How the mighty have fallen.

I'd be ok with it if those six included Valencia and Young or/and Shaw.

We've played about 8 of those against Arsenal during Fergie times and won comfortably.

Don't remind me of Ferguson. Let's face the horrible present. :lol:

Thrilling news. In a game in which we don't have a great deal to lose I'd prefer it if we could play like a real United team and go for the throat.

Perhaps pair up Rashford and Ibrahimovic, play two wide men and get at Chelsea. If we lose, we lose. If we do play with six defenders then we certainly won't be winning either way.

Mourinho apparently thinks United doesn't stand a chance if we play possession attacking football today.

Did he actually say that?

Might get Fosu to chase and close down Hazard all game ala Welbeck, hopefully he can do it without getting a red.

I'm a big fan of TFM but this gives me anxiety.

six defenders has to be a joke? negative bastard

dunno how true but jody morris replied to Rios tweet that its 6 defenders with Carrick holding

Loublaze · Apr 16, 2017

This is a game where a 1-1 draw will actually be a great result going by our current standards

SkeppyRed · Apr 16, 2017

We don't even have 6 defenders fit.

Android1974 · Apr 16, 2017

Whatever the end result, it would be very disappointing to feature a very defensive 4-4-2 leaving most of our creative attacking players on the bench.

None of whom score.

That would probably be the least experienced group of defenders JM has ever sent out.

Yet it's rumoured that Shaw won't start.

Trophy Room · Apr 16, 2017

Its all just hearsay at the moment but the vibes about todays game suggest that we've just given up on the premier league.

How far we've fallen.

DomesticTadpole · Apr 16, 2017

Bloody hell.

Rumours Zlatan misses out
This would be interesting.

Rudi @RudiMufc
Heard no Zlatan, 5 at the back, Lingard & Rashford up top.

TFM on the coach
He’s in a good mood.

DWelbz19 · Apr 16, 2017

Surely not

Catt · Apr 16, 2017

So @Cassidy was right after all

waza7111 · Apr 16, 2017

de Gea
Tuanzebe - Bailly - Rojo
Carrick
Valencia - Fellaini - Pogba - Darmian
Lingard - Rashford

Mike09 · Apr 16, 2017

6 defenders in XI or 6 defenders formation?

Nostalgic United vs Arsenal when we field 4 defenders plus Rafael and Fabio on the wing. And we still won the game 2-0. Lol

el3mel · Apr 16, 2017

Rashford will start as a striker then ?

He did well against them in the cup so no problem.

Maybe I heard right then....

3KDré · Apr 16, 2017

José ffs when I said I wanted TFM to play I meant a more attacking game without 6 defenders :lol:

.

I hope this isn't true.

NoLookPasser · Apr 16, 2017

I think Zlatan made a comment the other day that he was tired. It would be sensible not to risk him.

Catt · Apr 16, 2017

What's up with Herrera?

Kag · Apr 16, 2017

If Lingard plays up top ahead of Martial then it's just all a bit petty.

Can't imagine Darmian playing there, in all honesty.

O'Shea and Gibson in midfield.

Not top, more like a #10 than a second striker.

He's there, must have just missed him going into the hotel.

Ah so Ander is there then.
