    Physically the most pathetic squad in football. Weak, slow, injured or ill.

    Can someone tell me why Mainoo came off last week when we had a week break and today we’re playing Wigan and any reserve player could play instead?

    It was a Tactical decision like ETH explained ?
     
    People annoyed at McTominay featuring - have you seen the bench? We seem to have about 10 senior players available, so of course he's featuring when he's one of them. The squad is down to it's bare bones, ETH is in no position to jettison McTominay right now just because, long term, he probably should be upgraded.
     
    Unavailable United players vs Wigan

    Victor Lindelof
    Harry Maguire
    Lisandro Martinez
    Tyrell Malacia
    Luke Shaw
    Sofyan Amrabat
    Mason Mount
    Christian Eriksen
    Amad
    Casemiro
    Anthony Martial
    Antony
    Jadon Sancho
     
    injury and illness culture has set into this squad. Im not saying every injury isnt real, obviously some are easily detectable and have to be managed, but its not plausible that this level of 'illness' and injury occurs in a sample of incredibly healthy young men.

    People just don't understand. Ignore those moaning people.

    No Amad, Mctominay starts yet again, Bruno Fernandes. That's my cue. Off to bed.

    Pretty shocked at no amad or Kambwala not starting. I'm sure we don't need to start Evans against Wigan.
     
    So many fragile players in this squad. If the wind blows, you got 4 new ACL injuries, 3 back injuries, 4 hamstrings and one broken hair.
     
    When Jonny Evans asked to come up to carrington just to get his fitness back, I wonder if he thought he’d end up playing 20+ games and basically being our most reliable defender.
     
    Cringed slightly when I saw Onana's picture as I thought surely Bayindir deserves a go in a Cup game no less. And then recoiled when I saw McT. But that makes sense looking at our bench.
     
    Raging no Amad and yet another game with injuries and illnesses. It makes no sense how we have multiple Ill players every week.
     
    Would have seemed like a good game to get Bayindir up to speed, seems daft not to start him

    He should’ve played in the league cup. Ten Hag seems to play his best 11 no matter what
     
    It'll be interesting to see the same front three that did well against Villa. It'll be a different type of game for them today, as you'd expect Wigan to play with quite a low block.

    Hopefully, we'll see Garnacho on the right again. That way, he can get some crosses in for Hojlund.
     
    Its a strong starting 11. pointless moaning if players are not fit.
    im guessing there's a few fell to illness, viruses are rife in Manchester. Sky sports report erikson is ill.
     
    We've not played in what 9-10 days?
    How do we have even more fckin injuries - there's never been a season like this. Farcical
     
    I thought some of the injured players would be back! Is Mount still injured?
     
    Glad Eriksen is rested. With Casemiro out, Mainoo and Eriksen are the only proper midfielders we have. Need to wrap Eriksen in cotton wool. Never happy to see walkabout Scott starting but it’s only Wigan. Surely…..

    At least it’s our best front three. Garnacho right, Rashford left, Walmart Haaland up front. Hopefully he can bag a goal or two and get the feeling of scoring more regularly.
