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.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss three 1-1 draws.
The first got us knocked out of the FA Cup, the next puts us in a good position in our Round of 16 Europa League game, and the latest was an actual decent performance against Arsenal at Old Trafford.
All hopes for the season now rest on the Europa League - does Amorim have the squad to win it?
Rashford with Bruno in from left
Hopefully Pellistri comes to right. I don’t want to see Elanga on right side.
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.
de Gea
Dalot Maguire Lindelof Malacia
McTominay Fred
Elanga Bruno Rashford
Martial

That lineup is quite disappointing. Expected Eriksen to be benched but thought Martinez would at least start
Elanga? Ffs
Did not expect Martinez and Eriksen to start on the bench.
Ooh! Both Eriksen and Martinez on the bench.
Would be really nice to see them at old Trafford tomorrow though. Infront of the home fans n all that.
Just shows how badly we need depth in that position.
Mc Fred and Elanga. Oh the joy.
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

This. I'd put Pellisti before Elanga. This also shows that we need to add another attacking player before the season start if we're going to be falling on Elanga when 1 or 2 front players aren't available.
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. 
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.
Do you think they'll play tomorrow? I didn't expect any of today's squad to play tomorrow
I seriously hope that's not our lineup against Brighton
Rashford right, Martial left, Bruno false 9 with Eriksen in 10. Fred and Donny as the pivot. Probably
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.
Sancho is ill unfortunately. But yeah, Elanga is pretty underwhelming. Don't really rate him at all.
I think outside of Martinez coming in for Lindelof and Sancho for Elanga this will be it for Brighton next week. Hugely disappointing if it is. Please god get rid of McFred FFS! They're crap!
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
Good stuff being completely off the mark even after the lineup has been announced
You know the transfer window has been great when you still start with McFred in the midfield and Maguire and Lindeløf in defence.
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.
Hopefully he’ll get over it super quick and will be an option tomorrow.
Moaning about Elanga when he was one of the brighter ones last season. The mind boggles
Because he ran alot? This years Daniel James
It will very likely be that plus Sancho for Elanga. The team that has had the most training.
This will be fun!
Some of our fans can't help themselves

There always has to a scapegoat at this club. Such a toxic section of our fan base.
For comparison:
Erik said that Eriksen and Martinez must work with fitness to do 90 mins. They might feature today and tomorrow.
