Hour before the game starts. So 25 more minutes

I'm not talking about the line up. I mean actually seeing the players come off the bus into the stadium

NJM78 · Aug 19, 2018

I hope Rashford is not starting, would like to see Lingard and Martial come in.

Walters_19_MuFc · Aug 19, 2018

Young coming in would provide more of an attacking threat at full back, however, it be nice to see us use the same back four consecutively.

lex talionis · Aug 19, 2018

Didn't get my XI in on time.

De Gea
Darmian Bailly Lindelof Shaw
Fred Pereira Pogba
Lingard Lukaku Sanchez

Surely we would have known the squad by now or have they not arrived yet?

I honestly don't know. I haven't heard anything about Sanchez being injured or unavailable, only that he hasn't travelled with the squad. He could have used other means of getting to Brighton for all we know.

JinnerJamie · Aug 19, 2018

Didn’t this happen a few times last season were players didn’t travel with the squad but ended up playing?

Yeh agreed. Just got to wait and see. I'm more concerned about my fantasy league than if Manchester United can cope without him :lol:

Team I'd like to see (feck all chance it will happen though)
Ddg
Young Bailly Lindelöf Shaw
Herrera Fred Pogba
Rashford Lukaku Martial

Sanchez mother has taken ill right?

M Bison · Aug 19, 2018

I hope he changes the whole right hand side, Darmian and Mata weren't up to it vs Leicester and we need more

Yes, it is a tactic used to alter the oppos team usually.

I want to see Rashford get as many minutes as possible this season. If Sanchez is out it's the perfect time to start him. His professionalism and work rate puts him way ahead in the queue than Martial for me.

DomesticTadpole · Aug 19, 2018

The first of the leaked XI's.

Leaked XI
The suggestion is United have made two changes. The unconfirmed XI is:

De Gea, Young, Lindelof, Bailly, Shaw, Pereira, Fred, Pogba, Mata, Rashford, Lukaku.

That is only rumour at this stage and previous leaked XIs have featured an error or errors.

@Sassy Colin As I said huh ?

Fingers crossed. Been ages since I got two starting XI's correct in a row.

Sanchez injured, according to Jose Mourinho. Young and Lukaku back in after World Cup exertions. #MUFC

Why Rashford and not Martial?

All the talk of a fresh summer etc, injured after one game.

Martial hasn't had enough game time. With him going home for his baby, his pre-season was reset. Rashford will be fitter.

feck our luck with injuries

OldSchoolManc · Aug 19, 2018

Is it all ex Liverpool in the commentary again? Does my head in with the bias.

Seven Seas Sardines · Aug 19, 2018

Fecking Mata in an away game?

Right side to be overrun once more, while Brighton can double down on Rashford..

scorgasm · Aug 19, 2018

villain · Aug 19, 2018

Martial starts!

el3mel · Aug 19, 2018

Martial, now that's a surprise.

FootyGirl88 · Aug 19, 2018

Pereira starting again ❤

Ah feck.

Walters_19_MuFc · Aug 19, 2018

Three changes

Young in for Darmian
Martial in for Sanchez
Lukaku in for Rashford

haram · Aug 19, 2018

Nice line up. Lets gooooo!

BusbyMalone · Aug 19, 2018

Really surprised by Martial starting.

Raw · Aug 19, 2018

Go on Martial lad

changes from the opening day win over Leicester - what do we think, #MUFC fans? #BHAMUN

Charlie Foley · Aug 19, 2018

9/11 but happy to see Mata and Martial start

Good team

Rashford was shite last week, glad official line up has Martial, let the two rotate and then get the one on form playing.

Norris · Aug 19, 2018

Great team. As good as it can be minus Sanchez.

jungledrums · Aug 19, 2018

Tony!

el3mel · Aug 19, 2018

Pretty sure that's our best possible lineup without Sanchez except for Lingard and Matic. Hopefully we prove it on the pitch.

Leftback99 · Aug 19, 2018

Baffling how Mata keeps his place for a tough away game. Hopefully Martial takes his chance with a good performance.
