We have too many players... 2 completely different 11's and still no game time for Grant, Joel Pereira, Jones, Rojo, Darmian, Fred (not there yet), Gomes and Garner. Granted decent amount of youngsters, but it's still a lot to spread time between. Especially with 3 of those being older defenders who are just extra players in the squad for no reason IMO, especially with us trying to sign Maguire.

Anyway, looking forward to the game. Hopefully Gomes gets a good amount of time too, maybe itll be split in 30's between the youngsters so they all get a chance.

When was that then? Have you a specific season in mind where did't bugger off to the other side of the world for pre-season friendlies? Because I can't remember one (not without extensive googling anyway).

I can't wait to watch the team again. Logic tells me that we're shit and we're gonna have a terrible season but logic doesn't really belong in the life of a football fan. Thank feck.
 
It was some good months of rest from United and Premier League. I am totally ready for a new season of moaning about the crap football and terrible player performance. Bring it on!
 
Got my tickets, don’t care who plays, 9 years since I last watched United play live. Cannot wait :devil:
 
Hope Ole uses this tour to experiment with the team and give the young guns time on the pitch
 
We've been doing these sort of tours for at least the last 15 years, probably longer. Weird thing to be nostalgic about.
At least the last 25 years. Remember in 1995/6 playing Selangor in Malaysia?
 
Does MUTV offer a VOD replay of the game?

It's like 6:00 AM my time for the game. Would love to watch it when I wake up.

remember when Fergie refused to play "competitions" after scholes got sent off and was banned for start of season?

this is the first season that I am not looking forward to... after 50+ years supporting the club. can't help feeling we will be out of the running by September!

Irrespective of lineups, no Chuckle Brothers or Young instantly makes the team look so much better. That backline looks so promising with a hopefully more mature Dalot and Bailly as backup. Can't wait for the game tomorrow.
 
I'm really looking forward to this. We might not be in the best state, but we're at least going to see more of what we want to see in terms of attacking football, playing on the front foot and hard working players. Something we've lacked last 5 years. I hope it will bring us some happiness from watching the boys this season at least, if its not translated to instant success.
