    Very strong bench, too bad we aren't allowed unlimited substitutions. Maybe we can have three or four fake concussions

    They played two days ago and play again in two days. What the hell do you expect?
     
    Well this is exciting isn't it! Literally a team made up of everyone who won't start vs Liverpool (and Bailly)! Whatever happens we're gonna learn some things this game. And as long as we beat liverpool it's all good
     
    I'm looking forward to being able to watch this game without really caring about the result. Also I'm really looking forward to seeing how that defence does!
     
    This should be interesting. I've never heard of Elanga.

    This rotation makes total sense and the PL and Klopp can't really complain given the schedule.

    1-3
     
    Don’t want to lose as I want to get 80 points this season. A draw today and a win against Liverpool wraps up second and leaves Liverpool 7 off 4th with only 3 games left. Leicester beating Spurs would be sweet too.
     
    Also, are people surprised by the number of changes here? Obviously, we have to rotate, but I didn't foresee us going to this extreme. That's not a dig at Ole, because the scheduling is ridiculous, but still...
     
    Totally stoked with that team. Absolute win-win. If we lose, we basically secure Leicester in the Champions League. I fancy Chelsea to take the 4th (but probably 3rd place) so that means no Liverpool in the Champs. Which is huge. Not just for humiliation, it's about transfers. Have a much better chance of getting players to sign if we can guarantee Champions League football and they can't. Think Sancho for example. It's vital that they don't sneak into 4th. That's why I want Leicester there cos one of Pool or Chelsea will miss out. In saying that, come on United. Let's beat Leicester AND the scousers!

    Small time and petty to play this line-up when we've only just played 48 hours ago?

    Only thing I’m surprised at is only 10 changes. Was expecting 11
     
    Only real concern is the lack of energy and legs in midfield, otherwise looking forward to seeing Amad and Elanga.
     
    Ole you bastarrrrrd, starving kids, now starving Liverpool of a bit of cash...horrible man our Ole :drool:
    That team is specifically picked to feck up our chances of getting 4th if possible. Leicester in it next season won't be a threat if it came to a head to head. Added benefit of starving Liverpool of a bit of cash

    Without a shadow of a doubt. I knew ole was petty but this is next level. Absolutely thrown the league

    They should be docked points for fielding a team like that!

    Woah, woah, woah. Juan Mata still plays for them??

    Hopefully he's not slow to bring on the likes of Fernandes, Pogba and Cavani.

    Hopefully by minute 2.

    If they were playing us tonight he'd have rested players on Sunday

    Wow. I thought we'd rotate heavily but not quite that much.

    I'm a little apprehensive in giving the kids their debut starts (Amad hasn't started yet has he?) in such a weakened team. Especially against a good team who will be desperate to win. Fingers crossed it goes well.
     
    I do worry we could get a battering here. I don't see how this XI will obviously function. Both full backs aren't great defensively in a completely unfamiliar back four. Donny wants to play a possession game, but surely the approach will be to counter. Who in that front four can play the linking role to receive the ball, hold it up and get counters away?

    How is it small-time and petty? Do you honestly think this has anything to do with other teams?
     
    Any questions about “integrity” shouldn’t be aimed at the lineup but at the schedule we were given. Moyes made a good point about that recently. And Ole has a duty to protect his players from injury.
     
    This is a quality line up. Going to get absolutely rinsed I reckon, but look at those names getting proper minutes!

    Unlike most do actually want us to win the game, although won't be screaming at inanimate fecking objects should we lose. Which we will.

    No. You can't play games with two-day intervals, just not physically possible.
     
    Actually quite excited to watch this. Feel a bit like the last game of the 2017-18 season against Palace where lads like Josh Harrop got a go. Everyone out there tonight should just play without fear. Fourth is secured, there's nothing for us riding from this game. Everyone will think Leicester have a gimmie. They should go out there, play with freedom and have fun.
