    Team picked itself really.

    Hopefully we a similar performance to the one against Burnley. We cant afford to drop further behind.

    Liverpool got an easy ride through tottenham. Man City as well. I think all the leading teams bar Spurs won. This is looking more and more like a must win game.

    Must win games tend to be screw jobs and United tend not to do well after internationals ..... sigh .... Just keep hoping I guess ....

    Every single match is a must win, today is no different.
     
    We need more width. Without Shaw it's going to be a problem on the left because Alexis and Young both want to cut inside.
     
    7/11. Not great.

    It's a shame to see Pereira being left out of the squad again.

    Can't blame them. None of our rivals dropping points and even Arsenal getting the job done. No excuses today, better put that "new pretty football" to work and get us the 3 points.

    Yup. Although It will hardly be a huge surprise if United end up losing after being outfought
    You can still be sensible though.
     
    Happy with the starting line-up bar Victor L. He may struggle today with the physicality and would have preferred Bailly. If Jose does not trust him yet after that awful Brighton performance, then I'd drop Matic to the defence and replace him with Fred or Mctom.

    Afraid my heart sank at seeing Mata and Darmian on the bench, I just do not see a role for them at any point of this match, nor perhaps for United this season.

    Happy with the formation though. It snuffed Burnley out the game and gave our attack plenty of freedom. Should work well today.
     
    Suppose that team selection was obvious, i was hoping Shaw would be back but better safe than sorry. What are people's thoughts on Lingard and his constant inclusion in the squad? Personally i an not a fan but I guess the inconsistent martial is not any better. .

    I don't feel too positive about this game, I'm going for 2 2.
     
    10/11 Thought Fred would get a start, but Jose as gone with old reliable.

    I think with the present tactics Lingard is probably see as the second most important player in the team, after Fellaini. Without him we'd be very static.

    I must sharpen up. Too much focus on fantasy football.

    37 points from 4 games isn't great. Following that fella's starting XI predictions in the match thread Live Updates for the first four games would have given you:

    v Leicester - 11/11 (14 pts)
    v Brighton - 10/11 (10 pts) - damn Martial over Rashford
    v Spurs - 10/11 (10 pts) - Herrera over Sanchez
    v Burnley - 9/11 (9 pts) - Lindelof and Fellaini over Bailly and Fred

    and he got 11/11 (14 pts) for today as well. Some say he was ranked 2nd out of 1030 predictions before today.
     
    Got 11/11

    This is our fight club 11, if Jones was fit he would in for Lindelof.
     
    I would have preferred Bailley to Lindelof. I think the latter could be in trouble against Deeney. Furthermore why not play Martial who's insanely talented instead of hard working man Messe Lingard?

    Anyway, hoping for a win.
