2017 Pre Season | Sampdoria vs Manchester United

We're not very spectacular but I like what I see. We're starting to look more balanced on the field than last season. We're turning gradually to a normal Jose team, which what I like.
 
Have to say, matic is making a difference here, pogba is noticeably more involved and further forward. We look much more solid through the middle.
 
Pereira has kept things simple, bit like Matic. Seems like he's trying hard not to overdo things.
 
Who's the fanboi that's co-commentating on MUTV? (Not Paddy Crerand). So far his quips include:

"Hit it"
"Switch it"
"Go on then!"
"Shoot"
"Offside"

Feels like I'm watching with someone with Footballing Tourettes. Kinda annoying.

Did anyone hear David May whispering FAR POST!!!
 
Matic is like a ball magnet, he gets the ball is most duels.
 
Pogba and Pereira been quite poor, Matic growing into this game. Total control. Hrigurghk Micky and fullbacks been our best.
 
Season ticket holder and I can't watch one pre season game free!
 
We are so dangerous from crosses.
 
Starting games allows one to play with stronger team especially as the preseason go on(Pogba is mostly involved in the first half of games) and it also tells which players are starting to get the nod from the manager.

Notice how all senior players have had more than a single start and only academyou players didn't start more than 1 game along with Martial.
Well yeah, but I mean for the first 2 games. Think Rashford started both and Martial played the second halves, and there really wasn't a clear quality difference in the 2 halves. Plus Herrera only had the 2 starts. Wouldn't read all that much into it. Obviously to start with he isn't a starting 11 player and has to work his way into the starting 11, but minutes wise he's obviously had way more then the majority of youngsters and a pretty normal amount.
 
Why? Why is punishment for deliberately committing an infringement to stop a certain goal stupid?
Because a keepers job is to use their hands. If you started giving red cards for that it would be insanely stupid.

You also can't give cards for indirect free kicks. Would have to make it a penalty which is really really harsh.
 
Matic and Lukaku have been brilliant. They're going to turn us into title challengers.
