We definitely need someone with a bit more composure and nous in that forward line. We're just lacking that player to unlock things.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
I'm not sure what to think of this game. We are playing well but the opposition is very underwhelming.
McT has been really unlucky.
He was the last high profile Argentinian that didn't want to join us that we signed.
0-0....really ?
Can people stop complaining? Cant you see that theyre treating this as a «do whatever weird thing» passing match?
Kristiansund are worse than Perth Glory, theres no real matchup here, its just a casual match

Yep, I agree, if we can have more McPlayers would be mint. McGuire.lolz
Rashford plays like he's still raw. I dont think he should be on the left.
Finishing as ever our achilles heal.
As long as you see it as knee-jerk, it's fine. I've been getting worried over the forum in the years after Fergie, so I'm never quite sure when people are serious.Can't a guy go full knee-jerk once in a while?
Admittedly, I do it all the time
Well, lets hope Chelsea aren't as far ahead in their preparations as Kristiansund
Mctominay has improved so much, looks an absolute beast
Eh no - they are not! (worse than Perth Glory - that is)
Come on man, he’s saved about 4 shots straight at him! World beater.
Think the people saying we don't need a player like Dybala are crazy. Wer need some craft.
Dybala and Bruno will happen in plenty of goals with our good build up play
Couldn't hit a donkey's arse with a banjo.
Should be up by at least 7. Dare I say it Lukaku would have put some of those chances away.
Decent run out so far. I'd like to see Fred brought on for Matic, drop McT deeper
Workrate's been excellent.
Hmm, I wonder if we are linked with any player who can do that?
EDIT: Players for that matter...
Good workrate, bad quality
How we playing? How's Martial been?
McT did not impress me when he first came in to the first team, but he is working hard and playing well, cant wait to see him in the PL this season.
Mctominay was great towards the end of the half. The way he finds space inside a crowded box is impressive.
We'd be absolutely fecking lethal if a player much better than Lingard played in his position.
This side makes McSauce like a world class B2B mid
Agreed. Swap out Lingard for Dyabala or Bruno and you can understand why the muppets are in full force right now.
Forget about signing Maguire, Dybala, Fernandes or anyone we've been linked to. We need to sign their goalkeeper, he's been world class for them.
I like McTominay, he's had a good preseason, but he's been selfish as hell at times.
McTominay looking really good, and has a great shot as well.
Just lacking the finishing, as always. Should have been at least 3-0 up. But good to see the guys pressing really hard.

Positive first half could be about 4-0 up without that keeper he’s had a top game. Loving the way we’re trying to play now.
Worked hard. A bit sloppy in the final third. A different challenge for this new setup, a team sitting back defending. Bruno would smack a few of those corners onto slabhead.
If we are then we've been very quiet about it and it's certainly not been leaking out for the past 24 hours.
As long as you see it as knee-jerk, it's fine. I've been getting worried over the forum in the years after Fergie, so I'm never quite sure when people are serious.
You're not alone there
We are playing very well, just need to get thag goal. Get Fernandes, and Dybala and we will improve on both creating and finishing chances.
Swap out Lingard with Angel Gomes and you'll see a huge difference.
Martial's workrate is impressive but I keep waiting for him to just get bored of doing it. McTominay is actually excellent.
Can't a guy go full knee-jerk once in a while?
Admittedly, I do it all the time
God no.
Just no.
I am not an expert on him but I am not sure Dybala is crafty.
We really should have finished one of those chances. I like the football going forward, but we're terribly open on counters.
