Smalling has a knock doesn't he? Don't think there's any choice but to give Jones minutes today. Probably the right decision to.
Will probably just play 45. He hadn't played for us in a few weeks.I was really looking forward to seeing Tuanzebe at CBRooneys last game at Old Trafford! Expecting a 70 minute sub for Gomes and a standing ovation for him.8/11 for me. Got Rooney, Lingard and Jones wrong.14:03KEY EVENT
Smalling absent through injury
Don’t read too much into Phil Jones’ inclusion today. Chris Smalling has a toe injury, meaning the England defender had to come in.
Is Jones starting an indication that he will not be starting in Stockholm? Has Smalling got the nod?
Good info.Never been more happy to see Lingard on a teamsheet. It's an alright team, but Rooney up top means it will be a snorefest.So badly want to see Angel get some minutes.
Wow, bet he still plays in the final14:03KEY EVENT

9/11. Got Rooney and Jones wrong so pretty happy with that. Think two of my subs (Gomes and Martial) will come on (other one is Rooney).Toe injury? And you wonder why Mourinho questions his mentality. The guy is finished at United imo.Mourinho has already said Smalling has a very minor injury but will be fit for the final.14:03KEY EVENT

Will be Jones and Blind for final
Yes big chance for him to start. It's between him and Martial I think.Fecking Rooney
may indicate that Mata is starting the Final?
Ffs Smalling.The lineup puts Fosu-Mensah at right back and Tuanzebe in midfield surely it will be the other way around?
Palace playing a pretty strong team. No Cabaye though.
You're not alone. I want all full debuts for subs9/11 missed Lingard and had Smailling for Jones. Hopefully this means that Martial will start in the final!Can't wait to watch this match. I have not gotten time to monitor our youth players, so this will be somewhat a good game to do so.
I use to think that Manchester United should rebuild by promoting their youth player and signing few quality players, rather than signing galacticos players and outspending our competitors each summer.
Hopefully, some of these players put in a good performance and show Mourinho that there is some quality in the youth team.How many toe injuries does Smalling getHow come Mitchell is playing LB these days? I remember him scoring quite a few goals as a striker before his injuries.
Nah. I think if Jones was starting the final he wouldn't be risked in this game. Smalling will be fit.Jones to come off at half time for blind and both to start the final would be my guess.
Or Lingard at half time maybe.
£11.4m is at stake for them apparentlyI wonder what Martial thinks when he looks around on the bench.
Doubt it. Lingard, Mkhi aren't in the squad so will probably start.Excited about this. Even if we dont win, its exciting seeing this happen. Kinda wish the league / top 4 was over some time ago so we could have seen more / earlier debutants.
Lingard starts
...
Not really. Lingard is well-rested. He'll play 60 minutes and then start Wednesday. I don't see any problem with that.
Both Mata and Martial have played a lot recently. Even as subs, they need a breather.Who of Jones, Lingard, Pogba, Rooney will play the full 90 then?
He's still scoring from LB tbf. At a lower rate though. Plus he takes pens.
Lingard is starting today.
Yeah, but that doesn't fit the narrative of "ffs won't play through injury, must be a pussy, championship level".
It's a nothing game. Weird outrage about him missing our most pointless game of the season.- Status
