Greenwood's profile isn't listed on the team sheet thingamabob to the right

The point is about talent much rather than pace...which gets overblown (pace). Anyhow, today's front four will/should press the heck out of Wolves and make them lose possession or put their shape out of whack.

The original point was about our paciest team in years, which when you consider we regularly played Mata on the wing for years along with Matic & Lukaku up front.

When was the last time we played a team that all could run?

Tonight's team is a far cry from Mourinho's United which is what we have been used to seeing. Even LVG's & Moyes's teams were slow.

It's a bit strange for you to bring up Fergie's United which was 10 years ago now.

Besides Lingard, that team looks pretty decent. Atleast Lingard doesnt start on the right though.

Is anyone else only seeing 6 subs on the Caf? Makes it look so much worse than it is

@Niall needs to add Greenwood to the subs.

Yes.
No. It's Carragher and Neville.

Tibs · Aug 19, 2019

Happy with the team.

On paper its scary how shit we look bar Pog and the defence

MyOnlySolskjaer · Aug 19, 2019

Easy 11/11.

stu_1992 · Aug 19, 2019

Perreira is no loss anyway though I am surprised to see Daniel James in already (not that I'm not impressed with him). Thought Ole may go with someone like Mata to try to pick a pass and open thr game up. Gomes would have been great too but disappointingly not even on the bench. Shame.

roseguy64 · Aug 19, 2019

Got 10/11 for my XI. Had Pereira instead of James

So the panic over Gomes starts again.

I can slightly understand as this was a similar situation that year when pogba went to juve. Think posters are afraid that the same thing will happen again if we dont play Gomes.

TMDaines · Aug 19, 2019

An attacking line up that.

Seen Dalot is trending because he’s not in the squad. Of course he’s not: Young is a far more sensible sub to cover both full back slots with one player.

Gasolin · Aug 19, 2019

I wonder how we will play with James in a game where we think it will be compact. There are a lot of midfield in that Wolves team so how will we pass around them?

It's the wrong game for Gomes. Physically strong team, we already have young players in midfield

Is he? Why?

Stop it with the Gomes wankfest. Trust Ole to know his abilities better than yous.

Hmm.
So, Ole's faith in youth isn't extending whatsoever to possibly the most talented of the lot? Who also is out of contract in the summer?

This is boding exceptionally well, isn't it! Pogba mark 2, en route.

Delighted James is starting though, but maybe against a deeper defence it'll be a tough ask for him to make a huge difference.

2-2. Maguire and Rashy.

I'm annoyed, but its literally the 2nd game of the season. The meltdown simply isn't justified.

KennyBurner · Aug 19, 2019

What a way to destroy piereras confidence after he recorded an assist last week. I’d rather prefer Daniel James come on as a sub than start to be honest but let’s see.

2 man midfield · Aug 19, 2019

City vs Spurs was the first time City have conceded from open play since January 30th.

I refuse to believe that. That’s mental.

AaronRedDevil · Aug 19, 2019

City only conceded 1 open play goal since January. What the feck kind of sorcery is that.

I doubt he's that fragile, and if he was, it would be another reason why he won't make it here.

what a way to overreact

Any player whose confidence is destroyed by a tactical change shouldn't be at Man Utd...

Yeah it's on Sky, Mourinho is not on the panel though, Neville and Carragher the experts.

esmufc07 · Aug 19, 2019

Exciting team!

Dolf · Aug 19, 2019

Lingard? We need creativity, not running.
Happy with the rest.

Annihilate Now! · Aug 19, 2019

I predicted a 2-1 loss ('cos i'm a negative bastard) but feeling a bit more confident this today... no idea why, but yeah, hopefully we'll do them

Difficult to score when you're fouled before you can get near the box

Yeah me too. Great moment last week but I think Ole is really putting him in the spotlight when it’d probably be better to bed him in.

Jacob · Aug 19, 2019

First real test for Ole.

I agree with you, Plenty of time to play gomes through out the season especially in EL, he will get games. Posters just need to be patient and stop freaking out IMO

You're just bitter you got 10 out of 11

WR10 · Aug 19, 2019

It’s simple - we will not have the ball much. When we do it’ll be up to Pogba to decide if he wants us to win or not.

No matter how exciting our team is this year it’s absolutely unacceptable how reliant on Pogba we are

Devil may care · Aug 19, 2019

10/11 I thought James or Greenwood might start over Pereira but I went with an unchanged team.

Why do we only have 6 subs? Good to see Axel on the bench over Jones and Smalling but irritating to see Matic over Fred and Mata over Gomes.

Guiseppe Rossi left the club under similar circumstances if I recall.

But I'm sure Gomes will get games this year. It's not like he has much in front of him to prevent that.

Every team is reliant on their best players, that’s why you pay the money.

I like the team. Think we'll win this comfortably as long as we don't have a man sent off.

RedDevil-85 · Aug 19, 2019

Think it will be a struggle today.
Good line up although surprised to see James start.
Worried about our midfield

Anyway,hope we pull through and get the 3 points.
Our fixtures after this is Crystal Palace,Southampton,Leicester and West Ham i think, so a good chance to rack up the points and stay close to the top.
