Spain and Portugal gave us a quite a show on Day 2 of the World Cup. It was a great day for Manchester United’s past in Ronaldo, but not so much much for their present in David De Gea. Yikes. Anyway, Saturday has four games in store, and some things to watch for Reds everywhere.

France vs. Australia

Time: 13:00 Moscow time, 11:00 UK time, 6:00 AM on the east coast of the USA, and 3:00 in the godforsaken morning over on the west. Just don’t bother going to bed, west coasters.

Manchester United points of interest

In the first match of day, United’s most high profile player takes center stage under a significant amount of scrutiny. Luckily for Paul Pogba, Australia should not offer much resistance. Antoine Griezmann is a certain starter as well, but the long rumored Mourinho target has already made a bellend of himself with a bizarre televised “decision” that he will be staying at Atletico Madrid next season.

Marcos Rojo shouldn’t have too much trouble in Argentina’s back line against Iceland, and like the rest of the team, will probably just need to stay out of Lionel Messi’s way while he does the business.

The remaining two games should be good fun, but there’s not much of specific interest to United, unless you’re a masochist that wants those Ivan Perišić links to pop up again this summer.
