00:00...in will to right the wrongs of last season.
00:08Philip Lins' story is an interesting one.
00:10Away on loan last year, back into the side at half-time at the weekend.
00:15Instantly on the score sheet.
00:17And now he will lead Bournemouth out.
00:22That is Cunha in the mid-distance there.
00:25Not involved for United today.
00:27The supposition was that he would play.
00:30But...
00:32Fatigue is given as the formal reason for his absence.
00:36Both from the 11 and indeed the list of substitutes.
00:51There he is.
00:52An onlooker when he might have been a central figure.
00:57And so they emerge...
00:58...into a blustery Chicago night.
01:04Uplifted by a raucous Illinois welcome.
01:09Manchester United daring cautiously to...
01:12...taste a soup saw of summertime optimism.
01:15Turning a page, moving on.
01:18...
01:19Bournemouth intending again to defy the natural order of things...
01:23...and to dance with the stars.
01:26And so, Tim, the teams.
01:32Manchester United first.
01:33Well, Tommy, my former teammate from nearly 20 years ago...
01:37...still going strong, which is so impressive.
01:39A back three.
01:40They'll work as a real tight unit.
01:42Left to right, front to back.
01:43The fullbacks, Dorgu and Dalo.
01:45They'll get up the pitch.
01:46Create the whip.
01:47We talked about Bruno Fernandes.
01:48Partner in Casemiro sitting deeper.
01:50Ahmed, he wants the left footer on the left side.
01:52Mount the right footer.
01:53Gets a real good opportunity to impress.
01:55And Hoyland, so important, he gets off to a good start.
01:58And Bournemouth, half the team changed as well.
02:00Yeah, again, back four.
02:02We know that's Irola, how he likes to play.
02:04Petrovic, the new number one, gets his second start of the summer series.
02:08James Hill's an interesting one.
02:09He told us he can play either centre-back or sixth.
02:13First game as a centre-back, now as a sixth.
02:15The partner, Tavernier.
02:16And listen, this front four, they aggressively press and they go after you.
02:20They're going to cause trouble tonight.
02:22And the names that leap off the list of subs for you?
02:25Well, I think for United, Ugarte, Diego, Lyon, we saw, had a nice little cameo.
02:30And, of course, Kobe Maynou, real good options.
02:33David Brooks, Tyler Adams, Adam Smith on the other side.
02:35If they come on, real options.
02:37But do remember that Bournemouth had changed their entire team by the end of Saturday's
02:42game against Everton.
02:44And Manchester United made ten changes all at once against West Ham in the second half.
02:51Handshake ahead of a contest which, no question, in recent times, Bournemouth have had much
02:55the better of.
02:57Successive 3-0 wins at Old Trafford.
02:59They've taken four points from Manchester United in each of the last two seasons.
03:07Side alteration in the dynamic of the English refereeing team that you see there.
03:17Tom Bramall was in the middle for United West Ham on Saturday.
03:20Tonight he's fourth official.
03:22And Lewis Smith, one of the younger referees in the English Premier League, takes the whistle.
03:27He had charge of Bournemouth's last game of last season against Leicester.
03:31So it is and remains a familiar Manchester United line-up without any fresh blood in it at all.
03:51And as Miss Hoyland continues at number nine.
03:54In addition to the big picture purpose of the whole exercise, here is a contest not short of
04:17immediate term incentive simply put the winners here will be best placed on
04:24Sunday in Atlanta to lift the Summer Series trophy
04:30that was grander issues of course lie ahead that would put wind into anyone
04:38sail at the launch of a new campaign
04:42Bournemouth last year were a remarkably coherent squad very much together even in the absence
04:49for the second half of the campaign of a guy who looks as though he's going to be central this
04:55time that is Philip Billings Abani is back in at centre-half Tim's already mentioned that
04:59James Hill slips up into midfield
05:02where he will play alongside perhaps just behind
05:08captain billing and Bruno Fernandes another captain whose position is altered Mason Mount
05:15over his shoulder there will be over the shoulder of Rasmus Eiland in combination with Ahmad
05:21so the wind blows and Manchester United and Bournemouth are at it Soldier Field Chicago
05:30a grand historic venue Harry Maguire back in from the start the centre of Manchester United's defence
05:41the goal to keep it alive and to get it back from Fernandes
05:45miss Ahmad Hoyland is through the middle he's made good progress
05:51sure how he yearns for an injury-free campaign
05:58my man Casemiro
06:01Yoro one of the survivors from Saturday's starting side
06:06head away by Sinezi
06:09Casemiro Fernandes
06:12knocked upon by Solaire who is penalised Peter I spoke to Harry Maguire just before the game and thought the blustery
06:19conditions actually might make for a quicker game because sometimes these teams in summer
06:23series they pace themselves a little bit because of the heat we know you can't make
06:26these multiple long runs hopefully we'll see that today and obviously United
06:30starting out on the front foot Mason Mount we saw him in warm-ups delivering some
06:35really really good balls this is obviously going to be a bit of an outswinger
06:38and a first potential test of the day for a Georgie Petrovic on what has not been a
06:46happy day for goalkeepers up to now a couple of significant errors in the West Ham
06:51Everton game that preceded this one of them at least potentially attributable to this
06:57blustery wind
07:00Amad
07:04gathered in by Djokovic Dalo Dalo against Watara and behind for a corner
07:08it's good block in the end from Watara Dalo we know delivers a good ball from that
07:14wide that wide area and even now you look there's a there's a talking to you there
07:19with Dalo and Fernandes don't mind that
07:23you can see that you can see that the wind against their jerseys really going to
07:28have to pay attention defensively here
07:32mount without swing no connection in the middle talking catch the life
07:41I'm sure back to what he was Tim in the case is a long-term servant of Manchester
07:50United though much of his career was spent elsewhere
07:53went into his 40th year now he's never played a Premier League game for United
07:59his most recent competitive first team games in the League Cup the early weeks of
08:052023
08:06by Euro touched on by Hoyland out of the reach of Djokovic Dalo I gotta say I echo those
08:15thoughts about Tom Eaton what an incredible servant to the club my first my first year at
08:20Manchester United back in 2003 and we drove me into training before I had my
08:24British driver's license so I have him to thank for a lot
08:28that is remarkable he he he last played a Premier League game actually for Aston Villa Burnley on New
08:37Year's Day 2020 he suffered a horrible ACL injury from which he was never really afforded the time and
08:46opportunity because of his advancing years properly to recover and rehabilitate his career but he remains a viable and competent option for United
08:57and United got to deal with this over and over because what Bournemouth do is they press the ball really well in packs they hunt together
09:04they hunt together
09:06out for talking
09:08Bruno Fernandes Mason Mount Bruno Fernandes pounded away by Petrovic who falls at the feet of Hoyland
09:15Petrovic is a little bit lucky there puts it right back into the mix
09:20in the end gathers comfortably
09:25Zabani
09:27picked off by Maguire
09:29was hounded by Evan Nielsen
09:32Billing collects
09:35Casemiro intervenes Fernandes
09:38Bournemouth gets away with one there
09:41because really they're on the attack and they should be doing better
09:44well there is Matias Cunha as you see not dressed for action at all he is merely a spectator there was a lot of promise it was felt generally to him in the relationship he seemed to strike up with Bruno Fernandes in the first game
09:57excite he excites me for so many reasons we talk about that Maverick type presence he'll take so much of the pressure off of Bruno Fernandes he really likes to be ball aggressive and get get on the ball and whether he has to drop deep go wide he can look for and he has that license he's a special player
10:13and there is the option two
10:18which Manchester United might be rehearsing of him potentially on occasion playing through the middle that's the central striker
10:24yeah I think he can do that as well particularly in this system
10:29oh you're clashing with Sanasi Mount picking up pieces Soler going to ground it's a Bournemouth free kick
10:34yeah Manchester United fans and manager aren't happy but really that's just a coming together
10:42you see there Hoyland backing in
10:45he gave as good as he got no no real foul on that I think the referee ends up getting that right
10:51not much this he could do
10:54by Wattara
11:03Tavernier had a really good game the other day in New Jersey Semenyo who was late into that game
11:08Araujo took away a man outside of him here's Billy
11:13Araujo
11:15it's actually a moment really where you don't want the overlap
11:18Araujo comes and brings the defender and Semenyo has Luke Shaw out of the left center back slot really wants to go at him
11:27but because Araujo gets around the side he's got to kind of pull back and recycle the ball
11:32he's got to look a little on that he's got to play
11:35out of the right
11:37you've got to get down of the right
11:47now he's got to play a little bit of play
11:48now they're pressed so it's actually quite a decent little spell
11:49now they're pressed so it's actually quite a decent little spell
11:53they won't have a ton but a few of those and now they try and press the ball back well done
11:57manchester united just being patient being available in spots now they can create the tempo
12:12casemira well read by hoyland by dallo some awkward bounce for watara
12:18i'm not sure it was meant for hoyland but he does well just to read it and note
12:26he gets a piece of it can put him on onto the attack but that was a really good visual of what
12:32the formation is it's a back three and then dallo essentially becomes a winger he goes all the way
12:36onto the front line now ahmed drops in mount drops in to try and get the bits and pieces to create the
12:43spacing
12:48come on patrick
12:50talking
12:52to walk his room side and hoyland met it deftly
13:00rasmus hoyland with a deliciously feathered header to establish a lead for manchester united
13:13well you just see yeah i actually thought i actually thought it was a shot at first when
13:17he comes on the inside to his right foot it's his weaker right foot though so he's putting it in an
13:21area and hoyland has really been sharp at the beginning of this game and he said just feathers it
13:27in it doesn't need much he knows all it is is a glance just has to help it on you get a really good
13:34look at it here there's not much in this for hoyland just touch it in and beats petrovic absolutely gives
13:42him no chance and boy does hoyland need that he's off to a good start this preseason his movement is
13:47sharp he looks good looks really confident it's a moment off which he can feed
13:54so young so eager so much to achieve his currency needs to be goals he actually scored against
14:03bournemouth in april a 96 minute equalizer which lifted some significant pressure off his team
14:12on that occasion against what then was a 10-man bournemouth team
14:16and now in chicago illinois he comes up with uh a really adept header and the fact and the fact of
14:26the matter is he he gets himself in good positions and and if he was honest he's been honest over the
14:31last year he hasn't been prolific but he knows that he's a striker he's hungry he's greedy he's
14:36going to want to get amongst the goals this is a good start for him
14:45tavernier caught on it by casemiro taken up by yorup
14:50looked away by solaire
14:54tavernier
14:56as we're holding back
14:59smith might want to work the bournemouth players are around him
15:06as much as we would expect bournemouth to be aggressive in the midfield
15:13i think united have come out and shown that aggression as well
15:16but bournemouth will fancy themselves in those moments there when they break
15:19ken casemiro and bruno fernandez have the legs to get about and get across and defend
15:25the right side of the ball and then that in that moment they didn't have to give away a foul
15:28the right side of the ball 10 minutes in tavernier's free kick for bournemouth
15:35has taken one club too many
15:39certainly certainly one club too many i was surprised there that was kind of set up for
15:42one of those just clips to the back post everyone from manchester united was back and
15:47maybe he headed back across but he went for in swinger and just a bit too too long
15:52really engaging character we had time with him the other day good day for his uh big brother james
15:58as well who plays for glasgow rangers very big club in the scottish football who
16:05have got through champions league qualifying they've had a very good two-legged win over
16:09panathinaikos one of the mighty clubs of greece
16:11just one or two passes not coming off for both teams a little bit over eager just there in that
16:34moment as well but they're trying they're trying to hurry the game up it's a little bit of a fast
16:39tempo which would you see it start at the start of games particularly in pre-season they want to
16:43impress as the game starts to settle in you'll see some of those connections another example there
16:56he wasn't comfortable with the back pass on what might be a slightly uncertain surface and
17:02as frequently mentioned through the first game and indeed at the start of this
17:06in the blustery conditions which are the enemy of a goalkeeper he made the right decision it was a
17:14spicy back pass saw it hit a bobble there just in front of him you don't like it get rid of it
17:19and i have to defend though unfortunately a long throw james hill to coil up and go long
17:24and he does get good distance on that and towards sanasi away by hoyland collected by solaire sifted out for
17:32bruno fernandez and now amad could run
17:37and tabanir ran faster he had a yard or two to make up and make it up he did
17:41back to bruno fernandez great foot race from both players really well done from tabanir casemiro
17:59going back to that hoyland goal tim we as i mentioned were so fortunate to get close to manchester united
18:06training and uh i was watching hoyland do some finishing and in training he was so relaxed so
18:13certain and was nailing it time after time and that the difference between that and the big match
18:20moment is so evident in his case isn't it so the goalie score will mean an awful lot to him in that
18:25context no that's the difference between the top strikers all of these guys have such precise skill
18:30and they can do it in those moments particularly in training it's really impressive it's in the big
18:34moments in the game when it really counts it sets you apart from being a good striker and a great
18:39striker and he's trying to become a great striker it's also that self-belief because i tell you what
18:48doubt is easy to creep in particularly from the outside he needs to stay strong stay sharp both
18:53mentally and physically and he's showing that this preseason
18:55as young shoulders have a big load to bear
19:05talk of manchester united targeting benjamin sesko
19:10find young striker at uh i'll be leipzig in the german bundesliga
19:14there's gossip around ollie watkins of aston villa too though villa have made it clear that he's not for
19:21sale for now for now yeah well look you don't get the luxury at manchester of just having your place
19:26you have to earn it they're always going to be bringing in big players at every position and you
19:31have to keep fighting and enjoy competition for places beautiful ball movement from mount for
19:37fernandez who couldn't take it on love a little bit of football there through the middle of the pitch
19:46well let's go yeah let's go let's go let's go let's go let's go let's go let's go
20:00as much as you i continue to talk about the turnovers and the misplaced passes the ideas are there
20:06you can clearly see what both managers want the players have the right ideas the executions
20:11slightly off as that comes as the game settles down it'll be a much more fluid
20:15movement through the midfielder
20:19togu
20:21amad
20:35snatched by billing by tavernier rolled up towards simenio shore lengthen his
20:40stride that's a terrific fetch from the united's left-sided defender
20:46really good defending peter i just thought that the foot race was on i thought simenio 100 was
20:51going to get there and nearly did but good angle from shaw really really good defensive angle
21:00for luke shaw's successive injury hit seasons which oddly enough given that he barely played
21:07in either of the last two campaigns each ended in a major final he got fit just in time for
21:12england at euro 24 and of course he also played the europa league final for manchester united right
21:18at the climax of last season but he has missed the core of two successive campaigns if united can keep
21:26him fit and he's just illustrated the sort of contribution defensively he could make
21:33hoyland he understands the football club he's honest he said that the injuries have been so tough
21:43he has been a good servant to the football club he understands how the back line he can play in a
21:47he can play in a three and he can play in a four which makes him really vital to the manager if he
21:52wants to change things
21:59to play by a rao he comes up on the ball a rao
22:02the goal from the start tonight after uh being held back because of his involvement in the gold cup
22:09the same competition which uh has affected tyler adams involved with two tyler adams
22:17for american viewers interested to gather if you haven't already is on the bournemouth bench
22:26like he and tyler adams had a really fantastic summer for the u.s men's national team and a
22:31bournemouth are missing him but will they get him back it just adds a different little balance to that
22:35midfield and a bite he's got a real bite about it
22:41toky
22:47dealing did enough and ace did more
22:53from the choir
22:55so i have to say casemiro tries some very clever balls around the corner of midfield and when
23:08they come off they look great but when they don't oftentimes start the attack and the press for
23:13bournemouth he has to be really careful there
23:15so they had fistfuls of amad
23:24and bournemouth want the foul on the beginning come on you see there he started to kind of get
23:30get the grips with him in the end it was a foul absolutely and maybe the lions would
23:34miss the first one but he's letting him play
23:36just another example there of casemiro you can see i'm looking at him on the pitch and he's
23:57looking up to the sky and clapping his hands and he's just he's a little bit frustrated and maybe in
24:02these moments particularly with the wind and the driving rain maybe we maybe you don't try too
24:06many of those you keep it simple he's experienced enough to know if he just keeps it simple connects
24:11past to a red shirt that that temple will be created
24:19some lazy and then billing keep fernandez from it and tim has just hinted and you've seen with your own
24:27eyes a meteorological update is worth offering here because the blustery wind now has quite
24:33substantial rain caught up in it too that is what the forecast was for this evening there was a bit
24:39of thunder and lightning earlier in the day that passed but uh the wind is ripping through this place
24:48well peter it's the windy city so it's to be expected
24:52it is moving in that regard right up to expectation here's watara
25:01watara delo did well to keep his arm out of the way watara again
25:06sifted it behind
25:09watara does so well to control this ball
25:14love a little weighted pass there from tavernier but give dallo credit
25:18stays with it blocks across it's a good fullback really good fullback play there
25:22as i mentioned kept his arm out of the way and in the end again ball goes a little bit wide
25:29it's a very similar circumstance actually the other day against everton that watara got his goal
25:34at the expense of uh evidence nathan patterson
25:41back of sanesi
25:44just to dwell on the weather you won't be surprised to hear that any suggestion of a
25:48the drinks break in this first half has vanished official word has come through that there won't
25:54be a warm weather break because the weather's not that warm
26:04and listen i i mentioned earlier this will be this will be a breast of fresh air for these players
26:09they won't mind the rain they're used to it
26:12will actually probably settle them into the game this could be old trafford in october goodness
26:18too right casemiro bruno fernandez hoyland bruno fernandez
26:25nice amount none too pleased thought he got held back in the end i thought the referee got it just
26:36right but they wanted to foul it's promising attack this is a good look at the formation as you see this
26:44three across the back three across midfield and then three up front as they try and go press that
26:48ball which then pulls luke shaw out of the slot
26:54by shore at the back of semino
26:59massive contributed to almost excellent season last year 11 premier league goals
27:06including strikes home and away against manchester united and there's semino again
27:10i do think he can go he can go even better this year you know this is a player who as he grows and
27:20get you get those 11 permanently goals he has to set his targets so much higher because he is that type
27:25of player and and and having those type of seasons of production under his belt he'll want more he'll
27:31get the confidence that he knows he can do it look he's for me when he gets the ball and drives at
27:35defenders i get out of my seat and there's so few players that do that and he's one of them
27:43you saw the conditions in the crowd there there are a few with those waterproof ponchos threatening to
27:47take off
27:52comfortable viewing it is not these are hardy souls
27:59thrilled at the prospect of seeing their heroes from across the pond
28:05and as we get midway through the first half here
28:20born with down the goal i'm interested to see how they press the ball now because they really they
28:24want to try and get back in the game without not taking too many risks being aggressive when the ball
28:30turns over so lazy tavernier
28:39and this is good they never mentioned it a little bit early they need to enjoy these moments
28:43pass the ball around create tempo not succumb to the press
28:47like that like that so they're just about kept hold
28:54tavernier
28:57by euro
28:59dorku fernandez so comfortable even under pressure in possession and here he is again
29:17that's good for manchester both teams are in such a hurry to make something happen
29:34fell by billing at the back of casemiro
29:36have to say bill has been putting himself about doesn't mind sticking a foot in
29:44physical strong we're right up close to him i couldn't believe how tall he was and
29:49and rangy it's it's it's impressive and he has a lot of tools in his locker
29:53that's good forward by mount taken on here by patrick doggo
30:00two
30:03manchester united ease away in the driving lane of chicago
30:08uh
30:18i just think physically you have to be so much stronger here
30:23ball is played over the top it's for sharing and honestly arajo just gets edged off
30:29this absolutely should be a goal since he can't get back across
30:36arajo when that ball is for sharing you have to be stronger have to be more physical
30:41just slaps it off the turf actually ends up doing the goalkeeper petrovic
30:47because he hits it into the ground but for manchester united really good goal to go up 2-0
30:52so a great night so far for the scandinavians hoyland and now the young danish fullback patrick
31:00dogoo who has never scored a competitive goal for united his last was for leche at venezia in november
31:09of 2024 but he has a summer series goal here via which united have doubled their lead
31:17and within the context of this competition itself never mind the big picture the preparation for the
31:25season that lies ahead as i mentioned at the start whoever wins this game is in position a1
31:32to win the whole competition and we all reconvene in atlanta georgia on sunday bruno fernandez
31:40even in moments and just watch it you can feel the energy peter even in moments goals change games
31:47it's really incredible how manchester united it was a little bit of a lull after the 1-0 and then
31:52they score and they go again and you can just feel it it's electric you feel throughout the team
31:57and i talked about how bournemouth build to try and get back in the game now they need to be a little
32:13bit more careful because the careless giveaways in midfield if this goes 3-0 then it's a really big
32:18problem they can build try and get themselves back in the game create some chances and oftentimes bournemouth
32:23do that not just by their possession but by the reaction in transition they're so aggressive when
32:28they press which is one of the which is one of the real positives for them so they can stay switched
32:32on not be kind of demoralized by that second goal they can try and get that one goal back just to give
32:39give them an opportunity
32:51billy
32:59hill
33:09and manchester are making it difficult in these moments and like easy comfortable
33:19possession for bournemouth here united are pressing with three making it really really tough then they
33:25get out and ilsen has not seen a lot of the ball in the areas he really wants it to keep it then
33:34sabani it's always a telltale sign when that striker comes deeper and deeper and deeper to try and get
33:39that ball because it's star of the service and i don't mind in that situation what tara wants to take
33:44take on tallow and he made himself a yard tomorrow was supporting well
33:54casemiro caught on it by billing
33:56i think he's just i think he's just offside maybe the replay hotel is different but
34:11billing it gets his head up really good here
34:14yeah it's close it's a good line though you can see his shoulder arm offside good run good pass good
34:21finish just doesn't get to run perfectly timed but again that's a good passage of play
34:27where did it come from peter they pressed they pressed they pressed casemiro they got around the ball
34:31buzzed about won the second tackle and then the ball breaks
34:36well lance once the menu is asking the question we saw the replay it was certainly tight
34:41had var been operational here it would have been
34:46called in semi-automated offside and all that will be
34:50talking in those terms in a fortnight or so when the premier league returns
34:55it's uh it's worthy of conversation he certainly thinks so what do we think tim
35:01well it's it's tight i think he's just off i think the the badge on his arm the shoulder
35:07might be off but again without var and semi-automatic automatic
35:13offside it's really tough to say it's tight though i absolutely agree with him
35:16and it came as he knows and as you've observed off the back of a really sweet passage of ball
35:27movement from gormouth but it counts for nothing
35:31it's just sideways and it lets him let him off the hook there but so sideways backwards passes
35:48particularly with the grass slick and the wind it's going to trigger for miss pressing so united just
35:53keeps keep an eye on that they have to go all the way back to the keeper they should just to relieve a
35:57bit of that press
36:16oyland mounts
36:17his whistle is gone his eyes were lighting up again united unhappy about it but it was
36:28indian referee gets that right
36:34it's just wasteful wasteful there comes a barn you frustrates you as a player you win the ball back and
36:40now you're back on the back foot defending
36:43hoyland so lazy tight at his back hill gathered
36:52it's happening here what's our drifted in by what tara evan nielsen got ahead of the ball
37:02gotta say it's a lovely lovely cross what turret does get the ball on his feet really well
37:06to see there the run takes dollar away slightly behind evan nielsen
37:17melts
37:25actually enjoying the tussle of hoyland and senesti both really fancy
37:30the physical side of the game willing to mix it up
37:39amaran and united found some triggers they have they they've pressed the ball so well with that front
37:45three and made it difficult on bournemouth
37:48fernandez
37:51amad casemiro strong enough hoyland amad just united purring a bit here
37:59dogoo
38:00now host of his ground
38:05samiru
38:05he said they're purring and the ideas are just flowing you can see you can see it without without
38:15any conversation on the pitch it's just the body language the positions are taking up
38:21the pass appreciation now is starting to flow
38:23the game for casemiro
38:41who certainly felt he was hauled over by uh soleil what tara breaks though it's dango watara and quite a
38:48lick
38:59he's explosive
39:00yeah i'll have to say as it was opening up here he fancied himself for pace he just knew
39:05he could get by bruno fernandez he could get if he got through the tackle could get by
39:09luke shaw and it's a good save in the end there
39:11tommy really well hit from wachara he's got an eye for goal
39:20three moments inside the last five minutes or so for uh
39:25bournemouth which will elicit some hope for them training as they do by a couple of goals
39:30in horrible conditions here
39:32to have a near went short arauho
39:39to have it here
39:41out by maguire further out by ahmad
39:44in the end bournemouth get the ball in the box and if you're if you're them you want the ball there
39:48they have some guys who can go attack it simeno billings senesi
39:54to barney you don't want to mess around with it too much
39:58so that's he nicely taken
40:02forward for tavern here
40:05wasn't sure what listen i was going to do it that he had too many options there
40:09there were four bournemouth players running forward which is a good thing
40:12but when your center backs on the ball it's really hard for him to pick one out
40:14that's what's going to do now
40:18yorkshireman marcus tavernier born in the great city of leeds
40:24advisedly in the knowledge that would be a big manchester united audience leeds and
40:28manchester united are not the closest of pals
40:34that is a fixture which uh the premier league so far as neutrals are concerned certainly welcomes back
40:38that's one of the great noisy confrontations of our game
40:57yoro really well done by casemiro because i thought when that ball went out it was an opportunity for
41:02one of the president press they did sure
41:18certainly done by dogoo and by ahmad dallo
41:30his own appetite in the uh attacking third yeah and he's got a bit there it's starting to come
41:36out of the confidence goals do that absolutely all the time goals do that for you
41:50you know it's interesting peter there's some real heated conversations going on in the pitch on
42:04both sides we talk about it being pre-season and what's the importance of it well i'll tell you what
42:09it's really starting to mean something now
42:10and it's healthy it's good it's what you want if you're a manager particularly it's what you want
42:17you want these guys fired up
42:21i know it's very difficult tim to put a put a number on this sort of thing but where
42:26where in terms of premier league pace do you feel we're up to here is this almost the real thing
42:32it's getting it's getting there it's getting there because because of the stadiums because
42:36there's there's less time to impress you know every half every game that goes by that's one less
42:42opportunity you're going to have to impress the manager and to stake your claim and so the
42:46individuals feel and then then the collective does
42:49so menu wriggled away from casemiro he has a real turn of pace as well
43:00soler what sara he's dangerous whipped in by what sara and evan nielsen was a studs length away
43:09and he's proving us right every time you get the ball you drive the fullback they don't want to be
43:13driven at like this it's hard because you're running backwards and he put such a good ball in it's a perfect
43:18ball just skips across evan nielsen reads it right he's just a length away from it
43:25but that's that's it's picture perfect it doesn't get better than that from a winger standpoint
43:30well he had a thrilling game against everton the other day and uh once more dango wittara is the
43:35guy who's catching the eye i don't know whether uh and only or iola is still discussing the
43:42close-off side call with the fourth official tom bramble there he if so he's doing it evidently in a
43:47good human way actually he said to us when we were chatting with him the other day that he wasn't
43:53that thrilled with bournemouth's performance in the first half against everton of course in the
43:57second half of that game they benefited from individual error
44:02managers are never ever ever happy which is great it's a great thing he's got a real pulse
44:08of this team and how he wants them to play
44:20in separate incidents and the referee whilst penalizing neither of those incidents has felt it
44:26necessary to stop the game so that araujo and simeno can gather themselves and araujo's making an
44:33accusation on first glance i thought he missed this one that one there you can see it's no
44:39this amount stops on his foot you can hear the moans and the groans yeah there's a foul in there
44:43one of those two is a foul yeah or both and i and i think it's it's pretty obvious and
44:49unfortunately the referee missed that it's luke shaw on araujo
45:03that's really what you it goes out of play but that's what united want they spread the pitch so
45:26now when bournemouth press the midfield's vacant and united have three or four up front and kind
45:31of a license to rome and if hoyland gets that pass right they're off to the races
45:45that's one by casemiro welcomed in by mount sabani was tight hoyland kept it dorgu
46:07it's been a few now petrovic goalkeepers missed needs to really try and connect some of those be a bit
46:12more precise it doesn't have to be perfect but he's to put it in an area where the blue shirt is
46:18fernandez dolgu mounts
46:25he stood high into the breeze and beyond well you can see what he was trying to do as he rolled on the
46:30inside to that right foot the angle opens up but it's hard there with no back lift the wind just gets
46:37it all wrong in a perfect world he would put that in and around the back post
46:42everyone wants a touch of the ball
46:49straight long balls is going to be a problem for for bournemouth when it comes to evan nielsen
46:53and harry mcguire he'll just gobble those things up it's going to be a difficult night
46:56evan nielsen that's not the battle he wants has to be in his chest or on the floor
46:59he's struggling
47:05neuro outnumbered two to one and tavernier's on his way watara's ahead of him evan nielsen through the
47:10middle his pass did no damage
47:18the pass that's having one it was on a second or a beat earlier once he decided to make that pass
47:24which are just kind of gave up on
47:39interesting talking to ruben amerin the other day
47:43on the subject of this preseason and what he wanted from it
47:48remember when he was appointed by united initially he was trying to insist that they waited until this
47:53summer and it would all begin then but he told us didn't he tim that in retrospect he's sort of
47:59glad that they've got through the pain they went through what they had to go through last season
48:04and uh he hopes that that might be a a backdrop that works for them going forward yeah and and
48:10credit omar barata for that decision because omar barata also realized you know what if we if we
48:16get our manager in and we can identify a style and we can identify who's who's his guys and who aren't
48:21his guys who to get in who to get out they're going to be six months ahead no matter what the pain is
48:26and now they've arrived at that point and so great decision by the manchester united hierarchy
48:32and even the ruben amerin probably wanted to stay at sporting for six months he had a really good flow
48:37there this was the best opportunity and now hopefully the dividends will come
48:57that's free kick
48:59caught up a little bit like a golfer's drive on a long par five
49:03when the wind is whistling across the fairway
49:10possibly hard i'll have the television screen to translate for you just how awkward these conditions
49:17are i'll tell you ahmad ahmad has a tight little turn from right to left just spins it's so so tight
49:25to his foot it's really really clever
49:31casemiro
49:33and that's what's talking very well judged by around hope
49:37difficult ball he didn't he didn't judge the second goal right we got that one needed to
49:42he needed to because door goes off his shoulder every single time really making it difficult
49:45so so little joy evan ilson against harry mcguire we keep seeing them
50:16in the tussle but again that he he gains an advantage when the ball's on the floor
50:20on the carpet to his feet once it's up above his shoulders there
50:24is aaron mcguire
50:28one minute to add on they can all get inside and dry off
50:32change of shirt
50:35change of personnel as well we'll see at halftime
50:37free kick against some menio for a challenge on manchester united's unlikely goal scorer patrick
50:48torku
50:52samiru
50:54amad
50:56oiland
50:59just to take on sunesi
51:03times his tackle well
51:04harland's gone a bit quiet this is the goal
51:17half time and in chicago it is manchester united who have wind in their sails
51:33upliftingly rasmus hoiland with a deft header to establish the lead
51:37improbably patrick dorgu was the man to double it and at the break
51:42at soldier field it's united to bournemouth nil
51:51it really is but these are the appalling conditions
51:56that the brave folk of chicago are suffering here
52:00when they bought their ticket they didn't necessarily have this in mind the wind is
52:04whistling through soldier field and it is accompanied by heavy rain
52:11torrential unpleasant but look at them still they can raise a smile and raise a dance
52:16and uh they can peer through their hoods and their various waterproof coverings and savor the occasion
52:37well these supporters watched just one notable manchester united's uh substitute
52:54apparently preparing to come on for the second half during the halftime break and that was uh
52:59matice delict all of bournemouth's substitutes were out on the field doing a
53:07combined warm-up you'll recall that the other day united changed 10 players all at once
