"Hayabusi didn't see Obertan coming on his back"

Phenomenal commentary!

Some of that was shameful; terrible passing; snatching at half - chances; shirking physical challenges; I don't buy this "America's too hot in the summer" lark; doesn't stop millions of UK tourists from spending 16 hours a day walking around Walt Disney World, does it?

Kudos to Kansas; they're no more American than I am (more Mexican, I think) but they know how to win!

I have been shocked at how bad Man Utd have been in this tour. The two MLS teams that they have played are two of the worst teams in MLS.

Berbatov, Obertan, Welback have been the few bright spots. Smalling and Evans have looked slow and the twins have not been much better.

Since when does ManU get overrun in midfield? Scholes and Gibson have looked off the pace which is really worrisome with the start of the season just a couple of weeks away.

People didn't travel halfway across America to see "a good work out". Not that it was a good work out, anyway. Piss poor? It was fucking shite all round. The Glazers are killing United. FFS we need to buy some quality!!

Very boring game. Some expressing actual concern above though, based on that game? are you serious???. In fairness, the majority of the team was either old (for players), young or just not first team players. We have no vida, no ferdinand, no rooney, no evra, no valencia etc. even Nani is only back after injury, and even though its against U.S. team, its an away game. It doesn't mean anything anyway and a win in that game means 1000x more to Kansas City Wizards than it ever would to United (probably a large amount of United fans have no idea it was even being played). Even if we had the normal season first team, Fergie wouldn't use them in a fixture like that. It's good for young / inexperienced players to taste defeat too, btw. They learn from their mistakes and how to cope with defeat.

Disappointing result sure, but does it make me feel in any way concerned about the health of the overall United squad? Absolutely not.

aren't some peopel overreacting just a tad? and whoever said that the heat isn't an excuse is rather thick, i have to say. none of the boys are used to being in those conditions much less PLAYING in them. the heat and the humidity is hard on them, but more than that, it's not like this team is our first XI!!!! even freakin barca lost to spurs on their preseason after winning the treble. it doesn't mean shit. obviously it's normal to be disappointed because we always want Utd to win, but a pre season loss is no reason to be "worried" or say that we dont have enough quality or some other crap.

Morning Ladies and Gentlemen

We lost the game to a goal that should not have been

Where have you heard that before?

I hope that was the beginning and the end of our bad luck - I'd rather it come now preseason and not against the likes of Chelsea/Bayern

The team was unbalanced - some of the comments are harsh - do not go out of your way to have a go at the gaffer - the whole foundation of Manchester United is built on youth

If we start abandoning those principles - we start abandoning the Manchester United way

We maybe in a jiffy with money at the moment but so are all the other clubs apart from City - but you have to hold firm in what you believe - the players are all there - they just have to show it that they are worthy of the shirt

As said earlier - Wayne Rooney said in an advert that no one owns the shirt - it has t be earned

Same application to us fans - thats the true barometer of loyalty to our club

Doesn’t matter if it’s a friendly or a practice match, United are always suppose to win it. We were poor in all aspects of the game, and keep in mind that Kansas scored a goal man down that we couldn’t match. Yeah, yeah, the goal shouldn’t have been allowed, but the minute we complain about decisions like that, we are undermining our dominance.

Poor game by United, and quiet embarrassing.

So, what say you now, SAF? Shortly you will face 19 teams 10 times stronger than grandly-named Kansas Wizards (who used their magic to make United disappear.). So your so-called young squad is OK?? Everybody except you knows Gibson, Diouf, Macheda, Rafael are not Pemier League material. And Giggs, Neville, Scholes, Van Der Sar are well past their sell-by dates and have to be replaced. Hargreaves and Ferdinand will never be the players they were.

Bloody hell -- we'd have been better with a jar of Marmite and Lassie in midfield.

I'm sick of you and Gill lying for the Glazers. You can't write this off as a pre-season work out. If we can't buy players AGAIN, we're going into decline sooner rather than later. So at least do us the dignity of helping us get rid of the parasite Glazers. Then maybe we can start to rebuild. You're starting to embarass us.

"So your so-called young squad is OK?? " --> Did you, along with every other doubter, say the same stupid shit in 1999?

"Everybody except you knows Gibson, Diouf, Macheda, Rafael are not Pemier League material." --> And everybody except you knows that when there are no injuries in first team, most of them barely get a run in Premier League....

"And Giggs, Neville, Scholes, Van Der Sar are well past their sell-by dates and have to be replaced." --> How many games did you actually watch last year????

"Bloody hell — we’d have been better with a jar of Marmite and Lassie in midfield." --> HAHAHAHAHAHA.... wonderful comedy.. but don't quit the day job... you know, as a world class coach???

"I’m sick of you and Gill lying for the Glazers." --> Yet another one-trick-pony supporter... Glazer this, Glazer that... if it wasn't for glazers, United would win every game 10-0, right????

"You can’t write this off as a pre-season work out. If we can’t buy players AGAIN, we’re going into decline sooner rather than later." --> Umm, it WAS a pre-season work out, that's what pre-season is for.... and if he had spent lets say €40 million or something and managed to snap up David Villa... he WOULDNT HAVE PLAYED LAST NIGHT....

"So at least do us the dignity of helping us get rid of the parasite Glazers. Then maybe we can start to rebuild. You’re starting to embarass us." --> No mate, just YOU!. The rest of us who have actually been proper supporters of our team for years know that Sir Alex is the absolute best asset Manchester United has and potentially ever had. It is people like you, who speak with such ignorance of the past 20 years, that embarrass United fans. You know when other team's fans say United fans are all glory hunters? They are talking about YOU and your fellow whiners.

Go back to previous tours where we've lost games or drawn games against teams we should have beaten - like the Kaiser Chiefs and then gone on to win the league that same year.

No doubt game was poor and for Wednesday they'll have to get heads out of asses and play better but, the game is hardly end of the world. Main objectives - fitness for everyone (achieved through a trying game in hot conditions) and experience for the youth (again achieved - they can learn a lot more from a loss/hard game than just walking over some random Hangzou Greentown team.
