Awful... Man Utd lose 4-2 to AC Milan - What is your INSTANT REACTION?

What is the BIGGEST PROBLEM at Man Utd right now? Did anybody impress you?

This game was a must win even though it's a friendly because of who the manager is, well that went t..s up. What the heck happened to our defence were they still on their Hols, we need a striker not any player who can go up front one who's reg as a striker, we need a LB to cover for Amass as Shaw will be done in the PL, Wilcox get your finger out.

[DELETED] Shaw looked as if he'd just come off the bus from a week long pie and pint stag do in Southend on Sea - looks 3 stone overweight to be competing in the PL more RU prop forward. Bruno and many others need the WD40 - rusty Too many coming back at the same time - no cohesiveness. Don't be surprised to see losses against Hull and Ipswich before faci

It will snowball quickly if we don't win any of our first two games. Should prioritise match-fit players over quality. Shaw hasn't been good the entire pre-season, he just flew under the radar because he wasn't bad either, until this game!

I don't know about LB but it looks like Shaw that needs replacing not Amass and Martinez and Dan Armer should be competition for Maguire as he is.calmer than Maguire

Milan were getting into our defensive area too easily. We were losing the ball too cheaply in midfield and up front, the movement was too slow, we couldn’t press, and too many players looked reluctant to make the runs. Mainoo and Rashy coming on changed the game completely. We need more players who have the hunger, intensity and mentality to win

vatsal1mo ago

Amorim literally does only one thing, which is to give the ball to his wing-backs in space, and we kept allowing that. Shaw is not dynamic enough anymore, and we pressed too incoherently. This is the wake-up call Ineos needed. WE NEED MORE SIGNINGS

granitegraham1mo ago

We need a proven defensive midfielder, to add some bite into our midfield and help protect the defence. Without one I fear United will struggle.

Shaw!! Can't run, can't defend, can't hold his position. Their winger had half the pitch to himself for those crosses.

dickyfitz911mo ago

agree with yeh about shaw if we are too compete in the premier league he cannot be our no 1 LB hes not able doesnt have the legs anymore too compete if there was a choice too replace him it would have too be lewis Hall premier league proven

dancoombs1mo ago

Oh I liked the new kit That’s about the only positive I saw!

vatsal1mo ago

Amorim's record against elite teams was better than poorer teams at Man Utd so I guess we are elite now!

stephenjholmes11mo ago

The fullbacks seem to have forgotten how to defend. We will get destroyed in the Premier League if we carry on like that. We are playing with a front 4. If they can't score/setup the goals then why are they playing for Manchester United? Lacey and Harry Amass have been far better than Amad and Shaw. Kobbie looked well off the pace.

dancoombs1mo ago

I’m worried that Shaw always seems to dip off in form when there is a lack of competition for his place

knightinwhitesatin1mo ago

I thought Amass was going to start he couldn't have been any worse than Shaw today

jonny1mo ago

Heaven, Tielemans and Rashford impressed me. Rest were off the pace and I would actually revert to the team from earlier in pre-season against Hull. At the end of the day it doesn’t matter, shame Milan aren’t in the Champions League so we won’t get a chance to avenge it!

dancoombs1mo ago

Tielemans showed lots of bright signs

dancoombs1mo ago

I just hope this acts as a wake up call for the players and the board. Sometimes without Sesko you really feel that we haven’t got a striker on the pitch

dafyddj501mo ago

What happened to our defence and Lemmens?

jihad.dinero221mo ago

Hope so too or atleast bryan and rest of the lot strap their scoring boots on tight coz last season they missed way too much open chances

adnan.riaz1mo ago

Of course, it would be against Ruben Amorim where we would lose again. 😭

jihad.dinero221mo ago

After penalty let down they never really showed much interest in the game 😤

adnan.riaz1mo ago

Agreed. Urgency just disappeared. 🥲
