Hernandez was the fastest player at the world cup and they always bang on about his pace but whenever he has the chance to show it he's bloody offside.

Looks like Rodwell signed a 5 year deal in 2010 so I don't think he'd come cheap. Barry's out for about a month though and the de Jong thing is a big question mark so I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

De Gea's already given one up. This United team is going to be on pins and needles going into the season playing like this.

Barca won 2-0 (Messi-Afellay) against Dinamo Bucarest. Villa came on from the bench after 8 months absence :D

Good finish

Pre-season is pretty much all about fitness and a chance for the fans to see the new signings. Saying that, United should score again.

Should probably not trust the 7-11 security cameras quite so much
This United squad is essentially their first team. Season starts in a week.. they're definitely beyond the fitness stage. No one likes to lose.

You lost to Oldham the other week. These results mean jack shit, Newcastle and Spurs lost the other day as well. It's still about fitness. The real work is done in training.

Technically that was not our first team playing them but rather our Reserve/EDS squad. Not to say it wasn't disappointing, but most of the team was in Malaysia and had played the day before. The only first teamers were recent Euro returnees who were playing their first matches and they came off at HT.

This is United's entire first team outside of Keane.

I don't think you understand pre-season

You cannot judge anything from a non-competitive match. Chelsea, Spurs, United, Newcastle, Arsenal etc have had a bunch of shitty results but they don't matter, there is nothing to play for in a friendly. You want to play well but nobody is going to put 100% effort in with the season starting next week.

lol 3-1
