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.
Oh Definitely.
Genuinely think our starting striker is better than Spain's.
Easier to switch allegiance when Dier is the one in front of you. Our youth system in Ireland has lots of players of his ilk.
Can't compete with the likes of Hourihane, whoever he is.
Brazil only drawing 1-1 with Panama, thought this would've been a 5 or 6 nil job.
One of the worst results in their history?
One of the worst results in their history?
Brazil playing this on neutral venue (think it looks like Oporto) and still getting whistled off.
How is Morata still an international level striker?
Is he really the best Spain have in that position?
yes, unfortunately Morata and Rodrigo are the best we have.Diego Costa has too many physical problems to offer continuity
It's just a friendly. They've got to have a pretty high tolerance for shit results at this point.
That Spanish team looks shite.
You could be right
We need more Flo's
They will have a walk in the park against Norway tonight.
Has Stefan Johansen played much football lately?
Close from Morata
Am I alone in this thread?
No.
Wtf Ødegaard
DDG will not be overworked.
I thought Morata was Italian
Rodrigo scores for Spain. Great from Alba.
Norway are not meant to play football
This is really boring. I expected Norway to do better against Spain's B team. It looks like they are finally awake now though, before the goal they were just strolling around.
What? Stick to skiing?Norway are not meant to play football
Norway are not meant to play football
Look on the bright side, we'll return to smashing everyone in the winter sports tomorrow.
Skiing, oil, gas etc.
Good save Jarstein.
People need to stop thinking of Norway and the 90s in terms of football, btw. Outside of that we’ve never been in Championships, outside of 36 olympics. We had an abnormally good crop back then.
Edit: in the 90s, I mean. Though supposedly we had a world class player in Arne Brustad, back then.

Knew you'd do it
.But that's what I said, no curve or power to that cross, the merit is in the run and the point he sends it to.
Tarik is so shit
That was a lucky escape for Spain.
Norway missed an open goal from 3 cm out. Well done.
You literally had to sit down and think about how not to score from that
Spain team looks pretty mediocre to me.
Navas at RB, can understand for his club but guy is 33 although Carvajal is of course first choice when fit.
Inigo Martinez never really lived up to his promise, just a mid table CB.
Ramos and Busquets will probably play one more tournament. Parejo can be o.k but lacks consistancy, Ceballos not really played much and obviously weaker upfront than 10 years ago.
Actually amusing looking at their bench as it has quite a retro look to it. Didn't even know Mata had been called up by Spain, felt like years he was last called and you also have guys like Munian and Canales who are good players but never made the breakthrough they were both tipped for 5 years ago. Surprised guys like Rodri and Saul aren't starting.
Think Euros 2020 will go similar for them as last three tournaments.
Edit: It's wierd to me now looking at some of the major nations now and thinking yes England do actually have better options in many areas of the pitch than they do (thought this also when looking at Germany squad). Of course England actually have to back it up and win a tournament in next six years.

Whatever your hope is for Norway the opposite happens.
Bless Lagerbeck but we have no clue here
Don't Norway have the play offs as fall back option?
Difficult to say they'll finish top 2 when Spain and Sweden are in the group but Lagerback is excellent coach for national teams so I do think you're on the right path to making a major tournament again.

You do realize that the Mata that is on the Spain bench is not Juan Mata, right? It is Jaime Mata, same age as Juan but an unknown who has had a late career rise to the top.
