Yeah, I knew he'd rest players but my thoughts were more along the lines of:

- Memphis, Schneiderlin, Herrera, Mata and Fosu-Mensah/Borthwick-Jackson/Darmian play.
- Carrick, Rashford, Lingard, Rojo drop to the bench, Fellaini suspended.

Seemed more logical. A stronger starting line-up, and bench, but also rotates 4-5 players who have played a lot.

How long did Januzaj play last night for the
U-21's?

Rested apparently why he wasn't in the squad though is very odd. Yes rest him on the bench but to leave him at home is taking a big risk.

Thank you. This just gets better and better doesn't it! What an incompetent old fool our manager is.

Martial injured, Rooney up front :lol:

JakeC · May 7, 2016

Jesus the media Fecking hate LVG. This was very unlucky, Memphis Rooney, and Mata are great players.

NJM78 · May 7, 2016

I hope Martial is not going to miss the rest of season.

Man-United · May 7, 2016

Finally Rashford is rested. Good decision. Can't play every game.

amolbhatia50k · May 7, 2016

Come on Memphis. Needs to show his quality today.

You not watched us this season then?

DomesticTadpole · May 7, 2016

So of course our options for the bench are one short now as well.

Zoo · May 7, 2016

Looking at the subs bench at least we're likely to see Januzaj today.

What a depressing end to the season it might be. We're poor to watch as it is.

JakeC · May 7, 2016

We have no idea why today was chosen for a rest day, they may not have been fully fit so people need to cop on and stop looking for excuses to berate LVG.

Riz · May 7, 2016

Rooney up front then with Herrera in midfield?

Well that changes things. With Martial out, I don't know who can score a goal for us.

I want us to play horny football today.

No. Herrera up front with Rooney in midfield.

Devil may care · May 7, 2016

Not putting Rashford on the bench is stupid and has now come back to haunt us with captain slow arse up front.

Adisa · May 7, 2016

Luis Van Gaal is cursed.

JakeC · May 7, 2016

Carly Baker is amazing

Man-United · May 7, 2016

Why has Borthwick been out for this long? Might be too late to see him in the Cup Final.

NJM78 · May 7, 2016

We need him for the cup final at least. Maybe just a slight pull and will be ok for West Ham.... Positive thoughts for once this season.

Woodzy · May 7, 2016

Knowing our fearless leader he will stick Herrera up front, and his excuse will be 'we have trained with these positions all week'.

You can see balls coming in that Rashford or Martial would get on the end of, yet Rooney won't get anywhere near.

Walters_19_MuFc · May 7, 2016

I dont care how we play today, I just hope we get a win. Also hope Martial is back for West Ham on Tuesday.

Truedevil · May 7, 2016

Well there goes our only spark. Memphis got to step up today or else we are not winning this.

To be fair to Rooney, although you're right that he lacks mobility and physicality, he can still finish. And in a one-off if we create chances, hopefully he puts them away.

Rooney was a great player five years ago, Mata is good player that is wasted out on the right wing and Memphis has a lot to prove in this league. I hope we pull off a win today, but you have more confidence than I do.

Can't see us risking him for a mid week game with the final being next weekend. Big blow.

DomesticTadpole · May 7, 2016

Martial OUT
Confirmed now that Martial injured in the warm up and won’t play. Last time that happened United beat Midtjylland 5-1 (with Rashford).

Or Rooney RB, Herrera CB, Smalling CM and Blind CF.

You never know with Van Gaal

All the pressing and movement up top will be gone, it will be back to same rigid shit we played before Rashford.

Drifter · May 7, 2016

So Hargreaves believes that Spurs would be a likelier destination than United for players.

David Court · May 7, 2016

Paul Scholes somewhat less than enthusiastic about the team choices of LVG

Man-United · May 7, 2016

More likely Lingard up front.

Kevin · May 7, 2016

No Martial means no party.

Vooon · May 7, 2016

Marcos "expert at marking" Rojo as a CB's going to be interesting.
