    Anybody knows what exactly happened to Martial and Greenwood? They are our biggest attacking threat, Rashford only close third. Why are both not even in subs?

    I am assuming Cavani is not in form yet...

    Cavani is still in quarantine

    I like Bruno and am as disappointed at anyone with the shit show we had in the window but who gives a feck whether Bruno is pissed off or not? Man United aren’t there to satisfy Bruno Fernandes. It’s the other way round.

    I think it’s all BS, but if it is not, you are right. No one is bigger than the club, let alone someone whose been here 10 months.
     
    That team is fecking awful. Van der Beek must be questioning his decision every day.

    Whats up with Greenwood?
     
    I hope Ole has something up his sleeve with that lineup as it's going to be impossible to defend him if we lose this game.

    Alright, I won’t be posting from that Norwegian source again...

    ... but dear God, Rashford up front, Mata back on the right and Dan fecking James as an inside left could get ugly. Let’s forget about Maguire for one minute.

    As opposed to Lingard and Rashford upfront?
     
    For all the complaints I don't think putting VdB in for James or McTominay would make the team a vastly different proposition. Pogba is rightly dropped.
     
    I wish the leaked line-up had been true. This is horrid. After all that money spent it's actually funny though.
     
    Surely with better attackers out, its more of a reason to play an extra midfielder than persist with the same failing system?
     
    Wow we might actually lose again. Spineless not to drop Maguire. Greenwood who the feck knows why he isn't in the squad. What the feck does VDB need to do to get a league start?
     
    Ole possibly has the CL game in the midweek in mind.... possibly the reason why both Pogba and VDB are on the bench.
     
    I'm just glad he dropped Pogba.

    Have a feeling this team will clear the very very low bar of putting in our best Prem performance of the season so far.
     
    Horrible team I can’t lie. I like that Scott, Fred and Bruno are back together though. VDB should be starting over James or Mata I think. Where is Greenwood?

    I hate this 4-2-3-1.
     
    The line-up is just bizarre, why not 3-5-2 so we could get some threat wide left with Telles and play Van de Beek in midfield with Fred so we have someone deeper who can pass through the lines. Dan James and Mata starting, Rashford as a #9 when he hasn’t got any hold-up play, some weird shit here.

    I'd much rather see VDB or Bruno starting from wide and floating - like Pep did with De Bruyne for long periods - than Dan James or even Mata.

    Solskjaer himself actually said recently that he could see VDB starting on the left.

    Pogba needs dropping and VDB is shagging Ole’s daughter.

    Why can't be mix it up a little? Always the same formation

    I wanted to see vdB but I'm happy to see Pogba dropped. We'd better have more authority in the middle of that park now, if we're still porous with both Scott and Fred in there I'll be mightily hacked off.

    We were very porous with them during the first two-thirds of last season.
     
    The Norway guy is a proven fraud and should be in the blacklist in the transfer tweets thread from now on. Just tried to predict the starting XI and was way off
