[Asura]

The bittersweet emotions of a typical HalaGGMU fan during this match must be like a rollercoaster ride 

[Inverted]

It only took him 2 open goals.

Someone wake up Teso they've got one back. 

Too busy finding his Madrid kit 

[Bluewolf]

Who would have thought that 2 Chelsea old boys would be throwing United a lifeline...

Last thing I remember he fucked this game and is watching old ronaldo videos during his man utd times on youtube for a heavy wank 

[Bluewolf]

Nice to see Bale making a good recovery there once he got his hair back in place... 

[Bluewolf]

Fucking pussies these players... don't matter where they get a knock or how little impact it has they have to go to ground no matter what.. They want to be stamping that shit out of the game... 

[Stan]

Rashford should have buried that. 

[Stan]

Classic Sergio. Get hurt. Get booked. Miraculously all that pain goes away....

Romelu Lukaku has now scored 9 goals in his last 6 appearances in European competition. His first goal for Man Utd. 👊

cheers geoff

[Stan]

gulf in class clear between the 2 teams. Utd could do with a Kante-esque player in midfield.

and morata-esque striker who could have buried that 6 yard chance and taken the match to extra time and penalties......too bad they had to take the L, bad transfers by the speciaL one

[Cicero]

Tbf to Teso, he got the scoreline right. Just forgot which team he was supporting.

🙄🙄 fuck the ref

alright Jose calm yourself

[Cicero]

Two Chelsea rejects for United to get something out of this game. Good business or more of a  showing of the state they are in? 

[SirBalon]

Man Utd really are a mess.  As far as I'm concerned they're simply a brandname these days and nothing more.

[Dan+]

Same old Man Utd, well I say old, same new Man Utd I mean. Slap bang average. I just wonder what game it is we'll confirm another finish above them, I reckon a win at Burnley on the 14th April will do it.

[Kowabunga]

If we are to draw any idea from this game, Lukaku looks like a dumb player. Pogba the most expensive ornamental player of all time. Matic is nice.

ManU sucked at defending crosses.

 

[Machado]

The good news for Man United is that they won't find anyone on this level in the PL.

[RandoEFC+]

Decent game in patches. Real Madrid miles ahead of United though. 

No excuses for Mourinho this season, commentators on BT chatting shite about how he's still building this team. After signing Lukaku, Pogba, Lindelof, Matic for the money they have you can't use that excuse anymore. United start accepting the perpetual transition period they'll look in the mirror in a few years and see Arsenal.

True. The bad news is their finishing is still appalling.

Forget finishing!  Even if they finished what they started you get the sense that certain clubs will select the next gear and get the job done anyway.

The reason I've given Man Utd even more stick (because losing to Real Madrid isn't exactly unusual) is because THIS Real Madrid right now is a tactical mess!  Everyone knows this in Spain and even though pre-season is pre-season and this was a "competitive" match, this meant more to Man Utd than Real Madrid for so many obvious reasons.  It's simple...  Manchester United today are just a brandname, an overhyped brandname with very little meaning behind it aside from domestic success.  They're not even the biggest name in England!

Matic had a good first twenty minutes where he was actually running, then for the remainder of the game he decided to be his old passive self for the rest of the match.

I think we've gotten progressively worse for making excuses for failure in this country. I swear no-one used to slag off having to play in Europe about 10 years ago other than when you had CSKA Moscow or Dynamo Kiev.

[Pep Talk]

That Real Madrid midfield is just incredible
