Do you guys watch this game? I watched it, and yeah, Ten Hag's team needs time to build their chemistry. The result wasn't bad. But, they were against a mediocre team. It's part of Ten Hag's process of rebuilding his club. And absolutely nothing wrong with this result achieved by Manchester United in this game. The first and youth team squads needed minutes, and that’s all. United played so damn well in the first half, but the second half was boring enough to watch. I can still understand it. This is the first pre-season game, and I shouldn't have big expectations for Manchester United.
Glad to see Ten Hag is trying to give minutes to so many young players of Manchester United. It seems Ten Hag is trying to identify which young player will be able to step up into the main team. I consider this game is about a fitness for all young players of Manchester United. Vitek showed whether he is worthy enough to be considered. He deserved a clean sheet, but he was not lucky enough in that game.
This game is good enough to give cardio to the young players of Manchester United.
I won't say the team was bad in that friendly game because is like their first test of coming together as one to play and we all know some of the 1st players are on holidays after the tournament they need to rest before starting up another challenges. Ten Heg has been with the club for 3 seasons if I'm not mistaken and Manchester United is not a team of trust the project just like Pochettino do say with the Chelsea team, the fans won't be that pissed yet until the losing start coming here and there especially when the big names of the club are involved. Do you think UTD need time to build up? No I don't think so, why because they don't have it in them to build up, they only have that mentality of getting the result since they are already made and I see ten Heg as a coach they brought in to change their pattern of play not build up from scratch.
Playing the young ones is nothing new and this is the time to let them show all they have got, if they have what it takes to wear the UTD jersey and from how it is they might even forget to buy in new players if the young players are too good.
