Good decision to have Fellaini screening the defence, I think he is going to have a good game.

Who said he will screen the defense? He usually plays further up the pitch.

Shame we dont have better back up midfielders

What i'm concerned with; however, is that Mourinho said we had no injuries, which begs the question as to why Martial and Rojo are not in the squad.

Just realised there was no Rojo either. The next cup game is 4 days away, so maybe he's 'resting' them for that?

You'd of thought Mata would be the one further up the pitch?

Expected Smalling to come in sooner or later.

You know he isnt injured?

Many will accept that Fellaini does a good job in the final third for us but screening the defence? Poor decision, he's been very bad there, that's where his worst games have come.

NYAS · Jan 21, 2017

I can already hear Martial's agent clearing his throat..

Mourinho said yesterday we have no injury problems.

AltiUn · Jan 21, 2017

May as well just sell Shaw/Martial now, obviously doesn't really fancy them.

Devil may care · Jan 21, 2017

The lump of shit in midfield and no Martial even in the squad is disappointing.

Yeah they'll probably play against Hull.

Burrow · Jan 21, 2017

According to BBC, Mou said that there was a few players with 'small problems', which is probably why Martial and Rojo is out.

Raw · Jan 21, 2017

I hope that's Herrera at DM and not Fellaini.

red4ever 79 · Jan 21, 2017

what an absolutely w@nk team again

AltiUn · Jan 21, 2017

Draw as well I think today, never seems to be enough pace in the team with Mata playing off Ibrahimovic sadly.

Matta will be on the wing.

Martial played against Liverpool. So how did you reach that conclusion.

Sparky10Legend · Jan 21, 2017

Martial has been shit this year, generally, fact of the matter is he's having a poor year. Should be on the bench mind.

Where is Martial?

Jose said there were a couple of little problems when talking about injuries, so Rojo and Martial could be them.

It's more likely;

----------Herrera
----- Fellaini --- Pogba
Mata ----- Ibra ---- Mkhitaryan

Well maybe if Carrick didn't shit himself last week the "lump of shit" wouldn't be starting

Just read on MEN that Mourinho said we have 'little problems'. Guessing he meant Rojo and Martial picked up knocks or could be ill. Can't imagine it's anything serious.

Every time he seems to have a bad half he's dropped the next game.

Most likely be Pogz and Fellaz ahead of Herrera.

That's what I mean, I think Mata is very good but not sure we utilize his abilities properly when we play him out wide.

Garethw · Jan 21, 2017

Jesus people. It's obvious that Martial has picked up a slight knock or is unwell.

Unless he's told Mourinho to suck his French dick or something, there's no way he'd have been completely excluded from the squad.

peridigm · Jan 21, 2017

If Smalling keeps his head out of his ass we have a chance. Rest of team looks fine.

Ban · Jan 21, 2017

Small problems, game in 4 days but that wont stop people crying and saying Mou doesnt fancy Martial...

He was one of the brightest players against Middlesbrough and Reading. Didn't have the best of games against Liverpool but was still positive despite being triple marked.

Android1974 · Jan 21, 2017

Has to... Although with the long balls to Crouch it could make sense otherwise too.

King.of.Red · Jan 21, 2017

wow.. no martial and rojo. well, hopefully Smalling has a good game and later we can play Rashford

That could be Jose giving him the 'grow up' treatment. He clearly fancies martial or else he would have been giving more chances to Depay (who is now gone). Plus, Mata deserves to start. Perhaps, Martial will start against Hull. (Again, that's a bigger game than today in the current context)

Raw · Jan 21, 2017

Mourinho confirms that Rojo is ill. No idea on Martial though.

MounchesterUtd · Jan 21, 2017

Rojo apparently ill. What the feck's up with Martial now?

What treatment?

We have lots of quality in his position and his performances have hardly made him undroppable have they.

I hope you're right, honestly.

Shark · Jan 21, 2017

Martial not even on the bench. Worrying.

Ixion · Jan 21, 2017

Oh good, Fellaini.

dove · Jan 21, 2017

Chill people. Martial and Rojo would certainly be at least on the bench if they were fit and ready to play. It's obvious they have some minor issues.

Maybe i'm thinking it wrong. But say Martial and Rojo have knocks that are making miss this game but are back next week, is that an "injury problem"?
