Arsenal vs Manchester United

Walters_19_MuFc · Sunday at 18:23

Onana

Mazraoui - De Ligt - Shaw

Ugarte - Bruno

Amad - Mount - Garnacho - Dalot

Hojlund

I’m torn between Rashford and Garnacho. Rashford has a knack for delivering in big games and has found his scoring touch recently. Garnacho, however, is our top scorer this season and is relentless, though he seems more effective out wide than as an inside forward.

Given that Hojlund is likely to start up front, I don't necessarily feel the need for a pacey runner like Rashford or Garnacho. Alternatively, Amorim could opt for Bruno and Mount playing behind Hojlund, with Ugarte and Eriksen controlling the midfield.

DRJosh · Sunday at 18:31

Amazing how match-day staring lineups have become less predictable now that Amorim is in charge without the illogical bias ETH had towards certain underperforming players.

Andycoleno9 · Sunday at 18:43

Shame that our next two away games are Arsenal and City. That could kill our momentum.
Ten Hag burned easy schedule and gave Amorim tough one.

deef · Sunday at 19:03

I think it will be a more defensive approach

Onana
DeLigt - Maguire - Shaw
Mazraoui Dalot
Ugarte Bruno
Mount Amad
Hojlund

AndySmith1990 · Sunday at 19:05

I expect us to lose, and that's fine. I just want to see us putting in effort, working hard for the full 90, and at least making it competitive whilst not resorting to super negative tactics

I would definitely take that.

Greyfog · Sunday at 19:34

Mouth watering game this. Can't wait

Offside · Sunday at 19:36

Performance is the main thing. Don’t want to see us only playing for 10 minutes, missing a hat full of sitters then conceding in the last minute. I want to see us have a go.

Amorim’s first real test.

I think that we’ll probably lose. We still aren’t all that at the back.

Dannn411 · Sunday at 20:06

First real test. Don't think we'll get anything out of it but I want to see how naive/pragmatic Amorim really is.

BaguetteBoy · Sunday at 20:23

Arsenal come into some form recently. Wrong time to play them I believe we will lose but will be a tight game. Will be a good run out for the players. This manager will not be playing for a draw for sure so a tight 2-1 Arsenal

Yep, can't wait. No disrespect to Ipswich or Everton but I want to see these players and Amorim up against some real top class opposition.

crossy1686 · Sunday at 20:38

Probably coming a few weeks too early, or we get a lucky new manager bounce for this one. Either way, not getting torn a new one is a massive improvement on the previous shit show so I'll take whatever we get.

I'm expecting this team:

Onana
Maz, De Ligt, Shaw
Amad, Casemiro, Ugarte, Dalot
Bruno, Mount
Hoijund

Saka is the main danger man out wide and he'll be on the side of Dalot/Shaw that I'm not too concerned about Amad defensively.

I wouldn't be surprised if Garnacho or Rashford starts instead of Mount for a threat on the counter.

I'd go with this. Legs in MF. Strong out wide. Just hopeful of a confident display, and not being wasteful.

I’d have Mainoo over Casemiro for more legs. Also don’t see Rashford being dropped after his 2 goals tonight.

ArtetasHair · Sunday at 21:05

We need a win otherwise title is totally done (if not already)

Some of you guys are always so pessimistic before big games its astonishing. I expect a tight game which is either a 1-1 draw or us winning it by a goal especially since Odegaard is back now. We have dropped utterly silly points at home so for some reason I'd felt more confident away from home.

I do feel however if you guys play 3 at the back like Sporting did it can end up badly for you. I expect the midfield is where we'd take control as Ugarte is a good tackler and that's about it and Casemiro's legs are gone, Mount is a pressing machine but alone isn't enough. Rashford though will be a big danger as he always is at the Emirates.

Looking forward to it.

It's a worry that Amad played full 90 minutes, but

................. Onana

... Mazraoui - de Ligt - Shaw

Amad - Casemiro - Ugarte - Dalot

......... Mount - Fernandes

............... Højlund

Castia · Sunday at 21:22

Not sure about playing 2 full backs in a back 3 away at Arsenal. They’re deadly on set pieces as well.

Onana
Maz Maguire De Ligt
Amad Ugarte Bruno Shaw
Mount Rashford
Hojlund

I think he may decide to attack them
Onana
Maz De Ligt Shaw
Amad Ugarte Casemiro Garnacho

Mainoo is suspended after his yellow today

JB08 · Sunday at 21:40

Back down to earth. 3-1 loss - unfortunately they're just far better than us at present. This time in 12 months I hope we're a lot closer to them.

bosnian_red · Sunday at 21:42

This games coming about a month too soon for us I'd say. They're obviously a quality team, are in top form and are at home. Just hope we don't let our heads drop during the game and are at least competitive in it, but I'd definitely be surprised with any positive result.

I'm of the opinion that these tough games are a good way to measure where we are with our progress with our new coach.
Hopefully its an opportunity for some of these players to up their game. Amad's workrate against Everton is what I'm expecting from all of them. We can get at Arsenal and City. It can be done.

City should be nothing to worry about at the minute, if we play close to our best we’ll beat them. Arsenal are a big test though.

MyOnlySolskjaer · Sunday at 22:24

Draw would be great.

always_hoping · Monday at 01:10

Still annoyed about the manner of the defeat in this fixture last year. Would be nice to gain revenge but I'll a realist and know with a new manager who is still trying to find out first hand which United players are best to trust a draw would be a decent result here.

bosnian_red · Monday at 01:35

Onana
Mazraoui De Ligt Shaw
Amad Ugarte Bruno Dalot
Mount Garnacho
Hojlund

Best lineup in terms of offensive/defensive balance and physicality, minus Licha being unavailable which is a shame. Feels like a game too soon for us in our process but this should be the team for sure.

Casemero isn't as good as he was a few years ago and can he play two games in quick succession?

Rashford starts on the basis of today's performance.

This is what I'm thinking too. My only question would be will he start Antony or stick with Amad and trust his fitness?

You expect Yoro to make his debut for Man Utd in a match against Arsenal after being out for months?

Lyng · Monday at 06:46

We are still finding our feet and adjusting while they are at their peak. Would have liked this to come later in the season. A loss here won't bother me to much. Each game so far has showed improvement and that's all we can ask for this early in Amorims run.
I bet Arsenal are happy they face us now and not later.

Don’t see any problems with that for as long as Yoro is fit to play

Yagami · Monday at 07:21

I'm actually pretty confident.

We may have lost both games last season but we did pretty well against them. We could sneak a result here.

It's actually pretty late already? Faced three quarters of the league already. I think it's not too bad for Amorim to have the first game vs. Arsenal away. Same goes for City game in two weeks. No pressure. The home games in March and April against these should be very different.
