Thought so too. Not sure being "mkhiti'd"

I'm almost sure he's being mkhiti'd.

 

[Aint gota Kalou]

Blind and possibly TFM.

Mourinho mentioned Carrick before TFM so I think he's higher in the rankings.

I guess LVG tried that approach to a certain extent and it worked until the leg break.

Though, like the other poster said, I thought Shaw had a knock or something and that is why he was not on the bench for the last game. I could be wrong.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

M.E.N. having one of their little guesses again.
Possible line-up
De Gea

Valencia Smalling Jones Darmian

Herrera Pogba

Mata Rooney Mkhitaryan

Rashford

Attack, attack, attack.

 

[AltiUn]

Hope we don't bench Martial, he and Mkhitaryan need to be playing together.

 

[Android1974]

Actually, Mourinho hasn't mentioned Fosu-Mensah as a center-back since I can remember. The only indication he could use him there was when a center-back (Bailly?) in a European game seemed injured and the manager sent Fosu-Mensah to warm-up.

Line up looks fine to me. Hopefully try kill game off early and get Pogba, Mkhi and Valencia off.

 

[devil in me]

Why are people suspecting Zlatan to be injured? Seem to be putting 2 and 2 together and making 8. Just because the MEN reported he isn't at the hotel? Or have I missed something more concrete?!

My line up is almost the same except for Martial instead of Mata. But the M.E.N could be way off with their guess. Wouldn't be surprised to see Fellaini and Lingard start.

You missed Mourinho saying he would start, just that.

[Charlie Foley]

MEN spot on then. Attacking line up

wasn't seen at the team hotel, everyone else was spotted and Jose said he would not only be in the team but would start. and he's not in the team it's not because he's being rested unless Jose completely did a 180 from his previous decision, or Zlatan has an invisible Cloak

 

[Raw]

Sure hope Zlatan's rested

 

[top1whoisman]

Z rested according to Dawson.

 

[Android1974]

Mkhitaryan on the left? Or Rooney upfront? Or Rooney on the left?

 

[AltiUn]

Meh, Rooney or Mata not both IMO. Rashford expected as he probably won't play against Liverpool, very confident we'll win quite easily though.

 

[top1whoisman]

MEN spot on then. Attacking line up

Aye, credit for the correct info.

 

[Raw]

Mkhitaryan on the left? Or Rooney upfront? Or Rooney on the left?

Think it's Mkhitaryan on the left, Mata on the right and Rooney behind Rashford up top.

 

[J-Stander]

Martial would've tore these lot a new one. Hopefully it means he's starting against the rats though.

 

[Man-United]

Line up's 1,15 ahead of kick off this time?

 

[Android1974]

Think it's Mkhitaryan on the left, Mata on the right and Rooney behind Rashford up top.

It would be the closest to the Reading game.

 

[joedirt87]

Feel like it could be Mkhitaryan on the right side of the midfield, Rooney through the center, Mata right Rashford left on the wings. Haven't we seen Mou push Mkh infield a time or two this season to bring on another attacker.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Maybe he wants Rooney to break that record tonight and not have the added pressure in the build up to the Liverpool game. He would rather have Zlatan against Liverpool.

 

[wr8_utd]

Excited to see Rooney alongside Mata, Mkhi and Rashford. He does play better with these quick/technical players around him so hope that continues tonight!

 

[bosnian_red]

Good team. Hopefully Ibra is just rested again and didn't pick up an injury, but today should be a good game.

 

[Bwuk]

Hope it's Rash up top.

 

[wr8_utd]

Maybe he wants Rooney to break that record tonight and not have the added pressure in the build up to the Liverpool game. He would rather have Zlatan against Liverpool.

I doubt he cares about Rooney enough to factor in that while choosing two lineups. Zlatan looked pretty tired in the West Ham game so he's just getting some well deserved rest.

 

[fellaini's barber]

I'm almost sure he's being mkhiti'd.

This could be a thing, how is it pronounced?

 

[BIGbadBOO4]

No Martial again

 

[ha_rooney]

Harsh on Martial. Rather he start than Rooney. Hopefully means he will start on Sunday.

 

[Man-United]

Livermore also out now for Hull.

Only 6 players on the bench for them tonight.

 

[top1whoisman]

 

[Man-United]

Youngster Josh Tyson starting for Hull.

 

[top1whoisman]

@Invictus

 

[GwynnieJ]

Swap Martial for Rooney and the front 6 are perfect.
Dont like Smalling and Jones starting together, feels too 2012.
Hoping to settle the tie tonight.

 

[whatwha]

Z rested according to Dawson.

Why is Carrick (but not Ibra) on the bench then?

 

[Raw]

I remember Clucas having a good game against us in the league, but we really should be smashing that team.

 

[Garethw]

No Martial again

Which is a good thing, as it almost guarantees he'll start against the dippers.

 

[BringNaniBack]

I really am confused by Mourinho's handling of Martial. Fair enough if he is being saved for Liverpool but literally every time he has had a good game this season he has been dropped from the next game. Not just benched but dropped from the squad. What does that do to a players confidence?
