Delaney says Romero & Rooney start + Tuanzebe in midfield again (which I'm not sure what to think of).

This place really is dead, 2 hours before kick off and there's literally no interest.
Except for the continuation of the Tuanzebe midfield experience, it shouldn't really surprise.
Does this mean no Herrera, because I'm certain Fellani will start as he's back from his ban.
Don't think he wanted to really bring Herrera on at the weekend, but we were so bad he had to.Too late to predict so I'll go with this:
Romero
Valencia Smalling Blind Darmian
Fellaini
Pogba Herrera
Mata Rashford Martial
Lingard, Mkhitaryan, Carrick
Pogba? Did he travel?I predict a match-day thread with less anger and name calling
The manager is not even bothered, so no surprise there.It may not mean much but two wins in our next two would give us the highest point total since Fergie retired. Would be nice considering the awful league campaign we've had.
Surely he is good enough to play in a more natural position in a "meaningless" game. There is no need to put the kid through some unnecessary pressure.18:38

6:45 PM - 17 May 2017This day will go down in history as the day Marouanzebe was born. <3Fellaini Tuanzebe midfield, absolutely not watching this
.
It's fine though, we should rest whoever, I do not care about this match.That midfield10/11 for me.Switched in Mitchell at the expense of darmian in my line up prediction due to the notification from the caf, bah!Oh dear!Good to see. Play Herrera and Rashford 30 mins and then rest them on sunday and they are ready for the final.Looks like 4-2-3-1 with poor Tuanzebe being asked to play in midfield alongside the tree. I thought Rashford would play.Midfield looks pretty useless. Gonna be one of those games where we pass to the attackers, avoid Rooney and just hope for the best.
That'll teach you. We've all done it.I think we have seen the last of De Gea in a United shirt.Tuanzebe in midfield again? I don't get it.Throw some more youngsters in fs18:48
Looks like 4-2-3-1 for United
Tuanzebe and Fellaini holding with Mata behind Rooney and Martial and Mkhitaryan on the flanks.
Scanning that side, five starters (Romero, Darmian, Jones or Smalling, Fellaini and Mkhitaryan) will probably line up in the final next week.
Mourinho knows that being in the Europa League, no matter how important it is to us now, is a knife in the back to challenging for the League. He's wanting to avoid that next season like nothing before. If we do indeed end up losing the final, then I fully expect him to seriously sacrifice Europa next season in a big way which is why I suspect he doesn't give a monkeys about these next two games and to be honest...nor should we.Tuanzebe in midfield, I'd guess.
-----------Romero
Bailly--Jones--Smalling--Darmian
------Tuanzebe--Fellaini
---Mata---Rooney---Mkhitaryan
------------MartialJones and Smalling starting together at CB again, I think Jose is testing them out after Blind's performance against Celta.Rooney hat trick, and a few assists!
And then he will sign new contract.No DeGea. Have we seen the last of him?So that's Lingard starting the final9/11, not bad. Was going to put Darmian in, but figured he'd be rested. Didn't think Mkhitaryan would play either, but he's been poor lately, so it makes sense to try and play him into form.
No qualms there but at least make it exciting to watch even if we will lose. It feels like we are being punished. Mitchell in the side would be something different too but hey!As long as Tuanzebe isn't man-marking someone.
Think he will play Sunday in what will be his final game.Sensible team....all considering.- Status
