One of the biggest challenges for Ole so far.

I swear you say this for every game.

Why Bruno?

Cos Ace.

4-4-2 with diamond midfield?

Why o' why is Bruno playing?

He'll have to play Leicester on the weekend

Team's fine but I feel like we should be saving Bruno for the Premier League.

Paul_Scholes18 · Dec 23, 2020

Bloody hell why no proper right back vs Richarlison (if he plays). Very strange team, but it got potential to play well.

Chief123 · Dec 23, 2020

I did think 352 at first but would only work if VDB is the right wing back which I doubt.

I imagine Tuanzebe or Bailly will be right back.

Vintagered · Dec 23, 2020

TEAM NEWS: United line-up confirmed
United XI: Henderson, Tuanzebe, Bailly, Maguire, Telles; Matic, Pogba, Van De Beek, Fernandes; Greenwood, Cavani.

Subs: Grant, Fosu Mensah, Shaw, Fred, Martial, Rashford, Lingard

RedDevilRoshi · Dec 23, 2020

Very surprised Bruno is starting. Thought he would have been on the bench and only be called upon if required.

NJM78 · Dec 23, 2020

Poor Bruno being played to death.

So Mata is not fit?

I hope not resting Bruno doesn't come back to bite us.

Would have liked Facundo to have gotten a place on the bench!

He is our most important player and has played a LOT of minutes.

Oh no *clutches pearls* a professional athlete is playing football.

If there is one aspect of online fan culture that needs to die a death, it is people online pretending they have any insight into how to best manage the playing time of footballers.

stu_1992 · Dec 23, 2020

Surprised to see Fernandes starting. Thought he'd for sure get a rest. The defense looks a bit confusing but I guess Tuanzebe at right bavk? Other than that it's about the expected amount of changes.

Mibabalou · Dec 23, 2020

Cavani - Greenwood
Bruno
Pogba ------ VDB
Matic
Telles - Bially - Maguire - Tuanzebe
Henderson

Very strong bench and very strong team, Ole wants a trophy.

I disagree and would have played Mata, lingard, james to give bruno a rest...

No they didn't. Pray tell how some trophies won by M. Houllier in 2000-1 laid any foundation whatsoever for the league title won by H. Klopp in 2018-19, almost 20 years later.

The state of this post doubling down on stupidity

This isn’t the place for the discussion but maybe if you guys read from other perspectives rather than your own narrow mindedness, you’d do a bit better.

The French tactician’s work on and off the pitch helped restore the Reds to their position of one of Europe’s biggest forces, and laid foundations for further success in the years to come.

Quoted from:

In addition I said those cup trophies, not JUST Houiller’s achievements brought them back to the top.

Oh no. Two games in a week. Is this man insane?

El Presidente · Dec 23, 2020

Bruno should really have been rested for this. Hopefully, we’re winning in the second half.

352?

How?

Nou_Camp99 · Dec 23, 2020

9 changes from us speaks volumes about the importance of this game. The schedule has been ridiculous due to covid.

TheGodsInRed · Dec 23, 2020

Seems crazy to play Bruno when we have Leicester at 12:30 Saturday.

ClaytonBlackmoorLeftPeg · Dec 23, 2020

Why is Bruno B.Fernandes? Understood it when we have the nevilles.

charlenefan · Dec 23, 2020

It's unlikely to be a question asked of Ole but where is Williams?

No the European games and the derby maybe.

SirAnderson · Dec 23, 2020

Lingard back on the sub roster

Yes he probably does

still a decent side. We have good depth now.

Strange. I figure if it was a lower team than Everton maybe he would have featured. It definitely doesn't make sense developing his game all season last year and then let him have nothing to build on to this season.

Ekeke · Dec 23, 2020

Seems like Tuanzabe RB and Bruno RW, DVB in the middle

Irrational. · Dec 23, 2020

I see Messe Lingod is on the bench.

Guy could use a little rest. This was the game in which to do it.

el3mel · Dec 23, 2020

Not sure about Tuanzebe at right back but I remember him doing well there at one occasion against Arsenal.

Rest of lineup is pretty good. Our squad depth is great. Gone are the days we play Lingard and shite when we want to rest players.

Offside · Dec 23, 2020

Utd have good squad depth nowadays that’s 9 changes and still a quality side

Ole is a bad ass. As a player, you really dont want to get on his bad side, as he'll blank you forever!

Skåre Willoch · Dec 23, 2020

Good lineup, that. Take Bruno off after 60 for someone hungry.

Sandikan · Dec 23, 2020

Good looking lineup.
Some of us still want to see our club win this cup.

Paul_Scholes18 · Dec 23, 2020

Feels like Ole is trusting the squad, but I think we should have more first teamers in it. I hope Henderson bounce back and Tuanzebe from his last game.

PoTMS · Dec 23, 2020

Where the feck is Caicedo?

Red Devil 26 · Dec 23, 2020

Wonder if it'll be a diamond or 4-2-3-1 with Pogba on the left.
