Wow, Cleverley as CM. Superb. Something I really wanted to see.

Either Welbeck or Diouf as wingers, if Welbeck then as a LW, If Diouf then as a RW.

Welbeck is starting on the left. Good to see Obertan is starting this match after two good appearances off the bench.
 
Twitter seems to think Diouf will be starting on the wing with Welbeck up front with Berbatov. Hope Welbeck gets himself a goal tonight and hope Cleverley shines in central midfield.

Should be a good'un.

Chicago Fire lead 1-0 after 13 mins, Gibbs with the header above Jones and De Gea was rooted.

Welbeck has been magnificent so far, by far our best player. We've been the better side and probably should have had a penalty but it's pre-season so doesn't matter too much. Just looking for a decent performance. Result is a bonus.
 
De Gea- can't pass
Jones- Can't win areal duel
Cleverly- Mobile, but poor passing
Obertan- fast but poor balance and composure
Welbeck- fast, but I'm not sure does he knows what he wants when he has the ball
Diuf- Few back passes, except that, nothing
Berbatov- Mobile as always

We need Sneijder.

You're judging a young 'keeper on his debut and criticising his passing? He releases the ball quickly with strong throws. Jones, debut again. The rest are all not even relied on in the first team, but most of all, it's freaking pre-season.
 
CF should have scored at least one more. Only been watching for 20 mins or so but Utd for all their possession look weak on their right-hand side (Particularly defensively) and aren't breaking down a solid CF defence... CF have been really wasteful with their chances.

I'm allow to celebrate good moves, but I can't criticize poor passing and movement ? And I know its pre season, that why I'm calm. Stop being so aggressive mate.

Stop being so critical in pre-season then.
 
Good (actually looked a little lucky if I'm harsh) save from De Gea to deny CF a second. Hit straight at him but lots of power behind it and he did well to get down. Looked more dramatic than it actually was IMO.
 
Hey Joss... [video=youtube;6HYV5HDpFqQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HYV5HDpFqQ[/video] Great goal. Jenkinson's class :P ( :P Like Im joking, he's not class). But even him can't touch this guy. Classic :D

EDIT: Didn't see it properly - on second viewing, it's a very good save from DG with his foot. Excellent reactions.

Why is everyone on MUTV scottish?

lol.

"I'm not making excuses but they're young players and this is the earliest kick-off and hottest conditions".

No, love. Of course you're not making excuses ;)
 
Anyone else see the video of the boys playing FIFA on MUTV just there?

"We just put the twins to bed!" - Rio, LOOOL.

Anyway, been a decent game. We don't deserve to be ahead, but we've been pretty wasteful with the chances we have had. Welbeck was our bright spark but he faded away a bit in the second half. Obertan was very good too. Diouf was non existant, so I expect Rooney/Owen to come on at HT..

Expect a few changes at HT.
 
Anderson, Rooney, Giggs, Park & Evans replace Carrick, Berbatov, Cleverly, Diouf and Fabio
 
Smalling with a superb finish, but he was offside.

Smalling is at RB, Evans and Jones CB. Giggs and Anderson CM with Park and Obertan on wings. Rooney and Welbeck up front.
