    Blue Tick Wanker. Stop leaking lineups or stop talking bollocks, whichever one is true.
     
    Things in life you can guarantee:

    • Death
    • Taxes
    • United fans on the Internet losing their shit over "leaked" lineups that are never correct.
     
    Starting Maguire and Lindelof in a back 4 is fine as long as McFred are there. I can't see any reason no to go with the Diamond with Paul, Bruno, Rashford, Greenwood(or Cavani). with VdB going in for either Paul or Bruno at some point, in that same diamond.

    Disgraceful if true with James and Mata..we could barely beat Newcastle with that lineup until Paul and vdB came on. Disgraceful

    Mata was outstanding vs Newcastle.

    People are quick to forget when Mata has a good game and revert back to bashing him.... When he and Fernandes play together it usually plays out very well.

    Definitely agree about James though.

    Aye. Mata and Bruno look really good together. Not sure this is a game for Mata though.

    Who else starts on the right?
    Greenwood hasn't had match training for a while, and Pellistri played for U23 last night.

    and Mata will be outstanding again next time we play Newcastle in February..and against the Sheffield UnitedS
    no reason to have him out there against the Chelseas, MCity, 'pool, etc with vdB and PP available (and fit)

    Nah, this is the kind of game a McT/Fred midfield is made for. Would’ve liked to have seen VdB or Greenwood starting, but the lineup makes sense.

    It makes sense from a tactical perspective and they're in good form, I'm just a little concerned about them burning out. Ole has a habit overplaying his current favourite players as we saw at the tail end of last season.

    And James ahead of Greenwood (who is apparently over his injury) is a strange choice.
     
    We are perhaps giving that tweet a little more credit than it deserves too. It could easily be false.
     
    Just remembered the detritus before the PSG match.

    - pathetic
    - cowardly

    were my favourites.

    The Caf losing the plot over someone tweeting, who I expect no one has even ever heard of.

    I just do not see how anyone can hold this opinion in good faith (though I accept you probably do). Spurs and PSG?
     
    Can’t not start Tuanzebe after last game. I think Telles keeps his spot too. 3 at the back again, surely.
     
    Very nervous today because of our recent home form. I hope they play with the same energy as versus PSG. I'm okay with the line-up if it is the same as the Newcastle game, though it would be fun to see Cavani
     
    Hope that is fake. Mata did well but let's not get ahead of ourselves and think he can start in big games where it'll be much higher pace. He did well against Newcastle, who are shite. Neither James or Mata should be starting.
     
    Last time we played them in the PL at SB, we went with the lineup below:
    This time around, that lineup should not be acceptable with Paul and VdB available (and fit)..playing at OT.
    Back 4 + McFred should be more than enough to contain Werneymar:smirk: and Kai (and Pulisic)

    I don’t think you’ve worked yourself up enough. You should be a lot more outraged in your response. And how dare you not specifically blame Ole?

    You forgot to call Ole a coward this time round :lol:
     
    The Mirror saying we could line up like this

    DeGea
    Lindelof Maguire Shaw

    Wan Bissaka———-Pogba Fred———Telles

    Fernandez

    Greenwood Rashford​

    Doesn’t look a to bad a side..
     
    All I'm hoping is that Solskjaer does the right thing and not go down the Maguire undroppable route.

    Mata actually thrives in games where we have to breakdown a bus. I definitely don't want him in a game like today's.
     
    At the end of the day we have Bruno Fernandes, they don't. We will beat the rentboys.

    I'd be happy enough with that. It's about what I expect although he could still go 4231.

    If we are insisting with a back 5 then the following lineup below can work. We just need to keep Paul away from Defensive Midfield duties as his primary task. Telles can pretty much play as a Left Winger with that Lineup with Paul running into the box for headers.
