the wrong thing, but he nearly always has multiple men to deal with because his CB or the guy in front of him in midfield isn’t doing what he’s supposed to do.

his job is to cover the wide area, not get dragged into the middle all the time. whether it's him or the others, the coaching is shit and it keeps happening every game. he never looks behind.
