That game was played during week one. United opened the season vs Crystal Palace.
Yea sorry, I had typed something different and then only half edited it.
They had less than a month between their last competitive game and their first/only friendly. They simply didn’t have time to schedule more friendlies, unless they were going to be entirely played by the reserves/underagers team, but that kinda makes a friendly pointless.
As I said, I think the lack of friendlies excuse is pretty week for the 5th competitive game, but that response was one of the dumbest things I’ve ever read.
