I think he's completely spent after having to play a game of football the other day.

Carrick to come in for Matic on Saturday may be a decent shout
Unless he's really injured, which I believe he is. No way Mourinho wouldn't take him to Russia, will all his experience, when we're missing Pogba and Fellaini also.This could be a tricky outing but i think we can be bullish with them what with our speed and patience and all..No Valencia, no Blind.
Shaw and Darmian to start?!
Why no Blind? Shaw hasn't even travelled.
Do we have a January recall option for TFM?
Is Valencia out?I'm guessing that Brazilian guy isn't still with them. Wagner or something, not sure of his name.
Must be good
Yeah, rested.
We have so much defensive players, why would we need to recall Fosu-Mensah?
You thinking about the guy who was on X Factor?
If Valencia keeps struggling with his knee or whatever it is, we need TFM.
Vagner-Love. Quick google search says he's tearing it up in Turkey.You thinking about the guy who was on X Factor?
Vagner Love - I mean, how do you forget a name like that?
I recall him having blue hair aswell, quite the character.
Do we? Besides the most obvious substitute, that is Young, we still have Darmian, Bailly, Tuanzebe (all already played there under Mourinho), and Lindelöf (which Mourinho stated could play there too).
Oh yeah, Wagner Love. I remember Cska were pretty good back then, wonder if they are anywhere near that level now.Last edited:Would take a point here. Usually a fine result all in all.I'd prefer a win as it would be nice to wrap up qualification as soon as possible to focus on the league. We have some tough fixtures coming up, so its' better not to leave it too late.
Stroll to a nice, fairly boring 1-0 or 2-0 win while the rest of the world watch the more exciting games tonight.
Too bad PSG vs Bayern is on at the same time. This match in Moscow, in a gmt+4 timezone, should maybe have been played a couple hours earlier.
Haha, thanks for the tip. Didn't expect to be watching that x-factor guy on youtube a few minutes after entering this thread.You thinking about the guy who was on X Factor?
Or maybe the German composerHaha, thanks for the tip. Didn't expect to be watching that x-factor guy on youtube a few minutes after entering this thread.
I expect a confortable win, but not a big margin. It's always difficult to play in russian soil, since they use some strange surfaces.Hoping for Lingard to get a start tonight.Baffled that Shaw isn't included in the squad for this. Doesn't really look good for him when we have half the team out injured and unable to travelShould be an easy win for your lot this one. Look after yourselves to any fans who are making the trip over though, they can be absolute animals and don't feck about, rivalry aside it'd be nice if everyone made it back in one piece. I always worry when an English team gets drawn away to a Russian, Italian or Turkish team.
Not all that baffled the way he strolled across the pitch. Still looks way way way off the pace.
Me too, but unless he plays upfront instead of Lukaku/Rashford, can't figure out a place for him tonight. Could be an attacking leftwingback (he started against Madrid there), but I feel Mourinho is going to be very cautious.
It's more of a morale thing, not being with the squad, cause he will hardly be missed as an option.
Im hoping its the fact that we are easing him back in still and dont want to risk him on a strange hybrid surface.
Though in reality I cant see him still being a United player next season either way.
Don't know. I was shocked at just how far off he still seems.
And yet he was unlucky to have a goal disallowed.
I was thinking to rest Mata and put Lingard in his place, since Mata has played a lot lately. He can play on the right with Mikhi in the middle and Martial on the left. Or he could play in the middle as well, he's played there before.
Makes you wonder how much he puts an effort on training. Or maybe the injury is still very recent.
I understand, but I don't believe we're going 4-2-3-1 tonight, maybe I'm wrong.Was very nervous going in to tonight as Russia is always a tough place to go.
However they are not that good tbh and we are Manchester United!
Going to be an optimist and say a convincing 3-0 prediction.
Don't know, I just don't see a reason to be overly defensive tonight. I don't even have a clue about how good Cska are right now though, they might be dangerous.- Status
