I thought we had won the group but, then can't remember what article I read something about needing a point. If we are level with Villareal, it's head to head tie breaker first ?
Yep.Henderson
Dalot Bailly Lindelof Telles
Fred Matic
DvB
Amad Greenwood ElangaAfter RR's presser I'm guessing Maguire and Bruno wont be playing as apparently Matic will be Captain, and he's confirmed Van de Beek and Henderson will start, so new prediction.
As much as we complain about some of these players, what a quality second XI (bar Fred) we have!After RR's presser I'm guessing Maguire and Bruno wont be playing as apparently Matic will be Captain, and he's confirmed Van de Beek and Henderson will start, so new prediction.
This but I'd rest Fred for Norwich and play McTominay, and put Wan Bissaka at RB as I think Dalot will start vs Norwich after being solid last few games.After RR's presser I'm guessing Maguire and Bruno wont be playing as apparently Matic will be Captain, and he's confirmed Van de Beek and Henderson will start, so new prediction.
Henderson
AWB--Bailly--Lindelof--Telles
McTominay--Matic
VdB--Lingard
Greenwood--Elanga
Subs: de Gea, Heaton; Dalot, Maguire, Shaw; Fred, Fernandes, Mata; Diallo, Sancho, Rashford
If Lingard isn't fit enough then I'd start Amad in that positionIf it is the kids, they aren’t being given the weather to showcase themselves. Biblical rain already locally and not expected to shift all day!Telles played 4 games in the last 2 weeks, I think he should be rested if Shaw is fit, and if AWB is fit, then he should play too, so Dalot can rest.
Telles & Dalot should retain their starting spot vs Norwich in the league, hence why I am guessing Shaw & AWB to start tonight
My predictions are: -
Henderson
AWB Bailly Lindelof Shaw
Mctominay Matic
Lingard VdB
Elanga Greenwood
Hoping to see Amad given chance.Who would've thought this would be a dead rubber in our favor after such a calamitous start in the group stage?
Ready to see some wholesale changes and I hope other youngsters like Diallo get a run out.Henderson
Awb
Bailly
Mengi
Telles
Matic
Vdb
Amad
Lingard
Elanga
GreenwoodThey probably won't be able to start but hoping Cavani and Shaw get some minutes.
Henderson
AWB, Bailly, CB?, Telles
Matic, VdB
Amad, Lingard
Greenwood, Elanga
Bah! If they are too soft to cope with the Manchester climate there’s no hope for themLooking at some of the embargoed comments, it seems that a second XI plays to get used to Rangnick's football and get us ahead in the match, before a number of the kids will be given a chance second half.
Yeah, I was watching Stretford Paddock last night and they seemed to be suggesting this. Should be interesting.I think it's far giving most of the squad playing time to get used to Rangnick's playing style, but I will be disappointed if Mata starts. Absolutely pointless. Play Amad instead.Greenwood- Elanga
Mata-Lingard
Matic-Donny
Shaw-Bailly-Lindelof-AWB
Henderson
Bit worried about the legs in that middle square with Mata, Matic and Donny not the most energetic. Perhaps a solution would be to have Mata push up and one of Elanga or Greenwood drop into the space from time to time. Allows them to dribble and play one twos with Mata.
Looking forward to this game!What's this about the lineup being leaked?
EDIT: nevermind - I got caught out by Howson's click-baity video title.
It hasn't? Just Rangnick has provided enough hints for most people to figure out the likely XI. Final clue will be the UEFA Youth League squad announced this afternoon.
I think you’ve got it right. I’d imagine a raft of changes at half time as well.Paddy hasn't leaked the team yet with his sauces inside the club
Maybe the club has sniffed out the wrong-un and sacked them. Hopefully because it gives the opposition an unfair advantage.
We've been over this so many times now. He only ever leaks the team after teamsheets have been submitted, so it is more than likely someone with just media privileges not respecting the embargo.
Like he did in his first ever game for Birmingham. Nice.
Basically Ronaldo refused to play EL, took us ahead vs Villarreal, last minute equaliser Atalanta (and other goal), late winner vs Atalanta, last minute winner Villarreal...
They are out so I think it'll be a nice game for our second string, I'd love to see some of the youth guys come on as well.
I think that will be the team. Mata and Amad should get some time coming off the bench.Zero point playing Mata, but he will start.
Surprised at those they have put into the squad.. Hardley Savage and Mather, seem really left field.
Greenwood Elanga and Amad should all startI would love Robbie to be the co-commentator and Charlie to get his debut.
It would be a nice moment for sure.Potential alternatives:
Thanks!
Who were you expecting for them to put in over them?
Hardley has been as good as Mengi if not better this season. They are also the only two u23s CBs anyway.
Savage started the season in great form before his injury. The only other option for CM is Svidersky and Savage has been easily better this season.
Mather has already been in the u23s plenty and clearly rated as the top 1st at the club along with Mainoo so not surprising either.Super pumped for the game today. Finally a game we can go into with a bit of wind in our sails.
I keep hearing mention of the weather. What is the forecast for todays game? I might need to lower my score prediction.
Even by Manchester standards it's been incredibly wet and windy for the last 4 or 5 days.
Pretty miserable conditions.According to the Athletic, both Zidane and Savage are expected to be on the bench.
Think he did co-comms for our two other CL home games this season. So decent chances he's in the gantry.
A bit rainy here today as well and the wife put a stew on this morning, so its a perfect night for a United victory.- Status
