Manchester United 1:2 Sheffield United

Hughie77 · Jan 27, 2021

Seems most are ok with line up, Matic Pogba has been ok in games they've started. Tuanzabe is the one for me maybe this is the game for him , hope he does well hes been ok so far. Just win lads got to keep pace.
Just a question is the Everton game being moved because of FA cup in Feb. I think I've read it is but so far it's still on for tha Monday night.

Anyone else get annoyed by the way the team is displayed in the tweets? I know it’s numerical order but it takes me way longer than it should to work out the formation.

Yes, it's bloody annoying.

Blades1889 · Jan 27, 2021

Best to log off now and have a few beers so I can get through this.

mu4c_20le · Jan 27, 2021

Mason needs the minutes more than Diallo

FrankDrebin · Jan 27, 2021

This is going to be tight (in best Lisa Ann pronunciation)

Pogba at centre half? Tuanzebe up front? What the fuc...oh wait

We have had almost zero injuries this season which makes things so much easier.

To rotate?

Surely, it makes it easier to rotate if you have no injuries; easier to make changes and give more players changes.

Anyway, Solskjaer deserves credit for keeping us fit and for overseeing the least amount of injuries we have had in about 15-years... all of Fergie's last years were hampered by large numbers of injuries. Ole said he was going to sort that out... and has...

kirk buttercup · Jan 27, 2021

Get a few goals up then Throw VdB , James , Cavani on . Try keep everyone fresh and Matchfit

VivaRonaldo85 · Jan 27, 2021

Five changes is good for freshness. Thought Rashford could get a rest ahead of the weekend and would have liked to see him on the bench. Tuanzebe surprising inclusion but not an issue in tonight’s game.

FrankDrebin · Jan 27, 2021

Cavani to start against Arse.

markhughes · Jan 27, 2021

Expecting 3 points obviously but it might not be as easy as some people seem to think, I’m glad we have a strong team out tonight.

stu_1992 · Jan 27, 2021

Good team, most of the changes I expected to be honest and can't exactly disagree with. My only major concern is how Maguire and Tuanzebe will do as a centre back pairing. It seems Bailly is injured or something if he's not even on the bench. Usually I would have just said stick him or Lindelof in for this game and use the other at the weekend against Arsenal. But I guess it'll have to be Lindelof against Arsenal.

Anyway I hope we're at it from the start and can just control the game and put it to bed early. Get some more players rested. None of this conceding a goal to start playing that we've seen soo much of against smaller sides.

GledTheRed · Jan 27, 2021

Need to stuff these cnuts.

The Red Thinker · Jan 27, 2021

Im super excited to see my boy Tuanzebe get a start as a CB. He has all the tools to be a great CB. Pace, power, height and temperament. Hope he knocks it out of the park.

Damien · Jan 27, 2021

Very predictable lineup. Only thing I got wrong was Maguire's CB partner but with the fitness of the options it's a lottery.

Toad · Jan 27, 2021

I feel for AWB. He must be exhausted.

GMoore23 · Jan 27, 2021

Good side, we should be in for our first comfortable night in a while. Glad to see Cavani rested for the Arsenal game but think Pogba should have been rested for it also. He's put a real shift in the last couple of games.
Any news on Bailly, is he injured again?

FrankDrebin · Jan 27, 2021

Do we have any RB back-up ?

Why Baldock? But yeah after years of having a great record with injuries, this season has smashed it to pieces.

Over Bogle. Bogle as I said just now has been decent this season, for example in the Brighton game. Better than Baldock anyway, although I recognise Baldock is something of a hero for you.

DOTA · Jan 27, 2021

Like the team. Right mix of first choice players and rotation ones, for me.

Is asking us to start strong and not give any stupid goals away too much to ask for? Let’s get an early goal and hopefully the flood gates open!

Yep, drives me nuts.

Shimo · Jan 27, 2021

With Sheffield's injury issues, their league position and the team we have starting, this should be comfortable win. But, have not shook the losses we've had in the last 2 seasons against relegation teams. So am worried. Hope we can get the first goal and early - if only to calm my nerves.

lex talionis · Jan 27, 2021

We can expect the customary game-raising performance from the visitor to OT, but there can be no excuses for not putting this one out of sight by HT.

Memories of Bruno running on fumes at the end of last season are not easily forgotten, and the more we can save from having to exert himself against the like of Sheffield United so that he's 100% against the likes of Arsenal, the better.

GMoore23 · Jan 27, 2021

We really need another RB option this window, Ole clearly doesn't trust Williams and Bissaka's form is suffering from being run into the ground.

I have no idea what this means. Honest.

2 man midfield · Jan 27, 2021

Good team considering the rotation

pablo__p · Jan 27, 2021

Peter Bankes is the ref today, first time he officiates a United game. Hope he has a good game.

I really hope we kill the game in the first half and can give a bit of rest to the likes of Bruno/AWB/Rashford.

Dr. Dwayne · Jan 27, 2021

Why the feck are we starting Rashford?

FrankDrebin · Jan 27, 2021

Hello Mr Spaceman.
Hello.

Every time. I’m just thankful De Gea is number one otherwise that’d properly confuse me.

At the very least you’d hope he gets subbed off early. Wouldn’t hold your breath, mind.

I'd prefer not to run one of our best players into the ground.

To save Cavani for Arsenal I guess.

No game is easy etc. But... It is Sheffield United at home. Surely Mata/Diallo/James could’ve seen this one out and us having enough quality to still win.

Nori- · Jan 27, 2021

The starting 11 seems a bit over kill, no?

Rashford, Bruno and Maguire have all played non stop for months. We are playing a team with 5 points in 18 games.

We still have several competitions to compete in. Surely this was the chance to rest players?

Giggsy13 · Jan 27, 2021

If we’re truly title contenders, we need to take care of business comfortably in these games. City set the standard yesterday and we need to come close to that.
