Really? That's weird. Super Cups are official games everywhere else. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Yeah I'm not sure why. I can't remember who it was that was signed in the summer, played in the Community Shield, then was sold not. There was talk the sale couldn't go through because you can't play for 3 clubs in 1 year, but it was said it's not an official match so doesn't count. Seems odd to me too.

Villa in talks to sign Carlos Sanchez for £4m. Would be one of the signings of the summer at that price, was one of the World Cups better players!

Quite a bit of talk that the Community shield game might be one played internationally in the near future. Not surprised, still see the EPL becoming like the NFL with a couple of meaningful International games.

Massive signing for Villa really. More of his World Cup performances and the long wait for a DM to replace Petrov will be well and truly over!

Moyes first league game in charge was a 4-1 win away at Swansea. So if this holds up and United lose at home, van Gaal could be in trouble. United do look horrific.

Did they actually make any improvements to the squad? They look the same as they did last season...

And what is up with the formation Van Gaal is using, they look so awkward out there

Herrera looks questionable at the moment, all I've heard is praise for him. He seems to not want to be tackled too, goes over and complains every single time.

Januzaj and Young have been the only decent-ish players for United.

They signed Herrera who, as Ash mentioned, looks crap so far. The only other notable signing was Shaw, who's injured. Fletcher, Lingaard, Jones, Smalling and Blackett aren't good enough.

Stupid to play a 3-5-2 when you got rid of your 2 regular starting CBs and didn't replace either.

the player that contributes 100% of Uniteds talent on the field equalises.

I don't understand why they have players like Fletcher and Jones on the pitch, for us one can understand having duds like Muntari and the like, we don't have any actual money to spend. But United? They reportedly gave Van Gaal an unlimited budget to work with this summer and yet they still have these kind of players starting games for them, their midfield is probably worse than ours if you count Mata as an attacker.

There are top players like Khedira and Di Maria not wanted by Real, Reus has a buy out they can easily activate, they could easily improve their squad with the resources that they have at their disposal

I stand by my opinion that United last season just weren't good. Moyes should've done a better job, but the team was shite. Carried by a great manager in SAF.

The team is far worse than last year too without Vidic & Evra, even Rio is an improvement on some of those defenders.

Aside of Januzaj & Rooney in fits & starts that United team is horrendous.

Also Herrera looks bang average, but he's little & Spanish so you can't criticse.

van Gaal, record breaker. Last opening day defeat at home - 1972.

These kinds of players don't work in England IMO.

It's and well and good being technically gifted, but shying out of tackles, not really being a ball winner, lack of pace and running - you're going to get out-battled by very average players.
