Watching Yoro play today, he reminds me of Ferdinand. Diallos goal was beautiful.

You can already see that Yoro an elite player. Silky smooth, quick and barely a mistake.
Much better passing than I expected also.
Amad excellent in first half.
Mount and Collyer really impressive too.
Thought Sancho bit too casual at times but some nice moments.
Casameiro weak link to start with but grew in influence.
Thought Onana bit erratic with his passing - get Vitek in!

Wallace,
I agree with all your points. The 1st eleven that played today put in a good performance.
Wheatley played well. He showed his physical side today too.

Thanks MH - Yoro just looked really comfortable and composed, hopefully will develop into a Ferdinand or Varane type player for us. On evidence of today, won’t take long.
In second half, though Max Oyedele looked really good also, as well as Fish.
Hannibal was nothing special - needs to be sold.
Can see Collyer getting plenty of first team minutes this season also.

Yoro stood out already, very smooth, great passing technique, makes the game look easy. I thought Mount played well, helped to create Amad's goal with his pass and run to occupy defenders, and showed some leadership defensively. Sancho, on the other hand, slows the attack down every time he gets on the ball.
Wallace, I agree about second half, no one stood out besides some good work by Fish and Oyedele creating for Hugill.

Wallace,
I didn't really get a chance to see much of the second half. Oyedelle pass through to Hugill was too notch, as was the finish
Collyer looks good and I thought Murray looked decent at lb. It looks further along the path than Amass.

Amass looks talented but not physically ready yet - was too easily pushed off the ball. Agree about Murray though - thought he did really well.

I thought Oyedelle was the standout in the 2nd half. Even before the great assist, he looked strong and composed.
Again, Amass looked good going forward, but again needs to work on his defensive duties. But he's still very young. I know there was a lot of talk about him being a good squad option at the end of last season, but he doesn't look ready just yet.

Imagine yoro playing RCB and martinez LCB, both good defensively and can play forward passes.
Looking forward to the start of the season already!

I’ll love that defensive partnership for 3 matches…. until Licha loses his head and nails someone and himself and is out half the season.

FiremanC,
What are you on about.

If Oyedele was the no4 in the second half, he looked good to me, natural and assured, felt like he belonged. Yoro at 18 looks natural and assured. Where did Murray at left back come from? Not really tested but nice balance. Amass, nice touches going forward, but defensively physically light just yet and positioning needs experience. Collyer is raw but may have something, we need to get Ugarte in but give the lad Collyer some time in up coming games that will be more difficult, then we may know more.
Amad looks so much better than Antony. I spent a lot of time last season saying he should get a chance, sorry that told you so comment came out again. However, he glides with the ball very naturally, I watched him at Sunderland and he flows with the ball in control at full pace. The club was a mess when they allowed £85m to be spent on useless Antony when we had Amad, Garnacho, even Pellestri on the books.
Lastly, when we get the defence lined up it has to push up 10 yards and give Onana room, this playing around on our own goal line is nuts.

Red Man, you’ve always been telling everyone everything for years ?♂️ I think the vast majority of United fans have been clambering for Amad to get a chance, which he duly received.

They were not clamouring for Amad on here last season.

Red Man, you were not the lone voice crying out for Amad to be given a chance last season. Many people on here said they wanted to see him get a chance, they said it last pre-season, they voiced their disappointment when he got injured in pre-season, they questioned why he wasn't getting more game time when he was fit and back training with the first team, and they asked the question again after every cameo performance he made last season. No one is denying that you were one of those voices, but you were not the only one.

@madhatter - I would also like to know, strange comment.
