If we can have Amass and Collyer as back ups to Shaw and Ugarte, like Garnacho being back up to Rashford in his breakthrough season, that could be quite exciting. I think the amount of academy players Ten Hag has a track record of bringing through is a big reason why he kept his job. Not many give that much faith to youngsters

[ameyagokhale]

I think Rasmus needs to do a bit of Yoga

[eduardocruz]

As a United fan in the States. We need to stop coming here. The turf and grass-on-turf are horrible for injuries. Messi has a clause in his contract where he WILL NOT play on turf.

[OldTrafordTV]

Time To SIGN De Ligt x UGATE...!! We all wish YORO x RASMUS a quick recovery 🙏🏾

[ibrahimmahmud]

Amass is 17 definitely not ready yet. Why did we sell Alvaro Fernandez when we need a LB. 21 years old with 2 loan experiences he was a good Spanish left back. Clearly a big club like benfica saw something in him to make the loan move permanent. Terrible decision

[NoirFan]

Hojlund's had a few injuries now, it's frustrating. Especially as in the short time he was on he was looking sharp & the players were doing a good job of getting him involved.

[ameyagokhale]

Can we stop playing Arsenal in the states for Preseason? We seem to have a shit time with injuries against them

[jdoublet]

‘Amass looked poor’🤔 did that commenter watch the game? He played a blinder I thought in what was such a high intense first half.
Played Jesus offside for their goal. With VAR that’s good defending. DONT BE FOOLED.
He was really good on the ball, few times he took it under pressure and broke the press. DID NO ONE SEE THIS??
Agree with Howson (which I don’t always do) here.

I’m not sold on Collyer though…heavy touches, some misplaced easy passes. Still a bit too green atm for me. Loan would be good this season

[Nametaken]

On Point 4. What a lot of people dont get is if you can develop Collyer as a squad player for us for the next 2-3 years, then sell him at £30-40m to a mid table prem club, after a young english player with potential and its pure profit on PSR. We should be using our academy to develop player sales, as well as the first time of course.

Harry Amass
He played well 6/10 performance. Depending on what the manager wants, I think he should risk more & be brave to really cement his name as a backup to Luke.


Toby Collyer
There's alot of potential in this guy, very combative in his play looks really hungry to play for United. 🤔He still looks raw but the shear drive, attitude & will in him could see him being a 1st team red this coming season.

Rasmus
He can create something out of nothing. With the right service, feeding him from different angles he can be a 20 goal striker in the Premier league this season for sure. The injury is sad hopefully it's not as bad as we think.

Sancho
United are probably finding it hard to offload him for the right terms. Over the number of games played in preseason he doesn't look like a Man United player.

Antony
Before coming to United he was heralded for his defensive work, pressing & defending from the front @ Ajax. He was never a 20 G/A player even before he came. But what's polarising about Antony, Ten Hag gave him a lifeline last season & tried him @ Left Back. If he was wise he should've taken that opportunity & followed in the footsteps of the likes of Valencia converting from wing to Right back. Because going forward @ this level he offers very little.

Amad
He's ready, he's pissed on the right wing position & marked his territory. Him & Garnacho rotating there will give the manager 2 good alternatives.

Casemiro
While a replacement for him should be bought because of his age. He's still got something to give United. HE IS QUALITY, experienced, resilient & a leader. Teams defend as a unit & leaving him isolated infront of the defence. With acres & acres of space in midfield to essentially mop up alone tactically is not wise. Replace Rodri with Casemiro @ United & he'll all of a sudden look a shadow of himself.

Leny Yoro
Kids talented hopefully a 2nd CB signing like De Ligt is made or someone else to take the pressure & scrutiny he'll receive when making a mistake. Because he's young👶& he will make a mistake. Anyway more cover is needed @ the back we can't be relying heavily on guys like Evans like we did last season.

Maguire
It's painful to watch @ times..🙈 what United are trying to do does not match what he has to offer. Feels like dejavu De Gea 2.0 . Should've taken the L & reduction in salary and moved on from United.

Scot McTominay
🤔Really misunderstood player. If an offer for 30 million & up comes then he should be sold and that money reinvested to buy a potential starter for United. But he's not a starter, the super sub box crashing role Ten hag deployed him last season fits him like a glove. A dangerous team needs different weapons in their arsenal to hurt the opponent. When used correctly he's a gem.

Mason Mount
Really exciting, looks fit, sharp & really energetic. Kobbie Mainoo can be rotated with him in that number 8 ball carrier role. While also providing cover for Bruno. Could be a really big season for Mason.

Wan Bissaka
🤔imagine him @ Arsenal with the back 4 transitioning into a back 3 as a rest defence. Do you think Ben White gets picked over him🤷🏽‍♂️. I think this guys a diamond covered in mud.

[steverito]

That Hojlund goal reminded me of Ruud in the way he protected the ball and cut across the defender leaving him no chance.

[campbelljames]

Injuries appear to be the elephant in the room this pre season. All the talk of ins and outs but how are we addressing keeping players fitter? If we don’t improve in this area it’s more of the same.

[martysmith]

I have no confidence that United will ship on Maguire, McT or Antony. I think we are stuck with them

[onouphrios]

Collyer was solid idk what games you guys watched. he covers more ground than Casemiro, is solid in possession, press resistant, dominant with/without the ball. the criticism on him is just relative to him not getting much first team minutes and he looks solid. always makes the right decisions and is extremely comfortable on the ball (similar to Kobs)

[PeteMarshall-tpih]

No apology necessary. You are the best.

[jaysonmacmillan]

Mount can play 40 odd games and give Bruno some more rest without a drop off in quality, can play inside left or inside right, play deeper. Quality footballer.

[stevecockneyamass]

I love your work and summaries honest and accurate including the young players like Harry Amass etc Amass does look very exciting especially going forward 🙏👍👏

[philtaylor]

It was fine Ste it was good to get the stadium live vibe for all us stuck at home.

[martinmoore]

Let's just hope that hojlund and yoro are both fit for the season starting we need couple more signings before the season starts

[williamjones]

Very good what you said to Amas. It should encourage him and make him more determined to grab his chance.
