THE ENGLISH GAME Podcast

Manchester United's Pre season comes to an end at old Trafford. Were draw with Rayo Vallecano. And I also talk about the community shield match between Liverpool and Manchester City and also give my predictions regarding the first week games of the 22/23 Premier league season..

Now Manchester United played Rayo Vallecano at Old Trafford and match end in an all 1 draw with goals from Adam and Garcia.

My thoughts
▪︎Cristiano Ronaldo apparently left Old Trafford before the full-time whistle
▪︎ Garnacho is a joy to watch.. Kid is dripping with confidence.
▪︎Ethan Laird also impressive.
▪︎chong needs to be sold or loaned off again his is talented don't get me wrong but his decision making is questionable.
▪︎Donny got 90 minutes under his belt and didn't disappoint, nothing flashy but solid..
▪︎Varane captain United
▪︎Eriksen and Martinez got there debuts at Old Trafford, yes I know it was a friendly but they got to play with 75k fans watching that's amazing.
▪︎ 17-year-old Isak Hansen-Aarøen made his debut
▪︎ Amad got a goal.
▪︎Tom Heaton is a good back up goal keeper.
▪︎Benni McCarthy signs for Manchester United as the First Team Strikers Coach
▪︎Okay.. that's that next up is Brighton at Old Trafford. I wonder who Erik Ten Hag will pick as his first 11 for that game.
