We should have a parade around London singing, "3rd place is the new 1st place"

Loads of positives to take from today, minutes for Mason, Hugo. Winks looked assured when he was on the ball. Alli once again looked so comfortable and there can be no argument over him or Dier for United. Carroll looks like he's added to his game in the final third. Compare that with the tired displays of Cap and Pauli. Has our midfield improved over the summer, to me, yes.
Careful with that. Mind your place.
Ha! Add Crespo and Seedorf ... 2 more hall of famers. What a squad they had back then.
legendary team.
And look the shite players they played against us todayochfacepalm:
you mean when he played both Wanyama and Schneiderlin?
What a pitty Berlusconis name will forever be attached to that team/era. I hope time will tell us just HOW corrupt Italian football was in the 80ies /90ies - but I don't expect anything... Like FIFA... Sry, getting off topic.
The future is bright. If you have the time I'd watch.
Yeah, and a Liverpool team full of donkeys came back from 3-0 down to beat them in the CL final....just sayin...
Morgan Schneiderlin (French pronunciation: [mɔʁgan ʃnedəʁlin]; born 8 November 1989) is a French professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for English club Manchester United and the France national team.

You need to update his wiki, Jayc1 (and let Morgan know about his new box-to-box role).
easy:vertna:
Bright start, scored a couple of great goals splitting Milan in two. Midfielders running into the box creating havoc, dominating the game. Lloris and Mason back playing. Need to watch our high back line for off-the-shoulder runners. Trippier is a quality signing, Alli is even better. We won a trophy
The second goal is the one that gives me hope, the pass, movement and finish was superb. The first means nothing to me apart from it being a moment of individual brilliance, superb goal nonetheless. I hate to be cynical but that's how I look at it.
Who assisted the second goal? I was watching on a dreadful stream in Germany, I'm pretty sure the guy was wearing white. Glorious ball. Lamela had a frustrating game again but he shows those little glimpses of a real quality player, especially when he weights a through ball on the run from the no 10 position, probably needs to play there imo, not fast enough for the wing and probably a bit too selfish when looking for the killer ball.
Only watched the first half and we controlled a poor Milan team. Seems like not one player was over used so hopefully all will be fresh and available for selection on Saturday. At least this can give the squad some confidence rather than going into the league game after 3 defeats. It may only be pre-season but psychologically it could have an impact.
So if we change the design it could be one of the greats yeah?

Trippier sent it through to Carroll.
Thank you much. Lovely weight on that ball and a lovely finish. Really enjoyed that match against a reasonably strong Milan, watched them against Inter last week and they looked good, not so much today though.
Also, few daft (I hope tongue in cheek) comments about ENIC in this thread.
First of all. We were really really shit when they took over. Secondly, they did still own us when we were 'fantastic' and played all this wonderful free flowing football under droopy chops and got to the last 8 of the CL*. Thirdly, things have hardly gone to shit like Milan have so the comparisons are a bit daft.
Can't think of a fourthly, give me some time.
*Yes, even under Redknapp we had some utter shit performances and daft home defeats to terrible teams, it will probably never change. I mean one season, we failed to get through a Europa League group containing Shamrock Rovers, Rubin Kazan and PAOK Salonika FFS.
