Same. Thought we'd bulk up the midfield and bring on martial later to run riot

Mourinho always played 4-2-3-1 against Leicester.

Jose putting Martial in the shop window.

I can see that.

I think he's trying to manage their mentalities as much as anything. I'd imaging being benched for another game as Martial would be frustrating as feck. Seems like he's trying to juggle between them to keep them both happy.

Exactly what I was thinking.

King.of.Red · Aug 26, 2017

hmm, cant wait to see how Martial impact for us as starter. hopefully he can show Jose that he deserves to be starter. c'mon Martial!

Not sure Rashford deserved to be dropped.

He doesn't. But at the same time, Martial doesn't deserve to be benched either. Think it sends the right message if Martial performs in his cameos and gets in the team.

I'd have liked to see Herrera in somehow, but otherwise chuffed with that side.

Absolutely no room for Martial to feck about today though. He needs to hit the ground running and not stop for the rest of the game. Mourinho's watching closely and Rashford hardly deserved to be dropped.

Why do people keep going about that when Rashers has missed a hatful of chances?? Don't get it? Martial's been the better of the two.

Our best team imo. Should be good

Lindleof obviously isn't doing enough in training. He's getting the Mkhitaryan treatment here.

Against a team so good at attacking set-pieces, Smalling is the smart option here.

diarm · Aug 26, 2017

Think that's my first 11/11 since Jose joined!

Happy with that team. Martial deserves his start and it'll leave Rashford all the hungrier when he comes on.

Think I'd still prefer to see Herrera in for Mata but you can't argue with results and performances like our first two. Today will be a tougher prospect but I'm buzzing ahead of it! Feels so good to feel like this before United games again!

4-0 again

Our new normal score line. Yawn

Think 4-0 is too optimistic. We will concede I think so maybe a 2-1 win.

Yes really. Rashford needs to learn to finish as he missed 2 chances in the last 2 games that he should have buried. That's ok in games where we win 4-0, but there will be games that we are struggling in where those missed chances will cost us. Martial has shown what he can do in two 20min sub appearances so he deserves the start.

easier to bury chances as you come on fresh in last 10 mins as their defenders are Travellers.
If Martial runs around headlessly for 80mins and Rashford comes on and slots in a goal or two, I guess he'll be the 'better finisher'?

christinaa · Aug 26, 2017

If Martial sticks them in the net and Rashford doesn't and hasn't, then Martial deserves to start - simple.

Ban · Aug 26, 2017

Last game I've put Tony in and Rashford started. Today I've done a vice versa and Tony started. Damn!

Leicester are poor at defending set pieces as well. Been going on for since before they won the PL.

Adnandos · Aug 26, 2017

Just imagine Tony scores 2 for us today, and Mourinho drops him for the next game

Still don't see why we needed him, when we have:

First team

Bailly
Jones
Smalling
Rojo

Cover

Tuanzebe
Blind

True. We're just going to have to wait and see if Martial can do the business when the game is tight. Think Rashford's done well when it has been, if Martial is in his shell like last season then we've really got something to think about.

MadMike said:
Yep, Same

That's your mistake. Martial start was coming.

Same. Surely Herrera could have offered more than Mata in this game. Oh well, will have to be happy with 10/11.

fair enough - obviously I hope Martial smashes it too.
Excellent problem to have.

Jazz · Aug 26, 2017

Thought Vardy was injured?

Camy89 · Aug 26, 2017

Good lineup. Little bit concerned regarding Herrera though, he's a great player, don't want him getting pissed off on the bench. Personally would rather have Herrera over Mata

No, Vardy played midweek apparently.

One more reason to Smalling top Lindelöf, since he started the Europa League final just because of that.

Put Herrera in as I thought he might like to get him up to speed and thought Jose might be a bit awkward and leave Marcus in as everyone wanted Martial.

Paxi · Aug 26, 2017

I'm not sure if it's the alcohol talk or what but I expect us to obliterate them. I'm confident we will totally dominate this game and win comfortably.

I really hope Mourinho is not being overconfident with Herrera, knowing he refused Barcelona and all… Anyhow, I see him starting at Stoke, next match.

Didn't know that... not looking forward to playing them. Would take a jammy 1 nil win if possible.

It's a process and part of my new philosophy.

LoneStar · Aug 26, 2017

Deserved start for Martial, but sad to see Rashford benched. Anyway, I think we'll comfortably win today.Lukaku and Pogba to score again. Maybe Mikhi too.
