Surely Mata is playing in the number 10 with Sanchez left?

So who should play? Shaw?Got a feeling that we’re gonna get swamped. Our midfield is terrible. They’ll win by 2 or 3.
He’s generally fine against people cutting inside because he’s right footed. When wingers stay wide, he has problems because he does not appear to have the same comfort tackling with left foot.Very sad to see the bookies having Liverpool as clear favorites at Old Trafford, reminds me of the dark times under Moyes. Just goes to show our squad is big, but not full of quality.
How is that clear?Yeah, not confident about this game at all.
1-3 loss is my prediction.I can totally see why Young is playing, because he's right footed, it's a logical tactic.
Why isn't Luke Shaw getting a game?I really have no clue,I expected Jose to start Bailly and Shaw against Palace to bring them unto speed for this game.But Bailly comes in from the cold and Young keeps getting picked ahead of Shaw...Midfield injuries fecked us over. Fellaini's just got back from injury so not wise to start him. Pogba/Herrera both injured. What the feck could've done instead?Lads, it's Liverpool.Throwing Shaw into this game with his lack of game time and lets be honest average performance in the last match would be madness.
His reaction said it all for me.
Yes Shaw just isn't viable as an option in a game like this. Will surely be flogged this summer.Young
The manager has no excuses picking him again. Shaw most certainly will not do a worst job than him.
I'm getting that feeling too. Clearly doesn't trust him in the big games. I think that Newcastle defeat was the last straw.
Could just be a load of bollocks mind, just a feeling I'm getting.
Also don't think we'll be seeing Martial too regularly until he signs a new contract.
Oh alright that clears it up then.
I'm expecting that too.Young The manager has no excuses picking him again. Shaw most certainly will not do a worst job than him.
The reason Shaw doesn't start ahead of Young is boobs.
You do realise they have only won 2 out of the last 13 league meetings between us. How you came to that conclusion is baffling.Rashford added much needed width last game, he was crucial for us.
I take it Alexis will play as CAM, Rashford left, Mata right.
Good to see Bailly back.Time for Sancho to shine today
feck this post. Martial is injured and therefore missed the game. Pogba is injured too.
What the feck is wrong with the people here?Their midfield is Can Milner and Oxlade Chamberlain? I'm not too concerned about thatThe only miss is Pogba - and lets face it he has been terrible lately so he probably isnt that much of a miss.
MArtial is a lazy player and we need 11 players busting their guts to help out at the back today. MArtial and Pogba are not that fond of tracking players back.
we will be okSalah red card in the first 10 seconds will do
The last time I felt so underwhelmed before a game was when we played Chelsea at home last season,I thought we would get spanked...and we ended up winning 2-0....We need a big big performance from every single player today...So much negativity on here, you lot are a joke. No matter what team he puts out and considering the injuries and such this is the best we have lets get behind them ! Come on United !!!Not looking forward to this, our midfield will get run over so badly...
Hoping for the best, about time Alexis does something useful
I thought Shaw was much better than Young even if his performance wasn't great. That's how bad Young has been in my eyes. Salah & co gonna have fun today.
Have you seen the state of him?This is giving me a similar feeling to when we beat Arsenal 3 - 2 under Van Gaal.
We had such a weak team due to injuries and Arsenal were 10 points ahead of us so came into the game at Old Trafford as favorites for the first time in years. We had Varela starting at full back and I believe Carrick in a back 5. A certain unknown Rashford got us 2 and we held out for a 3 - 2 result.
I know, it was Arsenal and not the likes of Salah but it's a similar feeling. Not many people backed us to get a result that day and we did.
Anyway, 3 - 0 Liverpool.Come on now let's win this on! Not too happy with the lineup, but hopefully Rashford and Mctominay can step up.Not much of a Jose fan but struggling to see what else could've done different instead of perhaps starting Shaw instead of Young.
His boobs may be bigger than mine, but he's still better than Young.
We need to do what we did against Chelsea at OT last season...We sat back deep and tried to hit them on the break,but we played with intent and purpose on that day.We closed the spaces down with intensity,kept the ball in midfield and really stretched their defence...We need to replicate that performance today...- Status
