Late fitness for test for Pogba?
Potentially very big injury news for United.

Paul Pogba pictured leaving the Lowry Hotel around an hour before the rest of the team in his United training tracksuit. Late fitness test?

Gotta win today as usual would like us to score early to open the game up.
Would like to think we could sort our goal difference out if score early enough.
Hopefully won't miss Fellaini to much with Swansea direct play and aerial threat. Hopefully fatigue doesn't play apart.
Let's put the pressure on the team's around us.

We have to look at goal difference, I want all out attack. Honestly we should be aiming for 4 goals

Swansea are good at home under Clement but i don't think he has picked up an away point yet

Any win will do and I certainly don't see us winning with 4 or 5 goals.

EyeInTheSky · Apr 30, 2017

Dilemma if Pogba is fit enough to play. Do you play him in a potentially sticky game that we should win at home and risk him being injured for longer and miss games against Tottenham and Arsenal which puts CL qualification in our hands or do we leave him out and make sure he fully recovers for those games perhaps ruling him missing from today's game.

Tarrou · Apr 30, 2017

I don't think we should risk Pogba, we could potentially lose him for the rest of the season. Surely we've got enough to beat Swansea without him?

Bench him for this game and see how it pans out.

We shouldn't need him to beat these.

I will go with 3 minutes 43 seconds

I would play Pogba, if the medical team deem him fit to play then that is that.

Get Mata whacked in aswell.

I agree but I have thought that about 11 times at OT this season and we drew them.

It's certainly a risk. Hopping we have too much speed for them up top

He picked up 3 against Liverpool away. Lost every away game since though.

A frustrating 1-0, 35th minute goal by Herrera

If thats right that'll be my first 11/11 of the season. Only took the squad being decimated down to 11 fit players for me to get it.

Marcelinho87 · Apr 30, 2017

That 11 should be more than good enough.

WalkerTheRed · Apr 30, 2017

The players will wear black armbands during today's game as a mark of respect to the fans who recently lost their lives in Calabar, Nigeria.

Good team if that is true, feel for bailly having to play so many games. I think we will freshen up the midfield on thursday by playing Pogba,fellaini and Henrikh "Mr europa" Mkhitarayan. Maybe even the fullbacks +mata. I think its good enough to beat swansea, with mata and mkhi on the bench should we need them.

Yeah I think we'll beat them without Pogba

There's something about Paul Clement's look I find quite alluring. Dunno why.

Looks like we're going 4-2-3-1 with Rooney at #10. Pace in front of him might give him space to operate in. Hopefully that can help him roll the clock back a bit. If not bring on the special Juan. So glad to see him in the match day squad. You can almost always count on Juan to get a goal when we need it.

Bestie07 said:

One of the kids. Centre midfielder. Unit. Like 6'4". Jose's kind of midfielder. :lol:

Kag · Apr 30, 2017

Good line up all things considered. No Fellaini and pace up top.
