United friendly today

[Nori1958]

Apparently we won

[Rowls]

Massive sense of deja vu over this!

[NewClaret]

Good stuff, although we did win an early season friendly vs United and that didn’t really translate to the premier league

[IanMcL]

And then it is gone

[ClaretTony]

3-1 I understand

[Spike]

I was hoping our traditional January win at Manchester would be at the Emptyiad

[NewClaret]

3-1 I understand

Any idea on teams or scorers Tony?

Sorry,looks like this may have been earlier this season but there are some Twitter reports saying todays game was also 3-0.

[giveusaB]

Sorry again,no score mentioned.Its late,I’m off to bed

Yes, because sometimes I've known about them in advance.

Exciting times.

UTC!

Just a pity we can't beat them when it really matters. The MU side we played earlier in the season was imo their worst I can ever remember seeing and I go back to the early 60's.

[South West Claret.]

Why do clubs not mention all friendlies whenever they take place these days.

Yesterday’s game I believe was 3-1

[Guller Bull]

I would guess that it was not so much a friendly as in pre season warm but more of a behind closed doors try out fringe players or trialists that doesn’t need to be in the public domain. Might be wrong but it would seem sense.

[FCBurnley]

Sadly it means nothing

[Blatherwickstattoo]

Benson hatrick I’m hearing

[Paul Waine]

Benson hatrick I’m hearing

And, Southampton invited to watch the game.

[Blatherwickstattoo]

I’d be very very disappointed if we let benson go. He’s the only player we have who can create something from nothing in a team that is the worst in the final third in the league. Baffling

Not sure it's baffling when he's hardly played this season

[Blatherwickstattoo]

Purely on what he has available in his locker. We don’t have anyone else like him.

I'm not ruling out that we won't get something in the return fixture. As you say they're not a great side (although I'd say more just unstable than weak), IF we can get a couple of key positional additions and/or get things to click like they did last season, we can get a proper result off them.

Not quite - two for JBG and one for Amdouni might be closer

Yep. Utd were very, very poor.

[ClaretFelix]

Aren't Uniteds first team squad over in Dubai?

[StayingDown4Ever]

I think they could be. Some big names missing for them yesterday.

[Nori1958]

Back preparing for this weekends cup game...

Man U's goal was a penalty - bloody VAR again

It's baffling why he's hardly played this season.

[Nori1958]

It's baffling why he's hardly played this season.

I think injuries had something to do with it
