Will be in Taipei for this one - anyone know of any bars that show premier league there/open late enough for it? Is there a thread for watching Utd overseas?

Does everyone think Ibra will be on PKs for the season?
He should be.
Hoping to see Mkhi start for this, would love it to be at the expense of Rooney but it won't be. Think Pogba will come on around the 60 min mark.
Smalling always plays in the left CB position so I think the new boy will be on the right.
Blind on the left of midfield doesn't make any sense when we have 'specialists' available for those positions. Bench for Blind unless the manager decides Shaw needs a small rest.
I doubt Darmian will play. Although a decent defender, he's not a wing-back which Valencia does well.
No way will Rooney start on the bench.Last edited:de GeaNot sure what's wrong with Lingard, but no need to drastically change a winning team. Those clamouring for Rooney to be dropped will be disappointed and I don't rate him myself.
Valencia - Bailly - Blind - Shaw
Fellaini - Pogba
Mata - Rooney - Martial
Ibrahimovic
Subs: Romero; Smalling; Schneiderlin, Herrera, Mhikitaryan; Memphis, Rashford
We can, now.
SKY are doing Friday night games this season.
good god. screw the match going fans.
Rachel Riley is playing for us?
Indeed. TV audiences and advertising revenue is being put ahead of match going fans who may not be able to make it on a Friday night.
What's wrong with FNF? How is it any different to MNF?
I do watch on my Rogers account at work. In Toronto indeed.
Haha don't we all. But I am bummed about it being on a Friday as well. Why would they do that? What am I supposed to do on Saturday morning?If Rooney can be benched then Pogba as a No.10 with Fellaini and Herrera putting in a shift in the midfield 2 behind him like they did against Bournemouth would be super effective.
I actually won't mind seeing that, which is in stark contrast to before the start of the season where i would've rather seen Pogba with Carrick and Schneiderlin.Gambled and went with Mkhitaryan to start. I think Jose was waiting for the right moment to start him. Against a team not as powerful as a Liecester and at home. To help slowly allow him to adaptVery weird feeling but, highly optimistic of handily winning this. Can't wait to see Pogba on the pitch for us - it's going to be electric and I feel Jose will also start Mkhitarayan as playing at home will be a lot less pressure than an away game. Also, Blind will keep his spot I think till Smalling gets his fitness back.
DDG, Valencia, Bailly, Blind, Shaw, Mkhi, Fellaini, Pogba, Martial, Rooney and Ibra and wouldn't put it past Rooney to get a goal and still play bleh enough just to infuriate some folks even more.I wouldn't mind a Milan'esque pyramid, though I don't think it'd happen.

Overseas, it's going to be tough, I had the same problem in Korea.
I think a river is your best bet, I am not even sure which channel would cover the league over there.
No way Mourinho will spoil Pogba's premiere with all the noise dropping Rooney would make. Besides, Rooney just scored in the last game…Am I going mad or has kick-off time changed ?
One can hope
Friday Night Lights!I'm not sure why this Friday night thing is such a bad thing? It's never seemingly effected attendances on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and we'll truly see on a Thursday this year for other reasons, it's a logical move to allow football to be seen every day. Long time coming really.
Think Pogba is fit as a fiddle, so realistically should start with......whoever, be fun to see he replaces Fellaini instead of Herrera though. Everywhere else could stay the same I guess.Presser tomorrow?
Sports bars showing football at 3am are quite rare. Although an MUFC one is pretty much the best bet as it's one of the bigger clubs. In general though, Taiwanese are not that big on soccer; they like their baseball and NBA.
I'd recommend you watch at home, or in the hotel, either on the official TV channel carrying it or on a river.I want Micky to start.
I play on Friday, Saturday and Sunday afternoons.
There's nothing quite like watching football in the morning.
They're stupid.De Gea

No he doesn't. Smalling normally plays on the right. But last season when Jones would come in it was Smalling that moved over to the left side.
If I had to guess I would say it'd be Bailly on the right and Smalling on the left, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if it's the other way around. Both seem to prefer to be on the right.Friday night footballCan't wait to go, what a night this will be! So many home debuts, new boys are in town . Pogba's return and against a side i expect us to whallop - Koeman pulled their strings and will be a big loss. I'm expecting 3 or 4 goals with no reply so hoping to start the weekend with a bangIt'll be the same starting XI I think. Herrera might come out for Carrick, but that's it.
Your right. I was confusing my left with my right.
I concurI love this Friday night football stuff. I would prefer it when other teams are playing in it though.

That's the team I think we'll see. The brackets are what I would prefer to see.I want it to be Friday now.
I want a dominant performance.FFS!
I swapped my early shift for a late one as a favour to a colleague.
I had no idea we were playing on Friday - I'm now going to miss the first half!
I for one am loving the thought of Friday night football!! Finish work at 4pm, get some beers and food in, watch United wipe the floor with Southampton and the rest of the weekend to watch all my bets lose- Status
