Good that Lingard is being given a chance to show off his football. Else no team would want him.

Williams, Henderson, Greenwood, James, Tuanzebe and Lingard. What's the problem?

Aye, it's almost as if there is a fixture pile up and there's a need to use the squad.

Mental really.

More a judgment of the quality of the 2nd string smart arse

this is bollocks. VDB has yet to grab his opportunity - he didn’t do it yet. If he has a fabulous match today and manages to orchestrate the gameplay, then he will give Ole thoughts. But if he is invisible again ... so let’s see

You should take his opinion with a pinch of salt.
@lex talionis is pretty much obsessed with VDB. Almost like Amadeus with Poch.

Isn’t Mejbri ready for the bench against a Championship opposition? Very upsetting if true

I wish he was but he has not always impressed me in all the u23 games.

wolvored · Jan 9, 2021

The only thing I can see what I cant understand is Lingard. I was hoping he was being showed the way out.

Dont like the team, weird selection. It is enough to go through, i am predicting a 1 0 or 2 1. This game would have been perfect for Pellistri to come off bench.

He might come on from the bench, later in the match.
When does his contract expire btw, anybody know?

EliotTheRed · Jan 9, 2021

I’m not one to make a note of comments by individual members, but some of you crack me up.
Before the line up was announced everyone is asking for rotation and basically our second string to play.
When that does happen it’s all moaning about rotation and how our second string are playing. Maybe it’s just the ‘Ole Out’ brigade getting their comments in first ready for an ‘I told you so’ post match.
I for one however am looking forward to seeing how the team gets on. I’d say the back line and GK is very dependable with the full backs able to get forward and support the attack. Forward line at least has pace and Greenwood in his favoured position so that’s something to get excited about. Hopefully our two technical players in Mata and VdB will strike up a good relationship too.

Sensible by Ole, fascinating for us to see if there will be any cohesion. Pretty humbling for VdB to know that this is what he’s been reduced to.

We're a top of the league premier league outfit.
He can't expect to walk into a team that has Pogba, Bruno and others.

mav_9me · Jan 9, 2021

Don't care for Lingard obviously but like the team. Whatever the result a lot of these need game time and to show they should be ahead of others in first team.

Hows it weird? Experienced spine yet resting practically everyone

Pellistri has covid, is that Ole’s fault too?

He actually plays well against Championship sides, so he may play well today.
I think the EPL is too much of a step up for him.
The problem for him is that when Bruno arrived and replaced him, the difference was night and day - it wasn't even close. This showed Ole just how bad Lingard is/was.

He is....but if we fancy getting more than a packet of crisps we need to at least show he still can kick a ball surely?

Lingard should play at attacking midfield with Mata on the right.

Hopefully Mata at 10 and not Jesse.

Same here, want to see Mata as Bruno's backup.

Yeah with Pellistri having Covid and Diallo only being here for 2 days, who else but James and Lingard were going to play?

VivaRonaldo85 · Jan 9, 2021

Happy to see a new XI. Absolutely right to take this gamble given the relentless run of fixtures at the moment and how significant next week in the league may be.

Only surprise is Lingard as I thought he was as good as gone. The other 10 make sense. Plenty of ammo on the bench if it’s going tits up.

Offside · Jan 9, 2021

Lingard just being placed in the shop window?

JMack1234 · Jan 9, 2021

That's exactly the sort of side I wanted.

We just have hope they get off to a good start so Ole doesn't panic and bring on Bruno for a half.

Unrelated point: How much better is the FA Cup without replays?

Lingard is 28 but forever a young player i guess

Siorac · Jan 9, 2021

Very happy with this starting XI. I'd have liked to see a couple of youngsters on the bench though.

I really hope they can do the job because I really don't want to see Bruno tonight.

Doesn’t give youth a chance.... 6 out of the 11 starters are United academy graduate, and the captain tonight is also a United academy graduate.

United will not miss negative support so enjoy not watching

JTW95 · Jan 9, 2021

Im happy enough with the starting 11. Resting the key men and a lot of these players have a point to prove I think we will play better than people think

Devil may care · Jan 9, 2021

Maguire not starting is surprising, disappointed that Bailly is starting though as that means slow and slower will be starting against Burnley. I'm guessing Lingard at #10 and Mata RWF but i hope it's the other way around.

That's my thought tbf...I'll agree with that.

Steve 007 · Jan 9, 2021

I’m really hoping that VDB has a scorcher and that Greenwood and Bailly want to stake a claim for the Liverpool game. It’s another game for Telles and good to see Mata get minutes. We all know Bruno’s quality but we need VDB and Mata to give him a rest more often or he’ll be injured burnt out before we know it.
