Utd can park three busses and Madrid will still win. Juve defence up until last night was the best in Europe and they made a mockery of it. This Madrid attack is lethal.
Play to your strengths
Solid banks of 4 and 5
Pace on the break
It ain't rocket science
Stop the opposition playing as with Ajax
Fantastic discipline in defence is as much part of the game as any other aspect
I think you can accept parking the bus to an extent against madrid.
Not like when we played city though, that was an embarrassment.
Madrid lost to Celta Vigo.
United beat Celta Vigo.
Therefore United > Madrid obviously.
I can see why so many United fans aren't too fussed if we win or not but for me, I really want to us to win this trophy.
Yes, granted it isn't a glamorous trophy like the CL or even the Europa, but it is still a European trophy. And we've only won it once before. I really want us to add to our European tally of trophies won.

Im not sure you can consider Europa in the "European tally" tbh, never mind a super cup.
However it would be great for continuity if we can win another final. Would be 4 in 3 years, hopefully more to add.
Option C - Park the bus and lose 4-0
Don't Europa league winners win this more often than CL winners, or am I imagining things?

Option e- park the bus and somehow fend off one way traffic from real and nick a complete fluke deflection to win 1-0, and Jose hailed as a master tactician. Despite being down to luck.

Of course you can but it is second tier, but it's still pry of the major honours list. A club the size of ours should be moving on from 2nd tier European trophies but which ever level we're playing in we just should go for it. Now that we have completed the set, it's just nice to try to add another Super Cup to our honours list.

It would seem so.
But I also think that they take it more seriously than the CL winners do. Maybe have a 'point' to prove.
Nope, don't like real either but as a neutral I like a competitive game.
LOL, how Mourinho has changed the DNA of UTD . People on here talking about parking the bus and 5 - 4 - 1 formations . You guys need a solid beyatch slap to wake you out of your slumber. Do you see what Mourinho has already done to you after one season? You wouldn't have accepted from Van Gaal when you screamed "attack attack attack" from the stands. This ain't the proud UTD of old. A truly sad revelation.

Two things that will be lost in the passage of time. Both times that we played Bayern, we had a man sent off. This is generally lost in the passage of time as it is the result that is usually all that is quoted. Secondly, if we got beaten by Bayern (handsomely), I wonder what they would have done to you who we beat convincingly?
