Shame about Mata having to sit this one out, but I'm excited to see Falcao from the start. Hopefully shut up some of the moaners in the Welbeck thread.

Mata deserved to keep his place. RvP should have dropped out.Maybe LVG thinks Leicester will park the bus so he put Falcao on for Mata.Wow, what a tremendous buzz around for todays match (and I live in Warrington!). United shirts everywhere. What a difference a week makes
Tougher test (than QPR) this, after they drew with Arsenal. Expecting a decent win all the same. Enjoy everyone. COME ONMata omission is a bit bizarre. van Persie really hasn't performed at all, he better start now.
Swedish reporters leak again
The time VG tries to fit in 3 strikers, and replace a perfect no10 in mata for rooney, is when VG must be questioned. RVP has been terrible, and he is the one that should be dropped todayMata dropped? RVP still in, wouldn't be happy..It's not confirmed though, is it?
Rvp played his best game so far last week. So did Mata, but someone had to drop out I guess.Feel bad for Mata, but cannot wait for Rooney, RVP and Falcao in the same team.Ugh. Knew LvG would do this. Harsh on Mata. We need 'good' Rooney today.
No he hasn't.
It happened last week, some Swedish reporters managed to leak it again.
RVP has zero goals, mata has 2, yet RVP could still start todayJAYZUSPlenty of options for us though! Leicester would have planned for Mata, good team selection headaches to have tbh.Mata dropped. Disgusting.Thats the diamond again, not 3-5-2.Blackett keeps his place. Well done lad.Mata dropped?? Why?RVP needs to show his worth or he'll be dropped today.Well, who the hell got all of those right? Disappointed for Mata, and don't think three strikers will work. Anyway, GGMU.Bit harsh on Mata!

DDGBut hopefully:
Blackett - Evans - Rojo
Rafael _____________ Blind
Herrera - Di Maria
Rooney
Van Persie - Falcao
DDG
Rafael - Blackett - Evans - Rojo
Blind
Herrera - Di Maria
Rooney
Van Persie - Falcao
Harsh on Mata.Rooney's defensive qualities are preferred over Mata's.
It makes sense, Leicester have done well so far.Very harsh on Mata imo. I didn't like the look of us after he went off against QPR tbh, I hope the 3 work well together today though.Come on Falcao!!Is Wilson injured?Mata dropped for Rooney ffs
He has. You obviously haven't watched our games.Not sure how I feel about dropping Mata but hey, let's give it a go. I bet Leicester are a physical side that would try to bully Mata all match.
Rooney has to step it up though in the #10.
Sachin , Lara and Viv are in the highest bracket of greatness. I can't praise them enough, talents who changed their sport forever like Messi and Luis Ronaldo have done in football. The Aussies and the English wax lyrical about Warnie and he was a special player - but Lara and Sachin took him to the cleaners more than once. From the 90s only Sir Curtly and maybe one of Wasim/Mcgrath ever stood par with those two.390 runs in a day he got. Crazy, teams don't score that combined.
Brian Lara masterclass was on earlier, the way he could hit the same delivery to 3 different areas, amazing
Sachin combined Giggsy's longevity but never dropped lower than top 4/5 in the world at his position till the last 8-10 months of his career. Crazy!
Because he's fecking AWESOME.
Those Three up top..Falcao will play for 60 mins. Mata will come on in the 2nd half all fresh. I've no complaints. People are writing off RVP way too soon. He played quite good last week, just couldn't score. Was really unselfish near the end trying to set Falcao up, and they seemed to link up more than RVP - Rooney.
I have absolutely no idea how you've come to this conclusion.Man Utd Starting XI: De Gea, Rafael, Evans, Blackett, Rojo, Blind, Herrera, Di Maria, Falcao, Rooney, Van Persie.
Subs: Lindegaard, Shaw, Smalling, Fletcher, Mata, Valencia, JanuzajYeah I'm with the opinion that its very harsh on Mata, but, we see Rooney, RVP and Falcao all start, what an absolute world class strike force that is- Status
