    Cavani out tomorrow and has pulled out of international duty according to Uruguayan journalists on Twitter. So frustratingly injury prone - it’s the injury he picked up against Spurs that looked potentially like cramp.
     
    I suspect we will see

    De Gea
    A.w.b lindelof Bailly Maguire Shaw
    Mctom
    Bruno V.D.B
    Ronaldo Rashford

    Possibly see Fred instead of V.D.B.

    Erm 2-0 United I hope.

    We have a good record at the Etihad, certainly. But at Old Trafford we've had one win, one draw, and three defeats against City during Ole's tenure. This includes League Cup games, of course, but both teams fielded pretty much their strongest line-ups in those so they should count.

    My point is we have plenty of reasons to worry. Also, our form at Old Trafford is shocking in general, Ole has a 50% win rate at home which is dreadful.

    I wasn’t aware of your at home stats as such, I was more going off my experience of Derby’s with Ole at the wheel and that experience is that the more the media big us up for a win the more the chances that Ole will suss Pep, yet again, and take the 3 points.

    I recon that if you set out to play possession football against us then the odds are in our favour, but if you employ a low block and look to hit us on the counter then that’ll shift the odds your way because we‘ve started to really struggle against low blocks played by much lesser teams.

    I guess we’ll know soon enough eh?
     
    CR7 Cavani
    Rashford Fernandes Sancho
    Telles Bailly Maguire Jones AWB
    DDG

    This team would win. 100%.

    Lingard and Ronaldo would complement each other better, I think, but Rashford will start regardless.

    If city see our line up with Jones, Bailey and Telles in a back 5 we might just win due to them having laughing cramps.

    It would be such utter chaos that City wouldn't know what to do. Bailly would perform his regular "score an OG from fecking nothing" act, but Phil Jones and Maguire both have heads which magnetically attract footballs.

    What happens when two magnetic poles are pushed together ? They repel. The ball will be repelled away from our goal at all times. It's simple science. If Ole doesn't realise this he should be sacked. We could have the best defence in the league.

    There are 30 points available in the league up to the end of the calendar year. I think we should be able to get 24 of them. Three points on Saturday would be an amazing start.

    24 points out of the 30 left ,would be a tough ask and I think the only way Ole can keep hold of his job.
    But in all honesty I dont think Ole has it in him to motivate the team to get that sort of run, I hope he proves me wrong, I will be the first to say I was wrong, but hand on heart I think we will drop points against City.

    Is that a joke?

    You have Rashford and Sancho in Midfield as AWB and Telles will press up for width forcing Rashford and Sancho centrally as Fernandes can't be the sole striker...

    Don't forget City barely have a striker and we will play Ronaldo, we need all our defenders and midfielders supporting his clinical ability and I'm not sure why Telles > Shaw?


    Cavani Ronnie
    Bruno
    Telles Matic Fred AWB
    Shaw Bailly Maguire
    ​

    If Cavani is out then switch with Rashford
     
    I prefer the Manchester Derby any day over the North East Derby. Always a great game. I hope Cavani and Ronaldo start as they'll be too much for City. I wish Solskjaer had the balls to drop Maguire but he won't so a clean sheet is out of the question unless Bailly starts.

    United to win 2-0 or 2-1.

    Unless it's a trashing we get i don't see how the club sacks him. There's no solid candidate we can get and if we wanted a caretaker then he would have been gone since the Liverpool game

    Never said he would be sacked tomorrow. But he's never going to make it to next season.

    Only way is if they’ve already made their mind up and are taking their time looking. Maybe they don’t trust themselves to get a caretaker again in case he goes on a good run and they give him a job as they’re fully aware they’re a bunch of reactionary PR men.

    Really have no idea what kind of team Ole will put out but think Donny might feature.

    DeGea

    Wan Bissaka Bailly Maguire Shaw

    Donny McTominay Fred

    Bruno

    Ronaldo Cavani​
    Click to expand...

    He won't play Donny.

    You know exactly what team he will pick.
    Matic will play instead of Pogba.

    Rashford instead of Donny.

    Shouldn’t play that team though City will open us up like a tin of beans..probably will though.
     
    Ronaldo - Greenwood
    Bruno
    Telles - Fred - McTominay - AWB
    Shaw - Maguire - Bailly
    DDG​
     
    Injuries to Varane, Lindelof and Cavani may force Ole to revert to his standard 4231.

    DDG

    AWB Bailly Maguire Shaw

    Mctom Fred

    Greenwood Bruno Rashford

    Ronaldo
    ​
    No idea how that will play out, but I'm hopeful.

    Don't think I can handle a second battering by a bitter rival in as many weeks

    Pretty much the same lineup I’m expecting us to field. Still gutted about Varane’s injury and Cavani possibly missing too is a worry.
     
    According to the Manchester Evening news. Confirmed United squad members

    David de Gea, Dean Henderson, Tom Heaton, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Diogo Dalot, Harry Maguire, Eric Bailly, Luke Shaw, Alex Telles, Scott McTominay, Nemanja Matic, Fred, Donny van de Beek, Bruno Fernandes, Juan Mata, Jesse Lingard, Jadon Sancho, Cristiano Ronaldo, Anthony Martial, Mason Greenwood

    Note: Marcus Rashford was not spotted arriving with the team by photographers but it is possible he may have arrived separately

    No Cavani (was already rumoured to be out injured) and Lindelof though Ole today hinted he might play yet.
     
    Normally when this place is at its most negative we snag a win, so I'm thinking we're gonna batter them with a Ronaldo hat trick.

    Should be fine with Rashford as we always take 21 players - 11 + 9 subs and a 3rd keeper, and only 20 players listed.
     
    The Cavani & Ronaldo magic partnership lasted...one game then.
     
    Had Cavani in the 11. Its Rashford now with Ronnie. Early ko so when we're all fecked off or not , it's early enough to go out to get fecking hammerd .
     
    If Baz Maguire has another mare at what point does he get dropped? Doesn’t help when Varane can’t stay fit 5 minutes.
