Anyone know if any legit foreign website are streaming this for free?
Good for the youngsters!
What else than fitness could we possibly gain from a pre season match? Bragging rights?
I suppose maybe you're thinking that it would be good to have our best players test themselves against the best team in the world? There's a match against Barca coming up a couple days after this one. Pogba and Rom etc can start that one.
Why do you want it to be legit?
Is it not streamed live on Youtube?

I know, I just hoped to see some kind of useful tactics being applied to tonights game that we can take forward. It could still happen but I'm just imagining Carrick/Fellaini together which shouldn't ever really happen. It doesn't give players with so many question marks over them (Perreira/Martial) a great chance of impressing imo.
Hope this isn't one of those games where we set up not to concede rather than playing on the front foot. There's no point in playing the kids if you're going to tell them not to get out their own half. Hopefully Periera and co are allowed to express themselves on the pitch.
It's a friendly. The manager won't give a feck about the result. No way we'll be really defensive. We might in the super cup.
We're playing TFM and Tuanzebe. I'd imagine the setup will be relatively defensive, if only to give the kids a learning experience.
Better picture.
Finally a preseason game I can watch.
That's never a bad thing.Thanks mate. Will check it out. To bad it's in the xxx district....
Well what's you gonna do
Heading to the stadium in a bit. Mostly United fans as far as I see out here!
Wait until Marca get their hands on it.
I'm hoping for a good game and not many worries about the lineup. Just put the best out there so we don't get embarrassed.
The Real Madrid photoshopping guru's will soon change that.
Same here on the train down from Oakland.
Hope for the opposite.
Me too pls
Like last time, although Marca tried to suggest otherwise
It's even funnier because it's true
Being competitive is one thing, wanting to win a friendly at all costs is crazy. Just do a Guardiola, start a youngster (Mitchell) and if he peforms alright say he was amazing, proud to have seen him, etc.
So that I don't pass out from hunger, we're waiting to get seated at an IHOP before heading over.
Seeing too many Real shirts for my liking. Probably glory hunting cnuts
2 hours to go
Looking forward to watching this, despite the line-up we're likely to put out.

Atleast Marca won't have to Photoshop this time.

I am looking forward more due to the likely lineups.
Watching youngsters tested is one of the best parts of pre season.
Smash the cnuts

Well yeah, also true
Might be a mismatch though, if Marca's predicted RM line-up posted in this thread is true.
Didn't watch it, in which formation did we play vs City?
I think Rashford might start, he only had 62' the other night, contrary to Mata who should still be injured.
Could be A.Pereira #10 and Mitchell on the right, though.
For those expecting 3 at the back: "We played with two back fours and two goalkeepers. Against Real Madrid we will do the same.”
There are people who only have chance to see big players in real life for a little long... Better just keep thing balanced & respect the fans a bit, I think?
