On this day in 1996 - David Beckham sees Wimbledon’s Neil Sullivan off his line and floats the ball over him and into the net from the halfway line, a goal that lives long in the memory for United fans of a certain vintage - can’t believe it was 30 years go! 🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪

The city is there’s, so I’ve heard….”20,000 empty seats…..”

Liam van Nistelrooy scored for PSV U19 yesterday putting them into a cup final. 🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪 He was named after former Utd MF Liam Miller, who tragically died of cancer at just 36, which is a touch 🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪 If he becomes half the player his dad was, what a player he will be. 🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪

Reflecting on yesterday, actually glad it was what it was, hopefully the recruitment team will realise there is still a massive need for squad depth & improvements in the next 2 weeks, before the window closes, as for me, United are light in multiple areas, given the games to be played in 26/27 🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪

To all those with the negative comments im reading, United thrashed Liverpool and Madrid in the US in 2016 in pre season and then lost to Swansea on the opening day, there’s certain things that are important, and many that aren’t, cheers! 🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪

Fanbase on a meltdown on here again, during a preseason friendly, just ridiculous 👍🏼

Can’t wait to see Amorims reaction and face if rashford potentially comes on & looks slyly out the corner of his eye at him 😏, there’s been a lot said, but rashford is a United player & if he gives it his all, and for as long as hes here, I’m having him, didn’t think this would happen though tbf 🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪

Was linked with United and dead close to signing by all accounts, bless him, he would have had a chance at United, guess they will sign him for £1M in a year or too! 🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪

England youth international striker Vincent Joseph (16) has agreed to join Arsenal from Liverpool 👀👀

As things stand - American investors hold majority ownership in 55% of the Premier League (11 out of 20 clubs), and 65% of the league (13 out of 20 clubs) feature some level of American ownership or minority stake. Sorry - but this latest news of them down the M62 bringing in more Yanks is scary

United preseason snapdragon and Boyle sports cup double winners!!! 🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪 Yeah, bit much……

Read some mths ago that Carrick has been focused on creating a Utd MF in the mould of PSG, baby steps, but starting 2 see that develop towards the end of last season, & has c/fwd into preseason 4 me, blend of tactical discipline, focused on ball retention, technical quality & squad depth (2 come)🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪

Decent half from United, fletcher with a mistake, don’t mind that, will help him grow & learn, Mbeumo with an impressive half again, culminating in that double megs for zirkzees goal, love that! Love how the MF is shaping up too, not personnel wise atm but in the general set up & structure 🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪

Really good podcast with Luca Black as guest, explaining more about his decision to step down, gives a real insight of how things have regressed between the club and the FAB & FF, since Ineos came in……

This is really sad - this lad has done so much and given up his free time for years for no personal gain and to come to this decision would have been brutal for him, respect him loads, sad end man but I get it, this club is fcuking over the pure fabric that made it x.com/luca_black_/...

Understand the concerns about the investment or lack of in the ladies but hopefully that will come, but love the focus on the youth teams currently and for someone that loves watching the United academy, love what they are doing, interesting article on another potential signing ✍️ 🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪 #UTFRYR

For me the progress of Shea Lacey is just lush/immense, carrick believes, but with him there is now 3 vying for the right wing position, won’t be a 10 let’s have it right, think he could do a job on the left, an area United do need to strengthen, 🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪

Harry Maguire won every single duel that he contested vs. PSG. Absolutely love him - doesn’t matter the game

Youri Tielemans’ completed 100% of his passes and made 9 carries in the 28 minutes he played vs. PSG. Don’t want to get carried away but… 🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪

Enjoyed that - Decent test but when it comes to CL they will wipe the floor with United unfortunately, if and when it would come to the crunch. Can see what Carrick is trying to do in building a midfield like PSG’s, given time I reckon he could do. 🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪

Split second look snd Tyler fletcher is Scott mctominay-39 🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪

Fact shea Lacey has stayed on says a lot for carricks plans. Turned into a training ground or testimonial game in the second half but, he was top 1st half, this experience will have done him wonders man 🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪

That finish from Bryan just reminded me of the one in January in the Derby, different context I accept but my god was there limbs in the Stretford end that Saturday morning, beautiful 🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪

Shea Lacey in the left hand corner holding the ball and telling senior players where to move….all over that me! 🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪

Sure many that go regularly will be giving this a swerve….👀 I always thought a fanzone was for internationals and playing in other countries for safety etc….

Eye watering how behind the times United are. That this needs a special announcement too…..

For me Utd need another DMF, only currently have Santos who sits deep, Mount is full of running & an energetic press & has been roaming forward in preseason. But Mainoo & Tielemans will also want to play that roaming role, Utd can’t afford to have a disjointed MF and Santos can’t play every game

Rashfords reintegration makes some sense, no trf fee, no signing on fee, Utd need a left sided attacker, clubs 13th leading scorer of all time, on his day a world class player, BUT the wages issue could cause disruption/disharmony in the dressing room, but massive is he doesn’t want to be at Utd

Unconfirmed, but absolutely having this, the mentality needed, love it!! 🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪 During a tactical drill this week, a senior first-team player reportedly complained about the intensity of the continuous pressing triggers, suggesting the squad was being overworked before the Atlético Madrid match. 👇🏻

When the world is on the brink, just remember there is still Manchester United 🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪
