Walters_14_MuFc:
Barcelona are dominant in possession against most, if not every team they play. We obviously set up to catch Barca on the counter attack, and at times, if we worked the ball a bit better we could have had a couple of goals.
Lets look at the positives:
- We looked pretty solid at the back
- Vidic is back and looking solid
- Kagawa looked good when coming on
- Didn't concede
- No injuries
People focus too much on the negatives but never take time to think about the positives. C'mon lads, the season is starting soon. :)))

The game was ok thanks to David De Gea. I thought Valencia was awful at right back in terms of defending. The only positive thing is that Vidic is back and Kagawa seems to be the solution in the middle of the park.

yeah its sad to see our team defending 10 men behind the ball, where we could have pressed them and played a high tempo. and i dont think we played like this the other games because we were not facing a top team, and also our line up and tactic was different. Where is the fluid front 4 we are all dreaming about?? and i hope for rooney it was a one off game, his control, passing and movements were terrible today. but glad to see we have a real star in kagawa, and valencia is playing with his brain. these 2 and we could add nani and scholes were the positives from todays game.

Any team that play with barcelona will play like that.....Even real madrid(i think).......But england play like that when they face lower ranking team like ukraine or sweden....

Except England are useless, United are not.

The Ashley Young penalty was similar.
