I agree, but who would you start ahead of him on the right flank?

Mata, Lingard and Sanchez are the alternatives and none of them looks up to scratch. It's a crime that the right-wing position has gone untended for so long now.

And the perpetrator of that crime is the useless ceo.

Of course Young starts and is the captain

This is Barcelona, he should start.

Barcelona have not lost a home game in the Champiopns league since 2013. So anyone that thinks not playing Young will make much difference, I dont know what to tell ya.

We were talking about picking Martial or Lukaku to start, not about Young. I agree though, it will be extremely difficult to get a win tonight.

If it came centrally in a congested zone he has more of a chance of losing it than from a wide area of the pitch.

Off the ball he can at least drag the defenders into wide areas and create pockets for Pogba to run into. Playing centrally makes it far harder for him and the likes of Pogba behind him to find space.

Time will tell I guess..

Young on Messi, won't be a pretty sight.

Please don't let him get booked early doors. Imagine that!!

Jones is apparently at Left Back according to some journos on Twitter

RussellWilson · Apr 16, 2019

My main worry is less the defence but how out of form our front three are. They couldn't coordinate a decent attack against West Ham.

I don't understand this young shouldn't start but dalot should argument here, both are shit at defending and rightly will get ripped to pieces tonight, regardless of who starts.

I'd be angry if we had a better option with young still starting but at the moment, does it make a difference?

Least Dalot can put in a decent cross whereas Young never gets the ball above the kneecaps.

MUTV and BT have him at right back.

MrSingh2002 · Apr 16, 2019

I agree with Martial and Rashford. When you play 2 upfront both strikers have to be mobile if not anything else.

Lukaku isn't a a very mobile centre forward. I think Ole's got it spot on if it's a 352 with Lingard as RWB.

The only weakness is Young being picked over Dalot.

No, just Dalot

People would moan about Jones and Rojo then. You can't win.

PoTMS · Apr 16, 2019

Surely you'd want natural wide men to stretch Barca. No, the only winger or full back we have playing today that likes playing out wide is Young and he's a coward.

Our worst player should start in our toughest match of the season. Makes sense

settembrini · Apr 16, 2019

I hope it's 3-5-2 but after Solskjaer's decision to start Bailly at right back against PSG I'm scared he will make a similar mistake with Jones tonight.

Samid · Apr 16, 2019

Baffling that Jones gets the nod over Double D if it's a back four.

Hopefully it's a thinking cap.

They are all just guessing. They have the same lineup sheet as everyone else.

100 · Apr 16, 2019

Don't really expect anything. Just want the team to work their balls off...which should be a minimum expectation anyway.

We'll get a chance or two with Rashford and Martial's pace.

RedDevil@84 · Apr 16, 2019

That can't be right.

Pogba must be in the starting lineup.

We have decided to play with 10 men to show Pogba that we can defeat Barca without him and a man down.

El-Manos · Apr 16, 2019

Young for feck sake

Sandikan · Apr 16, 2019

If we were to somehow magic through, it really would be one of those "Name on the cup" years.
Looks an impossible mission.

Just hope Martial, Rashford and Lingard do an exceptional pressing and countering job

Web of Bissaka · Apr 16, 2019

Interesting lineup.

Jones or Lindelof at RB.
High press and quick counter from our best energetic front three.
McTom-Fred-Pogba yess!!!

Exactly this. It seems Ole hasn't learnt his lesson.

Who'd you have gone with?
Darmian, with his 5 or 6 appearances this season?
Dalot? With about 10 United appearances?

Kaglish10 · Apr 16, 2019

I hope it's 352 set up. Young in the team is an eyesore.

Wonder if it's Lindelöf. He's played right back before hasn't he, elsewhere? I know Jones had that mad rampaging run for us years back.

ManRed · Apr 16, 2019

Don't know why you guys worried about Messi. Smalling knows the secret to keep Messi quiet.

Dalot has been twice the player Young has been this season.

If the ball comes to him out wide he's just gonna lose it, he doesn't have the pace either. I just don't see how it's gonna work, he looked out of his depth when we played him their against Real Madrid in the super cup.

Plus he is horribly out of form.

I would have gone with Lukaku through the middle and Rashford on the right.

But what do I know.

Hard to argue with that. We could try De Gea at centre-forward, too - who knows, maybe he's a natural.

Wednesday at Stoke · Apr 16, 2019

I'm guessing either Lingard and Young as wing backs or a flat back 4 and a midfield diamond.

Still ill · Apr 16, 2019

It's a 3. Surely it's a 3.

redshaw · Apr 16, 2019

Rom won't be happy after getting two against PSG.

Fingers crossed our young guns can run riot.

Lukaku on the right and Rashford through the middle might have been worth a try. Lukaku is basically our best crosser of the ball...
