Compared to playing in United reserves it’s not. Defenders quite often hit their prime between 27-31 years of age, so he can still come good.

So pis sed off to see Rooney on that photo standing next to Jose. Completely put a downer straight away for me. I will be fuming if he is kept on as captain and given special privellages to play
Everyone off to China
Doesn't mean much, but I think we've got the best-looking squad in the league.
Was just about to ask about him, wonder when we'll see him next.
You were looking at the squad ? I was too busy staring at the flight attendants ....
I know Mou said England players won't be in the games - assuming same will be for Rojo/Romero who played just the day before England.
Is Mourinho already playing mind games with Chelsea?
He is complaining about the October fixture because it is right after the Europa Cup match

So now everyone in the team must use the official backpack now? Was it like that in the past?
And, I don't get it. So all of them were in suits, outside the flight for the photo. After they were inside, they all took the suits off and changed into the official T-shirt?

Anyone else notice they got on the plane in the club suits then all changed to t-shirts They were obviously all told to change for the photo op opportunity that is player instagram selfies.

Any word why Bothwick-Jackson isn't on the tour?
the kid looked mature beyond his years when he played last season and looked like he was going to have a great future, so really hope he doesn't just get flogged off.

BoJack is injured.
Injured, should come back by the end of the month.
Don't forget - he signed a new contract after Mou came on board - so don't think he'll be flogged off - at least not this season. That said - he's had quite a few injuries after he broke through - hope it's nothing but, growing pains. I want him as the main backup to Shaw
They're one of our sponsors
as others have pointed out, the new suits are nice. heaven knows why they even wore those ugly suits last year and before... looked like they came straight from the early 2000's.
Anders face
I love those shirts.Will go check if they're available in the shop right now.
Definitely for me, probably a loan for Wilson at this stage but he needs a club where he'll play every week.
I reckon Keane and Johnstone will join them in moving on after the tour before a couple of the more established first team names also depart.
Those are some mighty fine suits, who makes them?
Some 4-year old girl in Bangladesh.
Still another 5 hours to go. Hope they are sleeping like babies.So, where's the flight tracker?
Edit...
Must be this one:

She's done an excellent job. Fair play to her.
does anyone has idea what backpack they are carrying?
Surprised to see Will Keane in there. Thought he's be gone for sure. Especially over Wilson. I guess he's getting sold or loaned out. Disappointed to see Borwick-Jackson left out, but apparently it's injury related.
Keane is that much quicker I feel.
does not hesitate to take that first time shot.
I see him him as a better striker for now than Wilson.

That looks good. Depending on how strong a team dortmund puts out, I'd go with:
--------------De Gea----------
Valencia--Bailly--Smalling--Shaw
--------------Carrick------------
-----Herrera----------Pereira
Mkhitaryan--Rashford--Memphis
Edit: I goofed Darmian is still on holiday, go with Valencia then, arghhh we really need another RB.

Why do we have a Spaniard who played in the 1/4 final in the squad yet the Swede is having a longer holiday?
Last edited:
Darmian isn't in the squad.
Because Darmian is on Vacation
Because vacation is on Zlatan.
They've landed in China. Finally some games in my timezone.
nice
Hope the lads got a good sleep on the plane. Heavy PR works ahead.
Hopefully Axel will force his way to the squad when the real season starts.
Stick him in midfield so he can keep the wheels turning.
Spanish got knocked out in the round of 16, 27th june, 3 weeks off which is the minimum I believe so Dave started back on Monday. Zlatan ? Well who knows really, as you'll all find out soon enough he has to be different, always different.
I dont expect a good performance from us and i dont expect a "will maybe the first-team in the season" lineup. We played all the last friendlygames with a lot of youth players. Training just started and TT is doing experiments i guess.
