Elenga --- CF?

 

[TMDaines]

Should be strong enough, but given a draw takes us to pens, I don’t fancy going behind.

 

[charlenefan]

I know it's said every game but the MUFC twitter has to stop with the shirt number order, you can't even click on the fecking image anymore as it's actually a link to buy a shirt

 

[groovyalbert]

Solid defence, great to see Mainoo starting. Will need Antony to really step up and dictate the attack, hard to see where the goals naturally come from even in such a relatively easy game. Shame Butland isn't involved.

 

[Red Rash]

Will be interesting to see how Mainoo does. Are we expecting Elanga to play as number 9?

 

[Swedish_Plumber]

Elanga needs a good game. Excited to see Mainoo

 

[RedDevilRoshi]

Happy with that

 

[DON’T PANIC ™]

Is this on tv in uk?

 

[DJ_21]

Nice rotation. Hope that young CM does well.

 

[Herman Toothrot]

Glad to see Heaton starting, pleased we are indulging in a touch of sentimentality.

 

[DJ_21]

Is this on tv in uk?

Unfortunately not. The Newcastle and Leicester game is shown on sky.

 

[Massive Spanner]

Sancho not being back yet is a bit mental.

 

[Jules_T]

Weak up front. Can we score today?

Yeah please someone bin that off

 

[Chairman Steve]

I echo the surprise too over Mainoo starting, especially over Iqbal. Mainoo must be really something in training to get a nod over Iqbal who the majority of fans were expecting to start something like this.

 

[Hernandez - BFA]

Looks like youth's back on the Mainoo boys.

 

[Cathy Ferguson]

What position does Mainoo play?

Bruno's position. Elanga up front.

 

[bosnian_red]

Great to see Mainoo starting.

Heaton
Dalot Maguire Martinez Malacia
Mainoo Mctom Fred
Antony Elanga Garnacho​

Happy we are rotating here, much needed but you never know if the manager will do it. Interesting no Lindelof or Wan Bissaka, hopefully we see Zidane come in at some point. Elanga up top I don't hate. He makes good runs. Garnacho and Antony out wide should be running this game.

 

[KiD MoYeS]

Mainoo is only 17.

 

[JustinC00]

Guess this confirms Varane & Martial are injured. Damn before 2 big matches in the league too.

 

[avgp_1]

Delighted to see Mainoo start

 

[prateik]

Where is Shola ? going out on loan? And what about brandon williams?

 

[yfoFC]

Why not zidane Iqbal?

 

[sglowrider]

Not sure how the ball will progress from defence to attack.

 

[SalfordRed18]

Looks like youth's back on the Mainoo boys.

You've been waiting to use this haven't you?

 

[Beachryan]

From my very limited time seeing Mainoo, he reminds me soooo much of Pogba at the U18/reserve level. Minus some of the ridiculous long shots. Am very excited to see ETH showing some faith.

 

[Berbasbullet]

Mainoo!!

 

[United Hobbit]

Great - Maguire...

 

[Rustyspider13]

Full rotation as expected. VdB's loss is Mainoo's gain. Excited to see what he can do. I wonder if he'll be at 10 or at 8 with McT/Fred ahead. Elanga will probably start at ST with Garnacho being more dangerous on the left. Bench is pretty strong, no Bruno at all is the only surprise.

 

[CloneMC16]

Never even heard of Mainoo.

Going to need Antony to step up here. He's our most experienced attacker.

 

[Ayoba]

Excellent lineup. Glad the regular players are rested

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

Is this Mainoo lad more of a 10 or 8? If it's the latter, then it's interesting he starts over Iqbal.

 

[JustinC00]

Sancho not being back yet is a bit mental.

People might have to accept that we might not see him again this season. It's been 2 months already.

 

[croadyman]

Guess this confirms Varane & Martial are injured. Damn before 2 big matches in the league too.

Probably just wrapped up

 

[Orange Tree]

McFred!!

Is Martial injured or rested?

 

[V.O.]

I echo the surprise too over Mainoo starting, especially over Iqbal. Mainoo must be really something in training to get a nod over Iqbal who the majority of fans were expecting.

Mainoo has looked a class apart in the youth games I've seen. I think he probably has the highest potential of the recent crop other than maybe Garnacho.

I don't think either Iqbal or Savage have stood out as much as Mainoo at that level, but others watch the kids a lot more than I do, so I'm welcome to be corrected.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Mainoo !!!

 

[horsechoker]

Mainoo is only 17.

Well done, he's 17

:/

 

[red_de_pologne]

is Mainoo a 10 ?
