Without wanting to be overdramatic, Pereira really needs to step up tonight. He’s been back full time for 6 months now, he’s 23, the team are playing with confidence and we’re playing Burnley. If he can’t show something tonight you’d have to question whether he really has a future at the club. I’m not expecting him to look like Iniesta, but he needs to show something, which is more than he’s shown so far.

First time since Solskjær has been in charge that I am not confident of a win.
Pereira in the first XI makes me feel nervous. Need a good performance from him.Good line up. Lots of squad rotation - but still brining on in form players. Lukaku, Jones and Mata.
Hoping Andreas has a brilliant game. Fred will probably give Pogba a rest over the next couple of games.Don't panic lads n lasses. This team is more than good enough to dispatch the likes of Burnley.
Rather than winning by a 5 goal margin, we'll have to settle for 4.I hope if Pereira does disappoint people are adult enough to admit the truth about him, people are so desperate to make excuses and defend him, when he’s shown so little for the first team.the reason why Ole start Andreas and Mata because they are good at a free kick, especially when trying to break Burnley defence down, Andrea's crossing is by the best and amazing at the corner so Lukaku can score a header from that.Hope we score and early go and really push. Far from our strongest side.
Its blindingly obvious that there is bias with youth with Ole as well as bias with Pogba. Which is fine since this is a club built on youth players and Pogba is playing amazing.
Every manager has biases, just like the previous manager had a bias towards experience and grafters. Not really a fit for the club but an appointment out of convenience.
The best manager is one who has biases that line up with the club. Ole understands the club and so his habits as a manager are a good thing.
Yep. Basically if we score early, think it’ll be a breeze.
What if he does perform?
Aye
I think he's probably one of those players that playing for their future here. There's a player in there, just not seen it in a Utd shirt other than a few tour matches.....Pereira is brainless. Talented but raw and aimless. He's 23 and I can't see him improving that aspect of his game.
Yes but he hasn't yet. Why don't we wait until the game is done?
It's showing Arsenal for meI hope Pereira grabs this opportunity with both hands.Mata is worse than Pereira tbf
? Then good? Not sure what else you’re expecting me to say. I’ve always liked the lad, really had high hopes for him, but he’s just not shown it for the first team, I’d love it to work out for him here, but I’m very doubtful.
I hope for all our sakes this post comes back to bite you.
His English is good. I'm pretty sure all his interviews since he's joined have been in English.Dalots English
didn't expect that
The guy interviewed on MUTV now
Panic over, showing the 1st 15mins of the Arsenal then switching, phew.
Literally based on what?Surely we have enough to beat Burnley? Still think we'll win by a couple of goals.
I’d suggest jones is in because he’s a bit better in the airGreat to see Pereira starting but we're gonna miss Herrera's bite tonight. Also, have to say, not fancying the inclusion of Mata. Anyway, sticking with 3-0.Need an early goal here to calm people!Lingard transformed the Emirates to the Emptihad.
They’ll just show it until United kick off.
We can live in hope. But Jose was right to bin him.
It has a timer up top counting down to the utd match.
They said they are switching to us at kick off.His performances since the beginning of the season
Mata scored against Juventus. What has Pereira done?
Mata doesn't have clear position and tends to get in peoples way and clog the middle. It's quite worrying.
TBF Ole has said he has been really good in training. So let's give him a chance. He obviously sees something.Not too sure about the front three. Would have preferred Sanchez to start on the left, with rashford leading the line and lukaku on the right wing. Might still end up happening later on in the game though.- Status
