Seattle Sounders vs Manchester United - Pre-season Friendly

Owen clears it off the line I think, another great corner.
 
great saves but his distribution has gotten him in trouble.

Wasn't the bad kick leading up to the double chance the only time he gave the ball away? Haven't seen anything wrong with his distribution so far really.
 
HT. Very good game. Seattle started well but we finished the stronger. Ando's done well, Lindegaard was impressive and Young has been dangerous. Very good atmosphere.
 
"Manchester United leading one-nil due to the goal by Michael Owen, assist coming from Patrice Evra, and also, Ashley Young"
 
When has Berbatov ever been noted for his positioning? If anything it's one of the weakest parts of his game.

Sir Alex on Berbatov:

“You know it’s interesting – maybe what they’re saying is he’s not sprinting full out 40 yards all the time all over the place in the way, say, Rooney does or Tevez does. I can understand people saying that because he’s a very economical player. He’s like Teddy Sheringham in that way. He drifts into spaces, his movement is off the ball but, when you actually do the statistics, he is as high as anyone in the team….. his pace is very good, he’s got wonderful balance, and he’s got great vision.”
 
Most of Young's ball retention has been very good and predictably his corners have us looking very dangerous
 
Really impressed with Macheda so far in both games. Hope he gets some first team action this year.
 
Only managed to catch it from 20 mins onward but I'm impressed with Lindegaard, Anderson and Young. Young reminds me of Nani in a lot of ways. Anderson looks to have been told to dictate the game and all the players, even Giggs, give him the ball if they can. Hopefully Fergie has got him down for a big role this season.
 
HT analysis, Paddy Crenard Watch

1) mistakes Freiberg for being a Noggie, was corrected and told he was Swedish, Paddys response "ah sure they're all the same." Racist...
2) Calls Nani tough
3) Terrible jokes with regards to Freidels family egg farm as a kid. If I were Paddy i'd have egg on my face with those attempts.I'll get my coat....

Seriously though it is an enjoyable game. Pitch is shit though.
