I doubt we'll see any new players compared to last 2 games, definitely not Di Maria anyway. All depends if Rooney shows up or has his annual new year's hangover

Just for poops and giggles....
I bet LVG gives the most pointless presser again, Herrera wont start, Di Maria not back, Blind a month away, Rojo a month away and Falcao "has to learn the philosophy".
What else/ Luke Shaw and Rafael won't start, Smalling is not fit, Januzaj and Fellani still got the flu.
However good news, Valencia is fit
Oh my god I'm so sick and tired of this kind of stuff. Do you have some facts to prove this point or just writing for the sake of it.
Oh Rooney, never performs against Everton, never turns up against Liverpool, has his annual Christmas, Boxing day, New years day, Easter, Hanuka whatever hangover.
Really tiresome stuff... Rooney this Rooney that.
Rooney has been of of the best players this season and in form but people just love to have a pop at him, even making stuff up.....
Did LVG break into your house christmas day and take a dump on your turkey?Just for poops and giggles....

So our full backs are fit so in this game we will finally learn- will we stick with 352 through the rest of the season or 442.think we will win this comfortably....
Van Gaal nonchalantly gave OP the state as he broke through the front door, brought in a turkey sized turkey, and proceed to dig out a big pile of stuffing that are thrown towards OP's face.
Maybe he will now for New YearNewbssssssI wouldn't play Di Maria at all
coming back from injury+stoke's rough tactics against players that can dribble and make them look foolish..
They're a lot of fun..Arsenal are now three points behind. We need to stop drawing games we should be winning
They play Southampton too, which I can see Southampton getting something from. So even more reason for us to win this game.I predicted yet another United away win. Which is foolish really but at some point it's going to come true!
Wish I could share this view but we have mostly been average away from home. However, if we play like first half on sunday we'll win as I can't see us missing those chances again.De Gea
Rafael--Jones--Smalling--Shaw
Carrick
Herrera--Mata--Rooney--Young
van Persie
Herrera is fit or is that a hopeful inclusion?
Herrera is confirmed as being fit and has trained once, whether Louis feels that he is fit enough to be one of his merry band of philosophers...*shrug*
Shame we can't view the newbs
thats why I felt so. still we need put those chances away.
Me too.
Don't see the fuss.
Seems some are just begging for LVG to fail, if we win the opposition are shite or we were lucky, if we draw or lose, LVG got found out with his 352, 442, 433 or whatever other formation someone can dream up to show their great knowledge or his philosophy.This will be the one where Falcao nutmegs Shawcross and dinks Bergovic to score the second
He is a live wire in current form. Glad he is out. Think sparky will go for pace. OdeWingie, that guy that used to play for us and maybe Jon Walters.Just hope we have the stamina to keep piling the pressure away at Stoke, hoping for a consistent 90 minutes from United of attacking.Must win game as we need to start winning on the road.Lets start 2015 won a comfortable 2-0 win.Can we have our entire team to stay put at home and not move around much?
I dont know whether I should be happy or start praying when they say Herrera and Januzaj have started training..
I wouldn't have thought Herrera will start after one training session, might be on bench at a push. He might start against Yeovil.
Ask for it to enjoy your self.I just wonder if they have any potential Stambouli in Stoke. (a bit of pun)
Should be quite a numberWe will beat them because Merson predicted a draw.Louis Van Gaal Press Conference:
Of course, but it's not often we miss so many big chances. I'm just a bit doubtful if we can produce that kind of preformance for more than 45 minutes away from home yet...
I can only speak for myself as I'm certain that VG is the right man and will get us back top but our away form has been average so far. We'll get better it's just that I think we still have a few poor results away from home yet.Tough place to go but will always remember the 1-0 win back in 2008, Boxing day? Tevez with the late winner. Felt massive.
Let's kick off 2015 in style with a win.As ever, some insightful words from every football guys favourite football guy.

"it drives me up the wall when managers come to this country and moan about what we do. You know what you’re buying into. This is the Premier League. Don’t come over here and try to change our history."
The man is a miracle.If we win at Stoke, I'll feel so much more confident about our away matches.last night i went to sleep at 3 am so i've set the clock to 9:15 to watch the game
