Some of you will try paint it differently, but that was very poor lads.
So Freddie Flintoff is now in every ad on tv?
What team did Sevilla put out compared to the one that was in montenegro last night?
I feel desperately sorry for Rio, this is not how he would wanted his testimonial.
Kagawa got a better testimonial in Japan
Not quite sure who deserves to play on Sunday based on pre-season.
I've never felt so embarrassed.
The sideline reporter impressed by Januzaj as well it seems 
One of the feckers who scored played the full game last night...
Crap night, but was a bit of an odds and sods line up.
Add in VP, Vidic, Nani, Evra and Rafael, and play Carrick from the start and it starts to look a lot different I think.
Who knows, maybe Rooney might get his head on too!

Sign him from boxing.
I actually think the club let Rio down tonight.
That was just any old pre-season game. Nothing even remotely close to what a testimonial is like.

Yup.
Everyone should criticize the club or else you'll me a member of the feared "top reds".
only a pre-season, Fergie would be talking about fitness now. However, he would be a rotweiller on the first game...so over to you Moyes...
Awful performance and a really shit tribute to Rio. Our defense was shit but not a surprise considering that Rafael, Evra and Vidic didn't feature. Our midfield is really awful though, Cleverley looked a completely clueless player while Ando was surprisingly much better. Kagawa was non existent. Still we must sign someone there. Kongodbia was excellent and would be a valuable addition to our team. I would be delighted even with Fellaini at the moment. On the bright side, Januzaj looked a star in the making.
The season is starting and Moyes needs to do something. The worst pre-season results I have ever seen United having. We looked like last year, playing awful for majority of the matches, but without the winning mentality. A big season is ahead and with the tough start we need some good performances in the beginning or the pressure on the manager will be insane. Still, I am pretty sure that when the real matches begin (from this weekend) everything will be different.

Drama queen.
Piss off.Pre-season has been average, the attacking youngsters have been good.
Rio doesn't even get to address the crowd? Or are BT really that shit?

It wasn't though. There was absolutely no fun or tribute in it. No ex players or anyone Rio would have wanted involved.
Yes the twat with the mic strikes again. Did he seriously ask Rio if he is disappointed with the scoreline?
Ashley Williams: BT get all the big names.
He'll be alright. He probably picked 120,000 pounds this week too.
This broadcast is paid for with all the 50ps BT phoneboxes have taken off when I should've had change.
I think majority of the supporters left before he could even get on the pitch.
that was awkward as feck!The way they played the match the result did mattered. If they had played it how they should play a testimonial, then it would have been fun and a laugh and it wouldn't have mattered at all.
Still dont understand what Williams is doing there.
Bit of a shit tribute wasn't it. The stadium was barely half full, it was a lacklustre performance and there wasn't any testimonial like appearances.
They need to stop attempting to say Januzaj...
feck off Hargreaves
They should be very red-faced about the whole thing.
Couldn't agree with you more. This was a total non-event. Neville's Testimonial was more what I would have expected this to be like.
Add in that Rio's one of the funnest players at the club with celebrity friends and such... guarantee this wasn't his idea of Testimonial at all.
I don't mind that we lost because it's just a meaningless game, but we should have at least had fun honoring Rio in his game. Whoever came up with the plan of using this as a regular preseason game really let Rio down.
That's not a valid excuse; all he had to do was walk onto the pitch with the announcer. Neville, Scholes, Giggs, Ole all addressed the crowd at the end of their testimonials.
The whole thing was as flat as a pancake. Why tell Rio to make it competitive two days before a game at Wembley. It should have been midweek and then they could have enjoyed themselves.
