    Always good to see the youngsters get a run out, living the dream. It should hopefully be a fun game to watch with no expectation, which means we won't get so frustrated with the game if it's not going well. I always like the end of season send off after the game to, especially when there's a final still to be played.
     
    Come on Palace, join in the fun and field an under 23 team too, we can get fined by the Premier League together :D.

    What's happened to Regan Poole? Is he likely to play?

    I'm finding it's a difficult sell.

    :) yes I can imagine.....I mean how can one sell it? Last time we see De Gea in a United shirt? Last home game of the season...always quite good when with a final to come the players will probably get good support and applause at the end. Mourinho speech?.....rallying for the final?

    Obviously I haven't included the actual game here!

    Pretty much those things to be honset.

    I'm avoiding using false-promises such as "entertaining", "exciting" and "goals"

    Are you sure its only 9?
     
    Big Sam saying he'd also rest players if he was in Jose's position, so sticking by his mate.

    Whilst I agree it is daft that this HAS to be played on Sunday (it really doesn't) - I don't think there would be much difference to our lineup if it was played on Saturday morning.

    No Carrick Pogba or Martial imo

    Yes, Playing Martial will end his career at United.
    Other than Pogba for fitness, Carrick and Rooney can play to give them a last outing. Lingard too, if we are not going to start him in final but unlikely.

    Probably will be a couple more experienced players in the starting XI though.

    Meant he will throw a fuss and leave United. Before the final, any good player who miss the final by manager thinking of sidelining him will get ready to transfer.

    Edit: End of his career

    Not a single first team player that we want to be involved in the matchday squad for the EL final should play a single minute for this game.

    This game means nothing, risking an injury to any player we could use for the final would be daft.

    Dearnley, Harrop and Olosunde added. Let me know if there are any more.

    Cheers! According to José post-match, there won't. If a potential scenario comes up, I'll let you know. Top work, mate!
     
    EARLY TEAM NEWS FOR UNITED V CRYSTAL PALACE
    Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has guaranteed there will be some fresh faces in the line-up when the Reds take on Crystal Palace on Sunday, with Paul Pogba also set to return.

    The boss name-checked several youngsters and confirmed Joel Pereira will make his Premier League debut in goal against Sam Allardyce's Eagles at Old Trafford. Demi Mitchell, Matty Willock, Josh Harrop and Zak Dearnley are also in line to make their senior bows at any level as none of them have even had a loan spell away from the club.

    Pogba will get a run out in the final Premier League game of a demanding season after being granted compassionate leave due to the sad death of his father.

    "Sunday will be a big day for the kids because lots of them are going to play," said the boss. "I hope the crowd enjoys that, in spite of it not being a big, strong Manchester United team.

    "I hope to play Joel against Crystal Palace. He’s a very good goalkeeper so we’re in safe hands."

    When asked about when David De Gea will next play, Mourinho replied: "I think in the first match against LA Galaxy in pre-season in Los Angeles [on 15 July]. David is the top [keeper] in the world and obviously we want to keep the top [goalie] in the world.

    "I don't go with 'if he leaves' as I hope he doesn't leave. I think we need two top goalkeepers and a top young goalkeeper and this is what we have in this moment. David is David and Sergio is Sergio. Spain's national-team keeper and Argentina's national-team keeper.

    "For me, it's amazing to have it. Everything went very smoothly during the season. Everyone was accepting my decisions and I'm really happy with both of them. I'm also very happy and, the next match, Joel is playing his first match in the Premier League. The kid also deserves this."

    Mourinho went on to reveal virtually all of his squad news for the weekend during his press conference at St Mary's, after the draw with Southampton.

    "I don't tell you," he initially insisted, but then added: "I will bring Mitchell, he was on the bench. [Scott] McTominay, he was on the bench. Of course, Axel [Tuanzebe]. Of course, Eric Bailly and [Matty] Willock will come too. Josh Harrop will come. Zachary [Dearnley] will come.

    "Pogba will come because Paul is not training or playing since his dad passed away. I will put two or three of my boys rotating during the game, making some changes to save them, but I need to give a little structure of four or five of my boys to give some stability to the kids. I don't think, by themselves, they will be in [the right] conditions to play the game."
     
    Id start like this:
    Romero
    Valencia Jones Blind Darmian
    Carrick
    Herrera Pogba
    Mkhi----------Martial
    Rash​

    De Gea
    Bailly Smalling Tuanzebe Mitchell
    Fellaini McTominay
    Mata Harrop Lingard
    Rooney​

    With Pogba getting few minutes in the second half.

    Interesting. It will be curious in itself to see where Mourinho places the youngsters. For instance, wasn't McTominay being used as a center-forward lately? I've seen him as a substitute for Fellaini during his suspension, but that would suppose a 4-3-3, I guess, specially if Pogba's taking part.
