JayKayMaybachz:
What time is our match with Barcelona?

12:30am

"Ed Woodward is in control. He did Lindelof and Lukaku. He knows that I would like two more players but he also knows that I have balance, I understand the situation, I understand the market and if my club is not able to do two players and just one then I will accept that as a consequence of the market now. 

“Our relationship is good and I just wait for good news. For me, good news is to have the players, or in this case maybe just the player, as soon as possible to work together with the team as that is important. But I am calm, I like my players, I like my squad, I trust them so I am calm and that is all.”


- Jose Mourinho

“I am happy with my squad but I would like to have two more players. One player would be a midfield player that would give me more options and more balance to the team. Another one would be an attacking player - especially that can play through the wings to give me more attacking options.

“I never speak about players who belong to other teams. I don't like it if a manager comes out and says he likes one of my players. That is not correct. So I would like two more players but probably I get only one.”

- Jose Mourinho

...... and they said Lukaku's first Touch is bad?!

Up Batshuayi!

CapitalCee:
.to be fair to him, he makes use of his brain, just that the capacity is really not up to notch. You can't blame him though. On the plus side, whenever I want to get entertained with cluelessness I engage him.

funlord:
He will run from this question now...just watch...chelshit fans are just clowns

Sinizia has said it all about him.

hensben:
Of course both are young and can compete. Lukaku is sh1t though. Go YouTube and see how real manure urinated fan are regretting the signing of lukaku already

Pls where in the Post did I mention Lukaku?! What Lukaku has to do with Batshuayi and Morata comparison?!

Oh Lawd!!!

PietroRico:
you dey even understand that guy?
You try o

Seriously it's kinda frustrating reading the Craps he's posting here! Is it that difficult for him to use his Brain at least once in a while?!

PietroRico:
no offense, Abeg why you dey bear spartacus??


I assume this picture isn't supposed to be private since na you use your hands upload am

Why are you still asking?! Someone wears Armor, and yet his Six-pack is still obvious for all to see!

hensben:
What's the difference between Martial and Lingard huh so because una buy the former for outrageous fee you come think say na don. Bruv both player are still raw talent, forget Martial price.

Can you tell the difference between Batshuayi and Morata?! I guess they are both Strikers, even though one is bought for a huge Price despite warming the Bench in his previous Club!

Martial to Carvajal - "When people ask you what happened here, tell them the US remembers, tell them Winter came for House Blancos.''

I pray Martial has gotten back his Wit and Consistency. Also pray he can replicate the same Skills against all Teams in the upcoming Season.

"Anthony's got great feet when it comes to close control and he's got the confidence to do it in a game. It's a nightmare for defenders.

"He's only going to get better. He's still young and if he carries on with that confidence [he showed for the goal] in the next few games and throughout the season, he'll help us a lot."


- Jesse Lingard

"Obviously we want more consistency in his [Martial] talent. I think today was positive for him, that is why I left him for 90 minutes on the pitch.

"He was enjoying it, he was trying new things, and it is important in these friendly matches to try new things, which he did. That is important for his confidence.

"Young players still need time to learn and time to improve. It is also his personality. I can say that he is training better than before, he is working harder than before, his ambition is to try to bring his talent in a consistent way."


- Jose Mourinho

joeace2020:

Your Foolishness is legendary! A typical Arsenal Fan. Thought you claimed it's a Taboo to celebrate Preseason Success?!

I posted a Report on the Assessment of Players' performances, you jumped out from swamp of Stupidity like a Toad to make a senseless Troll.

Your Brain needs to be formatted and reconfigured to meet the Human requirements, coz you are simply reasoning like an Animal.

sod09:
arsenal never lose to bayern on wednesday..una dan day wail already on our behalf.

No Wonder your useless Club Players were celebrating a Preseason Trophy in China!

sod09:
nawa ooo

bloody scummies

Had United lost to City, you wouldn't be wailing it's a Preseason Match, rather you would be making mockery of yourself.

Manchester United 2-0 Manchester City: Player ratings

David de Gea 7

– Comfortably dealt with a few long range drives. Never looked troubled as Pep Guardiola’s men struggled to penetrate.


Antonio Valencia 7.5

– An intractable force at the back and ominous going forward. The Ecuadorian clearly doesn’t understand the concept of ‘pre-season’.


Victor Lindelof 6.5

– Positioned himself well and looked fluid on the ball; did well to keep Sergio Aguero away from dangerous positions.


Chris Smalling 6

– Simultaneously valiant and foolish, combining moments of bravery with episodes of poor misjudgement, which could have easily culminated in a penalty.


Daley Blind 7

– Looked after the ball really well, always finding teammates and even stretching the pitch with a number of intelligent runs down the line.


Ander Herrera 7

– Without doubt the most energetic midfielder on the pitch. Buzzed around with the kind of verve supporters grew so accustomed to last year.


Paul Pogba 7.5

– A typically classy, untouchable sort of display from the Frenchman. Dwarfed the likes of Yaya Toure and Kevin de Bruyne in terms of sharpness. Will clearly benefit from Lukaku’s runs in behind next season.


Jesse Lingard 6.5

– One of Man United’s busier performers, always looking to stretch Manchester City’s back four but lacked cutting edge at times.


Henrikh Mkhitaryan 7

– Execution wasn’t always there but put Man City on the back-foot whenever he entered their half. Provided a perfectly weighted assist for Rashford.


Marcus Rashford 7.5

– Bombarded both flanks all game and displayed some notable muscle against some of City’s senior figures. Took his goal wonderfully.


Romelu Lukaku 8

– Sent a message to City and indeed the Premier League with another wonderfully taken goal in the first half. Brilliant on the ball and rattled the bar.


Substitutes


Phil Jones 6

– Occasionally struggled with Gabriel Jesus but generally kept City’s attacking frontier at bay. Somehow failed to take three chances in a row from about four yards out.


Matteo Darmian 6.5

– Disciplined, unspectacular but very much in control. The kind of Darmian performance supporters will hope to get used to.


Eric Bailly 6.5

– The Ivorian has hardly broken a sweat throughout pre-season. Made light work of a City attack lacking minutes.


Sergio Romero 6

– Endured a couple of shaky moments but came out with a clean sheet.


Anthony Martial 6

– Displayed plenty of initiative after coming on but couldn’t exercise much influence on the game


Michael Carrick 7

– Another controlled, balanced midfield display. The perfect player to bring on when protecting a lead with 30 minutes left.


Marouane Fellaini 6.5

– Shifted the ball nicely and easily outmuscled a fatigued City midfield. Could have been a greater presence in the box.

POGBA: WE ALWAYS WANT TO BEAT MAN CITY


What are your thoughts on beating City and the performance?

"You know it is a derby. Whether it is a friendly game or not, you want to win against Manchester City and show that you are ready for the test. It is the third game today and we have to carry on like that. The winning mentality, we have to keep it."


This was the third match of the tour against quality opposition – how did you feel out there?

"Of course we felt much better. The legs are better for everyone. Now we have more minutes so we have to get ready. More and more we will push towards the league, and the European Super Cup game as well. We have to keep playing and getting more minutes to get fit."


Can you talk us through our second goal by Marcus Rashford?

"The second goal is very well played by Micki [Henrikh Mkhitaryan]. We had this counter attack a few times and the goal came easily. It is a great goal, great work by Micki like I said, and when Romelu has the ball on the left to keep Rashford free. He is alone in front of the keeper and he scores."


How important is it that our strikers are scoring goals on this tour?

"Last season we missed a lot of chances and we need to score goals. When we have chances we need to kill. A 1-0 win and three points are very important in the Premier League and we know that. So now we have to start scoring goals. We have done it today and we have to keep this mentality."


What happened with your chance to score in the second half?

"It was a nice chance for me. I didn't score, but I have to keep trying. You always say ‘shoot, shoot’. The ball came to me and I shot. It just touched the feet of the guy and I missed, but I will keep trying."


We enjoyed your dancing feet to keep the ball from Fernandinho…

"It was at the end and I wanted to keep the ball. Nobody was around so I just took him on. The most important thing is to not lose the ball and not let the team go into contact [situations]. So I took him on and crossed for the team."


You must hope that you won’t hit the bar so many times this season?

"Hopefully this season will be more on my side. But if I don't score and we still win then I will be the most happy."

Third Kit unveiled!

Meanwhile..... Rashford didn't partner Lukaku in the striking Role, rather he played as a RWF and Lingard as a LWF while Mkhitaryan played 10, coz JM played 4-2-3-1.

Lukaku is indeed a proven Goal Scorer. I couldn't believe it!..... scoring from that Angle was kinda too easy for him.

Mkhitaryan had a good Game. He's a natural 10, and I hope JM plays him regularly in the Position in the upcoming season.

dopeJemi:
omo, buy any decent midfielder and play pereira, no time abeg.. pereira is fncking good

You are 100% on Point Mhen! I reall do not understand why Dudes here ain't considering the Lad as a first Team Player yet.
