I know we won, but on another day we could have conceded 3 or 4 at HT. The midfield still can’t retain the ball. Jed Steer has been superb.

We weren't on it first half but we were much better 2nd half.

That's because they took McTominay off at HT who ran the first.

Grealish could have played through other players twice, but held onto possession for no reason whatsoever. He did this constantly last season.

He has to play Samatta in here.

Watkins likes a diving header doesn’t he? The goal looked similar to quite a few of his from last season

Were the highlights produced by MUTV? If so, they will have been selected from their perspective. That is, the bits their fans will enjoy.

Even so, Cash was beaten time and time again down our right.  Very concerning.

Bit concerning that Cash could/would probably have been sent off for his high/rash tackle on Daniel James if it hadn't have been a friendly.

Plenty of time for Cash to come good I’m old enough to remember Ugo’s horrible  debut against Norwich

I noted with interest that Cash was replaced by Elmo.  With Guilbert sat on the bench.  I reckon he’s off.
We need to hold on to Guilbert. He should start at right back. Cash will need some time to adjust to the Premier League.

Looked like frustration at being beaten every time to me.

Looks like Cash has a lot of work to do to get up to speed. But full back is a position that you can look horribly exposed when you’re not quite at the races. I remember watching Evra when he first came to Man U and thinking he was garbage.

Trez looked to be at the heart of most of our good attacking play.

Yeah I agree, that high challenge was almost Hutton-esque!

In fairness he wasn't beaten every time - and those disguised (really good) longer balls from Beek I'd imagine would trouble most defences.

I remember that Evra debut and thinking United had been done over. Awful performance. Ended up doing OK though.

Hopefully Cash will be given the time to develop.

Yeah I agree it was poor play from Grealish - I couldn't help concluding that Grealish must not rate Samatta at all.
