If I had to guess:
Henderson
Williams Tuanzebe Maguire Telles
VdB Matic
Greenwood Mata James
Ighalo
Let’s be honest guys, Maguire will definitely start and make his 700th consecutive appearance.
From what Ole said yesterday he's not going to start. He referred to him being involved but hoping he wouldn't need him. Bit of a strange quote to be honest.
Hopefully I don’t need to put him on in that we need goals, but hopefully he can join in.
I heard the other day that Maguire had the most minutes in 2020 of anyone in World football.
Was hoping that Rashford, Bruno wouldn't be on the match day squad next hope is that both see no game tonight.
If Maguire starts tonight I'll be more convinced than ever that it's part of his contract that he must start every game when fit.
Me too, and I think none of us were surprised. Bruno was up there too, but from the City performance, he looks in need of a break, preferably in this game.
You don't have to guess...
Will likely be AWB rather than Williams. I'd wager McFred over VBD and Matic, too.If Bruno or Rashford start I'll genuinely be angry, it would be completely illogical.Is it 3 subs or 5?
Be prepared for either of both ....I’d put money on Bruno to startThey both desperately need a rest, Ole will wreck any chance we have by burning those two out.
He’s confirmed VdB will start but putting McFred in here with Pool in a week’s time will be ludicrous.Saw this on reddit and I loved it
I enjoyed that.
Van Der Beek got left hanging.
Though not much love for Juan Mata.
That could well be true. The guy almost never gets injured, which makes a change from a few years ago when our entire defensive line was made from glass.
Very strangely worded
"Yeah he's off soon - but he can pad the bench out until he leaves in a couple of weeks"Good to see Bruno rested completely. Right decision. Otherwise we all know we'd be bringing him on for 35-40.
It is true. We also had Bruno at #4 and Lindelof at #7.
On the one hand it's good that we've got players who can play so many minutes, on the other hand it is worrying that we've been going overboard and not letting them rest enough. Especially as Lindelof was playing with a bit of a back injury for most (all?) of that time.
Where did you see this ?Henderson
Williams Axel Lindelof Telles
Matic pogba
Mata VDB James
Ighalo
I'll go with this
Henderson
Williams Axel Lindelof Telles
Matic VDB
Jesse Mata James
Ighalo
Not mentioned in the squad list? He'd be a fairly obvious spot if he was in it!
The two missing players will surely be youth teamers.
He's in the squad list.
He is mentioned.
He is mentionedI'm just absolutely desperate that we don't see Bruno playing tonight
What a weird feeling.
Re: Rashford and Bruno
I accept what you say partially.
The opposing argument would be that without these 2 players on the pitch, can we win the match?
Bruno is an absolute game-changer and turned us into a mid table team in Dec 2019, to a top3 team a year later.
One way to mitigate this would be to start with Rashford and Bruno on the bench and if/when we need goals, we bring these players on in the 2nd half. This means that these key players will only be playing 45 minutes in each match, until they feel that they are well rested. If we are winning the match without them, then they can be left on the bench.
Consider also, that Ole is going for 3 trophies (Europa, League FA, Cup, EPL title), which means that every game in every competition is important and a must-win.
what does it matter? Ole won’t make more than two anywayIf Bruno is starting it’s unforgivable
The youth players like Lingard, might get to play for 10 minutes at the end, assuming that we are leading the tie.
He has? I must've missed that.
Donny van de Beek can prove a point tonight
Donny van de Beek is set to start for Manchester United against Watford amid concerns in Holland over his lack of playing time.
Ah feck there goes my lineup prediction.Watford have the 2nd best defensive record in the championship with 17 goals conceded in 22 matches. However they seem vulnerable at set pieces but can United exploit that weakness tonight?Saw this on reddit and I loved it
