The Manchester United Thread

Cristiano Ronaldo is in contention to be involved in #mufc’s friendly with Rayo Vallecano at Old Trafford on Sunday. [@samuelluckhurst]
 
Steve McClaren: “Mitchell [van der Gaag] has come along with him [Ten Hag] and he designs the practice sessions, the meetings that go into Erik’s plan. He’s very detailed, he’s a very, very good coach. He’s just like Erik, a workaholic.” #MUFC

Steve McClaren: “We’ve had a load of discussions and Erik [Ten Hag] is in charge. We are – the rest of the staff – learning as much as the players are learning. This is a new style, these are new principles, a new way of playing.” #MUFC

Steve McClaren: “I think the way it works is that Erik [Ten Hag] has this big plan. As I said, how he wants his team to play, in what style, principles. Both on and off the field, how he wants his players to behave, discipline.” #MUFC

Steve McClaren on Ten Hag: “He could read the football match, see things happening on the field & he’s so used to how he wants this team to play that he can spot changes that need to be made very, very quickly. I noticed that when I first worked with him & I’m noticing that now.”

Steve McClaren on Ten Hag: “His one great strength I always found when I first worked with him: he knew football.” #MUFC

Steve McClaren: “That’s how he [Ten Hag] works with the staff on and off the field: he delegates a lot. He tells you what your job is and he expects you to do it. If you’re not doing it, then he’ll tell you that you’re not doing it. That’s staff and players.” #MUFC
 
Cristiano Ronaldo announces he’s back with Manchester United team as he’s gonna play the friendly game vs Rayo Vallecano: “Sunday, the king plays”, he just commented on social media. #MUFC
 
I can't personally stand the fella, but reading absolute ******* halfwits saying yers should be booing Ronaldo Sunday sums up what an absolute ******* cesspit Twitter is.

****** like that should be locked up. They are a ******* menace to society.
 
**** houses! Good entertaining half and super competitive. Apart from the first 3/4 mins we haven’t really given Atletico a sniff and can barely get out there own half. Our press and closing off of passing lanes has been great.
 
As much as I don’t care much for preseason friendlies, I do like to look into any losses and/or draws so here’s my take

Positives:
-The pressing organization is getting better.
-Martial is still running like a mad man which is very odd to watch but good
-Malacia looks like an inspired pickup so far but he still needs to polish his first touch a bit
-Eriksen is a brilliant option off the bench.

Negatives:
-Sancho is the only winger we have that has the technical ability to unlock deep defenses. Rashford only seems to thrive when he has space to run into.
-McFred, what more needs to be said. We’re likely going to start both players vs Brighton
 
United's U/21's defeated Kidderminster Harriers 1-0 in midweek. Mateo Mejia with the goal.

Today they take on Altrincham at Moss Lane. 3.00 kick-off.

I think if Eriksen is ready he will be replacing McTominey and Partnering Fred or FDJ if he ever signs. Agree about Sancho defo need another forward signing
 
Jeez Goldbridge on form today lol as he’s been a bit of a hop topic lately🤦🏻‍♂️ Anyone would thing we just been out played by prime Barca in a CL final lol.
 
Ten Hag: "The team's performance was really good in nearly all aspects. The score is not good. We created a lot of chances, to score at least one goal and more, but we didn't score. I'm not satisfied on this point and I said it to the team, it is not acceptable. You need to be sharp in both boxes." #MUFC
