    Got to say that line up looks like a managers pick when he already knows he's getting the sack. Will be amazed if we get owt owt of this game but if we do then I'll gladly submit to Ten Haags superior knowledge and back him to the hilt.....or relegation, whatever comes first.
     
    Talk of the devils podcast who are the most reliable United journalists have already said the outcome of this match is unlikely to see Ten Hag sacked

    In the other games where Zirkzee started, our pressing was effective—perhaps not at Mount's level, but it was decent. However, against Tottenham, we surrendered control and hardly pressed them at all. Based on today's lineup, it seems like thats the plan again.

    I somehow don't feel starting Garnacho is a good idea. Especially not with that front three. If you want Garnacho and Rashford both in the lineup, Zirkzee is better suited. Love to be proven wrong though.

    I don't really see adequate pressing from Zirkzee, he's not quick enough or mobile enough. As usual I'd have gone with Amad and Garnacho, I know Rashford has been finding his feet in the final third, but his off the ball work is non-existent. And I'd have dropped Bruno too because he's been poor all season. I'd also not go with a midfield that lacks any sort of defensive ability. And of course the centre back pairing is concerning, though both de Ligt and Martinez are in poor form (Martinez all season).

    I'd have liked to see something like:

    -----------------------Onana
    Mazraoui----de Ligt---Maguire----Dalot
    -----Casemiro---Ugarte---Mainoo
    Amad-----------------------------Garnacho
    -----------------Hojlund

    With Dalot not tucking into midfield, but staying wide as an outlet and support to Garnacho.
     
    He's already decided who his subs will be today, when they'll come on and who they'll replace. What unfolds now, how those on the pitch play, what we need tactically, are all irrelevant
     
    I predict Aston Villa winning 3-1. Let's see if this squad has any pride wearing this shirt.
     
    This better be happy last day of ETH in charge day.

    If it's not then it's the day we officially give up on this season.

    Doesn't matter the result we know it can't work with him.

    The ideal scenario is we win today and fire him tomorrow. If winning today saves his job then it's a disgrace
     
    This is neither defensive nor attacking line up. Would be interesting to see the "tactics"

    The result will be whatever will bring with it the most drama and squabbling amongst fans, because nothing is straightforward with us. 3-0 Maguire hattrick

    Ha. Or a 2-2 after Villa lead 2-1 and get a man sent off with 40 minutes to go and we get an equaliser in the last 4 minutes and Ten Hag celebrates like Moyes that time we got a draw at home.

    Maybe if it's a close loss but a battering he's gone the pressure would be immense.

    Every single summer signing except Mazroui dropped. The one good signing we did have under ETH also dropped because injuries have ruined him. It's comical how much of a farce we are now.

    Maz has been the only good summer signing.
     
    Is it just me or are these kits really annoying? Our white shirt with their white shorts makes it hard to watch
     
    I've seen Sunday League teams better at pressing than United. It honestly is dreadful.

    Is it actually white?

    Or off-white or some shit?

    Adidas' jerseys for us have been utter dogshit.
     
    Why do we keep whacking the ball hard and angrily? Passhun is fine but maybe you can keep calm ans find a team mate?
