Is miss control a rapper or something?

three shots three goals for united, can't fault their clinical finishing but doubts remain about mignolet

How many senior strikers at Pool this season? Just 2?

Glen Johnson has been Man Utd's Man of the Match.

At the moment 3, but Sturridge and Borini are injured. Likely Borini will trade places with a new purchase.

Easy to turn it around tbh. You win you gloat, you loose you make it out as a mickey mouse cup, win win huh. Some kind of defense mechanism even though its easy to see what you're doing.

Onto the game, thought United played great second half, Rooney was excellent

Liverpool did well in the first half but I feel they lacked class up front.

Liverpool were the better team for the majority of the game to be fair, throw Lovren and Sturridge in and it's a team good enough to get a top 4 place

Ha, im not really one for either of those things, was a joke based on the hyperbole of the importance of this game from earlier on today. Good game for the most part, showed up exactly where both teams are lacking going into the new season. Perfect level of intensity for a friendly at this stage, will stand the players of both squads in good stead.

There won't be a cow milked in Manchester in the morning, Hard at the minute to put into words how i feel right now, Manchester United Guinness International Cup Champions 2014, Up there with the success of 1999 for me.

I agree but I don't see the need for childish slurs.

Onto more important matters like the league!

Good run out for both teams. Liverpool controlled the game well up till 57 mins but they lacked cutting edge. Sterling was the only player who looked like doing anything.
Sturridge was a big loss.

That was united's almost first choice squad, liverpool were missing lovren, moreno, Manquillo, flanagan, lallana, markovic, Borini, Enrique and Sturridge.

Midfield would still be my worry. Can has looked good in pre-season but he's only 20. Its a lot to ask to get him to fit right in.

Alfred Borden

I have the same amount of Guinness International Cup winner medals as Steven Gerrard :P

Manquillo spotted in John Lennon Airport and already he's a nailed on starter?
Ever see him play?

The club have yet to have a bid accepted for the player! You may as well add every player the club has been linked with to the list.

Didn't see that, either way, he hasn't even been confirmed as signed yet has he?
Is he even good? Still a bit silly including him not to even mention Moreno...

We missed few players too in our squad. Vidal, Hummels, Vermaelen, RVP, Januzaj, Carrick and few others.

It was a friendly played at an intensity on the upper end of the spectrum, both managers will have learned a lot more than your run of the mill friendly after that game. The cup is meaningless alright but the game served a purpose

Great win for united, but it was also a positive that Pool made it difficult for us and highlights our need to strengthen.
That said if Liverpool press like they did today in their games for the rest of the season, expect them to run out of steam come February.
