    This is my pre-season warm up

    So what's been happening at Old Trafford?

    In come Mbuemo and Cunha, out go Rashford, Lindelof, Evans and Eriksen

    Last Saturday Man Utd played a friendly against Leeds in Stockholm although nobody seems to know why they went all the way to Sweden rather than a short trip down the M62

    Just like our friendly against Grasshopper there were different line ups in each half but unlike our friendly there were no goals in what has been described as a "bore draw" and a "snoozefest".

    Notable players who didn't make the trip to USA include Antony, Garnacho, Sancho and Malacia who are all said to be on their way out - if the price is right.

    Lisandro Martinez is still recovering from the ACL he suffered in February while Joshua Zirkzee was allegedly left back in Manchester due to ”excess baggage” (see John Hartson, Benni McCarthy)

    Andre Onana will miss the pre-season with a hamstring and could be out for longer.

    United were already looking for another keeper and it is reported that Villa rejected a loan bid for Emiliano Martínez. In other news the Pope is Catholic

    In Onana's absence Turkish GK Altay Bayındır - who conceded two against us at Old Trafford last season – played in the first half against Leeds with 39yo Tom Heaton replacing him at half time

    Many watching this?
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Jeez, they hit the post and shoulda scored in the first minute.
  • stevesteve
    Same old same old =)
  • stevesteve
    Pen to them
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Areola spills the ball, then dives to try and gather it and gives away a penalty, shocking.
  • stevesteve
    And they score
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    1-0 down in the 5th minute, great start, dreadful by Areola.
  • stevesteve
    Really need a new keeper
  • chicagohammerchicagohammer

    He was made to look really slow, not something I particularly noticed last season.

  • stevesteve
    Why the short corner which comes to nothing
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    We give it away trying to play out from the back and give them another great chance which fortunately is blasted over.

    I know it's pre-season, but we look dreadful so far, we just keep giving the ball away.
  • stevesteve
    Our defence is looking as bad as last season
  • chicagohammerchicagohammer
    Thus far Rodriguez is offering up nothing, little protection and not a lot going forward
  • stevesteve
    Drinks break good I really need one =)
  • stevesteve
    Looking a bit better now

    Poor by JWP, losing the ball on the edge of our box, blocked out for a corner, from which they have a header just wide with Areola stranded.

    They cut us open so easily there, but saved by the offside flag.
  • stevesteve
    1-0 half time
  • stevesteve
    I like the look of Diouf a bit raw but wants to make things happen
  • LukerzLukerz
    Love the commentary team trying to make it sound like a cup final
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Kilman robbed and we're lucky not to be 2 down, decent save by Areola.
  • stevesteve
    Should have been 2

    It's 2 now, another howler by Areola, as he tries to pass it out from the back and it's straight to a Man Utd player.

    More quality keeping

    Please can we sign a new goalkeeper asap
