Manchester United 1:0 FC Astana

WR10 · Sep 19, 2019

Right to Manchester United vein. Give it to me

Red Dreams · Sep 19, 2019

The knives have the names of Jones, Matic and Rashford written on them.

They will be out ASAP.

Good team. I'd personally have played Young instead of Rojo, the latter is awful as a LB.

But Young may have to play Saturday if Shaw is not fit

Canagel · Sep 19, 2019

9/11

I thought Ole will pick Young and Mata instead of Rojo and Gomes.

United: Romero, Dalot, Jones, Tuanzebe, Rojo, Matic, Fred, Chong, Gomes, Greenwood, Rashford.

Substitutes: Grant, Maguire, Young, McTominay, Garner, Lingard, Mata.

Good stuff. The only negative is Rashford (he'd rather have some more rest prior to West Ham)

Get the game won early doors and sub him off at HT?

Irwin99 · Sep 19, 2019

Expected it to be a mixed lineup of youth and experience. Matic, Fred, Rojo and Jones all need fitness boosts and competitive games. Will be interesting to see how the kids do. 3-0 United

mu4c_20le · Sep 19, 2019

I thought Arsenal's team was young tonight.. nice to see Dalot back

Young needs to be kept safe for league games at least until Shaw is back.

Bloody hell. You're right, but never thought i'd hear that this season.

Apart from Jones and Matic it's perfect .

Seems you missed Rojo at left-back

Lingard for him at half time would be good for both IMO. Garner for Fred later on in the game too hopefully.

Yes, you are probably correct.

Garner for Matic I hope.

It was bound to happen at some point, he didn't get injured at all last season from what I can remember. We should be looking at getting another LB in Jan.

King Eric 7 · Sep 19, 2019

Rojo worries the feck out of me. Red card waiting to happen. Other than that, what a great line up!

Not sure if Garner next to Fred will be too open. Maybe for one of the front 3 to join a midfield 3 is more realistic as a sub later on to see the game out.

Alabaster Codify7 · Sep 19, 2019

Fairplay to Ole, hats off to him for giving the youngsters a starting berth. Credit where its due there.

2-0 United.

Rashford and ummm…..Greenwood.

The Taurean · Sep 19, 2019

Very existing squad. Hope the youngsters make a good impression. Expecting big from Tuanzebe.

Can't believe Jones and Matić are starting ffs!!

I really hope it's Rashford on the left with Greenwood upfront. Gomes has his chance, he's got to take it .

I expect Rashford down the middle, Greenwood left and Chong on the right

Damien · Sep 19, 2019

Fairly straightforward, just got the Lingard/Rashford call wrong.

Mcking · Sep 19, 2019

prateik said:
None of them is ready. We already know that.

If Gomes bosses the game and Greenwood scores a few, they'd be hyped as ready to be our Silva and Aguero. If it's a quiet game from either, I would expect posts about how they are not ready to play for the first team and how Solskjaer is naive for trusting them.

Me too. Exciting team regardless.

Codie · Sep 19, 2019

Wow I am extremely happy to see Gomes, Greenwood and Chong! Would love to see Garner get 30 mins if we are comfortable.

Drifter · Sep 19, 2019

Exciting lineup on paper .

Think it will be Rashford middle, Greenwood right and Chong on the left.

Raw · Sep 19, 2019

Honestly didn't expect all 3 of Gomes, Chong and Greenwood to start! Can't wait for this!

Garner next to Fred surely is better than a midfield of just Fred?

Dr. Dwayne · Sep 19, 2019

Exciting 11. I can't wait to watch this match in 6.25 hours.

AFC NimbleThumb · Sep 19, 2019

Overjoyed with the line up, bar-Rashford [would have preferred he be wrapped in cotton wool for Sunday] but starting the 3 main youngsters was a must!

Dalit back aswell & Axel at CB, actually looking forward to this game now!

Brightonian · Sep 19, 2019

First time I can ever remember a United manager starting even more kids in a line-up than I would have. Exciting and slightly terrifying!

That team have barely laid eyes on each other before in a competitive line-up - Gomes, Chong and Greenwood probably have a better understanding with each other than any of the senior players.

Huge pressure on Fred to lead that team. Matic's old legs will prevent him from having much influence so Fred is the one senior outfield player who can run the show. If he does, this could be something special. If he can't hack it, we'll crumble.

Matic is shit for starting every week but hes still fine to play in the Europa league with his strength, positioning, experience and calmness in there.

You leapfrog me then. Got Rashy and Gomes wrong.

prateik · Sep 19, 2019

If Chong plays right, Rashford plays left and Greenwood down the middle..

Rashford down the middle and Chong/Greenwood on left/right is the obvious one..

Sorry, that’s what I meant. I would prefer your original prediction though

It would be hard to have a non existing squad starting

I prefer Chong at LW. So Greenwood at RW.
