Valencia was terrible at RB last game. Happy to see Young in instead.

wasn't young decent at left back? would prefer Darmian against Sanchez rather than young as Darmian is the natural right back

TrustInJanuzaj · Oct 4, 2015

Tbh Schneiderlin is overrated in this place! He's a decent player but a couple of levels below Carrick and Schweinsteiger, that being said I still like him as a player and I think we are yet to see his top level in a Utd shirt.

Young at LB.

worldinmotion66 · Oct 4, 2015

Valencia went off on Wednesday he hadn't fully recovered from injury and it's no surprise that Young plays. He's done absolutely nothing wrong at full back, and I expect him to play at left back with Darmian up against Sanchez (as the recognised defender).

Also, I thought Schneiderlin would've done better than Carrick in this game, with his running and closing them down.

Maybe we're looking to control the game, as we normally do, and with Carrick and Schweinsteiger, we can definately do that.

I agree, though his tackling would be useful in this game IMO.

Young should be playing LW. Blind should be LB, and Jones should be CB (TonyV at RB).

Remember how good Young was in that run of fixtures against Pool, Spurs and City last season? And then against Arsenal in May?

He was good at LB last season to be fair.

I havent played the line-up prediction game for weeks.

Thought I'd share that little information nugget with you all.

Thank you for sharing with us Rowem

Shiva87 · Oct 4, 2015

I'd imagine Young will be at LB (against Ozil) and Darmian will be at RB (against Sanchez). It makes sense to have our full back against their best player.

Showing it on SKY, but i think he'll play RB. With Mata cutting in, we need someone who's going to get forward at every moment, and that is suited more to Young than Darmian.

Left wing back... Different.

Yeh perhaps that is true, however i imagine LVG is gonna try and take the game to Arsenal and with schweinsteiger and carrick we can attempt to control the ball. Got a really god feeling about today!

He played at LB too.

Memorably against Stoke.

I think he played LB a few times too?

Ole90+3 · Oct 4, 2015

Why do people think that Young will play RB?

Surely it will be Darmian at RB and Young on the left.

Van Gaalacticos · Oct 4, 2015

Come on United let's have these tippy tappy Barcelona wannabes, hopefully our away fans can make themselves heard and spur the boys onto victory against the library faithful and big game day trippers. I'm predicting Arsenal to go 1 ahead and for us to rally to win 1-2.

Come on the mighty United!!! Arrrrrggggghhhhhhh!!!!!

Let's feckin' have 'em!!!!

I'd rather Darmian come up against Sanchez though.

He did, quite a few times 2nd half of last season.

Not as fullback though..Here he actually has to defend.

Shiva87 · Oct 4, 2015

With Rojo, Valencia and Shaw injured, and Jones not match fit - don't think LVG had an option on this one. Unless you think he should have played McNair.

Its pretty much never a good idea to make such massive changes to the team, LVG has done the smart thing and just rotated a couple of players and honestly this is about a strongest possible team.

Don't remember so but I'll bow to consensus.

Honestly, probably because that's where he played last time after coming on a sub and he did well.

Edit: I think he will play LB too though, just why I think people are saying he will start at RB.

MZX7 · Oct 4, 2015

I have a feeling it's gonna be a Wayne Rooney show today. Hope I'm right.

True, but I doubt we'd risk Young vs Sanchez.

Samid · Oct 4, 2015

Are these live pictures? 12 minutes to kick-off and completely empty stadium?

Shiva87 · Oct 4, 2015

Star Sports just ran a short clip comparing Martial to Henry!

Anyone else catch that?

Stadium really looks empty considering its only 10 mins to kickoff.

This is the last game I'd expect a Rooney show in. Arsenal's pressing will be too much for him to be effective imo.

Same.

I think he's past it and needs replacing but I think he's also made for these games.

At least get behind him before the game...
