Manchester United 0:1 Atletico Madrid (Sat 30th July, 12:45 UK time)

Disappointing that Sancho isn't available. Think that's a huge problem for us this season. He'll probably be ok for Brighton but it underlines how much trouble we'll be in if literally any of the frontline pick up an inury which, of course, they will. We could play Eriksen on the right although I'd imagine ETH will want to play him in the main role he wants him to play, which is probably cm. Considering it's just a pre-season game I think it'll probably be Elanga coming into the team for this game. In the actual season I expect we'll see Eriksen pushed up to the wing and McTominay or Garner come into midfield.
 
Im not convinced anybody not in the atleico squad today will start any of the first 3 competitive games of the season. Barring injury or a leap in form in training or off the bench.

We have a match tomorrow too, so i doubt it matters who starts today.
They're not going to use the starting 11 in both.
 
Seriously why do they continue to order these line ups by number instead of position. ffs
 
feck me how grim is our squad.

Any chance we actually fecking buy some player to improve it. Wouldn't take much considering the utter lack of quality

Yeah a week away from the start of the season and still seeing the likes of McTominay and Elenga in a starting lineup is a bit ridiculous.
 
All Man United fans in Oslo. Sam on MUTV said he only spotted FOUR Atletico shirts. :lol:

If only the Glazers fully appreciated what they have at United. Bigger than any artificially inflated franchise they'll ever own in the US.
 
That's probably the line up for next week then. Vital we sign a RW because that looks desperately short with just Sancho missing.
 
Other than injuries, I think that will be the team + bench for Brighton. Which is to say, Zidane and Savage won't be in the matchday squad.

You expect Shaw wont be in the match day squad?
 
Whats going on with Pellistri? Is it because he's likely to be loaned out? Because I'd take him easily over Elanga
 
You can see why we’re after Antony and Sesko with that frontline we’ve put out. Hopefully one of those guys or someone else whos a versatile forward comes this window.
 
Moaning about Elanga when he was one of the brighter ones last season. The mind boggles
 
This will be fun!

Some of our fans can't help themselves :wenger:
 
Erik said that Eriksen and Martinez must work with fitness to do 90 mins. They might feature today and tomorrow.
