I thought about something meaningless and inspirational that I imagined Sean Bean said so now I'm up for it. I see Sky have the wee boy from Blue Peter hostingI agree with Mourinho in picking Lingard behind Ibra, I belive that´s his best postion rather than on the flanks and he is good at finding space and has good movement. I would be more worried about the left back in this game. Would you guy´s rather have Rooney in the Lingard position? The other option would be to play Mata behind Ibra and Rashford/Young on the right.Shaw instead of Rojo (most overrated player in here) and Rash instead of Lingard (underrated in here though). Otherwise perfect teamWhy did Jones not even make the squad? Is he injured or something? Would have preferred to see him partner Bailly and Mata to come off the bench, but this is still a pretty strong line-up. No Mhiki is obviously a huge blow. Hope Martial steps up.
Don't they both have their full names on the back of their shirts as well? Probably why.
Defensive stability first then the attackers to do their job, that's the way Jose plays it. None of this heavy metal football pretentiousness
One has 'Ander' and the other has 'Tosser.'Nice to get an early goal and then control the game, Southampton will grow into the game if we don't I feel.
That seemed to be the stock answer for about 2 years
Shaw was never, ever, starting in a final. He's not in the picture right now.
From the other three left backs, my preference would be Blind then Rojo then Darmian. I'm just happy it isn't Darmian really.Don't like Rojo at LB at all, but apart from that I like the lineup. Martial will be expected to do everything himself, wouldn't surprise me if they close him down easily, but we'll see.While I'm pleased Mourinho went for such an attacking lineup part of me still panics when I see Rojo at LB. Call it a hangover from the Van Gaal era. Also a bit worried about the midfield two potentially leaving us exposed at the back. I keep picturing a couple of speedy Southampton counterattacks forcing the likes of Bailly, Mike and Rojo into making rash challenges.I'm not nervous! No. Not at all!
The same Shaw who couldn't even get minutes in a nothing game against St Etienne? I would have been shocked if he was even named on the bench
CheersAll you people moaning about the inclusion of Rojo at LB or Lingard's inclusion at all. Please try to remember … there's no Fellaini in the starting line-up
I think this will be a tough game because Soton are a good team and because we haven't quite been de-vangaalised just yet....but Red Katie I think you always say something like 'I'm worried about this' before every united match don't you? I thought it was one of your superstitions....
And no, I do have moments where I think we'll win by a comfortable margin.
Exactly...he's hardly figured at all the whole season...you couldn't just shove him on in a game like this.Beckham in the house
He’s at Wembley.
As omen's go … no-one should look how the first half of the England v Italy 6 Nations game has faired a bit further round the North Circular
Why are you assuming Lingard is on the right? He came on against Saint-Etienne and played in the middle."Darmian and Blind are playing the way I love my LB to play. Shaw needs to do harder.
Starts Marcus Rojo at LB.
Mourinho's logic.Apparantely no Man Utd manager has ever won a major trophy in his first season. Jose, it's on you now!Not watched much of Soton, how's Hojbjerg been?Happy that Mata and Martial are both starting. Not so sure about Lingard, personally would have gone with Rooney.
I think this will be an easy win. 3-0 or 3-1Saints will be up for this .But i feel so will we . 0-2
What makes you think Jose will go there and make it open for Soton to counter attack?
He wants to win this first and foremost , making it pretty won't be his agenda.
I went to 2 finals (spurs and Villa) neither were exciting really
Exactly.United! United! United! Mon' lads do the fecking business!Please let their keeper have a stinker.Good call from Mourinho to play it safe with Rojo at LB. Actually had this back four in predictions both last game and this one.Redknapp trying to do analysis is like watching my mum trying to send a picture via whatsapp. Just aimlessly bashing at the screen, while becoming increasingly frantic and flustered.Beckham in the house
He’s at Wembley.
Not that song again , blaring over the tannoy
This is just the EFL Final too. To think in 2008 we were 90 minutes away from a Utd v Liverpool Champions League final. Thankfully Chelsea beat them.
Given his fantastic contribution so far this season, he 'deserves' to play in the final as much as anyone. Very happy for him.Southampton have beaten Arsenal and Liverpool on their way to the final. No-one has really talked them up during the build up. They have a solid, underrated team with a striker in very good form. They also have nothing to lose. If we are going to win the cup then we will have to be at our absolute best. Mkhi not being available is a big blow, it'll give them some extra impetus no doubt.Jesse Lindegaard.Disappointed with no Carrick. Rojo deserves to play this, but I'm concerned at him being left back. Not sure why Lingard is in there either.- Status
