Do we really need Matic and Fred at home against WBA? Perfect time to start VDB in my opinion.

Which will allow Telles to focus on his crossing, and give Bruno the freedom to stay closer to goal (compare his positioning in front of double pivot versus the other formations we've played this season).

You could also do that with a diamond, not that I like that formation. But there are other formations that would also allow Telles to cross and Bruno to stay higher up than 4231.

He’s a complete and utter waste of space. I’m beyond done with his lazy, bullshit performances and theatrics.

I’m not saying I’m happy that he’s injured. Just couldn’t care less that he’s not involved in the squad.

Not my favourite player but I wish him well!

Absolutly love seeing Mata again. Brilliant gifted player. Even more brilliant brain.

Shame he isn't in his early 20.

Any idea what the injury is?

No. Guess Ole will confirm a bit later.

OldTrevil · Nov 21, 2020

Should be strong enough lineup for wb, strengthened in CL by addition of more quality

Looking forward to match

RedDevilUnited369 · Nov 21, 2020

Pogba got a ankle knock...Ole said he should be good for CL Tuesday.

Because Mata has linked well with Bruno.

Two players you named are injured

I wasn’t saying they should be playing merely just making a statement.

However the mata Bruno thing I feel is overplayed.

They played well against Newcastle. Since then he hasn’t really been good however he must be showing stuff in training so I hope he can do something.

feck off with not playing Donny.

6 defensive players against WBA at home

7 we play every game now with 7 defensive players who offer nothing attacking wise. It's pathetic

Good

Andycoleno9 · Nov 21, 2020

Without fans support it is good choice to play with defensive lineup. Going too attacking would be too risky. Wba is dangerous.

No Idea For Nickname · Nov 21, 2020

With 5-0 win, we are 7th, until tomorrow anyway. Above City and Arsenal (same number of games) Crazy season.

Come on Uniteeeed scoooreee at least 5!

PoTMS · Nov 21, 2020

What did we English United fans do to deserve Solskjaer and Southgate?

RayK47 · Nov 21, 2020

Trusting Matic again after his rubbish in the champions league, he better perform.

hobbers · Nov 21, 2020

Shows just how utter garbage our recruitment was that we're still starting Mata on the right wing and Matic in midfield.

Still, this should be an absolute cake walk and Ole has no excuses not to blow WBA away.

I'm no huge fan of either but one took us as far in a world cup as we have been in my lifetime (im 28), and the other is a living legend managing my club.

Nightmare innit.

Looking forward to seeing Telles.

Depending on the result tonight we could end up 7th and above City, Arsenal and Wolves. Need this win

Beyond the team selection, I cannot believe Pogba's unavailable AGAIN. I would sell him just off his injury record.

red woppit · Nov 21, 2020

I understand the selections to a degree, only Maguire, Lindelof, Bruno and Martial played in midweek, although I was surprised that Lindelof and Martial are starting, as they were both struggling with injuries apparently.
Matic and Fred should give us a solid base from which to launch attacks from, let's get hold of the game, and take some of the opportunities that surely will come our way. Telles should give us some good width on the left, and hopefully AWB can progress on the right. Mata is s good pick as he can create really well around the box, just hope Martial and Rashford have their shooting boots on.

jasT1981 · Nov 21, 2020

I wonder what is going on with Greenwood. must be a last minute knock if he isn't even in the squad given he trained all week?

Did I say Greenwood? How foolish of me. I actually meant Rashford.

Yes, that's who I meant.

laughtersassassin · Nov 21, 2020

Our starting 11 is worse this season than last after lockdown.

No Greenwood again.....

Stating Mata in 2020 at RW....

Hope we win. Lots to be concerned about. One thing that's for sure is we aren't progressing at all

Neither will win anything despite having one of the best squads in the world so there's that.

If he has been ill, he might need a bit more time. Hopefully he gets a run out midweek as I wouldn't want to be throwing him in against Southampton for his first game in ages.

Not a bad lineup

If we don't win I'm treating myself to a pizza to cheer myself up. And if we do win then I'm having a pizza to celebrate.

Solskjaer on Pogba
The United boss confirmed Paul Pogba picked up his knock in training yesterday.

He told MUTV:

"Paul has got a knock and he started feeling it yesterday before the session and he couldn't carry on. Hopefully he'll still be ok for Tuesday, but we still don't know.
"We can't have any excuses. With the 11 we started, it's more or less the same as the Everton one. Nemanja for Scott but Scott's been all over the world. We should have energy, we should be ok.
"Paul has got a knock and he started feeling it yesterday before the session and he couldn't carry on. Hopefully he'll still be ok for Tuesday, but we still don't know."
