Btw is this a new thing? our lineups used to come out 1 hr before our games. Now they come out about 1 hr 15 mins before?

Always do for UEFA comps.

So it’s confirmed. Maguire is 4th choice CB. I like ETH.

Hugh Jass · Nov 3, 2022

Our standards and expectations have been lowered to somewhere between Tottenham and West Ham if this is a 'huge' game.

Huge game in the sense that it makes life easier for us next year and gives us a better chance of silverware. Not huge game as in opponent :lol:

Shaw and Dalot will earn their supper here. Minimal width elsewhere.

Not sure of your logic given the Rashford resting. We will see at the weekend.

I see what you did there.

Pretty logical considering what reason does Maguire need to be rested? He’s played one game. Rashford has played virtually every game recently. Pretty logical.

Was checking that. Not even in the squad. Didn’t travel I think.

Andre Kagawa · Nov 3, 2022

The leaks were right also, bit worrying. Thought we got rid of that with Lingard.

Pexbo · Nov 3, 2022

Is there any precedence for a manager choosing to start with just 10 players and a full subs bench?

Idxomer · Nov 3, 2022

Another formation/lineup to accommodate Ronaldo.

Hopefully, it pays off this time.

Think ETH rates Bruno's delivery from the right hand side. Surprised no Rashford.

Not the worst team if he's thinking RS will sit deep. Lots of players who can create in there (few who can reliably finish).

Bastian · Nov 3, 2022

I'm pleasantly surprised to see ETH pick Lindelof over Maguire. Absolutely the right call. I expected Donny to feature given the players missing, but I think he'll play as a bit of a mezzala on the right, with Bruno at #10. ETH said of Donny a while ago that he smells the right positions, and often finds himself in the box at the right time.

A huge call to give Garnacho a start here and I hope he shows courage.

Rashford surely is carrying a knock.

As before, let's hope Ronaldo manages at least a 6.5/10 performance. Not counting on it.

Wasn’t Lingard.

We're wearing that horrible yellow kit

That kit is associated with the Brentford humiliation.

I think the last time we wore it was against Southampton away.

Um, it's green?

Anyway, interesting lineup. No Maguire and Elanga so yeah, I'm on board with that.

Which suggests the physics feel he doesn’t need a rest. McFred on the bench.

Tony247 · Nov 3, 2022

VdB false 9? Interesting.

No Maguire yeyy!

Chief123 · Nov 3, 2022

Borys said:

Even more so Dalot! He’s surely played the most minutes of any outfield player in the premier league this season including Europe.

Hoping he doesn’t get much game time at the World Cup.

Ronaldo is up front.

Chief123 · Nov 3, 2022

It could be a diamond with Garnacho plahing off Ronaldo.

Maybe based on the setup Sociedad normally have. Not sure what they normally play.

Josh 76 · Nov 3, 2022

Would be nice to see a forward line of
Rashford, Martial, Antony against Villa on Sunday. Fully rested and raring to go!

El Zoido · Nov 3, 2022

Rashford is going to be used as an impact sub.

Lindelof is preferred over Maguire.

Bastian · Nov 3, 2022

Silva and Oyarzabal out for them is an absolute treat.

Chief123 · Nov 3, 2022

Am I shit can for not knowing who the feck one of our sub keepers is?! Radek Vitek

I think Donny is the one playing off Ronaldo which might be the help he needs.

always_hoping · Nov 3, 2022

A few surprises in that starting line up. Option B on the bench if plan A doesn't go to plan?

CloneMC16 · Nov 3, 2022

Dalot and Bruno start again. These lads need a break. Bruno can't play at the weekend, but Dalot will probably start that game as well.

diarm · Nov 3, 2022

Lining up with 3 no10's is a bold strategy.

mitchmouse · Nov 3, 2022

really pleased to see Garnacho getting a start - they won't know much about him and hopefully he can get behind their defence and he seems to have a bit of pace. I have no trouble with ronaldo starting given his record against them.

My guess is this will be the last-chance saloon for Donny: I'd really love him to shine. I can't believe there isn't a good player in there desperate to get out

With Ajax, Leverkusen, Farcelona, Sporting, Salzburg, Shakhtar, Sevilla and Juve dropping into Europa, it becomes all the more important to get that 2-1 win. Common United!

Don't United need to win by a 2 goal margin?

I think Dalot is one of those who needs to play. Any break seems to affect his momentum

Yes. It has to be 2 clear goals.
