I think they'll beat us. We look a tad behind in match fitness and with their pace up front it's gonna be difficult. Musa looks a great addition.

He better not becomes one of those players that alot of people on here will want us to sign next season because he had an amazing season and has suddenly become a worldclass player, aka the next Mahrez.

Musa been available for a very long time for a very cheap price, we even decided not to get him last winter if I remember correctly. He can score 20 goals and 20 assists but I don't want anyone now suddenly wanting us to sign him like he is a new revelation of a player that we didn't know about.

RedElf · Aug 5, 2016

Should Valencia not be moved from midfield to defense in the lineup predictions options?

Gerald G · Aug 5, 2016

I will be perfectly honest, I think we will lose this match. I still think we're a little behind most teams in terms of match sharpness. Their pace up top will cause us problems.

11101 · Aug 5, 2016

Not overly confident on this, we look a week or two behind where we should be in pre-season. Then again Barcelona tore them to bits a few days ago.

To be fair they can do that to most sides

My thoughts too. I reckon Leicester will have been all over this from a preparation point of view.

Ish · Aug 5, 2016

About time we move Valencia to the defenders pile in the team selection section? @Damien

2-1 to us. Herrera, Martial. Musa for them.

Glanville95 · Aug 5, 2016

Shaw up against Mahrez will be an interesting battle.

RonaldoVII · Aug 5, 2016

Can see this going to penalties

JoaquinJoaquin · Aug 5, 2016

I think we will win this one. Be a tight game though I reckon.

It's next weekend I worry about...

Simpson - Morgan - Huth - Fuchs
Mendy - Drinkwater
Mahrez --------------- Gray

Reckon it'll be

Schmeichel
Simpson - Morgan - Huth - Chilwell
Mahrez - Mendy - Drinkwater - Albrighton
Vardy - Musa

Panther · Aug 5, 2016

No way we can pick 6 subs?

dannyrhinos89 · Aug 5, 2016

1-1 fulltime

dreading the pace of vardy and musa it's bound to give our midfield and Defence issues

Think we will win it on pens though

Sassy Colin · Aug 5, 2016

@Niall, I thought we were allowed 6 subs in this match, or can the system not cope with that?

DatIrishFella · Aug 5, 2016

1-0 to United. Zlatan with the goal. Early first half.

If they'll play a 4-4-2, we could smash them. Jose once said:

...I will always have an advantage against a pure 4-4-2 where the central midfielders are side by side. That’s because I will always have an extra man...

Against our 4231 we would have the advantage

Yes there are 6 subs but it's programmed to work with 3 and I ain't changing it for one glorified friendly match!

Red Dreams · Aug 5, 2016

would be great if some day we were allowed 6 subs in the regular matches. Probabaly for another thread.

VorZakone · Aug 5, 2016

Still can't believe Leicester fecking City won the title. Just madness.

Don't blame you tbh.

Exactly what I said just with Schneiderlin for Carrick.

My lineup predictions are submitted for Sunday. What's my prize for winning it last season ?

more options to change a match outcome. But it may be unfair to teams with smaller squads.

Giant Midget · Aug 5, 2016

DDG

Valencia Bailly Blind Shaw

Carrick Herrera

Mikhitariyan Rooney Martial

Ibra

Give the man a tagline @Damien

OldTrevil · Aug 5, 2016

What I expect to see:

--------------DDG----------

Valencia--Bailly--Blind--Shaw

-----Herrera----Carrick----

Mkhitaryan--Rooney--Martial

------------Ibra--------------

What I'd love to see especially since they are likely to play 442:

--------------DDG----------

Valencia--Bailly--Blind--Shaw

Herrera----Carrick----Schneiderlin

Mkhitaryan--Ibra--Martial

Leftback99 · Aug 5, 2016

Is Martial injured? Not in today's training pictures.

Gerald G · Aug 5, 2016

De Gea
Valencia--Bailly--Blind--Shaw
Carrick--Herrera
Mkhitaryan--Rooney--Martial
Ibrahimovic

If Martial is injured then Rashford or Memphis should replace him.

The way he was saying about minutes. Is he going to start with the ones who need minutes and replace them with ones who have had plenty? There are no more games after this before the season starts.

Schneiders won't be a starter for United this season. He'll get some games but he won't be in the first XI. Wouldn't be surprised if Leicester nick this. Can just see Musa cutting through the midfield and defence that we have. They just look sharper than us at the moment.

spwd · Aug 6, 2016

I've gone for 3-2 to us, maybe a tad optimistic.

Seems realistic enough to me.

worldinmotion66 · Aug 6, 2016

In the match day line up predictor, how does the scoring work regarding the substitutions? Mourinho is allowed up to 6 substitutes on Sunday, yet we can only select 3.
