Hojlund, Garnacho, Rashford up front

 

[ThanksBoss26]

I disagree, the new signings are no worse than the rubbish served up by the ones now replacing them. He’s just going to keep switching between them all until he lands on something that works.

I'm at the point where I'm prepared to judge the new signings under someone else within reason timewise. I'm not sure anyone will good for a sustained period of time in the current tactical set-up.

 

[Sanchez7]

Manchester United Team vs Aston Villa: Onana, Mazraoui, Maguire, Evans, Dalot, Mainoo, Eriksen, Garnacho, Fernandes, Rashford, Hojlund

Both Center backs dropped.

 

[Ollie Derbyshire]

Are people back to pretending Maguire is good because De Ligt has been poor?

Wait for Maguire to have a calamity today if he starts then they’ll want Lindelof to be given another go. It’s the classic short term memory affect.

 

[DJ_21]

Great defence. All that money spend and we’re still lining up with Evans and Maguire. Comical

Its very simple - If you want Manchester United to lose then your not a Manchester United supporter.

Agreed. Those "supporters" need to take up another hobby. I get that plenty don't like ETH and I'm no big fan of his or some of the other managers Ed Woodward appointed in the last decade but as bad as things got I never hoped or was happy to see United beaten

That cnut needs sacked for this alone. I don’t care if we win, you can’t spend all the money and bench nearly all of your signings.

 

[NLunited]

Aston Villa XI: Martinez; Cash, Konsa, Torres, Digne; Tielemans, Philogene, Rogers, Ramsey, Bailey; Watkins.

Man Utd XI: Onana; Mazraoui, Evans, Maguire, Dalot; Mainoo, Eriksen; Garnacho, Fernandes, Rashford; Hojlund.

And no ball winner in midfield - what could go wrong?

Teams like Juventus and Bayern got rid of him - that means something

 

[D. Grayson]

Eriksen keeps starting because the team can't pass a ball more than five yards without him on the pitch.

This.

 

[wolvored]

This has got another 3-0 loss all over it

 

[sullydnl]

No issue if players who haven't played well or need more time to bed in are left out.

However, if we lose to Villa anyway then I can't imagine ETH's case with INEOS will be helped by him opting to leave out so many of the players they bought or signed-off on this summer. It hardly screams "this is the guy we should trust to make the best use of the players we recruit for the team".

 

[cj_sparky]

Nice open midfield three, lovely.

 

[Massive Spanner]

Man Utd XI: Onana; Mazraoui, Evans, Maguire, Dalot; Mainoo, Eriksen; Garnacho, Fernandes, Rashford; Hojlund.

Yeeeeeeesh. This could be bad.

 

[IrishRedDevil]

Evans and Maguire. Wow.
This should be his last United team.

 

[Rojofiam]

Are people back to pretending Maguire is good because De Ligt has been poor?

Of course he was. The revisionism after one game is insane.

Maguire's been comfortably our best cb ever since he joined. It's you that pretended otherwise

 

[NLunited]

Bonkers line up.

 

[Ollie Derbyshire]

Aston Villa XI: Martinez; Cash, Konsa, Torres, Digne; Tielemans, Philogene, Rogers, Ramsey, Bailey; Watkins.

Man Utd XI: Onana; Mazraoui, Evans, Maguire, Dalot; Mainoo, Eriksen; Garnacho, Fernandes, Rashford; Hojlund.

We’re going to get torn apart unfortunately, Maguire and Evans will make some mistakes, Mainoo and Eriksen don’t have the legs to cover their midfield, Bruno will run around all over the place trying to hard and Rashford won’t track back at all and leave his full back looking like he has no idea what he’s doing.

Apart from that I’m looking forward to the game!

 

[Rodgerzzz]

Dropping De Ligt & Martinez was fair enough after the last two games but Mainoo, Eriksen & Bruno in midfield seems suicidal at best.

Can't imagine Ashworth & co. will be impressed with how badly ETH has handled the new signings.

 

[Chicharo]

We're beyond ridiculous. I just want him gone after the match

What kind of nonsense is this? You sound like a real fan

 

[bosnian_red]

Ouf that is a rough team. The spine of that team is fecking slow as hell. Front 3 have pace but the center backs do not work with that midfield 3 at all.

Hopefully the last time we have to deal with Ten Hag. Tired of this guy

 

[Ollie Derbyshire]

We should have got rid of Maguire but didn’t, that tells me something.

 

[devilsadvoca8]

I'd never want us to lose, but I fully expect it. I've never felt this sense of inevitability for a while. I just can't see where our luck will come from today. Villa won't allow us get away with what Porto did. Kickoff is early enough so I'm sure we will hear some news on his sacking tonight into the morning.

 

[The Irish Connection]

Odd that Ugarte isn’t starting. Can see us getting overrun in midfield, although Eriksen does help us on the ball.

 

[Andycoleno9]

His (maybe) last game sums him up. 5th and 6th CD choice start game just because they had good 20 minutes game before. All new signings are left on the bench.

 

[MyDevil]

He is mad with old and slow CBs. Eriksen might be on form but his pace is going to be exposed. No ball winner in the middle. ETH is asking to be sacked.

 

[sebsheep]

We tried to get rid of Maguire, what does that mean?

I can't tell if this post is a joke or not.

 

[Agila Dathi]

It’s 2024 and Evans and Maguire are starting for Man Utd in a must win agains Villa.
It just sounds wrong on so many levels.

 

[Hammondo]

Jesus Christ what a crap lineup.

 

[Castia]

Eriksen keeps starting because the team can't pass a ball more than five yards without him on the pitch.

Looking at the spine of that defence and midfield they probably cant run 5 yards either

We are going to get absolutely run through in midfield and will have to sit deep with Maguire and Evans having zero pace inviting yet more pressure

Bet Villa score 3 at a minimum

 

[Rockets Redglare]

I’m a fan of the club not the manager.

 

[MDFC Manager]

Captain undroppable shall always play

 

[UnitedSofa]

Nothing will happen. The board has not given him the dreaded vote of confidence.

He will be here till December

Yes they have, they gave it a month ago!

I think he's sending a message to them. I hope
