The Juan Sebastián Verón ball. The Ruud van Nistelrooy finish. It’s only a friendly but it’s gorgeous.

@robbiepender

[Joe Rawlings @joerawlings7]

Most of the players were poor but the tactics this season that have given this horrendous start

Can’t play v a back 5

Can’t play v 10 men

The front four press, terribly with no instructions by the look of it, then the midfield and defence drop of instead of engaging

[Joe Rawlings @joerawlings7]

@lauriewhitwell Of course you think he meant it! 😉

[Joe Rawlings @joerawlings7]

@Muppetiers Yes pal

[United Vault @UtdVault]

Michael Owen stoppage time winner in
the Manchester Derby to make it 4-3 - 2009

@htomufc With the LB that height does one of the CM’s then need to be Baleba for his ability to cover that space and stop counter attacks quickly?

[Joe Rawlings @joerawlings7]

@JackAmbler86 Reminded me of when Bruno and Mata played together in europa against poor opposition and were two steps ahead of the rest.

The way Tielemans and Mainoo are playing allows Bruno to stay closer to goal, I said before season started he will get more goals than assists this year

[Joe Rawlings @joerawlings7]

Great goal. Tielemans has been fantastic so far

He doesn’t get the acclaim he deserves.

To go from a generational winger to a midfield tempo‑setter in his late 30s, reinventing his entire game and still influencing matches at the highest level, is remarkable.

A once in a generation winger.

@FourFourTwo You were an important player for Van Gaal and Mourinho, who do you feel you played your best football under at United?

[Joe Rawlings @joerawlings7]

@FourFourTwo You had a great partnership with Ashley Young at United, he’d cross from the left you’d head in at the back post, was he the best crosser of the ball you played with?

[Joe Rawlings @joerawlings7]

Mazraoui played well at LB at the World Cup so may be seen as the back up, think Cunha/Rashford suffer without a left footer to overlap

If that’s the case Yoro has more games at RB

[Joe Rawlings @joerawlings7]

Not signing a left back is a massive mistake. So what do we do this season?

Big opportunity for Amass. Start v Brighton in cup, perform well, who knows? Dream scenario is he smashes it.

Dorgu LB? Feel Carrick would have tried this pre season if he thought it was an option.

[Joe Rawlings @joerawlings7]

@Muppetiers I like both, but to replace Bruno, it’s Cole Palmer

[Joe Rawlings @joerawlings7]

@NathSalt1 I liked the look of him in that successful youth cup season and those few cameos he got under Ten Hag. Hopefully has a good year then gets a chance next pre season

[Joe Rawlings @joerawlings7]

@WayneSBarton Reading home, Derby away
