    :lol:
     
    Nobody mentioning the elephant in the room? Every single time this post-Fergie incarnation of United has been given an opportunity to take advantage of a situation, they bottle it. I'm preparing for the worst

    It's the right pairing for this game without a doubt.

    Bruno can drop a bit deeper and look to find our forwards, Pogba can move higher if needed.

    Rash and TM need to do their bit to track back if needed
     
    Can understand the selection tonight. Bailly, Matic and Pogba all picked to help with defensive headers from Burnley’s aerial bombardment. Whether they do it is another thing but I can see the logic. Wouldn’t surprise me to see Lindelof, Fred & McTominay all return vs Liverpool.

    Delighted with the front 4.... come on!!
     
    Cavani back, Bailly okay after being subbed. Huge boosts, hopefully.
     
    Good lineup. One of the strongest we could have done really. I'd make a case for Fred over Matic and Telles over Shaw but rotation is a part of it all too. Let's hope we out this one to bed early and go clear at the top of the league!
     
    Martial needs to pull out a performance tonight, he has been very poor last 2 months..
     
    Since being battered by City, the results for Burnley haven't beem that bad... a win at Arsenal and a draw with Everton.
    Need to get a goal early or this is going to be a nervy evening....
     
    I thought we'd likely play McTominay for the added defensive presence on set pieces. Matic is tall but doesn't really impose himself in the air.

    Still happy with the team. Matic brings other qualities.

    Martial and Rashford both need to step up, in terms of performance and effort.
     
    Is that a flat 4-3-3?

    I'm not gonna lie, a forward line of Rashford - Cavani - Martial excites me :)

    Amazing the rehabilitation Matic has received in here.

    I’d argue it’s the very opposite. He often gets pelters even though it is statistically certain that we concede fewer goals and win more games when he plays. I’m hardly his biggest fan either. But the reality is that he remains the best at knowing where to be in the middle of the park.
     
    Disappointed with that team selection. Imbalanced and immobile midfield. Hope Ole reacts very quickly if it's not working.
     
    I think the decision to save Fred for the Liverpool game is a good one from Ole.

    A midfield trio of Matic, Pogba and Bruno is plenty good enough for Burnley.
     
    Good starting xi for this match and at the same time resting some players for Liverpool. They are always a bit tough to face but should be 3 points no doubt. Burnley have scored 9 goals so far in the PL, so good chances for a clean sheet.

    Stop with the nonsensical dribbles and Passing to people in better positions would be a good start.

    Save the fancy dribbles when it's the only option

    I agree. I actually like him, his lack of speed is concerning, yet with him in a consistent stretch of games, we look good. I would much rather see him in this match than Sunday.

    He’s our only true DM & plays like it.

    It’s a good call for me, we don’t need Fred hammering their midfield, we need Pogba’s creativity, goal threat and height.

    yeah good point on the height aspect
     
    This first XI is savage. HYPED about this game! Lets to get top of table in January for the first time since 2013!
     
    Pogs needs to be disciplined in this one. There so many attackers so he needs to protect the ball a bit more.

    Over the last 5 matches they have the best form in the bottom half.
