Match Day Thread Manchester United v Real Madrid

The game is tomorrow morning, 1:05am kick-off, On MUTV.

 

Thanks Matth. I'll make sure to be sound asleep in bed at the time

 

This game marks the 12 year anniversary of United signing Michael Carrick.

 

No problem, I’m recording it.

 

I'll be amazed if we don't get hammered. There can be no confidence in the players following Mourinho's recent comments.

 

Do you know what he has said to them?

 

That they are not his squad and Sanchez isn't happy to play with them.

 

Interesting, I read it as we have a lot of young lads here and Sanchez is frustrated because he isn't getting the service he wants.
Still, if the papers see it different feel free to accept their view.

Did you see the interview or read the full transcript? I couldn't fault it in any way really.

 

De Gea
Darmian
Bailly
TFM
Shaw
Fred
Herrera
McTominay
Pereira
Mata
Sanchez

Benzema, Bale and the reserves starting for Madrid.

 

Take de Gea and Sanchez out of our team and how would you class the rest of them?

 

I watched the interview and read his quotes. You can't fault, "Look, do you want him (Sanchez) to be very happy with the players he has around him?" It's a huge put down to players like Mata, Pereira, McTominay, Mitchell, Chong and Gomes.

 

Obviously not our best team but top players.

 

United go into the hydration break with two really well worked goals!

 

We won 2-1.

 

We did! Easily our best tour game so far. I'll even let Mourinho off playing park the bus since it was Madrid and we managed to hold out even when they brought on more of the big guns in the second half.

 

Great.

 

Yep, showed you how to do it

 

Let me quote a number of your 'colleagues' following your twatting by Liverpool. "It's only pre-season"

 

True, losing in pre-season isn't so important as losing a CL final

 

Got to be in in to lose it.
