High pressing so far looking good. Snapping around Perth as soon as they get the ball.

Quite like what Martial has been up to playing upfront. Purposeful runs, hold up play, linking play probably still needs to up the intensity but given its pre-season hopefully signs of more to come from him.
James is kind of showing what Martial should have been about on the left. He’s always offering for the ball over the top.

How on earth does co-commentator know the career history of Perth Glory's Shane Lowry but doesn't know that United stalwart and longtime captain Valencia has left the club?!
His shot against PSG was shite too tbf
What formation are we playing?
He’s got notes given to him
He's put some beauties , our forwards weren't getting in there for tap ins.
Axel going for the kill already! Good lad, good lad!
For a first friendly of the tour, I'm pleased with the intensity. The rest will be judged further into the pre-season.
Pereira hasn't looked great so far. Lost the ball a few times.
All of them.
11 on the pitch.
Are some Aussies signing YAWN?? Dickheads
Martial is running????
Oh dear, we win PL this season
If we can get Martial going this season it will be great!
is Phelan there, didnt see him on the bench
Those first 15 mins show you exactly why we need Maguire.
Is that YAWN getting sung from the crowd?
Probably because they've done some research on a team they know nothing about but didn't bother for the team they do.
I'd like to see James and Chong switch for a bit.
I want him but how is that ? We're playing alone. The opposition isn't interested in attacking.
James is going to be a starter this season, which tells you just how badly we’ve lacked anyone remotely direct. We’ve been slow, predictable and lethargic for way too long.
Is Lingard playing as right winger or No. 10?
Decent attempt that from ash
It’s so infuriating to watch our centre backs (no matter who they are) always pass along the line giving the opposition time to set themselves.
Just then Jones (LCB) had the ball and Dalot was screaming in plenty of space on the right touchline but instead of just fizzing it across to him it had to go via Tuanzebe. Every single time.

James' touch and balance are both excellent. He's shown some decent vision as well, so far.
4231.
The Liverpool fans showed for United. Interesting.
Was that ours or Chelsea' bench?
Good effort Young.
Ooo Youngy...
Someone should crunch that guy
Ffs, why can't he hit them like that for 9 months of the year? 
Unlucky Young good effort
MUTV site is awful, haven't sent me a password reset in over 20 mins
How we looking?
How we looking?
I hope we switch James to the right at some point. Want to see how he'll do there. So far he has been good on the left, but entering the season with him on the left and Lingard/Mata on the right will mean we solved nothing.
Try him on the right a little bit.

Their box is empty
That work rate from James! It’ll definitely be infectious
20 mins into the game so far and I’m liking what I’m seeing. The high press is just so refreshing to see.
Oh I hope James is alright there! Been a standout!

Chong isn’t convincing me.
Daniel James and Lingard is the type of energy we need.
