    I see where you're coming from, but i think it was widely reported that Wilcox is the one entrusted with setting up the long term vision/playing style etc.

    They (ineos) will have broadly decided what tactical setup they think will work and then his job is profile each role, then you can start coaching the youth players into specific positions and allow for much more accurate use of data in scouting. He’s not going to speak to a manager and tell him to do change formation, no head coach would sign up for that. Think of Barca - they have a broad philosophy but the managers have a lot of flexibility with tactics, they just need to win games.
     
    I like the midfield and attack. If you’re going to play Zirkzee then do it with Rashford and Garnacho to stretch the defence.

    Leaving out the in form Eriksen is a risk but Casemiro has looked creative this season and at least has Ugarte’s legs next to him.

    Not sure how that back four line up or even how I would prefer them to line up but hopefully should be strong enough.

    I assume RVN is keeping a promise of some kind to Bayindir which is generous considering RVN will likely only have 1 or 2 games as United manager in his life.

    Eriksen is not on the bench. Is he injured or getting a rest

    I see no benefit. Let the new manager get his tactics across personally, and let the interim interim.

    The benefit would be an amount of time to get used to playing with wingbacks again.
     
    Manager after manager and Rashford is still being picked.
     
    Wonder if Ruud will give H.Amass or Fletcher their debuts tonight
     
    Why exactly are we playing our best XI against Leicester’s reserves when we have Chelsea in 3 days? What’s the point
