I know it was only a friendly, and I know it wasn't our first team, BUT..that's the end of my comment.

It was stranger first half tbh, long balls over the top for Mata. Not having a go its is a lot more respectable that long diagonals to Fellaini/Ibra/Lukaku/Pogbas head back post from just inside half way line cause atleast you gta time your runs etc and usually be a lot more accurate with the pass than a floated/lofted high ball for a giant to knock down.

But Mata? Made me laugh, hes too slow to hold his run etc or get back and go again and if hes matched by a defender hes gna be caught. Didnt make sense.

Positive for Utd they got some athletes in their youth team big strong and rubber dingy rapid m8. It was like a defending routine for Utd though, Grant pulled off a nice save first half and that header off the line was great. Brilliant fk from Perreira who moans more than Sanchez btw.

I think its Jose's demeanour and negative outlook thats the biggest concern tbh. Whatever is motive, whether it is to put pressure on teh board to invest even more, or that he is just a miserable caaaant, the negative vibe from him can only do harm and reflect on his squad surely?!

rubber dingy rapid m8

that takes me back

Pretty sure it was far more than that

The 'style of play' is down to the (lack of) ability, quality and character of the players and it has been that way since SAFs last season (the title was a fluke).

United have just spent the last decade with no shape, no complete spine, no character and a distinct absence of even average players in key positions.

Over the last ten years I have seen real garbage like

Cleverley, Fabio, Herrera, Januzaj, Lingard, Rafael, Rashford, Rojo, Welbeck given 4 to 10 times more games than they would have got at this club 15-20 seasons ago. And perhaps worst of all the fans eulogise(d) them.

Nobody but Sanchez and Mata on that team tonight deserve to ever wear a United shirt, but rest assured many of them will again.

Direction has gone. Ordinary is the new United norm.

The highlight of your season already. We all know it won't be lifting any significant silverware.

If Mourinho handles the current Chelsea squad, they'll play same horrendous football. Is the Manager mentality and nothing much. If Drinkwater can string passes with Jorginho today, then Sarri must be doing something right in just 2weeks.

What’s that got to do with you?

Starting to sound like Everton fans.

Liverpool's starting line up cost more than 50x what ours cost yet they could only score 4x as many goals as us. Just goes to show that chequebook managers don't succeed

Free kick apart you were COMPLETELY controlled.

Liverpool’s season has peaked too soon.

Yeah Arsenal completely controlled PSG earlier 5-1. I bet they are crapping it.

Liverpool don't control anything against our first 11. We control them and handle them with ease. Didn't even score against us last year FFS. Bailly put one in for you. Season before only a penalty.

Python knows!

Scored 4 tonight though didn't we.

Bless their fans. They've been through a lot with that turgid football and hideously miserable manager.

The stock you put in pre season really comes down to how happy you've been with your summer transfers

Spurs fans have been miserable about this summer, so other than one sandy article our 4-1 win against roma barely got a mention

Liverpool have done a lot of good business so there's already that feel good vibe around the team, so when you win in pre season you're gonna get even more excited
