Does anybody feel disconnected to the present United?
Carrick deserves a starting place, he's been brilliant in keeping control. What a game!
United still needs a solid mid who can control the game and pass forward.
Great 2nd half.
The players who had extended break surely need some extra games.

I was right! Manager did say something to turn it all around!
So still hope for next season?
Subs took their chance there.
Don't touch your willy on TV, Marouane.
Pretty much spot on except Tony V deserves a mention.
Say what you will but Michael Carrick is going to be sorely missed when he retires.
Interesting the the spaces where created with Rashford using his pace to stretch the back four and with Rooney first and then Mata dropping deeper and trying to pick out runners with their passes. It was very promising but i suspect it's quite the opposite to what our presumed starting xi is working on with Rooney trying to stay close to Ibrahimovic and Mkhitaryan also moving inwards in order to link up with the big man.
Happy for the second half but also plenty for Mourinho to think about...

Rashford should be a starter.
Kind of expected since Depay had a complete summer off. Martial was just playing his first preseason game.
That second half was as promising as the first half was disappointing.
The idea that our starting line-up was close to our best team might need some reconsideration.

Mata, jesse, rashford, Tony and Carrick have very good understanding especially when we have the ball
I think @Twigginater mentioned something along these lines. Maybe the two of you can share a beer and talk about the good old times.
You would think Jose will want them starting Wayne's match and then bring on the ones who have had the most minutes up to now.
Pisstake on Twigginater's thread?
Any reason Basti didn't feature? Off perhaps?
To be clear, this is bullshit, we're going to win the league.
This game gives as many questions as answers, Carrick and Fellaini looked good but how much of that was due to the space Rashford's stretching of the game. I would like to see MS and AH given the same scenario to see how they look.
I know it's early days but I don't think Rooney and Zlatan can play together, occupying the same space, both like to drop deep into pockets and make plays. Mkhi would have looked great in the 2nd half team as that was more reminiscent of his Dortmund team with the quick plays.

Carrick changed the game, very good from him
errr. no.....
Valencia made 2 great cross assists
Memphis looked good
Our passing was crisp and fast
We came out after halftime with real intent
Am I dreaming??

Well, if anyone needs a player behind them, Carrick's a candidate for sure. Except De Gea. Probably.
That's a great team goal.
Great passing. Great movement. Only 1 thing in mind: score a goal.

You can't even give him credit when he was clearly the best player on the pitch?
Feck my life
Think he is going.
The decision to only play a handful of preseason games is genius. We are clearly more than ready to start the league campaign and will most likely get a wild card spot for this years CL because we are too good to not be in it.

Why do you think we won't win the league?
I just loved listening to Paddy
lovely man.
brings back some great memories too.

Exactly
Let's not get too carried away with anyone's performance either in terms of criticism or praise. It was a good workout is what it was.Very entertaining second half. Good outings from Rashford, Lingard, Mata, Fellaini, Carrick, well done.
Hopefully this rams home the point to Mourinho that we need PACE and MOVEMENT up front to generate offence. I'm really not sure how Ibra will fare in the PL without that attribute. We looked so much more dangerous with Rashford up top, it wasn't funny.

I think everybody could have predicted that. It is like Roonet RVP combo all over again. I like Zlatan but I don't want to see him in a Rooney partnership upfront.
A shame really. He is a terrific player when fit.
People forget we were top of the league after he scored that Watford late winner. Then he got crocked and it all went to shit.
Djordjic is insane,so good,his head movements while hyping up his words hahaha epic
Well, Martial wasted his time with the national team. He should've spent it resting and not training and he would similarly good.
