    I'd like a quartet of Micki, Mata, Rashford and Mata to start. If they click, movement, pace and passing range would be well worth watching.
    Me too, be absolutely excellent on the counter too.
     
    No Mkhi

    This guy is injury prone as feck.

    May as well start the youngsters if we have no attacking options.
     
    Did we have to be televised? Or are these the only games today? We're on TV all the time according to opposing fans.

    In Sweden Chelsea fan club even started a Facebook group and went after the television companies. Bunch of moaners. TV will broadcast the games people want to see. If they broadcast Man Utd it's because people want to watch that. If they showed another game less people would watch and they would earn less. So it's easy to understand why. Opposition fans can just go feck themselves. No one cares what they think.
     
    Would love to see both the young lads start.

    But would be shocked if JM had the balls to
    It's not about being fearless. The managers are under intense pressure to produce results. He needs to trust players.
     
    Confirmed United team
    Mourinho has made SEVEN changes.

    The #MUFC team for #MIDMUN...

    Can't believe this 3 at the back is becoming a thing again
     
    At least it's with Bailly and Jones in there. Bailly isn't a bad passer and Jones likes to step up in midfield.
     
    3 at the back again ffs

    I like the formation, I think it is obvious that he knows our forwards are lacking so can't trust us to go out and blow the opposition away so he is opting for the tight 1-0 wins.

    Risky but I see the reasoning.
     
    3-5-2 with CB's that can't pass water agaisnt as team that will surrender posession is ridiculous, it's got draw written all over it.
     
    If you ever want to see how stupid some of our own supporters are just look at the twitter feed with the lineup announced, loads of them are asking where Ibra and Pogba are ffs, do you eve follow your own team?
     
    I was even more pessimistic in my prediction, thought Darmian would be in place of Young. A balanced team upfront, with a tired playmaker (Mata) and a more dynamic player (Lingard). Also, it confirms those comments about Martial being ‘out of [Mourinho's] mind’ had something to it, that the manager was clearly disappointed how Martial didn't feature in the Chelsea game.
     
    I'm not usually one to moan about lineups, but I was worried about this game before, and that team has not exactly lifted my spirits :lol::nervous:

    At least there's pace up front.
     
    Very very weak team today. The important thing is to get Mata to shine. He's the only star quality player in attack. Appart from him guys like Young, Valencia, Lingard and Rashford need to be extremely effective upfront. Carrick and Fellaini in defense, shit this is not starting out well. I'd expect Bailly and Jones to be mobile and aggressive high up the pitch and let Fellaini and Carrick shield.
