Fair play to this Spain team, but the current standard of international football is poor. Don’t think this tournament has been great. The Spain side of 2008 and 2010 would comfortably beat this team

Despite the lack of public comms @MU_ST and @ISLO_MUST have been been going nonstop behind the scenes following the actions by @ManUtd that can only be described as over the top. imust.org.uk/Blog/Entry/sup…

Michael Carrick praises Jacob Devaney 🇮🇪 "JD playing centre-half, it's not natural to him, he's played there a little bit, but not a lot and I thought he did, did ever so well. "He had a really successful few months up there [on loan in Scotland] and it was good to see him kind of take that next step. "And you could see today the confidence and the assurance in his game, even though he was playing a slightly different position. "He was vocal, he was commanding and, yeah, I liked a lot of what he did there." #mufc

United trailing to Wrexham at half-time in Helsinki. They started their pre-season earlier and have already played a game, so not a surprise that they look the much sharper side #mufc

Michael Carrick on Andrey Santos: "He's settled in really well. He's fantastic character. He's buzzing to be here and he's a fantastic player. He'll do really well for us, so I'm looking forward to his progression while here's here." #mufc

Harry Maguire wears the captain's armband this afternoon #mufc

United XI vs Wrexham: Heaton, Yoro, Heaven, Maguire, Shaw, Santos, J. Fletcher, Mount, Mbeumo, Zirkzee, Dorgu #mufc

This follows yesterday’s coverage of the story. The club need to put this right

United have described their operation to address touting as "successful", but have recognised "some innocent supporters may have been affected" and apologised for the inconvenience during the process #mufc manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football…

Meet the man helping United’s next generation. Sylar Tso gives an edge to the likes of JJ Gabriel, Godwill Kukonki and Jayden Ngwashi. Find out more here 🧘 #mufc manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football…

United's pre-season begins in Helsinki 🇫🇮📸

@VarunVNix Still recovering from last season’s shin injury

@StevenRailston Why no Sesko Steven?

Andrey Santos could make his 'debut' in the opening pre-season game against Wrexham tomorrow, but Karl Darlow is staying back. Will be interesting to get a good look at Santos after his £50m arrival from Chelsea #mufc

@NathSalt1 Come back home, not worth it with Darlow absent

🚨 Manchester United confirm 26-man squad for Helsinki friendly vs Wrexham New signing Andrey Santos makes it. Karl Darlow doesn’t. JJ Gabriel not been with first team for entire week so not made trip. Good to see Kamason make the cut. *** Goalkeepers: Tom Heaton, Radek Vitek, Dermot Mee. Defenders: Harry Maguire, Patrick Chinazaekpere Dorgu, Leny Yoro, Luke Shaw, Ayden Heaven, Harry Amass, Jaydan Kamason, Dan Armer. Midfielders: Mason Mount, Andrey Santos, Jack Fletcher, Tyler Fletcher, Toby Collyer, Dan Gore, Jacob Devaney, Jim Thwaites. Forwards: Joshua Zirkzee, Bryan Mbeumo, Chido Obi, Ethan Wheatley, Shea Lacey, Ethan Williams. #mufc

United's travelling squad to face Wrexham 🇫🇮 Goalkeepers: Heaton, Vitek, Mee. Defenders: Maguire, Dorgu, Yoro, Shaw, Heaven, Amass, Kamason, Armer. Midfielders: Mount, Santos, J. Fletcher, T. Fletcher, Collyer, Gore, Devaney, Thwaites. Attackers: Zirkzee, Mbeumo, Obi, Wheatley, Lacey, Williams. Sesko is absent as he continues his recovery from a shin injury #mufc

Marcus Rashford could potentially return to Carrington around August 10th following a post-World Cup break #mufc manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football…

Good advice in the meantime:

Thanks to every fan who got in touch to voice their anger at the club’s attempt to address touting. Clearly United have caught innocent supporters in the crossfire. Hopefully those cases can be given a proper investigation #mufc manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football…

@OhCheesesChrist Please could you drop your number into my DMs for a phone call @molerz7 @HulmstonMax @Shanecl78923176 I've left a message with someone at the club, but need to speak to fans to understand/highlight the situation

There seem to be a lot of people whose account restrictions are being upheld. I’ve only seen one that hasn’t been so far. All this comes with no real direction or confirmation on what the supporter has actually done. For anyone who can’t understand the reasoning due to insufficient information from the club and received an email telling them their sanction is being upheld, one of the next steps may be to raise a Subject Access Request (SAR). Under UK law, any organisation holding your personal data must provide a copy of that data upon request, free of charge, and usually within one calendar month. Crucially, "personal data" includes automated system logs, internal notes, telemetry data, and audit trails tied to your account. By forcing Manchester United to hand this over, you can bypass their vague customer service language and see the exact technical metrics (IP addresses, click rates, device IDs) that triggered their security flag. When filing a SAR during a ticketing dispute, you should not just ask for "all data." Be highly specific so they cannot delay their response by claiming the request is too broad. You should demand: - Ticketing Portal System Logs: All automated telemetry, access logs, user-agent data, and click-rate timestamps associated with your membership number between the specific investigation dates (March to July 12). - IP Address and Geolocation History: The complete list of IP addresses recorded by their servers logging into your account, alongside any internal flags raised regarding multiple locations. - Internal Communications and Notes: All internal emails, memos, CRM notes, or compliance review documentation mentioning your name or membership number. - The Specific Fraud/Bot Detection Criteria Applied: The exact technical reason your account was flagged (e.g., exceeding a certain number of page refreshes per minute, or concurrent logins from distinct IPs). Here is a template you can use for a Subject Access Request. You can email this directly to the club's Data Protection Officer or compliance team (usually dpo@manutd.co.uk or via their main customer service channel). ------ Subject: Formal Subject Access Request (UK GDPR) – Account Restriction Inquiry Dear Data Protection Officer, Re: Subject Access Request Name: [Your Name] Membership / Season Ticket Number: [Your Number] Email Associated with Account: [Your Email] I am writing to make a formal Subject Access Request pursuant to the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. I recently received an email from the club’s ticketing compliance team stating that "sustained activity" on my account indicated a potential breach of terms, resulting in the temporary restriction of my account. The email failed to provide any specific technical data or evidence detailing what this activity entails. To ensure my right to fairness and transparency under the law, and to properly formulate my appeal, please provide me with copies of the following personal data held by the club regarding my account between March 1 and July 12: All digital access logs, telemetry data, server timestamps, page-refresh metrics, and user-agent records associated with logins to my account profile. The complete list of captured IP addresses and inferred geolocations used to access my account during this period. All internal communications, correspondence, memos, or system notes compiled by the ticketing, security, or compliance teams regarding my account or membership number. Any automated profiling or automated decision-making logic logs that directly triggered the flag and subsequent restriction on my account. As per ICO guidelines, I expect to receive this information without delay and at the latest within one calendar month of this request. If you require any standard identity verification to process this request, please contact me immediately via this email address. Yours sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Phone Number] ------ How to Leverage This in Your Appeal In your actual appeal email to appeals@manutd.co.uk (due by July 27), you should explicitly mention that you have submitted a SAR: "As the club has failed to outline the specific technical evidence behind these allegations, I have formally submitted a Subject Access Request (SAR) to the Data Protection Officer to obtain my account logs. Because the club’s deadline forces me to appeal before my legal data rights can be fulfilled, I expect the club to fully review my account profile manually and transparently provide the metrics they are relying on to justify this restriction."
