I once mentioned on this forum that Trashford reminded me of Welbeck and some people kicked against the statement.

I would like to withdraw the statement and apologize to Welbeck for the disrespect.

If after today, ETH doesn't get to know and concede that these players are not in any way good enough and demand for better players, let him carry his own cross!

Expert17:
Eriksen is a baller

Martines also.

How Rashford played 90mins is beyond me.

Bruno is one of our major problems as well. He's so unreliable

We need a Ronaldo regardless of his fitness level.

The guy saved us last season.... its looking like it's gonna be same thing this season

gameboy727:

Because we have pretenders as players. If this were to be a friendly match, you would have seen a different level of performance from the players.

All these, Fridge, Rashford, Martial, Mctom are going to mess ETH up.

Welcome to Manchester United, ETH. A club with players and board with good record of failing the coaches and getting them sacked.

This match is a blessing for us.

Expert17:

One can only laugh. I found myself laughing too. It's good for our mental wellness

Lol... it was coming. Boring game from us so far. He better put in Ronaldo

larride:
League starts tomorrow and we are still waiting for FDJ.

Quite shocking. Heads should roll for this but I know it will be swept under the carpet once the transfer window closes. ETH should also take some blame if it's true that he has no alternatives for FDJ.

The lies from the management is mind-blowing. One thing is this, we are going to pay highly, in fees for other players and in many ways, for the ineptitude of the people handling the transfers.

If this is an indication of how Murtough and Arnold will be operating, we should start bracing ourselves. I'm expecting some panic buying soon. I don't really care much about the issue of FDJ but I expect other deals to have been completed by now.

My conclusion still remains that we have very limited transfer funds. It just seems like the owners of the club are tired of investing money into the club.

Mrviktor:
Same energy window with Moyes and kroos

Very true!

I have even stopped reading transfer news about other teams because they just make me sad about how my dear club is run.

I'm also worried about the pace of our midfielders in general

I have always reiterated that I'll not take us serious as long as we are parading Martial, Rashford and McTomi as first team players. They should be on the bench rather than being used as starters.

I remember how some people were saying VDB will do well this season after the last match

The guy is not good enough. Yes there will be some few games where he will perform relatively well, just like other pretenders in our attack line.

A broken clock is right twice in a day.

I just hope ETH is not fooled by the goals from Martial and his brother, Rashford. I'm not writing them off entirely but they need to prove it where it matters most (competitive matches) before we can truly say they are back.

JayromWrites:
Hannibal and James Garner

Garner reportedly picked up a knock during one of the trainings

CapitalCee:
Am telling you and nobody was hyping them before now. .

I know this might not be entirely true but our midfield is more balanced in this half. Those two boys complement themselves so well

CapitalCee:
afrodoc. Abeg who be this Iqbal Zidane sef. The boy and Savage pikin de play well.

They have both been wonderful, especially Iqbal

Leyqute:
At least that right side is starting to work courtesy Sancho, Dalot and Fred.

McTomminay is just a waste.

That's just because of Sacho. Move him to the left side and you will see the momentum shifting to the left.

Sancho is the only effective winger we have for now, in my opinion

I'm optimistic at this stage. I can't wait for the new players and more targets to join the lads.

Oasis007:
Erik ten Hag: "I was really happy to see [it]. As you saw against Liverpool, we had a good threat on the right side, as well as the left. We want to develop over two sides, also in the middle."

I like this quote

Mrviktor:
Omorrr..

Mehnnn donny is horse shit..

Isn't even impacting d game

He needs to go back to Eredivise if he wants to make the world cup list

Mrviktor:
So we go win trophy trophy..

We have recently been doing well during pre-season games. I'm not moved. I'm positive about the pattern of play that's a little obvious though.

Varane might be injured.... ok, he's up

So many mistakes from Liverpool's end

Martial

Fred.. right from Pereira's pre-season diary

Sancho has been good

We are playing high the field. My only observation

To think Moutough claimed that they were focusing solely on FDJ because they didn't want to overpay. Are we not going to overpay for other players now?

I'm disappointed ETH took that decision. It just seems like Mafridge was imposed on him internally. I would at least expect that nomination and voting would be done among the players to determine the captain....

Anyway, we move.
