Until when would people realise that Rafael won't start today?

Same folks who would be saying that "If that Pereira is so good, he should be starting against this lot tonight"

Isn't Carroll injured?

Yep he's injured like Collins and Reid
It will be still a tough match.

Other than a strong shout that Victor Valdes may start nothing more yet #MUFC team v #CUFC

I'm really looking forward to this tonight. Hopeful, I guess.

Cue a dodgy team selection to drain all of that excitement.

I'd assumed it would be on bbc (like the first game) and just realised it's on fecking BT. Can't believe it. Crappy stream here I come.

That Steve Bates cnut is starting to piss me off. What kind of journalist intentionally leaks a lineup well in advance of a game. It's one thing to speculate, but another to just give the opposition a clear idea of the other side's tactics.

That is what I am starting to find annoying.

what am i missing here... don't official lineups get announced an hour ahead of time? and bates announces them a few minutes before that?

this probably shows how out to lunch i am here, but i don't see the big deal.

No, he tends to say what the lineup is at least an hour ahead of when it's announced.

Stewart Gardner always put Herrera in the team, he wants him to play as much as the rest of us.

Good, annoying that the team news has been leaked so much. Can't be good that the opposition gets to know our plans so early.

Di Maria instead of Mata or Januzaj and I'd be delighted with that

Feck sake, that's too strong of a team. Pereira and McNair should play.

So what you're saying is that Cambridge came out of their own half and as a result conceded 4 goals. Let's hope they dare cross the half way line at Old Trafford, we'll double that if they do.

The reality is that they will play for extra time and penalties and push for set pieces. Get an early goal and force them to need to score and we will chew them up and spit them out. Its essential we play expansive football and use the width well, hopefully a nice level zippy surface to ping it about too compared to that BMX track in the first leg.

This.

If both lineups are announced an hour before the game, as is usually the case, then having ours leaked two hours before is a massive disadvantage as it gives the opposing side the opportunity to change their lineup. Not too important with regards to Cambridge, but against a proper side it could be pretty fecking important.

Edit: Even if the opposing side doesn't change their lineup (it's unlikely) they still have the opportunity to go over their tactics in depth in relation to how we're going to line up. Aside from all that, having a rat in the dressing room is just not good for obvious reasons.

Ghengis · Feb 3, 2015

I hope we play the strongest team possible, because i think one of the reason we still haven't clicked yet is all the changes in our team all the time because of injuries and etc. So when everyones fit we need a consistent team especially the back four. We may see Valdes make his debut today but im not sure. I would go for this team.

De Gea

Valencia/Rafael if fit
Smalling
Rojo
Shaw

Blind
Herrera
Fellaini

Januzaj
Falcao
Di Maria

Maybe have Rooney or Mata instead of herrera or fellaini and play a 4-2-3-1. Rest RVP since he just came back from injury.

Really excited about this game. I have a feeling we will slaughter them and go to London on sunday full of confidence

If it is 'too strong', then we'll surely build up a healthy lead. As soon as we do, we can sub on some youngsters. If we don't build up a big lead, then it obviously wasn't 'too strong of a team.'

That way you minimise the risk of an upset but also ensure that youngsters get played as long as it's an appropriate game to play them in.

Perreira played 90 mins for the U-21's last night, no chance he would play tonight.

Hey, at least it isn't as bad as Liverpool, I read Liverpool are now having to install private screens to prevent onlookers from leaking their side.
