    Oooh Gomes and Chong on the bench, as well as Fred.

    Glad Win-Bissaka is back. As expected, Pereira on the right. It's not that bad a team.

    I reckon it's going to be:

    DDG
    AWB Lindelof Maguire Young
    McTominay Matic
    Mata Pereira James
    Rashford​

    Ole like Pereira at #10 for his pressing ability.

    Called it.

    Pereira will be at #10 to play the pressing role that Lingard usually has.

    Mata was always going to be in the side to make up for the lack of Pogba. Greenwood will probably come off the bench.
     
    Mata, matic and Pereira ffs :lol: This one is going on Ole when it inevitably goes bad. Can't start a game against Leicester with that much trash in the middle.

    Hopefully 2nd half we see Fred for Matic, Gones for Mata and Greenwood for Pereira.
     
    The only threat on goal in our midfield attack is James.

    At this point I'm hoping Ole appears on the bench in tracksuit and boots.
     
    There's not going to be an easier XI to predict all season. Even the bench is fairly straightforward.

    Greenwood will definitely come on, probably Fred too, so between Chong and Gomes for the third.

    Would have preferred Greenwood to Andreas.

    But when you consider in 99 Scholes or Butt would start on the bench in CM and Ole, Sherrigan, Cole and York would fight for two spots up front, it amazes me we did not do more business in the transfer window... :(.

    It's so weird to think that's a Manchester United starting lineup for a PL game.

    We were lining up with 4 fullbacks in the starting XI and fullbacks in midfield under Fergie. It happens when teams have a bout of injuries.
     
    Gomes and Greenwood to come on in the second half, hopefully.
     
    What's the point in talking up the kids all the time and then not giving them any chances. Ole talks a lot of shite.
     
    Feck off Ole. Fecking coward of a manager who is all talk about his youth policy. He will play a couple in the EL and use that as evidence of him giving a chance. No way Andreas should be playing.

    At least when Van Gaal went with the narrative of ‘selling dead weight to give the kids a chance’, he actually did it properly.
     
    One question, is there any manager can feel okay with such lineup and bench? How many years should we wait till we have such strong squad? With a well understanding manager!

    Do we really have a choice ? Only argument is Fred for Andreas.
     
    Weak team but that was to be expected. I would have personally started Greenwood & Gomes, perhaps even Fred.
     
    Samuel is p'd off again.

    Away day vibes
    Solskjaer is effectively treating this like an away game, picking Matic over Fred (not a surprise) and Pereira over Greenwood (a slight surprise). Players who have performed badly have been rewarded with starts. Even with the lack of established or quality options, Solskjaer has made a big play about giving youngsters chances but has bottled it a bit today.

    Anyone over Pereira.

    Why keep rewarding player who play like crap in the last game? That's the most annoying thing so far with Ole.
