I really hope that's our line up and it's also in the diamond. If it's 3 at the back I'm not even going to bother watching it.

 

[Hans Wurst]

Good lineup, looking forward to Di Maria behind Falcao and Wilson, good combination of pace, trickery and intelligence, think they might be devastating.

 

[DWelbz19]

Hopefully Wilson nets a few tonight. Keep his place in the side offering us a much needed focal pace outlet, whilst also keeping the other two on their toes.

 

[Sandikan]

Januzaj at wing back?
We're obviously presuming we'll have so much possession and territory that Blind in effect plays at left back and Januzaj at left wing

I'll go 2-0, tepid game, quality strike somewhere random, then a 93rd min goal to make it look more comfy.

Ala QPR away really.

 

[OnlyTwoDaSilvas]

If the lineup above is true, then it's not a 'big' backline considering we're up against total cloggers. Smalling should start for a bit of aerial presence IMO. They've got a couple of big, big boys up front, Tom Elliot and Ryan Bird. They're no footballers, but they're big units. I think Blind and Rojo will struggle with them if they're given the opportunity to lump it to them.

Smalling's injured.

 

[Macern]

Three players that i really think should play:

Herrera - deserves way more games.
Januzaj - deserves the chance to play himself in form. If not we might as just sell him. He's only 19 and the demands from him are way too high in my opinion.
Valdes - he's good enough to play the cup games. Would be stupid not to play him especially against Cambridge.

Edit: Andreas Pereira deserves a chance as well.

Oh jesus christ. Calm down people.

De Gea starts
No Rooney in the squad.

[OnlyTwoDaSilvas]

Smalling's injured.

I didn't know that. How did this one happen?

[LeftyBlaster]

Looks a pretty good team!

FFS did he omit Valdes just to spite the media?

 

[Member 5225]

DDG

 

[Macern]

Oh jesus christ. Calm down people.

Calm down? How was that a controversial statement?

 

[Borys]

Herrera is the ultimate bench warmer.

 

[Mciahel Goodman]

Steve Bates got it right. Decent side in fairness, looking forward to seeing Januzaj, Falcao and Di Maria line up together. (and Wilson too, a lot of pace which is unusual for us.)

United XI vs Cambridge: De Gea, Jones, Rojo, Blind, Valencia, Carrick, Fellaini, Januzaj, Di Maria, Wilson, Falcao #mufclive

 

[BringNaniBack]

What does Herrera have to do to get a start!

 

[DomesticTadpole]

De Gea starts
No Rooney in the squad.

So no Rooney at all. Wow! Actually thought he would be on bench. Or Mata.

 

[Damien]

Valdes on the bench, weird.

 

[ha_rooney]

Don't like 3-5-2, but at least di Maria is not stuck up front. Would've liked to see Herrera play. Hopefully Januzaj can have an impact.

 

[DWelbz19]

I didn't know that. How did this one happen?

Warm up vs QPR

 

[JinnerJamie]

I didn't know that. How did this one happen?

He's Chris Smalling what more needs to be added?

 

[HeckneyNoodo]

No Pereira again.

 

[Beachryan]

Looks like a 443?!

DDG

I dont mind this , I think a keeper should be ever present unless he is injured.

 

[paulscholes18]

Ddg
Valencia Jones rojo blind
Carrick
Fellaini di maria
Januzaj
Wilson falcao

Shame Herrera not starting

 

[Steven Seagull]

Colour drains from the Cambridge team faces as it dawns upon them that big Michael Carrick is skipper. They won't be making it out of here alive tonight.

 

[Dobba]

Di Maria in midfield!

Possibly. Maybe. I think.

 

[Redo91]

Once again Fletcher on the bench. He is clearly on his way out of the club. Literally a waste of space at this stage. Should have Pereira there instead of him.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Looks a pretty good team!

FFS did he omit Valdes just to spite the media?

So is he saying Valdes is no good against big players, so if DDG goes, we are stuck with Valdes who is no good against big players.

 

[caisenma]

My biggest surprises:

a) Valdes not starting
b) Januzaj starting (but in a good way)

Hopefully we playing attacking football, regardless of the formation.

 

[DWelbz19]

Rafael on the bench? Progress!

 

[sizzling sausages]

Looks like a diamond Disappointed not to see Valdes, very happy with the team otherwise.

 

[Mr.Kaya]

That's a very strong lineup! Really happy that Januzaj starts, I really hope he take the chance today, and deliver a stunning performance!

 

[Redo91]

4 at the back?

I didn't realise that Mata was missing.
