It's available online for €2.

Are people really so cheap?

madcabbage

Don't know if it's been posted before but you can watch the game on the Man Utd website with a €2 pass. Can't go wrong really for one game.

Its here, on its own if that helps

Sporting Lisbon defender Marcos Rojo has handed in a transfer request and told his club he wants to be allowed to join Manchester United.
United have submitted a £15.9m (20m Euro) offer for Rojo, 24, who played for Argentina in the World Cup final.
Sporting, runners-up in Portugal's Primeira Liga, are considering the bid.

The boss spotted on the pitch, warming up with the lads......

44 on Sky but rumours he's wearing 11 now, unofficial reports.

EDIT: Yeh he's 44 tonight.

Looks like #mufc link with Sporting Lisbon Marcos Rojo is a goer

I pay a subscription to a streaming site. They never have MUTV hence why I asked.

I'm not doubting BBC credibility but Sporting haven't even accepted any bids yet. Some people are taking it as if the deal is done and dusted. I'm not going to get carried away until I hear a statement from the club saying he has passed a medical and that the personal terms are agreed.

Anyway moving on, it will be interesting to see how the likes of Fellaini and Januzaj do tonight. Haven't seen them in action since the WC.

I don't think anyone has said the deal done.

NB: Tonight's squad numbers are not necessarily the final numbers players will wear during the 2014/15 season.

Im not going to pick people out but there have been people saying they are pleased with the signing on the thread.

Also even away from the thread on other sites people have been talking as if its done.

Early days in my view.

But saying that theres no point dwelling on it.

Adamocovic

MUTV have Januzaj wearing 44 so it doesn't look like he's been given the 11 jersey yet anyway.

NeVeR

I've Sky and i'm watching the build up on MUTV.. at 7:25 it will turn off.. will that 1.99 payment work for Sky would like to watch it on the big screen.

Shaw, Valencia, Welbeck, possibly Evans


A lot of injuries according to Van Gaal

OctavarIan

I'd love if Utd kept this €1.99 to watch a match online thing going throughout the season. So handy!

Kaizersoze81

van gaal worried about the amount of injuries. Time to get the finger out and buy some f*cking players woodward

Player hands in transfer request to move to United, United place a bid i would be shocked if it isn't completed soon.

If only MUTV had every league game, it would be so handy for the fans (not commercially beneficial though!)

i like the united tracksuits giggs etc wearing. very retro look to them

Does the deal look likely? Yes.
Is it set in stone? No.

We have seen before and even this season that anything can happen to derail a move.

My point is that personally I won't take the deal as done until the club announce it. Each to their own.

With the money spent by Sky and BT Sports, they have full TV and streaming rights so that won't happen.

And our new leader walks out at OT for the first time. Looking like he owns the place.:cool:

Daniel Taylor saying he knows Utd had a deal in place for Kroos which was cancelled by LvG. Not exactly new news or anything but interesting to hear it coming from someone usually reliable, obviously he could just be regurgitating Utd spin of course.

Someone explain to me why LVG would not want Kroos?

At least Mata has his facial hair back anyway.

He gave him his debut at Bayern. Maybe he felt he wasn't what he needed especially after already signing Herrera.
I trust his judgement even If I don't agree with it.

Rayne Wooney

Zoie Attractive Shortbread wrote: »

He used him as a number 10 at Bayern and Mata is better than him at 10

It's not far fetched that he doesn't think he will work in midfield in his system

Hank Scorpio

Slow enough start to the game

It could also be an arse covering story by Woodward to give the impression that he had a great signing lined up and ready to go but for the intervention of LVG. The bigger question about Kroos is, if he is so good why didnt Bayern work harder to keep him and why such a modest transfer fee?

madcabbage

I know it's a friendly but Jaysus the crowd are very mute. Make some noise people!!!

Year left on his contract, didn't seem inclined to sign another one (or demanded too much money from Bayern), so Bayern weren't in a great bargaining position. It was sell him for a knocked down fee or lose him for nothing a year later.

He's patently a very very good player.

Rayne Wooney

It's a bit of a worry how the middle of the park has been a no go zone in this so far and the Liverpool game

Pushed out wide 90% of the time

NeVeR

Not to entertaining so far











(Hopefully by saying this they score )

I really doubt LvG would keep quiet about it if that was the case.

GSPfan

I love this formation. Just seems really comfortable.

Also i don't care if Blackett has a few howlers this season I'd like to see him play a lot of games anyway. He could turn out to be great if he gets experience.

All competent teams crowd the centre and try to push the opposition out wide though so I am not worried at this early stage.

United are spreading wide as possible to retain possession, the ball isn't getting pumped into the box from any and every angle though so that is good. Its going to take them a while to link up and use the ball properly while getting used to keeping the ball and probing rather than pumping it in like Moyes had them doing.

crerand is a terrible commentator. Very cringeworthy comments.You can feel the co commentators awkwardness at times
