Welcome back Wayne
Utd really rip off their fans. I can't believe that any sensible person would put up with this crap.......
"They do not know who they are playing against or even when the match will take place - but Manchester United have already charged fans for their Champions League qualifier.
Season ticket holders at Old Trafford were notified via email that funds would be taken from their accounts on Wednesday and Thursday for the clash against yet-to-be-decided opponents next month."

I'm pretty sure that as part of their season ticket agreement it is mandatory for Manure fans to purchase Champions League tickets.
It is also the same with the FA Cup; League Cup is slightly different whereby they can 'choose' to opt-out if they so wish.
While it may make 'sensationalised' headline reading it is really just the club following their season ticket policy - same as many big clubs do.
If you want one then you agree to it I guess. If you do not agree then don't get a season ticket.
Interested to hear that Rojo did not travel to USA because of "passport issues".
There Was a big story here last year that Rojo had a very serious assault charge advancing against him for an outside of football related issue and it was taken care of via a large pay off.
In the light of certain Loretta Lynch related events, I would not advise that walking ink sponge creamer to have too many unnecessary visits to the USA.
Could that have been the passport issue?

More significant than this first ever pre-season defeat for Manchester Unitedunder Louis van Gaal is the question of how prepared David De Gea is for the coming campaign.
United have no more matches before their Premier League opener against Tottenham Hotspur on 8 August at Old Trafford. So when De Gea was taken off at half-time, his competitive-minute count on the tour ended at 107. Whether or not this was because of injury, the bottom line remains that little more than a full match is hardly ideal. Especially as De Gea is the United No 1 whose future remains unclear as he could still leave for Real Madrid.
What this means is that Van Gaal has a first-choice custodian who could be under-cooked and unsettled going into the coming term. The sense of disarray within United’s goalkeeping ranks is heightened by Victor Valdes being persona no grata for refusing to turn out for the reserves last year. Van Gaal wants the Spaniard out of the club.
Meanwhile, the manager’s No3 keeper, Anders Lindegaard, has played only 45 minutes on tour. Sergio Romero, the recently signed No2, is yet to don a United shirt in anger. In Sam Johnstone, then, Van Gaal has a fourth-choice goalkeeper who replaced De Gea here in Chicago and whose 208 minutes gives him the most of the four he can choose from.

@Ian_Ladyman_DM: Chris Smalling & Phil Jones will fight for one place on opening day after LVG revealed Shaw, Darmian and Blind will definitely start. #mufc
Slightly surprising, Smalling was probably the best Utd defender towards the end of last season and yet the Jones/Blind combo has been preferred so far in preseason. Given Rojo hasn't played any games so far after apparently forgetting to renew his passport, guess he will be playing with the U21s until his fitness is back up.

don't think Jones will be preferred after last nights 'handling' of Zlatan.
On the basis of that we can expect a bid for Stones from Utd by tea time.

Blind had been playing LCB throughout pre-season, LVG seems keen on playing a left footed player in the role whenever he can. Think he might be a bit small to play it in the league but guess we'll see.

That's a terrible defence. If they don't add to it, AND lose De Gea, then I see another poor season from them.
De Gea was amazing, he covered up for that defence so much and it was particularly impressive when he was managing to do it with a different pair of CBs in front of him for every game.
His lack of game time in preseaon is odd if they are confident (as publicly stated) that they aren't selling him without getting Ramos in return especially as he has looked off his best and needed minutes.
Enjoyed this write up of Man Utd's preseason, just quoted the "playing catch-up" part.

To 'lose' one Argentinian was unfortunate. For United to find themselves without two smacked of carelessness.Neither Angel Di Maria nor Marcos Rojo took their flight to San Jose last weekend. LVG said on Wednesday that he didn't even know where forward Di Maria was, as PSG coach Laurent Blanc indicated talks over the winger's transfer to Paris were "close to the end". Rojo's passport, though still in date, was not valid for entry into the United States.
Jonny Evans did make it, but might not have been missed even if he had not. At 27, with 198 first-team appearances behind him, Evans now appears to be behind fellow Northern Irishman Paddy McNair in Van Gaal's defensive pecking order. Old Trafford insiders say the centre-back still has a future at the club. They did not say what as.
Chris Smalling, Juan Mata and Ashley Young almost certainly will be, but that trio may not wish to analyse Van Gaal's treatment of them too closely. Smalling, who signed a new contract three months ago, looks like being the victim of Van Gaal's desire to pair right and left-footed central defenders together. That the manager got Smalling's first name wrong when the pair were sat together at a press conference does not imply the 25-year-old is uppermost in his thoughts. Mtat and Young were criticised within the outline of Van Gaal's argument that he United need more speed and creativity. As his manager bluntly pointed out, Mata "does not have high speed". Young's contract expires in 2016 and the club have shown little inclination to renew it.
Marouane Fellaini is paying the price for the red card at Hull on the final day of last season that rules him out of the opening three games of this campaign. The Belgian's involvement was restricted to 28 minutes against Barcelona.
Of the new arrivals, Bastian Schweinsteiger is the one who disappointed. The German World Cup winner looked short of fitness in the first two games, missed the third through injury and was substituted at half-time in Chicago when he faded following a bright start.
