    Pogba is always working hard for United, whether on the pitch or off it.

    He is, we are, and he's been the standout player this tour aside from Pogba. But I never said anything to the contrary.

    I simply said his finishing is weak. Are you disgagreeing with that?

    Nah man you're right. I'm also pissed as fk so take everything with a pinch of salt.

    Thought Jones was brilliant in the second half, I do think that himself and Bailly will be the first choice pairing to start the season.

    Pogba continuing to improve. Some of the stuff he can do is just world class.
    Never been this excited about a player for Utd in years.

    One of the runs up the right side was unreal, don't know how he kept the ball in, think it ended up with a free. His range of passing was class too and he seems to be getting more intelligent on the ball and is starting to play the simple but right ball instead of trying the Hollywood passes every time. It was like a Keane/Scholes hybrid

    Valverde's comments after the game about us.
    “Obviously it hasn’t been well lately, but I mean they won the Europa League,” the Barca head coach said.

    “This year they are going to be in the Champions League. Their presence by itself is impressive. They impress.

    “I think they are going to be a really hard team to beat.

    “For me, they are contenders to win and they are going to be hard to beat in the Premier League and the Champions League.

    “I wouldn’t want to face them in the Champions League.”

    Some interesting comments from Jose

    "I think we will understand the reason in a couple of days. [Eric] Bailly is suspended for the first two matches in Europe as you know, and in the next couple of days you will have the understanding of why I am playing [Victor] Lindelof and [Chris] Smalling."

    He's hardly doing it just to improve our chances of winning the super cup? What else could it be though.

    Now maybe if Barca gave us Messi too, we might consider swapping for "Big Phil"...
    but it would be a very tough choice...

    Suarez is some rat. Diving in a friendly.

    You have to wonder what goes through this guys mind. For such a talented player he does himself no favors with his behaviour. Like what has he got to gain in a friendly by diving for a Free/Pen? Its a friendly for god sake. He lets himself and his team down with shenanians like this.

    What's people's thoughts on swapping Jones for Neymar and Messi (and cash out way), surely that's a better deal ?

    I actually think there could be something in the Jones in midfield. He could be thinking of a man marking job for him.

    Think we should steer clear of Pique, he loses his temper and head butts elbows too much, imagine the amount of reds he would get

    If that was the case, why would he not have played him in that role over the matches? And why would it become clearer in the next few days?

    True, I'm probably not thinking right due to lack of sleep :D
