Young's putting in some good crosses

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

I wanna see Ibe given a chance against Jones.

How a bad were Real Madrid or did Man Utd play a lot better then?

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Coutinho's dribbling <3

Edit: First time I've watched Herrera, excellent foul on him.

A lot better, but Real Madrid had players in unusual positions too.

 

[Purdy]

Shoves in the back are allowed it seems

 

[Purdy]

Raheem really needs to get a better shot with more height or direction or bloody pass in those situations

 

[Rofflay]

Prawn sandwich time!

 

[Robbo]

Defence have been rubbish, so has Fletcher, so has Hernandez.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Decent half for a friendly. United playing the better football but we look more dangerous.

Sterling, Sakho and Coutinho the best players for us. The two fullbacks have probably been the worst and and Lambert might as well not have been on the pitch again. Getting slightly concerned he'll be a starter considering the amount of preseason he's played.

Would love to see Coutinho on the left, Sterling through the middle and Ibe down the right in the second half.

That's probably going to be the story of your season? I thought you'd buy at least one experienced centre back with Vidic and Ferdinand leaving.

You've already looked ten times more purposeful going forward than all of Moyes matches combined though.

We will buy a CB or two, just haven't yet.

Steven Taylor is out of contract soon...

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Kolo Toure will be available on a free.

 

[Purdy]

Huh, seems Skrtel isn't allowed to push in the back

 

[Robbo]

Cleverley on. Beast.

 

[Purdy]

Lambert

Not the easiest pass to take either I guess though.

 

[Shamikebab]

Cleverley comes on and suddenly Herrera can't pass. Coincidence?

 

[Purdy]

Herrera is getting absolutely caned off the ball.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Coutinho > Sterling is magical.
