    It’s a weird one because the players rested today should start midweek, but then he will prefer to have Ugarte, Mount, Hojlund, Amad for City.. Does Mazraoui ever get a rest, or De Ligt?
     
    He might want to go with a strong team today and then rest them for Viktoria Plzen ready to start against City.
     
    Really need a win here going in the next PL game against City and I'm confident we'll get it. Hopefully we see Diallo from the start.

    Maybe they'll start and get subbed early, like halftime or after 55 minutes.

    Alternatively they might come in at half time or after 55.
     
    Liverpool Derby has been called off I think there is a fair chance ours will also, kick off time is during the high of the wind.
    Have to weight up safety for fans and teams getting to the ground

    Why would you want that to happen? He's nowhere near ready.

    Is it based on anything in particular? He looks big and pacey, and could be a good use as a rotational CB in the future - so why not to try him now? Of course off the bench when we lead by several goals
     
    would give the Utd players quite some training time together if they cancel this as the next game is on thursday!

    Assuming Amorim continues his rotation (also noting the fact that whoever that doesn't start this game would likely be starting against City), I think the lineup would be as such

    Onana
    Yoro De Ligt Licha
    Amad Mainoo Casemiro Antony
    Rashford Bruno
    Zirkzee​

    City isn’t until Sunday , it’s more likely the team starting today will be similar to Sunday as we play EL on Thursday night.
     
    On the train heading up. Hoping the later kick off time helps.
     
    Wonder if the game gets called off as it’s no doubt 50-50 right now. If it does not and game is ok to go ahead then will go with the following:

    Onana

    Yoro - De Ligt - Martinez

    Amad - Mainoo - Ugarte - Mazraoui

    B.Fernandes - Garnacho

    Hojlund
    ​
    subs: Bayindir, Dalot, Maguire, Malacia, Casemiro, Mount, Antony, Rashford, Zirkzee

    score prediction: Manchester United 2-0 Nottingham Forest
     
    If they weee to cancel / postpone what time can we expect an announcement? Got to leave from central London
     
    It's yellow warning in Manchester so would be surprised if it's called off. Wind speed of around 35 km/h all afternoon in Manchester, so don't think travel should be an issue. Liverpool was flipping between Red and Amber so makes sense to call that one off.

    I live in Cardiff and we were in the heart of the Red warning zone and the storm seems to have died out for the most part. Last night was pretty rough though.
     
    Onana
    Mazraoui Maguire Martínez
    Amad Mainoo Ugarte Dalot
    Fernandes Rashford
    Hojlund

    3-1 Yanited

    I think this will be the line-up. However, that back 3 and midfield hardly has any pace at all. I'd be a but worried about Forest running through them on the counter.

    I don't disagree on the pace bit but I think what makes is it okay is that it will be congested centrally, Amorim's tactics has an element of defensive stability, and teams can't easily break on us or run through us unchallenged.

    Both were subbed off at 56 mins vs Everton, otherwise they played all minutes. But they haven’t the played the most minutes under him, that would be Bruno who got subbed off at 66 minutes in that game, and played the full 90 in the other three games.

    A team like this would be maximum rotation for today.

    Onana
    Evans - Maguire - Martinez
    Amad - Casemiro - Mainoo - Antony
    Zirkzee - Mount
    Rashford
    ​
    Evans, Maguire to come off early after half time. Maybe Zirkzee and Mount at ~65 mins.
     
    Weather not looking to bad at the minute around the Stockport area.
     
    Evenly matched teams, I'd say. Forest are content to soak the pressure and break. United aren't really great when having to take the initiative. I'd give Antony a chance here.

    2:2.
