    Im not saying Anderson is great but Fletcher is now shocking. Ando would not be as bad and at least offer an option to the defense. Fletcher is no option at all.

    Wait you really think Mcanderson is better option for defensive duties then Fletcher? Well wont argue,will get headache for sure.

    He can play both positions DM and LB, but plays more at left back, I watched a lot of Ajax matches in recent years and I follow eeredivisie very tightly.

    Clearly you don't. He's played there for two seasons and started against barca there. Until and injury at left back forced him back in to left back.
     

    Former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson sighted in Burnley. Our record isn't that great when he's present at games.

    He's injured.

    Plus Valencia was nowhere near as shit as you'd think from the comments on here in his last start. 1 assist, 3 interceptions, 6 tackles won, 92% pass completion.

    Mind the fact that no matter how good Valencia plays majority here keeps blindly moaning how shite he is.

    If we are playing with Fletcher behind ADM and Mata, i think he is outphasing Mata already. He is not build for cm, nevermind cm in prl. Just a theory

    I'd say it's more pure desperation. Our midfield is already weak, and now depleted with injuries. If not that midfield 3, then who else? It's a very attacking midfield, and I'm excited about that. I think Mata has what it takes to play in a midfield 3. He's got two very hard workers around him in Di Maria and Fletcher.
     
    RVP and Rooney up top? Brilliant. Only one fit CM and it's Fletcher? Brilliant. Evans as the sweeper? God help us all. This is going to be a long game.

    He wasn't too bad defensively. But apart from the assist he was awful going forward, 92 percent completion shows how conservative he was which is completely counterproductive when the wingback is the main attacking outlet in the formation in terms of time & space.

    Because he hasn't played well. At all. He's shite.
     
    I have a feeling we'll score a few today.
     
    Just stuck a tenner on us to win @ 4/7

    I have an awful feeling that I'm gonna regret it.
     
    It will be interesting to see how we line up once Herrera, Rojo, Blind, Shaw and Carrick return???
     

    Chris Foy the referee for today's match. He has refereed Manchester United matches 35 times in total. He has only sent a player off once - Gary Neville in 2009 when we played Barnsley away.

    To be fair Im sick of people thinking a defensive midfielder is another defender. It is one of the causes of our tiresome football this last few years. I like to look at them as the first form of attack. Remember we are playing Burnley and Ando would instructions could easily do better than Fletch in that position.
     
    Lets hope we'll get the offence working so we don't have to worry about our flaws in our defence. I'm thinking 3-1 United.

    I don't think I've been this excited for an ordinary Premier League game since the game at Old Trafford against Bolton in 2003.
     
    Well,I am actually excited for this game...can feel some positive vibes in me.
     
    Need a strong performance to get the confidence back which we had in pre-season.

    Come on United!!!
     
    I can't fecking wait till Valencia and Young are no longer the first names on the teamsheet. Just wondering how long I'll have to wait... :(
