Well that was bloody entertaining! We beat City 3-1 on penalties after a 2-2 draw in 90 minutes. Smart finishes from Henderson and Sterling in normal time, and then good penalties from Can, Henderson and Lucas. Mignolet the hero with 2 saves. We go top of the group on 5 points.

Most importantly, some seriously promising stuff from the likes of Henderson and Sterling. Can continues to impress, and Coutinho is doing everything right but his shooting ability lets him down. We look even more of a threat going forward than we did last season.

As for the defence, more than enough shaky moments for my liking. Too vulnerable down the flanks but it's good that we played a side like City who are good enough to show us where we need to improve before the season gets underway.

Yup, I thought that both sides were looking a bit shaky at the back and Citeh definitely need to practice their penalties before the season starts lol :o ;D

Just watching MUTV waiting for the Real Madras match to start and during an advert they showed a clip from Giggsy's first press conference where he joked that he'd just given himself a new 5 year contract, still makes me laugh out loud lmfao ;D ;D ;D

De Gea

M Keane Jones Evans

Valencia Fletcher Herrera Young

Mata

Roonster Welbeck

Good to see Michael Keane getting a start. All of our young defenders have done great so far.

Fantastic passing movement from United and Young puts United a goal ahead. Great piece of football. A 20 pass move with mostly one touch football. This is a weakened Real Madras side but even so they've still got a good few big name players such as Casillas, Pepe, Ramos, Modric and Bale.

Keane gave away a daft penalty though >:(

Bloody Bale lol ;D

20 passes for our goal and only De Gea and Mata didn't get a touch on the ball. The difference between Moyes' United and Van Gaal's United is about as night and day as you can get. We're playing some REALLY nice football. :o 8)

Don't know what Van Gaal has done to Young but he's looking like he's worth every penny we've paid for him. 2-1 now, not sure if the Roonster or Young got it in. Will have to see a replay.

7 minutes to go until halftime and we deserve to go in ahead.

Bollocks, Welbeck off injured. Zaha on to replace him. A shame because Welbeck has had a great pre-season so far, hope he's not out for too long. :(

Nice cross from Kagawa and great movement and finish from Hernandez puts United 3-1 up. Not going to save Kagawa's United career though, nor Hernandez's either probably. 109,318 attendance, a record in the States for a footy match. :o

3-1 final score and a deserved win for United. That's United in the Final against either the red scouse gits or the Bitter Blues. I think Miami is in for a bit of a shock either way lol :P

We're in the final no matter what happens in this game against Milan due to us having a stronger head to head record against both Olympiacos and City and all 3 teams being on 5 points. Should be an interesting "friendly"...  :P

Yup, didn't realise that the red scouse gits were confirmed as being in the Final.

Think Mr Rodgers should take everything he learnt about playing against United last season and throw it in the bin. This is a completely different Manchester United we're seeing here under Van Gaal:

Played 4, Won 3, Drawn 1, Lost 0, Goals For 13, Goals Against 3 :o

7 goals were against LA Galaxy but they had the best defensive record in the MLS and Robbie Keane before the match started had scored 9 goals in 15 games, and they were 15 games into their season so had an advantage with regards to fitness and sharpness. :)

The commentators during the match on MUTV said that people were paying $100 for a parking space :o :o :o

109,318 people in the crowd...wonder how much money was paid in total for parking. Fucking hell, hope United got a decent cut of that lmfao ;D ;D ;D

Comfortable win against a substandard Milan side. Even our B team made their first team look poor. Nice little warmup for Monday.
