Mount was signed to be on the bench for these big games

His off ball workrate is so good EtH wants him as far from it as possible.

Ralph1386 · Oct 29, 2023

Is Varane injured?

Well I don’t understand that line up one bit then. He’s just said it’s tactical to leave Varane and Reg out. Then Bruno is on the right where he’s notoriously shite.

City that confident they‘ve gone with a front 5

Tbf Bruno is shite in his regular position in big games.

DWelbz19 · Oct 29, 2023

Who’ll have more touches today — Haaland or McTominay?

Dazzmondo · Oct 29, 2023

Well that £65m for Mount was clearly money well spent. I don't think anything could be a clearer example of why ETH should not have control of transfers moving forward

Also why the feck is Rashford starting again over Antony? At least he'd work hard and carry the ball forward a bit.

£140m of ETH first choice signings sat on the bench in the biggest game of the season so far. Nice going Erik.

Good point...

Low block, 2 banks of 4 and close spaces and hope not to be hammered.

Actually wouldn't be the worst idea in my eyes. And would be an explanation for the above point.

You can honestly remove the word the word big there too.

Ederson

United Hobbit · Oct 29, 2023

I'm not a big fan of Antony but at least he'd track back and press them

mu4c_20le · Oct 29, 2023

Who needs wingers heh

dannyrhinos89 · Oct 29, 2023

Wow what an absolutely diabolical team. :lol:

Luckily I'm already prepared for a mauling so I'm past caring before a ball is kicked.

littlepeasoup · Oct 29, 2023

Manchester United; the reputation destroyer.

Doesn’t matter if you’re a highly rated talent, established veteran, up and coming manager or tactical wizz, we will break you.

Can see another couple of reputations getting flushed down the Old Trafford loos today, if they’re not already backed up that is.

hobbers · Oct 29, 2023

Onana

Dalot - CB we tried to sell - CB we charitably let train with us - 3rd choice CB

Midfielder we tried to sell - Last minute desperate loan signing - Free signing

Horribly out of form - Hojlund - Horribly out of form

mitchmouse · Oct 29, 2023

I can't see any way that this can possibly end well... unless they have three players sent off

50m was bad enough without you hyping it up

I almost did but he does show up from time to time.

That line up :lol:

It's beyond all belief that the Evans who was so dreadful and responsible for that 6-1 battering with his red card is starting this game about 15 years on!

It will either be a shock win for us and we will all laugh or it will be a drubbing and we will need to laugh about it (otherwise we will cry).

I just don't see how we can win regardless of what happens. Maybe if City get 5 red cards or something :lol:

Tactics apparently. He is on the bench.

Walters_19_MuFc · Oct 29, 2023

Castia said:
Apparently he’s said Lindelof and Evan’s is tactical I can only think of a back 3 with Dalot and Amrabat full backs

Feck knows

Guess we'll soon find out.

Bench ao probably good for some game time

I am the same. All it is doing is make me hate our owners even more if that is possible. Sad times.

No idea.

2 man midfield · Oct 29, 2023

I can’t even make out who’s playing where with that lineup, and not just because of how the club tweets them out.

———————Onana
Lindelof-Maguire-Evans-Dalot
————-Scott—Amrabat———
Bruno———-Eriksen—-Rashford
———————Hojlund——————

is my best guess, but who knows? We’re seriously depleted in midfield and defence.

Giggsy13 · Oct 29, 2023

Walters_19_MuFc said:
What would you have gone with?

Mount and Hannibal in for Eriksen and McT.

Lights Out · Oct 29, 2023

All about setting ourselves milestones today.

Not conceding in the first 15 seconds should be the first.

lex talionis · Oct 29, 2023

Hoping for a standout performance by Onana, who will be a busy boy.

It's not tactics at all, is it? Varane has clearly bought himself a copy of Football Manager and found out how much he could make at Al Hilal. He'll be off in January.

kopviolator · Oct 29, 2023

Gamedays are no fun anymore

Tom Van Persie · Oct 29, 2023

Come on United!

United Hobbit · Oct 29, 2023

If we're going to lose, it'll anger me more if I see more strolling/jogging/pointing/ rolling around than I do pressing/tracking back/trying

At least put some fecking effort in and show some fight

Maguire + Evans slowness vs City? What kind of tactics are these?

r0663664 · Oct 29, 2023

McTominay starting. Wow, he has earn ETH respect. I can't see how McTominay is able to track runners.
