    I agree actually.

    We might have Captain America and Batman in the team at the same time, how could that possibly lose?

    Actually we have the spider (wan Bissaka) and, er, Lingard, who did that bloody Wakanda thing

    Fred with the squad
    He was one of the ones who wasn’t spotted with the team last night.

    Smalling would be a surprise inclusion
    Chris Smalling’s agent is taking in a game at Rangers today, rather than United, which tells you all you need to know. It would be a surprise if Smalling makes the bench today, given he was unused in three of the six pre-season games, Harry Maguire has come in and Axel Tuanzebe is staying.

    Bojan Djordjic was scathing about Smalling and Phil Jones this week to Expressen:

    “Chris Smalling and Phil Jones have been at the club for about ten years and are still a question mark. That means they are not good enough.”

    Wait. Smallings agent isnt at OT so that means Smalling is unlikely to be involved.. Does his agent come to see him every time he plays?

    Traffic problems around the ground
    Greater Manchester Police have advised that due to a serious road traffic accident near to the junction of A5081 Wharfside Way and Sir Matt Busby Way there are significant traffic delays on the north and east sides of Old Trafford. Please avoid the area if possible.
     
    I’m not a religious man but I might quickly pray that we don’t see Matic in the starting line up.

    Surely he can’t be in the starting line up hopefully it’s true.

    If he is actively at other clubs games then I think it is safe to assume he is there for his clients.

    United's formation will be interesting
    The team news will be with us shortly, but it probably won’t be until kick-off that we discover who is leading the line for United today.

    Martial and Rashford both impressed as No.9’s during pre-season and there should be healthy competition between the two to lead the attack this afternoon.

    United’s fluid front three means that a designated striker isn’t necessarily a big issue, but both will be eager to establish themselves as the go-to man following Lukaku’s departure.

    Or maybe he is a football agent looking to scout potential clients.. or arrange a move for one of his clients.

    I'm assuming he does come see Smalling every time, because otherwise, that post doesnt make sense.. But then again, its Luckhurst... he often doesnt make sense

    Why is Lingard wearing Vans pre match so damn annoying to me than it should be? Surely time and place for footwear like that pre match.

    I think I subconsciously judge him these days haha.

    Gotta love Bojan.
     
    No matic is wonderful news. Lingard starting is less encouraging
