    We are 5-0 up so can play the second team but after that I still want us to win this competition very much. No way are we letting lukaku win anything this season. With that said are we even favorites for the competition?

    Yes favorites by the odds last time I looked. Inter second with Bayern Leverkursen third. Sevilla strangly far down, but I fear them.

    Would love to see Mjebri given a run-out. Can't see any downside to doing it.

    Not eligible. United did not include him in the A list. Here are the players eligible to play:

    A LIST
    Eric Bailly, Diogo Dalot, David De Gea, Bruno Fernandes, Fred, Odion Ighalo, Daniel James, Matej Kovar, Victor Lindelof, Anthony Martial, Juan Mata, Nemanja Matic, Sergio Romero.

    CLUB TRAINED
    Jesse Lingard, Scott McTominay, Andreas Pereira, Paul Pogba, Marcus Rashford, Luke Shaw, Axel Tuanzebe.

    ASSOCIATION TRAINED
    Nathan Bishop, Lee Grant, Phil Jones, Harry Maguire, Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

    B LIST
    Ethan Laird, Max Taylor, Brandon Williams, Di'Shon Bernard, Teden Mengi, Angel Gomes, James Garner, Arnau Puigmal, Largie Ramazani, Dylan Levitt, Mason Greenwood, Tahith Chong, D'Mani Mellor.

    Strike-through players left us. Other red font players are injured.

    Mini-injury crisis in defence. Could see a few U-23s played there.

    PS: "Timothy Fosu-Mensah is a notable omission from the squad, according to UEFA's website, but he qualifies as a B-List player so could still feature in the knockout stages."

    TFM qualifies for the B-List because although 22, he's officially still an U-21 player according to the rules as he was born : 2-Jan-1998. he was only 20 on 1-Jan-2019. At the start of the year when the season began he was under 21 - which is the qualifying rule for U-21s.

    Really excited for the game to be honest. What an excellent opportunity to see some of the kids play!
     
    Will be strange - our first XI are dead on their feet but the rest of the squad is in desperate need of a run out.

    Is Dalot injured? If so I'd predict
    Romero
    Laird Bailly Megni TFM

    Fred McTominay

    Lingard Mata James

    Ighalo

    Sevilla on the tougher side of the draw might explain their odds? They finished the La Liga in 4th level on points with 3rd place Atletico Madrid whom let's not forget beat the "best team in the world" home and away in the CL.

    Not convinced if Inter will even reach the final as Leverkusen are more than capable of beating them.

    As for United I'll have one eye on Copenhagen v Istanbul Basaksehir this Wednesday. The Danes at home and the turkish league champions 1-0 up.

    The nerves of the last game compared to the chilled out nature of this one will be a fantastic feeling.

    Looking forward to (hopefully) seeing Mengi in particular.
     
    Hopefully Maguire, Bruno, Wan and Rashford get a rest for this. No need to play them at all.

    Kids with some experience should see tie through, even if we get beat on the night.

    Can we defend a 5 goal lead? This could be Ole's first real test.

    We'll probably play a mixed team with a few fringe players and a few starters. Couple of kids, maybe.

    No we shouldn’t be defending a 5 goal lead we should be trying to turn it into a 10 goal lead
     
    I would like to see Laird, Mengi and Garner start this.

    James----------Ighalo----------Mata
    -------------Fred-----------McT------------
    --------------------Garner-------------------
    Shaw-----Mengi----Bailly-----Laird
    -------------------Romero-------------------
     
    Like most, It would be good to see Mengi, Laird and Garner play this game. I hope Ole does field them, would be a good boost for them too.

    Shaw isn't going to be fit until the new season unfortunately.
     
    I hope we play a weakened team. No Bruno, Pogba, Rashford, Martial, Matic.

    If Dalot is not injured it would be amazing if he doesn't play. Even if we are to sell him, surely we'd prefer to showcase him a bit? Garner also would have trouble getting ahead of Fred and McT but can probably make a sub appearance if we're not losing and need to get the big guns in.

    From this list - I'd like to see this as the starting line up for the game. We can't take the piss and put out an U18 side - would be a massive disrespect on LASK.

    Romero

    Laird Lindelof Mengi Williams

    McTominay Garner
    Mata

    Chong Ighalo James

    ​
     
    Rest them all for future rounds and even next season.

    Romero
    Dalot Bailly Axel TFM
    McTominay Fred
    Lingard Mata James
    Ighalo

    Prediction: Man United 1-0 LASK (Ighalo)
     
    Most of, if not all, the bench warmers for the past few matches will probably start, with some of the youngsters on the bench. Whoever starts in this game will be really rusty, so I hope people will allow them 90 minutes to get the feel of playing professional football again, and not get on their backs for a 'poor performance'. Undoubtedly, some players will play better than others, but the aim is to get through to the quarters, and get some minutes into those mostly unused legs.

    I believe Axel is out until September.
     
    Looking ahead, what are Copenhagen /Istanbul B like? How strong are they, notable players?
     
    I dont get this play all the reserves. this is another chance to win a trophy. The team will have had 10 days rest at that point. Play 3-4 youth players, but to play a complete change of team could backfire.

    Fully agree with this. We won't have the first team out there and we pretty much know what to expect with the rest. No one should expect A-squad performance from them and to call for the B-squad and complain when they don't play above their level is just plain stupid. But it happens.

    I can only speak for Copenhagen (saw them live twice) absolutely dreadful and did not create a chance against Malmo, who didn't even win their league due to being poor for most of the season. Copenhagen didn't win their league either. Varela plays for Copenhagen and was anonymous in both matches.
     
    Looking at the result from the first match against LASK - Ighalo, James, Mata, and Pereira (as a sub) all scored, as did Greenwood (as a sub). Only Williams, Maguire, Shaw, and Fernandes of our starting XI started that night. We gave up no shots on target. I don't think we need to worry about defending a 5-goal lead. We should be trying to extend it.

    So you think clubs goes like: "Phil Jones! He played against LASK, we must have him!" I may be wrong, but I think that has zero meaning in him getting sold or not.

    Ok. You have your point, no need to be sarcastic, but at least clubs can see if he was actually fit, and not on the treatment table.

    We're up 5-0 is why people want the reserves to play in this match only. People want the first team to play 4-5 days after that which means they would have had 2 weeks rest. So reserves only for this match.
