Valencia, Shaw and Rooney the stand outs out of those who didn't travel. Micky injured and I assume Jones is too, which is just terrible timing for him.

Shaw went off with a slight hamstring injury against City.

One of the UK papers is running a story that he aggravated the injury picked up on international duty and is out of the next three matches.

I think I'm leaning towards a team like this as well. This game is proving difficult for prediction as I have no idea how much mourinho is gonna change. Only think I would like is to see Memphis from the start because his best performances in a Utd shirt have been in Europe so I think he could have a good game.No Rooney is surprising, but the rest all have knocks of some kind (Shaw, Mkhitaryan, Jones) or played a lot, along with less time back from internationals (Valencia). Or, in the case of Lingard they had probably the worst performance of any player so far this season.
This is probably going to be Jose experimenting with a more traditional 433 to see how it works. He has an excuse as it's a reasonably tough away game.
De Gea
Darmian Smalling Blind Rojo
Herrera Carrick Pogba
Mata Rashford Martial
---
Romero; Bailly, Fosu-Mensah; Schneiderlin, Fellaini; Memphis, Ibrahimovic
Johnstone and Young left out.
If we can establish a lead and control, bring on Schneiderlin for Pogba after an hour, and give Memphis a run out. Big TFM for the last 15 if all goes well.
So Rooney and Micki not traveling would surely mean that Mata starts as #10?
On the other hand, certain players need a rest for the weekend. Pogba, Bailly and Blind being the obvious candidates.Jose needs to be careful, too many changes will disrupt the squad and we could end up losing, look at what happened vs City.

Pogba needs to be playing, he has had no pre-season with us and needs to build an understanding as to what Jose wants from him.On the other hand, certain players need a rest for the weekend. Pogba, Bailly and Blind being the obvious candidates.
Who hasn't travelled/is their any injury news?
Lingard is not in the squad.Final Team:
DDG
Darmian TFM Smalling Rojo
Carrick Schneiderlin
Lingard Mata Depay
Rashford
Yeah, that's a good point. Hopefully in a three man midfield with Herrera and Carrick. Having said that, Schneiderlin needs game time too. Good problem to have.Pogba needs to be playing, he has had no pre-season with us and needs to build an understanding as to what Jose wants from him.

Nice group of players. Did you wangle a ticket?
yeah right
Nearer for you mate. you going?
Reduced crowd due to racism - only 1400 United allocation. Tickets sold out last week.
shame that. Jose was saying something about reduced crowd...did not know why.
Over here the match is on ESPN streaming.
Watching Leicester, winning 0-2.
Looking forward to tomorrow.
If Pogba plays I hope he partners with Ander, they looked good together. Schneiderlin might also look an option alongside them.
