Something he hasn't felt since....

"Rooney felt something in training yesterday..." is that the politically correct way of saying he showed up eating and drinking shit ton and couldn't train and is being ~~benched~~ dropped for it?

Edit:
Not benched, dropped.

No.

I assume that's why Mkhitaryan's only on the bench, though.

Apparently its not televised live in the UK. Does anyone know what channel it will be on.

(Not requesting river, just the channel).

I have a bad feeling about this game. A Jordan Pickford show is something that has been in my mind.

It's not televised here as it's a 3pm KO.
If you're abroad then you have more chance

3pms are never televised. How do people not realise this by now? (Not having a go at you, it's just that I always notice people raging when a 3pm isn't televised.)

You will easily find a river on Reddit.

DomesticTadpole · Dec 26, 2016

United short a man?
The United subs are warming up but there’s no sign of Fellaini yet. Maybe it’s a bit cold for him. It doesn’t look like someone has dropped out of the starting XI and he’s going to play. At the moment, though, United could be one short on the bench.

I know, but what channel will it be on... even foreign channel. Just need a name!

My current FM run also suggests that.

It's on NBCSN

No Martial or Mkh

We deserve failure

DomesticTadpole · Dec 26, 2016

Man down?
That would give a few United fans a Happy New Year.

Still no sign of Fellaini for the warm-up or his would-be replacement Young. Maybe Fellaini's negotiating a third transfer with Moyes. #mufc

Alabaster Codify7 · Dec 26, 2016

Ill take that lineup I guess, glad Blind is in ahead of Darmian and hoping for a good 25-30mins for both Mkhitaryan and Martial. C'mon lads, let's give them a pasting.

Just watch the game and at least try to enjoy it like the rest of us.

Baill'y omission
Mourinho can afford to omit Bailly because Jones and Rojo have been excellent. That is a sentence I never thought I’d write but it’s true.

Particularly since Bailly will be leaving for AFCON duty next week. It would be illogical to break up a stable partnership when Jones and Rojo could remain there into February.

That’d give United three months of continuity in central defence, injury and suspension permitting.

Forgot he was away at the AFCON for a while.

How can I enjoy it when we have our most exciting players on the bench, it's a joke

RedNed77 · Dec 26, 2016

I wonder which version of Lingard will turn up today.

You mean Pogba and Zlatan? They are playing no worries.

It's Sunderland, managed by The Chosen One. Me and you could probably play and we'd still win and look good doing so.

Lingard on the left
As MUTV had it, Lingard lining up on the left and Mata on the right for warm-up attacking drills.
