We have to be challenging for the league this season. This is as good a team as any. We’ve Rashford and Cavani not even in the squad.

Kaos · Sep 11, 2021

Ole with the elite trolling by keeping Fred AND DVB out :lol:

That attacking lineup though

Flying high · Sep 11, 2021

I'd happily swap VDB in for Matic..... when we're 6-0 up.

I really don't get the clamour for this guy.

laughtersassassin · Sep 11, 2021

Bug game for Matic. If he is crap again today it's hard to see him being trusted to start in the Prem again.

Him and Fred where awful versus Southampton

Really?

Nikelesh Reddy · Sep 11, 2021

Our team looks frightening now!And Marcus and Cavani aren’t even in the squad yet!Cant wait for the game to start...

Hugh Jass · Sep 11, 2021

That is a serious team on paper.

Imagine Matic was in his prime.

Would have strolled the league.

Jazz · Sep 11, 2021

Let's hope we're solid at the back because Pogba/Matic midfield I don't know....

Sancho left, Ronaldo middle, Greenwood right I’d say.

Yeah probably and in any case they'll change positions.

ha_rooney · Sep 11, 2021

Hopefully Matic isn’t as bad as he was in the Southampton game, otherwise that’s the best team we can put out.

I’m looking forward to seeing Sancho, hopefully he’s more direct/confident than the last game.

Paolo Di Canio · Sep 11, 2021

Heaton on the bench

Not with Matic in it, he wouldn't get in the squad for any of our rivals let alone start.

red4ever 79 · Sep 11, 2021

They just changed the televised match from city v Leicester to Man Utd. COME ON GET IT THERE happy days

Pexbo · Sep 11, 2021

De Gea

_____________ Matic
AWB - Varane - Maguire - Shaw

Bruno - Pogba

Greenwood- Ronaldo - Sancho

prateik · Sep 11, 2021

The only concern is losing the midfield battle and never really having any control.. Matic doing it all alone is not going to happen..

SirAnderson · Sep 11, 2021

Really worried not to see Lingard starting, he is on of our most in form players currently.
;0)

pratyush_utd · Sep 11, 2021

With Fred on the bench don't think VDB is going to get game time :lol:

We should really sell Donny and buy a DM in January.

Would be best for all parties

God I hope so. Promote Mejbri while we're at it.

That's always going to be the case this season for every game.

He needs a run of games cause he can be a good cover in midfield. If Ole doesn't rate him he should let him go though.

Took me about 10 seconds to find Varane's name

They've got to stop with this doing it in squad number order

Prefer this?

I think it'll be a three man midfield but not got an option on the graphic for that... yet.

Will be emotional to see him walk onto the pitch

/this is my concern. If we'd only invested in a proper CM (sigh).

always_hoping · Sep 11, 2021

Predicted that Starting XI. Strong looking on paper but how will it perform on grass?

Bruce will come with a low block and look to hit on the counter

Andycoleno9 · Sep 11, 2021

Cavani out?

pauldyson1uk · Sep 11, 2021

why is the starting 11 saying Cavani and not Ronaldo ?

I don't see it either.

Yes but still a top team there.

Will Singh · Sep 11, 2021

What’s a man goto do to get a game. I think we sell Donny in January and buy a DM. If Ole isn’t going to pick him what’s the point?

Interesting move to bring back the sweeper role for Matic

Is that our new Ukrainian player?

JG3001 · Sep 11, 2021

I expect to win just based on the players we have and the opposition we’re facing, but that is basically a 5-0-5. Still think that lack of a solid midfield will come back to haunt us this season.

Judas · Sep 11, 2021

Ronaldo in the lineup still feels truly bizarre :lol:

That's obviously much better, just need the CAF to take control of the clubs socials as well

That team is beautiful. Only flaw is Matic.

Truly 1 DM short of a practically perfect 11.

Wonder where Cavani is?

If only Matic was younger.

It's still a bloody good team though. We haven't had this much talent in our squad since Ronaldo left.

It is a shame we didn't strengthen midfield, but we can't have everything.

seriously, what did you expect?

Garethw said:
Not a surprise really. Ole just doesn’t rate him. Should have let the poor lad leave .

BeforeKeanetherewasRobson said:
When we're down to ten fit players, he'll get his chance. He just needs to keep working hard in training and wait for his opportunity

I genuinely thought after all his interviews this week he might get a start!

I was really hoping to see Cavani - he'd definitely score with the way Newcastle "defend"
