Whoa! Martial! Unreal.
Fellaini and Perriera have been quite tidy, Martial was anonymous until that goal. Great play.
Not a thrilling performance but it's been OK, playing in those conditions it's never going to be a swashbuckling game.

Great play by Martial. This match would have been better at night. Lucas Vázquez played a very good first season, he was a good solution sometimes, but lately all his decisions in the pitch look wrong, a bit like Deulofeu in the under21.
United look solid but I would sign a midfielder.

That was quality. Got lucky with a bounce but what followed that was brilliant! Stunning quick feet.
Looked like Fellaini was going a Phil Jones on the ground before passing to Martial.
Craig Burley. I'm not one to moan about commentators but I can't stand him.
Pardon? Now having an opinion on a players makes me a "fecking bore"
Do us both a favour in that case and ignore my messages, cause to be frank, I haven't been reading yours.
Madrid team seems completely out of fitness, I think Carvajal looks overweight as well, but really nice to see our second string doing well against them.
Still looked like 90% red shirts. Bring on the photoshop.
Gif?
Say what you will, on song, Jones is one of the best around.
Perez is having an all mighty wank rushing down to the United dressing room as we speak, Martial will come out in a white shirt for the second half.
That was superb run. Lucas, Carvajal, Modric all couldn't win the ball.
Hopefully he will get few more mins, we need him match fit for the start of the season.

Martial roasted Modric and Carvajal. That was hilarious.
Which Liverpool have won, which makes them better than us.
I can decide whether Bailly is crazy or insanely good every time he tackles i just have a chuckle
Inter can feck right off.
He had a lot of luck, to be honest.
I know I'm late but wtf Martial, my eyes do not follow.
Great goal! What a move from Martial!
Decent half from us. It is clear though our fitness is a bit better, but Real Madrid have the better team starting no doubt with the first eleven apart from Ramos, Ronaldo and Casimiro that is missing.
Think Jones has looked really good. Lingard good as well the rest been fine, but not great.

Another genius that knows football better than Jose mourinho. I assume you're earning millions a year in a management role

Do us all a favour and stop constantly spouting shit, as per other 10 people who already told you to shut it because you're on a clear agenda.
Just home.....how we playing lads? I don't have the time to look through everything
Seen Martial's run though

Do that more often now Martial. Please.
Martial was awful prior to that magic
Needs to be more consistent and apply himself better.

Fosu-Mensah, Pereira, Bailly having a strong showing... even Fellaini had less errant passes than Modric. Unless Madrid has a bunch of young prodigies I haven't seen coming next half, I have to feel good about our chances this game and our overall progress for the summer.
Martial
Pretty tight half. Game of very few chances and attacking quality.
That said, I do think we've looked solid as a unit. We've pressed very well, and on the whole, we've kept it pretty well.
Just lack that bit of magic. Well, that's what I was saying up until Martial made that superb dribble. Absolutely fantastic. This is what we need more of, because in tight games such as this, that can potentially win you games.
Ideally, we need someone who will do what Martial done a lot more often.

Still in awe of Martial's run. Holy hell! Very good 1st half. Defence excellent. TFM probably MOTM. Great display from him. Pereira and Fellaini have both done well in midfield too
Does Carvajal look a bit chubby or was it just a bad angle I saw of him?
0-1 Lingard

Decent half, kept the Europeans Champions at bay. Pereira our best player in my opinion
Now get Red Rom, Pogs and Mata on, lets show these lot what football is.

He's very good. But he knows it, which leads to cockiness at times.
There was a time when his pocket was picked by Benzema for being too casual. He has all the materials to be great.
True. They battered us the whole game and we scored luckily, against the run of play. If we're lucky we won't concede 5 in the 2nd.
A bit of luck* but he made that by confusing the hell out of the defenders and the last couple of touches to take it away from two defenders was brilliant.
Not true today, he participated in our most dangerous attacks, including one he let the ball to Lingard's shot.
The white United shirts are out in force
I missed most of the first half, but I sat down and not 10 seconds later I watched Martial dance past 5 Madrid players for a great assist on a tap in. Nice, unselfish play!
The ball moves nicely, they are all technically excellent, but once they come close to the box, they feck up most of the time. I am surprised how well they defended before the goal, closing the middle down and forcing us to play from the wing or move the ball backwards/to the other side of the pitch.
We look good considering the team
