    Roy Keane picks his best ever United XI on MNF later on. Why do I feel like he's already done this on MNF about 3 times :lol:
     
    Mata will probably be our best player. He might be old and slow but at least he's got good technique and knows how to play football
     
    Mata gets such an undeserved amount of shit here. He is in no way shape or form not a magician with the ball still. At this point he is probably our most technically gifted player out there
     
    Hopefully Hannibal has the patience to wait for his time to shine.
    Obviously no chance of him getting playtime in the middle of the pitch when we have so many quality options there

    What an odd way to structure this sentence :lol:. Took me a while to get what you were saying. But yes Mata is a good footballer
     
    Can feel this being a tough game, Brentford are a decent side. Glad mata starts, the guy deserves it… really is a professional and decent guy… never moans even though he rarely plays and he never kicks up a fuss even though he’s probably the only player who’d be right to, not getting started ahead of halve of the rubbish we’ve been seeing. Nothing to play for now so it’s all about players putting in a performance for potential buyers in the summer. 3-1 to us. Ronaldo with at least 2.
     
    My first 11/11!

    Glad to see Mata getting a start. He's fully deserved it. Like Mata he probably can't last 90. I hope Ralf has the sense to pull him off between 60 and 75 minutes in. Hopefully for Hannibal rather than Rashford or Lingard. Though I wouldn't mind seeing Cavani for the last few minutes. When he's on the field he always seems to give full effort.
     
    Mata in the center. This might actually be an interesting game.

    I'd prefer Bruno to be on the bench though. He has been terrible.

    Agreed. Mata playing is fine, especially when the other options are Rashford or Lingard. At least he'll be able to keep hold of the ball and pass to a red shirt.
     
    Should give Garnacho a chance ahead of Cavani if needed. There is absolutely no reason to play Cavani.
     
    Why not start Mata? The alternatives haven't exactly been tearing it up this season.

    I hope Garnacho gets some time to impress tonight.
     
    Earlier in the week I thought 2-2, now I think it'll be a Brentford win

    If Ralf is going to pull him off I hope he does it in the changing rooms.

    Are people complaining about Mata?

    Half the players on that bench of ours aren't fit to lace Juan Mata's boots. He's a reminder that Paul Pogba isn't the only World Cup winner in our team.

    Quite looking forward to seeing how he gets on with Cristiano Ronaldo. At least Mata can make a pass and has a football brain.

    I mean, Varane has won it too.
     
    Bloody hell, we are playing today? I can't believe that i didn't knew that. That sums up this season...

    McT in team. Yay!!
