UEFA Super Cup: United 1 v Real 2

United XI: de Gea, Valencia, Lindelof, Smalling, Darmian, Matic, Herrera, Pogba, Mkhitaryan, Lukaku, Lingard

Bench: Romero, Blind, Carrick, Mata, Martial, Fellaini, Rashford

Real XI: Navas, Carvajal, Ramos, Varane, Marcelo, Casemiro, Modric, Kroos, Bale, Isco, Benzema

Bench: Casilla, Fernandez, Hernanez, Kovacic, Ronaldo, Asensio, Vazquez

----------------------------------------------

Venue: Philip II Arena, Skopje, Macedonia
Referee: Gianluca Rocchi

Let's win our first trophy of the season boys!

Pre-Match Comments: Expecting to play more defensively to protect our new boy, Lindelof. Hopefully, he will be able to prove to us that his pre-season tour was a fluke. I would like Herrera to play the ball forward more. I think his work rate will throw off Kroos and Modric.

HT Comments: Good to see some glimpse of positive football in the opening 10 minutes. Had to step out after the goal, WHICH WAS OFFSIDES BTW, came back and saw some would be good crosses in by Valencia if it weren't 5 feet behind everyone most of the time. We are still in this, no need to panic right now.

SUBS:
Rashford ON Lingard OFF
Fellaini ON Herrera OFF

Asensio ON Bale OFF
Lucas ON Isco OFF
Ronaldo ON Benzema OFF

Real Madrid 2
Manchester United 1
FT

Deluded if you don't think Liverpool, Arsenal or Spurs would rather win the League cup and Europa than come 3rd, 4th, or 5th again with nothing.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't see many of them caring about those competitions tbh.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Liverpool cared enough to reach the final the season before
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Don't think they were overly devestated they didn't take it home, it's not the cl.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Don't really know what to say to that
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Well it's accurate it's not a top prize 🀷🏻‍♂️

Sort of like losing the community shield
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah, the Europa is on a par with the Community Shield.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No it's not. The UEFA Super Cup is a major trophy.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What? Stretty was on about the Europa Cup.
And in case it went over your head, I was being sarcastic.

When the prize money for the alleged League Cup doesn't hit 7 figures, I think the UEFA Super Cup is rated higher since the prerequisite was to win one of the European trophy available.

It's a glorified friendly.

In no way does it compete with an actual trophy you have to play through rounds to get.

Must be an American thing to judge it on money. Weird.

I rather win the Super Cup than a League Cup regardless of what the prize money is. I'm using that as one of the reason why I think the League Cup is actually mehhhhh to me.

If you win the Super Cup, we can conclude that you've won one of the major European trophy available. That's a pretty goo achievement, no?

Could say the same about the community shield on the sense you've won an English trophy

It's still a glorified friendly and in no way competes with an actual tournament trophy.

Agree to disagree.

The EFL Trophy just doesn't have the prestige anymore.

Now that United got smacked up the downside by Madrid they embark to degrade the cup. Typical post-Fergie United fans for you.
