    Lot of players back for AC Milan, I'm worried. If we don't turn up better than last time they will eat us alive.
     
    Zlatan took part in full training today so he'll feature on Thursday and with others returning/returned Milan are basically full strength for this 2nd leg.

    De Beek, Cavani, Pogba all trained for United today. Be interesting to see will that trio start? At a guess only Cavani will while Pogba eased back and will see some action 2nd half.
     
    Zlatan is back, we’re in for a really tough game here. Hopefully we can get this over the line.

    3-0 United.
     
    Start Martial and Pogba - even if Pogba can last only 60 min with Rashford, Greenwood, Bruno and go get that away goal back and then keep at them. Put Cavani on if things are not going well. Can't afford to start of passive for this one.

    Pogba to start for such a big game after a long layoff ? That would be too risky

    Ole is all about self preservation. He brought Pogba back early from injury last season against Rochdale in the League Cup. If he can play, he’ll play, 100%. Ole will take years off our players careers until he gets his new contract.

    Any idea of kit assignments for this?

    Took day of work and going to watch with some mates in NYC so for sure we won't show up and lose 3-0!

    We're playing away in San Siro, aren't we? Real glad it's not packed. Have fun!

    Rochdale was an easier introduction back into competitive football but a return leg vs Milan ? I don't know
     
    Just win this bloody match. We can not get kicked out of EL so early as well. We are the strongest team left in the competition, so ought to win it.

    Not actually sure. Their home kid is red and black.

    Our home kit is red, both our away kits are black/grey?

    I assume itll have to be the zebra kit unless Milan are forced to wear their away kit.
     
    After seeing the traveling squad

    Henderson
    AWB - Bailly - Maguire - Telles
    Pogba - McTominay
    Greenwood - Bruno - Rashford
    Cavani​
     
    Yeah we’ll probably wear the Zebra one
     
    TRAVELLING SQUAD: THE FULL LIST

    De Gea, Henderson, Grant; Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw, Telles, Tuanzebe, Wan-Bissaka, Williams; Amad, Fernandes, Fred, James, Matic, McTominay, Pogba, van de Beek; Cavani, Greenwood, Rashford.
     
    Pogba, van de Beek and Cavani in the squad. Good stuff.
     
    We have to score, when was the last time Ole had to set up the team to score? It'll be interesting, hope it's not Pogba on the left wing and Rashford off the right with McSauce and Fred midfield :rolleyes:
     
    Much healthier looking squad, Bailly aside, who will never be consistently fit sadly.

    If we can't beat Milan with that squad its a bit pathetic really. Their home form isn't the best, our away form is great. We will get the job done.
     
    I can see us being "two down in no time" - and no Keano to drag us back. If Zlatan plays, he'll score

    I do not think Zlatan will score to be honest. I am more concerned about Milan's pact attackers rather than quite big but quite immobile Zlatan.

    Was it really though? A nothing game against a lower league team looking to make an impression. I would argue they are more likely to rough up an United player. Milan is a big game. Rochdale wasn’t, yet Ole started a player who wasn’t fit.
     
    Have we ever faced Ibrahimovic before? The answer must be yes but I can't really recall it.
     
    Henderson
    AWB - Lindelof - Maguire - Shaw
    Pogba - Fred
    James - Bruno - Rashford
    Greenwood

    Subs: Cavani - Van de Beek - Telles​

    AC Milan 1-2 MUFC

    I don't see Cavani starting, but playing 30 minutes in the second half should work coming off injury, pulling Rashford off, moving James to the right and Greenwood to the left. Big shakeup to throw off the Milani defenders. Van de Beek will come in to relieve Pogba, either for time or injury. Telles will come in to give Shaw's hamstring an extra bit of recovery time.

    14 goals in 14 games in Serie A, I think you should consider the possibility that he might. The immobile bollocks don't impact his game really, he's technical and powerful in the box and will drag our CBs, they will be a whole lot better than they were in the first leg attacking wise. The other attackers are not up to par.
