      I’d like to see a competitive game, so I can understand how the first team squad actually looks / plays rather than a disjointed A-B team hybrid trying things out.

        Tbf, with Jesus and Zinny out it’ll still be a bit disjointed A-B hybrid. Should be a cracking game though.

            I don’t think White has warranted a drop yet. I think Tierney + White/Tomi could work well here too — City aren’t as threatening down the right imo (though still extremely threatening lol)

              I’d go for Timber on the left and White on the right - Timber seems to get the Zinchenko role and handled being on the other side fairly well against Monaco

    Wasn’t Kyle Walker going to Bayern? Any chances he’ll be in the Shield game?

      I appreciate City making sure Gvardiol cost less than Maguire. Don’t know nearly enough about either player though — most of what I saw from Gvardiol was him being beaten by Messi but then most people would be

      Apparently Haaland lite is injured, so that’s not a good sign for them lol. Feel like United really need one more striker still — Martial is simply not reliable in terms of fitness, and if they don’t have him or Højlund they’re back to Rashford up front and playing Sancho or an academy lad on the wing.

        I think it was a draw 2-2

        It’s what you’d expect with a charity game full of mostly retired players. There was a good goal by yakubu

    Not gonna deign it with a post but apparently Balogun posted him watching R9 highlights in an Inter kit on Instagram. Watch him end up at AC Milan if Mudryk is any indication /lh

    Rosiak trained with the first team today. One to look out for, even if I don’t think he’ll quite get there.
