Surprised at Ronaldo being given the armband
If things don’t go well and he storms off at full time in a sulk it will not be a good look

Ronaldo as captain, you love to see it.I’m a Harry fan but would be a good opportunity to slide the captaincy away for him, at least for a while. Let him rediscover his form without the additional burdenRemember when Matthew McConaughey went through his revival after years in the wilderness? Time for Phil Jones to take this story to the next level.
Wolves line up look pretty neat. This will be a tough match I think. Don't really like Jones and Ronaldo starting but let's hope Ronaldo will score, Jones will have a good match and we'll win.
Lindelof had covid with apparently zero symptoms. The fact that he'd been playing regularly, the weeks rest would have done him no harm and I'd have started him over Jones if available.McT played like Scholes against Burnley.
Hope that was not a one off performance and it is the new McT under Ralf.
I dont expect any issues with Bissaka's defending today. Dalot would struggle against Wolves in my opinion.
That’s one take. But another take is that it’s the obvious decision by the manager, all things considered.
Ralf said it was only yesterday they knew we'd be without him.This match has 0-0 written all over it.
I agree, its hard to strip the captaincy away from a player without hitting his morale, but the softer way is this one. During an away period due to injury.We'll need to be a lot better than against Burnley to win this today I think. Wolves aren't as annoying to play as they were, but it still will be far from pretty.
Jesus you have been moaning all day. Wait till after the game at leastPJ4 eh. Imagine if he does the business for us tonight and then goes on a decent run. Go on Phil my son.
Is the lineup picture the only picture of him ever taken?? Or just the worst picture ever taken (of anyone)?
Off the turf.Jiminez is absolute top quality
Was only Time they could get him standing up without crutches.I predict Jones will play surprisingly well tonight, which will lead to many prematurely calling him “class” and insist he should be starting. Then it’ll become abundantly clear why he shouldn’t within the space of the first two consecutive starts after this.I can already see Jones making an appearance in the world cup.We haven't scored a single goal off a corner since that new bloke came in. The scenes if Phil Jones ends that run today.The name is Jones. Phil Jones.Good luck Phil Jones!!
I'm absolutely buzzing. Ralf pulls no punches with his team selections.
Best we can hope for is a jammy win this game I think. Wolves are extremely solid defensively and our attack is shit. We were totally outplayed earlier on in the season too.
Hoping for a Ronaldo rescue mission.
Edit: On that note, we should be seriously looking at signing Sa. He has been spectacular.Anyone saying Phil Jones should be playing for MUFC has such low expectations for this club its unreal.
Embarrassing.Shocked to see Jones start. Thought his career was over, at least at the top level. Have to admit I'm scared that he'll have a bad day but I hope he plays well, for his sake and ours. Bruno on the bench is the right call as Sancho and Greenwood did well in the AM positions last time out. Worried about the midfield though, especially Matic playing two games in quick succession. This won't be easy.I think we will draw.Only just seen the lineups.
O M G Jones lives?!The iron fist of Ralf - Bruno out, Rashford, out, Fred out
40 yards out
All people give a shit about is the memes. Vapid, hollow culture.I’m glad to see both Bruno and Rashford are finally dropped, let’s hope the likes of Sancho and Greenwood will kick on and make the best use of these opportunities.
Scott plays at centreback for Scotland doesn't he? Matic can drop back there if needed as well.
Just try and support the team, is it that hard for you to do?
I want Jones to do it all today. I don't just want him on the end of that corner, I also want him to be the one taking it. Imagine assisting your own goal from a corner.
I also want him saving a penalty and nutmegging their boss. (fake Bruno)I think Dalot can feel a bit unlucky. I assume RR is just trying to keep as close to the previous XI as possible but AWB wasn't great.This is the time to show what we can do. Our season starts here!Checked out the lineup and Phil Jones???? damn, I wonder how many picked him to start?
3-1 United
Ronaldo, Cavani and Greenwood all score.
I think we didn't score a single goal on corner and free kick since the sart of the season.- Status
