Im sure he’ll come on at some point but we literally have 1 fit RW and would rather move our best creator out wide (where he’s slow and can’t dribble while being quite ineffective). We genuinely have two total players with legs in that team and people wonder why we can’t counter like we used to.

Im sure he’ll come on at some point but we literally have 1 fit RW and would rather move our best creator out wide (where he’s slow and can’t dribble while being quite ineffective). We genuinely have two total players with legs in that team and people wonder why we can’t counter like we used to.Also if the solution to “add legs” into a midfield is stuffing 4 players that are all pretty immobile on their own with the best one playing out wide… it’s not a good solution.
Pellestri is good enough to start a game against Brighton. And yes, this is Brighton folks... not Real, Citeh, Pool'... but Brighton, who are good, v good... but what's the point of being named in the Man Utd First Team squad if you're not going to start games?
ETH has to show faith in the youngsters sometimes. You think De Zerbi would hesitate giving someone a game aginst us?
Play the kid. He may, may actually do very well. We seem to be losing that confidence in the club. Play him.
McTominay is at least mobile if nothing else, come on...
Case McTominay
Bruno
Pallistri Hojlund Rashford
Much better line up than what we've gone with. We're moving one of our best players out wide where he's never impressed leaving us with Eriksen and Mct through the middle against a side who keep the ball
Basically we need to crossbreed McTominay and Eriksen into one footballer. We've got two players to do the job we need 1 to do.Hojlund’s time to shine - our only out and out striker discounting Martial who is here to make up the numbers anywayI'd like the line up to be a diamond, but it'll be Bruno off the right.
Happy enough with it thgouh.
Nah...not today, too much pressure. 100% correct he starts from the bench.
Edit - But I hope he comes on late to score the winner
Why do we insist of keeping him in the squad? I am sure he could have found a new club in the summer.Also Bruno becomes half the creative player he usually is when playing from the rightNo problem with the line up at all but knew the boss would not start Pellistri.
Nice discussionGet over it? It's a discussion
McSauce the goalscoring threat AND Højlund on the pitch together!
I think we might be okay, lads Give him a fecking chance
And Lingard. Don't forget LingardWe have a chance here of topping Liverpools against all odds victory when we face Prime Barcelona and Messi(Mitoma) with our team of competition winners at Old Trafford.
You have to wonder why ETH has put us in this position by dropping greats of the game Pellestri and AWB - how will we cope without these two?
6-0 Brighton
Yeah exactly, and that’s exactly why McTomminay should get a game. He’s done well for Scotland.
Never we can now safely say thatInterested to see how Hojlund gets on.Imagine if Bruno gets a goal and assist coming off that right hand side now. Think the 'Caf might explode.Bruno on the right is an absolute joke
You're right
Once you say something as ridiculous as get over it,then it's obvious where the direction is going, good job Give him a fecking chance
Tell Ten Hag that
Ridiculous he went away in first placeWas watching the Arsenal game today.
Hojlund looks like a good player and looks like. a player that is be devastating in
He will score from a Bruno cross from the rightPellistri’s defensive output is probably too weakWe have a knack of handing out debut goals, so if anyone is interested in free money, put it on Fati to score today.What in the flying feck is Ten Hag thinking putting Dalot against Mitoma, especially after AWB had Mitoma in his pocket last time?
Yup. It's obvious ETH doesn't rate him. Nothing wrong with that, he may be not good as we imagined. Sell him while he still has some value. If he keeps warming the bench and doesn't start or doesn't go on loan he won't have any takers and we will end with another Bailly/VDB situation.
I mean there’s really not much to discuss. It’s another young player who doesn’t get time because they’re clearly not ready. Just as countless other young players who haven’t been played by our managers for 20+ years. There’s really no surprise to be had here, so yeah get over itImagine if Bruno gets a goal and assist coming off that right hand side now. Think the 'Caf might explode.
I hope he does, would be good for united
The shout that he won't be on the right will be interesting. Keeping him out wide solely would be a mistake but can also see him crossing / assisting from out there especially to our striker haha
Awb being ill so on the bench makes senseCan see ETH thinking with the line up.I don't mind Bruno on the right, to be honest. He is still able to create, but his weaknesses won't be exposed as much as they do in midfield.
Yeah that's a wild oneAnyway, I think we will be ok today. We played well for long periods against Arsenal and were a little unfortunate not to get a result. We looked far, far more organised, which is obviously the critical thing. So let's take the good things forward from that game.
Rasmus starting is fantastic!
It's a forum, there's always discussion points to be had
Congrats on missing the point of a forum and a discussion board
Eth said awb been ill this week so not fully recovered hence on the bench
Yeah. I’m not saying he’s as good as he is at 10 but he has played well there, especially when he has licence to roam. We also don’t know how Hojland plays in to all this as he likes to roam the channels - I wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up as an out ball to the right and Bruno cuts inside.
You’re really hung up on one word, rather than trying to discuss what I’m saying. Sounds to me like the issue is on your endIt's a forum, there's always discussion points to be had
