6th or 7th time I've seen Depay and he's been anonymous every time.

Doesn't seem like a real footballer to me. He's talented but he kinda makes me think 'CRonaldo wannabe Sunday League player' or 'Beach footballer' whenever I see him play.

I'm sure he'll make a few defenders look foolish during the season but I wouldn't be expecting a good 1st season overall from him if I was a Utd fan (urgh)

TBF tho he is young and he should really be playing wide to give him more space

Watching Depay makes me glad we bought Sterling

Depay has talent but he's too busy trying flicks and tricks where a simple pass would suffice. He could have that coached out of him and be a very good player but TT isn't the man to do it. Plus TT in his infinite wisdom is playing him as a number 10. He will never be a no10 as long as he has a hole in his arse. Agree with silva above, he needs to be left or right attacker in a front 3.

It was a lot like watching Liverpool; Played a high press with lots of effort and running but no substance, coupled with a shit defence.

The BBC is the mouthpiece for the divine right to rule mob. Nothing negative about the Old Etonians and nothing negative about the rags.

And never anything negative about the royal family. The BBC, for all its liberal pretensions, is very much at the heart of the establishment in this country.

5 live this morning said they were "sadly" beaten by PSG.

Just seen some of van gaals post match comments, sounds like de gea will be off, excellent news... Their title challenge could well be over before it even begins.

Can't find a match report on the BBC not even on the football page. Guardian headline the match, report written by an apologist rag.

Didn't know that they played last night when woke up. Don't think talkshite mentioned the result on the news, just the turtles smartarse comments about di maria. Checked my twitter feed, just one mention from the telegraph with the result. Ladyman never mentioned the result, just that it's all about fitness, it's a preseason friendly! Compare that to how our Real Madrid match was presented and the great delight at repeating the score.

Just my luck caught the Barca game they won but missed the PSG one.

Never mind not long til the Spurs game where the sky will fall in on them. A performance from Tottenham would put some early pressure on a fourth place finish for them.

On another note after last season I'm amazed they've done nothing to improve the Smalling/Jones combo. Ah well like I really care.
