If you believe the rumours, Harry Maguire has apparently transferred Ronaldo out of his fantasy team for this week, so sounds like he might not be starting. Peak muppetry I know…

I'd believe this is Maguire's team. Only because this person transferred Maguire in. Nobody else is putting him in theirs :lol:

SonyaCross493 · Jan 15, 2022

FFS Ron worry after leaving training early with.a thigh injury (it is The Sun but Neil Custis usually has sources) Not played for United for 2 weeks (as he obviously missed the cup game). And if he misses tomorrows match because of the thigh injury could be 3 weeks before we see him kick a football for United again

and no guarantee then as knowing our luck he will pick up Covid or something..

see above.. looks like Ronaldo picked up a thigh injury in training.. which would explain it if was Maguire..

well the team should be travelling to Birmingham tonight shouldn't they?! Let's see if Ronny is with the team..

Preparing to be bored and frustrated...

vanrooney · Jan 15, 2022

I am considering to not watch this lot as I know it will be frustrating. That’s now the first time since 2013 but the shit years are taking its toll. There is not much optimism left. And I think it will take some time for Ralf to change the fortune of the club - a good win today would come out of nowhere

Catt · Jan 15, 2022

Yikes, this will be hard to watch.

Angry even

I’m going to be optimistic and hope a corner will be turned at this point of the season

ForeverRed1 · Jan 15, 2022

After Monday they will be really up for this. New signings maybe also get a run out and there’s a good buzz around villa at the moment.

tough game. Win by any means.

Dont place your hopes on corners, we have been hopeless from them this season.

Don't know how some people don't know that McTom and Shaw are suspended for this match.

soapythecat · Jan 15, 2022

Thank feck I’m at work over the match. We will get battered because our midfield just isn’t good enough. Varane showing some form is one of the few positives of late.
Can’t see anything other than a Villa win - they will be bang up for this and I bet they come flying at us.

smi11ie · Jan 15, 2022

I don't know if it is too early in Ralf's reign to expect improvement but I am itching to see Utd play a controlled attacking game. I would settle for a sound defensive display with no major cock-ups.

minoo-utd · Jan 15, 2022

Play the same we did at F.A cup and they will comfortably beat us. A major change needed for this one.

Good thing we can't since McT is suspended

Roux · Jan 15, 2022

Having nightmares about Matic playing again. Please no.

Barthez · Jan 15, 2022

we’ll win this IMO

Judas · Jan 15, 2022

Not excited, don't think we'll win

hopefully the game on Monday will have helped our preparation and given us a bit of an idea what to expect, because they throughly deserved more from that game.

allen7 · Jan 15, 2022

Telles assist and Varane scoring today

Leftback99 · Jan 15, 2022

I've not been more sure of defeat for a while. They'll be up for it and we'll wilt under pressure. McTominay and Shaw big losses too.

Ali Dia · Jan 15, 2022

I really can’t see us winning this unless there has been an impossible change in morale and comprehension of our situation behind the scenes.

Devil may care · Jan 15, 2022

I'd like to see this tried but I suspect Maguire, Matic and Rashford will start.

It's plausible with one of the leagues he's in having Maguires brothers and another league having loads of Leicester City players in. I recall that account being posted on here a while back too.

The villa match day thread is hilarious. I think the average age of posters must be about 13. It’s just post after post of Var/conspiracy theory self pitying.

They are cretins. Last season they were wishing season ending injury on Bruno.

Hopefully. Don’t want to see Rashford anywhere near the starting 11.

In theory that’s probably our best performing 3 if Ronaldo’s injured but in practice I think it could be a little weak, it’s a brave call from the manager if true..

Yeah they seem like one of those weird clubs we don’t give a feck about that really seem to hate us.
I don’t even remember all these supposedly bad decisions we’ve had against them due to their insignificance.

SonyaCross493 · Jan 15, 2022

So Ronaldo still injured FFS.. We need him to play through the pain barrier. It'll just be our luck that Ronaldo starts to have loads of injuries as soon as he joins United..

if this keeps happening we have to look at Rangnick and his training methods if it's causing more injuries.. You can't train a 37 year old as much as you can a 21 year old.. they need plenty of rest days etc own specific training plan.

Ronaldo should only be required to train once or twice a week.

thank god for Cavani and let's touch wood he stays injury free. 3 starts in a row is massive for him.

They're still doing 'man ure' :lol:

I think my Liverpool supporting mates grew out of that before we were out of year 6.

So Ronaldo picks up one short term injury and suddenly the manager is absolutely at fault? Would you like a job writing for the sun? :lol:

Hope not, a front three that absolutely screams 'no cohesion'. Also would likely mean a midfield of Fred, Matic and Bruno... so we'd end up with Bruno doing his best #9 impression and Matic dropping in to defence every five minutes.

In summary, I hope Webby's wrong :lol:

Telsim · Jan 15, 2022

Even the bookies have come to learn their lesson - we are crap. :lol:

its not just 1 injury though is it. 2 separate injuries in the space of 2 weeks for Ronaldo.

could just be a freak coincidence but time will tell.

you don't train Ronaldo like you train a Greenwood. There's no need.

Dante · Jan 15, 2022

This will be our most dominant win of the season.

Adisa · Jan 15, 2022

Find it hard to see anything other than a loss here. These cnuts don't give a feck.
