    AWB Tuanzebe Maguire Telles
    Fred
    VdB Pogba
    Greenwood Martial Rashford

    Think Bruno needs and deserves a break, but no break for Fred as Leipzig’s high-pressing game will annihilate Matic. We need Tuanzebe in there too to snuff out their counters.

    Prediction: United 2-1 Leipzig

    Probably play them both and rest Rashford maybe, we need some rotation as we have Arsenal at the weekend too.

    No point having all these players and not trusting them.

    Very true. There is simply no excuse for Ole to fail to rotate given the resources he has now both in attack and midfield, especially midfield. In Martial and Cavani he has no excuse to run Rashford to the ground, same with Bruno in midfield who has both of Pogba and VDB qualify to slot in for him w/I seeing any drop in overall quality.

    Taking Bruno out of our midfield means a huge drop in quality and workrate. I know he could do with a rest but he’s crucial to our team’s efforts.
     
    I'm expecting us to put some goals on the score sheet today. I am thinking 3-0 will be the score with goals from...
    Matial, Cavani and VDB.

    I can’t believe we won a champions league semi final with Anderson scoring twice and Gibson getting a goal and an assist :lol:

    I don’t know if it’s because we won the league in 2011 but the difference in emotion I feel seeing the 2010/11 kits with the white collar vs the red and black the season before. It’s like the sun has finally come out. (2013/14 also has a black trim which is perfect for a season as dark as Mordor)

    also that Mata flick against Wolfsburg...
     
    A lot of comments on here sound like pre-Saville. Leipzig very nearly got to the CL final, they are a very good team. I hope for a win, but maybe a draw will not be so bad.
     
    Home game, must win. Simple as that. Keep the momentum up from PSG. It'll put us in a great position with the next two games being two games we should be winning. Won't be easy tonight though.

    Agree, no chance imo that Bruno is dropped. Neither should we, we've started with a great result, let's get this group wrapped up as quickly as possible.
     
    I just really hope we dont play 4-2-3-1.
    We gotta play 4-2-2-2.
    This is the line up I would start. I would rest Bruno.

    Hendo
    AWB Tuanzebe Maguire Telles
    Fred Mc
    Pogba DVB
    Martial Rashford

    Telles still out by the looks of it and probably explains why Williams is with the squad
     
    Why people keep posting teams with 5 at the back formations? Aren't we at home and surely we must play on the front foot rather than as underdogs?
     
    3 hours before kick off, and already in countdown mode. Midweek big European matches against new hipster teams are so exciting.

    Fascinated to see how Ole and Nagelsmann approach the tactics and if their players can deploy those effectively. With 5 subs, game management will also be crucial.

    No such thing as home advantage to anyone anymore since no fans

    Of course there is. We've got an away game in a week in Istanbul. That's a long flight, away from friends and family in a different climate. Loads of factors that can come into play when playing away. When playing at home your match day routine is just that, a routine. Everything is taking care of, nothing will go wrong in terms of sleep, travel arrangement, food, gear etc.

    There are also various little things that can affect a player's psyche. First time playing at Old Trafford is massive for a lot of players.

    At the very least you've got the advantage of not having to travel and the comfort of what you're used to when playing at home.
