Jesus I thought we could hype a player:
"Hernandez, Sir Bobby and then Giggs"

Well isn't the benefit supposed to go to the attacking team? He's gonna be a nightmare for defences with those runs.

Agh, MLS get a consolation.

Didn't stay up for. This thread was a good read this morning though !! Hope the injuries aren't serious. hopefully Kiko can make an impact this season. found the Utd goals on the caf for anyone who like me missed them.

Cleverley (shades of gazza v scotland on euro 96 - not as good obviously)

gave the game a bit of a watch this morning before heading to work.

Not watched it all cause I didn't have the time to, might stick it on later.

What I saw was promising enough in attack, some lovely movement and some great finishing. Pleased with what I saw of Hernandez - pulled into some great positions and he has great instincts. His left foot volley just after coming on was an awkward one to take but his technique in doing so was great and keeping it on target as he did was very good - unlucky not to score. His goal was very well taken, getting himself into a great position and using his acceleration well to get clear. Nice composed finish too.

Thought Cleverly improved as the game went on, and took his goal brilliantly - that is why I want him to stay at United for at least the first six months of the season. Could have had a couple more to his name on the night too.

Worried about the defence though, we have looked very poor on crosses and set pieces on this tour, which is normally something we are very good at. Hopefully it is just some pre-season rustiness and we are back on form for the start of the premiership.

Looked a very decent performance from the lads overall, but it is difficult to really judge the performance - as we don't really know how to judge the MLS all-star side.

FutureGuy

Jsut watched Hernandez' goal. First impression...linesman fail. He looked about 5 yards offside. LOLOLOL @ linesman.

Then you see the replay and just how well Hernandez did to stay on until the pass was played. Some acceleration too.

Skud

great goal from cleverly. that boy has got some future

Early reports are 2 weeks for Obertan. Could be worse.

so he won't be at barstool-fest 2010? Damn, was hoping to see him play.

homerjay2005

ye lot are all off your f|8cking heads being up at that hour! do ye not have jobs to get up for?:pac::pac:


decent game, some cracking goals, pleasing overall. BUT, only a preseason friendly. one thing that is amazing, is 70,000 people there and should be another 100,000 wathcing the 2 games in the next 6 days.

amazing interest United are creating state side.

Wolfe Tone

Fcuk me. I stayed up for all the other preseason games but not this one

I really enjoyed the game last night.

The crowd were up for it. A mexican wave at one point. A bit of booing when Nani went down (which he did do a few times too easily) but all in all, the sold out crowd really seemed up for it which was good.

The commentry was gas. At one point I broke out laughing when one lad called the United kit, their uniform. Getting their Pepsi ad in and the rest. Not sure where they got some of their stats from though.

The goals were all well taken. Macheda's goals were well taken. Gibsons goal was a peach of freekick. Cleverly's goal was a cracker and good aul Hernandez got his Chico time and it was a lovely debut goal too.

Giggs played a stomer and played some great passes. Was well happy with his performance.

Looking forward to Chico playing in both halves in the next game. One half for United and the other for Chivas.

While it was nice to win and score a few goals, we must remember that we were playing a squad who have NEVER played together. I'm not bashing MLS at all, we could have played the best XI from the bundesliga or serie A and gotten the same result.

I am excited about the kids though (hope that doesn't make sound like a pedo ) All the goals last night same from players 22 and younger. I'm not a transfer muppet, I prefer to develop our talent.

Thanks for the clips jaykay74. Very well taken goal from Cleverly. Delighted for Javier to get a goal on his debut, was a nice goal too. And hoping Kiko can keep on going and keep getting goals.

Wish I had of stayed up and watched it now.
