Van Gaal confirmed at the pre-match press conference that he’d be deploying the same second-half lineup for tonight’s match as he did for the tour opener against Club America in Seattle. That means we should be seeing the following team shortly: Johnstone; McNair, Smalling, Evans, Blackett; Bastian, Herrera; Lingard, Pereira; Januzaj, Wilson.Van Gaal confirmed at the pre-match press conference that he’d be deploying the same second-half lineup for tonight’s match as he did for the tour opener against Club America in Seattle.

How about this! A monster of a run by Shea Salinas, who beats a gambling Morgan Schneiderlin and scurries with the ball along the goal line long enough to find 21-year-old Fatai Alashe, who takes advantage of Phil Jones being woefully out of position and sweeps it into the back of the net.

The ball falls to Memphis Depay, who – presuming he didn’t in fact score tonight’s first goal – now surely has his first goal in the Manchester United shirt.Pressure from Rooney leads to an abysmal giveaway from a San Jose defender deep in the Earthquakes’ own final third.
