Manchester United 4:1 Fenerbahce

Bobcat · Oct 20, 2016

what a mess said:
Ramos
Darmian Jones Rojo Shaw
Carrick Schneiderlin Fellaini
Mkhitaryan Rooney Martial

God help us but we must rest the main men and give the others game time the Chelsea game has to be the priority or we risk falling further behind in the prem .
Would be good to see Miki start and Martial could do with a confidence bost

Agree with this. I expect a lot of changes from the Liverpool match and seeing as we have another tough game at Sunday, we need to rest our main players.

That's a bit harsh for a young player who's barely had a chance to prove himself.

He showed his level. If he stopped Intagramming got his head down and worked hard, he may get another chance. But he clearly isn't impressing. I was at the Wigan match in pre-season (I know its only pre-season) but his ability, application and dedication was pathetic.

kps88 · Oct 20, 2016

Is Van Persie likely to start?

No reason to curse young player that plays for the team you call yourself a fan of.

As a match going season ticket holder I reserve the right to call out anybody who I don't believe to be trying. His talent / ability / potential is up for debate but his application of it is not.

Its not like he's a young YTS desperate to make it. First chance he gets the self absorbed little pudding is out of the country posting pictures of him and his Mrs. #M7.

Id think more of him turning out for the U23's and forcing Jose's hand with good performances for them and in training.

Not sure. Came from the bench in both EL matches so far, just as he did in a league match before the int. break, scoring a goal. Played the full 90 last Sunday. Perhaps @Fener1907 could give more insight?

Escobar · Oct 20, 2016

I'd like to see Schneiderlin and that Martial and Miki get minutes after their injuries

sugar_kane · Oct 20, 2016

Hopefully Zlatan, Pogba, Valencia and Bailly get rested as they've played almost every minute so far.

Bailly and Valencia, unlike the other two, hasn't shown any signs of tiring but it would be well shite if they got injured.

Want to see starts from Shaw, Micky, Schneiderlin and Carrick. Wouldn't mind seeing Darmian either assuming he's not out.

The last Europa game was fecking awful so fingers crossed we do better tonight.

This is what I'd like to see which mirrors some of your thoughts..

DDG
Darmian Smalling Blind Shaw
Herrera Carrick Schneiderlin
Mkhitaryan Rooney Martial

EDIT: Rashford removed due to not being in squad

lysglimt · Oct 20, 2016

Romero - Shaw, Blind, Smalling, TFM - Carrick, Schneiderling - Memphis, Mata, Mkhitaryan - Martial

That's the team for me....we have to rest the majority of our players who started against Liverpool.

Rashford had cramp on Monday after putting in a proper shift. He wont even be in the squad

Can't win here. Kick off at 6pm and I miss the match but can watch The Apprentice. Kick off at 8pm and I can watch the match but will miss The Apprentice.

KirkDuyt · Oct 20, 2016

Fener is the only club that beat Feyenoord this year. Hell they're the only club to take anything from us.

Be afraid!!

Then put Martial on the left and Rooney in centre, original post edited.

Havak · Oct 20, 2016

Romero
Darmian Bailly Smalling Shaw
Carrick Schneiderlin
Lingard Mata Martial
Rooney

This is my guess - perhaps TFM or Jones to play CB. Memphis and Mkhitaryan will probably come off the bench.

rocks13 · Oct 20, 2016

We really need to focus on this game and competition now since it looks unlikely we'll make the top 4. All our main attacking players should play tonight since we're going to park the bus at Chelsea on Sunday anyway so the likes of Young, Fellaini, Lingard, Rooney etc can play there.

Relax..we are getting top four

Absurdly premature. We're five points off top spot, not even a quarter of the way into the season.

Absolute bollox. I expect us to now go 10-12 unbeaten. If anybody finishes above us, they'll win it

sunama · Oct 20, 2016

I just saw this interview with Shaw:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=Tx6sg8RCeX0

He really does talk a lot about Ibra. It would appear that Ibra is the leader in the changing room.
Previously, it seemed that the one thing which Rooney could do is be the voice in the dressing room, but this seems to no longer be the case. I guess Rooney is being pushed out.

Memphis has had plenty of chances.

We even moved our best player last season to right wing to accomodate him into the team and that failed miserably.

Turnip · Oct 20, 2016

I'm not normally one for sending out a complete 2nd team into Europe games (because we will lose, and it's a tad embarrassing), but the Chelsea match is more important. That said, we need to get Ibra's shooting boots back from wherever he lost them, because he's been useless recently and Jose seems reluctant to play anyone else up front. So maybe this could be an audition role for another striker (please, Martial) or to get Ibra's form back.

GlasgowRedz · Oct 20, 2016

I think we should be making a few changes in order to be as fresh as possible for Chelsea on Sunday and we should have enough depth in the squad to make changes and still win tonight.

I'd go;

DDG

Fosu-Mensah Rojo Smalling Shaw

Carrick

Schneiderlin Mata

Depay Rooney Mkhitaryan

I'm not sure Mourinho wants to make that many changes though.

Marcelinho87 · Oct 20, 2016

I don't expect too many changes despite wanting them.

I think Pogba and Zlatan will start and I think Micky T and Martial will start.

I expect Mata to come back in to the side also.

Red_Beans · Oct 20, 2016

Its a balancing act for Mourinho, we need to play a strong enough team to get a result tonight, while still leaving enough players fresh enough to perform on Sunday. I don't care about the football as long as we get two wins

Sassy Colin · Oct 20, 2016

Manchester United’s squad to face Fenerbahce has checked into the Lowry Hotel as part of their standard home match day ritual.

Notable players who were not spotted with the squad are Ander Herrera, Ashley Young and Antonio Valencia. All three played the full 90 minutes against Liverpool so there is every chance Jose Mourinho has taken this opportunity to rest them.

Other than that, Morgan Schneiderlin wasn’t spotted. He was missing against Liverpool due to suffering an injury in training and there is no confirmation as to whether he’s fit enough to return just yet.

Here are the confirmed squad members as reported by the MEN: De Gea, Romero, Johnstone, Fosu-Mensah, Darmian, Smalling, Bailly, Rojo, Shaw, Fellaini, Carrick, Mata, Lingard, Memphis, Ibrahimovic, Rooney, Rashford, Martial

As you can see, Henrikh Mkhitaryan is also not on the MEN’s list but we’re all expecting to see him in the squad having been passed as fully fit for Mourinho. Apparently Pogba and Mkhitaryan still live at the hotel, so that could explain that.

United will make a few changes tonight having played Liverpool only three days ago and with Chelsea coming up on Sunday but regardless of what team Mourinho puts out it should be strong enough to overcome Fenerbahce.

I’d personally like to see plenty of players rested ahead of Stamford Bridge, that’s the most important game, and I’d hate to see anybody pick up an injury which could rule themselves out of the match this weekend.

Smores · Oct 20, 2016

Dont think we should be playing Fellaini. I argued he should play against Liverpool because we wouldnt have possession, this game it won't be needed.

Hopefully see Morgan, Memphis and Darmian given a chance. We need to win but these guys neee their chance.

villain · Oct 20, 2016

Lingard on the left
Mata in the middle
Mkhi on the right.

I think it will be either Memphis or Mkhi, not both.

Carrick and Fellaini in midfield, Rashford up front.

Hmm not sure why De Gea is there unless it is just in case Romero picks up an injury in training or something.

Guess team will be:

Romero
Darmian Bailly Smalling Shaw
Carrick Fellaini
Lingard Rooney Martial
Rashford

Bench: Johnstone, Fosu-Mensah, Rojo, Mata, Memphis, Ibrahimovic, Mkhitaryan

Though that said, De Gea did play the first game so he might be playing tonight as its a tough one.

DomesticTadpole · Oct 20, 2016

He’s played plenty of games this season.

Daley Blind also set to be rested tonight. #mufc

2:21 PM - 20 Oct 2016

podurban2 · Oct 20, 2016

I went with;

Romero
TFM-Smalling-Rojo-Shaw
Carrick-Schneiderlin
Micky-Mata-Lingard
Martial

But it's probably not correct at all.

Ban · Oct 20, 2016

Morgan injured?

I think Schneiderlin's injured isn't he?

I don't see how Martial has recovered from a 'knee injury' so suddenly, but Jose is insisting he's going to play tonight, so here goes:

De Gea
Fosu-Mensah Smalling Bailly Shaw
Carrick
Mata Pogba
Lingard Rooney Martial

Pogba could possibly be rested, though.

I think it'll be good to keep that consistency of the De Gea/Smalling/Bailly defensive core, and rotate the rest. Not expecting a good performance tonight, really.

Ban · Oct 20, 2016

I expect a horrible game and hopefully 3 points.

pocco · Oct 20, 2016

Kind of hoping Pogba starts tonight. Want to see him have a really good game and hopefully find some form. Same for Mkhitaryan and Martial.

Kag · Oct 20, 2016

I wish we could score three or four genuinely good goals that aren't from corners or opponent howlers.

Our attack, no matter how people like to dress it up, plays like it's stuck in the mud.
