    You don't think people will go nuts if he's on the bench?

    I don’t know whether Rangnick values VDB or not - it’s up to him to decide. But considering the above arguments, I am easy with any.
     
    Rangnick confirmed that Varane and Cavani are not available, and will not be available for Norwich either. Full training only from Monday at the earliest.
     
    Rangnick far less committal on Lingard. Decent chance he won't start tomorrow.
     
    Rangnick confirms Martial is out until next week at the earliest.
     
    MUTV coverage is embarrassing. Someone currently talking about United needing to make sure that they win the group tomorrow... Host doesn't correct him.

    He was asked about Donny and Henderson. He directly responded that they would start. He was asked about Lingard. He gave a far more general answer.
     
    Rangnick loves to talk. I think his conferences will be very informative in future.

    So we know Henderson and van de Beek will start. Natural assumption is Matic will too.

    Ruled out: Cavani, Varane, Martial, Jones.

    Not that committal on Lingard, and no mention of Shaw.

    So team so far:

    Henderson

    RB CB CB LB
    Matic van de Beek*
    RF ----------------- LF
    CF ---- CF
    ​
    *could be RF/LF with him playing there against Palace. I don't think Rangnick sees him as being able to play in that disciplined position alongside Matic.

    Remaining players
    Defenders: Wan-Bissaka, Dalot, Lindelof, Maguire, Bailly, Telles, Shaw**
    Midfielders: McTominay, Fred
    Forwards: Fernandes, Mata, Amad, Sancho, Lingard, Rashford, Ronaldo, Elanga, Greenwood.

    **doubtful

    Wan-Bissaka and Bailly will surely start at the back. The other two spots will likely go to Lindelof/Maguire and Telles unless Shaw is fit.

    I can't see Ronaldo starting. Greenwood and Elanga coming off the bench against Palace indicates to me they'll start tomorrow. Other two spots are hard to call.

    Henderson

    Wan-Bissaka Bailly Maguire Telles
    Matic McTominay
    van de Beek ---- Sancho
    Elanga Greenwood
    ​
    Could be something like that with Amad an option off the bench.
     
    Was hoping this was today. Kinda eager to see United again
     
    I think we'll start somewhat strong:

    Henderson
    Wan-Bissaka Bailly Lindelof Telles
    Van de Beek Matic
    Sancho Lingard
    Greenwood Rashford​

    Wouldn't even be surprised to see Ronaldo start, but I'd prefer this with Elanga, Amad, Mata etc to come off the bench. Also hoping Shaw is fit to play.

    Sancho needs a rest and Rashford has had a chance to show what he is about, I'd replace with Amad in the #10 and Elanga up top or vice versa. I want Mengi to come on late and get some minutes too, don't see the point in bringing on Mata, RR is very focused on the future and introducing those young players in the CL will really promote meritocracy and provide everyone with a feeling that they could earn the place which will push everyone's level.
     
    I'd like to see Amad and Elanga getting some minutes.

    Some of the lads who will play tonight will have had that extra days training with Ralf, not that it's going to make much of a difference but hopefully they can display something similar to what we saw from the starting 11 on Sunday (ie an understanding of the system/shape and intention to press etc.)

    We are going to need the strength in depth of this squad to transition to Ralfs style over the course of the season.
     


    Matic to captain the side, so presumably neither Maguire nor Bruno start.

    This is a pretty realistic expected lineup.

    He should give Rashford a rest for the weekend and put Elanga in there but clearly Rashford is struggling with his form....Sancho should be rested as well for Mata
     
    Henderson

    Wan-Bissaka
    Telles
    Bailly
    Lindelof

    Matic
    Van de Beek

    Mata
    Lingard

    Greenwood
    Elanga
     
    Henderson
    AWB Bailly Lindelof Shaw/Telles
    VdB Matic
    Amad/Mata Lingard
    Greenwood Elanga
    ​
    Amad and Shaw the only question marks, think the other 9 are locked in now.
     
    Finally a game we can sit back and watch for fun. Not biting our fecking nails as Lindelof walks back their best striker into the box for a cross or shot.
     
    @Niall Hate to nitpick but can we get an updated image for the Lineup Predictions widget on the main page. Ole pointing is grating on my nerves for some reason.

    Full training on Monday, at the earliest. That rules out Brentford as well, maybe also Brighton.
     
    Henderson

    AWB
    Bailly
    Mengi/Lindelof
    Telles

    Matic
    VdB

    Amad
    Lingard

    Greenwood
    Elanga

    -----------------

    Would love to see Mengi get a start but I suspect it will be Lindelof.
