Would be painful for Lingard if this is his only chance, I can see him underperforming with this unknown role.

Clearly Lvg prefers Young at LB.
If Lingard messes up in RB then LVG will put Young to RB and bring on James for LB.
Jones and Smalling could be England's next centre back pairing, you lot should praise them. We need extra CB as cover only right now.
Optimism people!
This stuff is silly. If you know anything about footy, surely you have enough to form an opinion?
Do you expect Chelsea and City to struggle? Or is it too early for you to form a view?! Fecking hell!Scholsey sounds nervous
Why not wait until we play an actual competitive match before moaning.Nice to have it back. Just to get away from that Vidal bollocks. 2-1That was a surprising lineup. Lots of youngsters in there. I'll take a 2-1 win right now.I assume the whinging is because that lineup would do shit in an online game of FIFA. In real life I think it'll work pretty well.
Reminds me of Villa on the opening day of 95-96Can someone PM me a link to a stream please?
Sorry to be cheeky!
It's LingardMcmanaman in being a cnut shockerJanuzaj should have started. Don't understand what hernandez does to merit a starting spot. The only reason might be rooney is going to drop back. We might see a 3-4-2-1 lineup
Jones, Smalling, Young, Lingard and Blackett are in our defence. Let that sink in. Football has moved on since the 90sNot overly impressed with the defense, will be a tough game but still going for a 2-1 win.
Fair play in regards to backing the team on the pitch but it is not a disservice to point out that our lack of spending is denying the team the quality it needs to be competitive in the top 4 and in Europe. For all the great wealth of the club as one of the richest in the world, they are small time when it comes to getting the best players and competing with the other top teams in Europe and even the league with transfers.
Disgraceful transfer business so far, Herrera and Shaw alone would have been fine if it was not for the fact we had a team that had wilted on the vine, too many crocks, old players and bad buys.
Team is in dire need of investment.Big decisions from LVG and I really hope they pay off. Blackett in particular I like a lot already and I'm really glad he's got a chance to really make a statement for himself today.We will win 4-0 with Lingard and Blackett one assist each.You can't win anything with kids.
Nah, looks like a pacey line-up all the way through. Would do alright on FIFA.I've stayed up till 5am to watch this. God I love UnitedWeakest United team in 20 years? I'd say we had some crackers between 03-05 with the Djemba twins and Richardson in there. Giggs - O'Shea in midfield too. Apart from a few, it still looks like an exciting team.
Because it's impossible to make predictions after the fact. What's wrong with this place?!
Whatever will happen will, happen - however, based on what we have and what others have, I don't expect success. Shoot me.All the ratings and line-up prediction points will be reset right? Preseason shouldn't count.A bit weird that we're playing our reserve goalkeeper at left-back.
I've been wondering this for the past 2 seasons more. Really ridiculous.Wasn't sure that Hernandez would start, but now that he is, I probably should have put him in my fantasy team. Hopefully if he scores, his goals comes through mata or Rooney.Wow, surprised about Lingard, but happy for him. Hope he does well today. Honestly, I'd never have seen him as a wing back, but I trust that Van Gaal knows more than me in that respect. If he does well, who knows? Could stay in the team for a while. Same with Blackett who deserved his place in the team. I really think and hope he does well today.
I've gone 4-0 too, strangely confident today for some reason!Well the negativity surrounding our club from fans is ridiculous.
I am really pleased to see the youngsters making their debuts and smalling and jones can have big seasons.
I cannot believe our own fans are writing us off already. We have idiots on bt sports doing that for us.
This team is not half as bad as people are making out. All I would add to it would be rvp and and a top centre half. Centre mid if vidal was available at the right price. Other than that with a fit squad we have enough to compete.Swansea are stronger than I thought they were...maybe a 3-0 prediction was a bit too confident. Sigurdsson was such a good player there before, much better as a big fish in a small pond.
Haha bulk likes for you
United have an obligation to Juventus to show he's fit and he can play. After all, he's part of the Vidal deal if the rumors are happen to be true
Yeah I voted 4-0 too, lets see!
It's daft isn't it? Been the case for at least three or more seasons in a row now. And players with good injury records like Shaw come in and get injured almost immediately! Though in his case was probably a case of overtraining and then being thrown in the deep end playing a match just after a rigorous training session.BT Sport giving the team a bit of a kicking, but today's team is not the strongest due to injuries.
A front five of Carrick, Herrera, Mata, Rooney & RVP is not gping to be far off the top of the league.Steve McManaman has "nothing against United"
Steve Mcmanaman: I've got nothing against United
Really happy that blackett is getting his chance. Good lineup. I was hoping kagawa could start beside Rooney but it seems like he hasn't been doing enough.
Big time, none of our defensive players (even Evans who has the quality but is injured more often than not these days) would get on the bench for the likes of Chelsea and City, nevermind Arsenal or the bloody scousers.- Status
