Agreed, this is the perfect opportunity to give him a start in the middle after a good pre season. Must be so disheartening to see McToniminay ahead of you!

Donny in a midfield two vs Leeds is asking for trouble.

 

[TheReligion]

Hope we smash them today. Hundreds of Leeds fans causing bother in the city centre. Have been since half 8 this morning.

Going to be tasty on and off the pitch.

 

[Devil77]

No central defenders on the bench. Great planning.

Both Matic and McTominay can fill in as CB. Or move Shaw centrally and play another LB. But I hope we don’t have to worry about it.

 

[TrustInJanuzaj]

Donny in a midfield two vs Leeds is asking for trouble.

I honestly disagree. He’s press resistant, good passer and works hard. McTominay and matic is asking for trouble with their lack of mobility and the fact you can never control a football match with McTominay in there.

 

[Pavl3n]

Wouldn't say I'm happy with this leaked XI if true.....

I expected to see VDB. I thought that he would've been chosen ahead of others based on his pre season. He looked closer to match fitness than others.

 

[KennyBurner]

No chance we’re playing Matic in a 2 today

You guys underestimate him so much. We can fully control the game with Matic there. Increases our chances of winning so much.

 

[Lewnited]

Highly doubt that leak is true. Imagine it will be those that've played the most minutes, Pogba and McTominay have barely kicked a ball

 

[GMoore23]

Would swap Mctominay for Fred and Pogba for Sancho from the leak. Have no worries with Matic, he's both fit and fresh, I'm sure he'll be one of our best players today.

 

[MDFC Manager]

You guys underestimate him so much. We can fully control the game with Matic there. Increases our chances of winning so much.

Agreed. He can't play every game but when rested well, he's still the best defensive midfielder we've got.

 

[SuperiorXI]

Leeds fans causing a load of trouble in the City centre. I for one am shocked.

 

[hellhunter]

Agreed. He can't play every game but when rested well, he's still the best only defensive midfielder we've got.

Fixed that for you

 

[WPMUFC]

 

[Uniquim]

and here's Leeds

 

[Guy Incognito]

BT still have that 'clap your hands' nonsense.

 

[laughtersassassin]

Rocking up to the season with the same poor Midfield as last

Doesn't bode well.

Hopefully they are displaced soon.

Obviously it worked well against Leeds last season so hopefully it does again

 

[RedDevilCanuck]

VDB should be sold.

 

[Alemar]

Disappointing starting XI, didn’t want James starting

 

[BarstoolProphet]

No Varane?

 

[FootyGirl88]

McFred midfield, give me strength...

 

[Ibi Dreams]

So the leak was wrong

 

[SuperiorXI]

Why do they announce the lineups in number order? So awkward.

 

[Devil may care]

McFred and James is disheartening.

 

[slored1]

How is McTominay ahead of Donny. Unbelievable.

 

[acnumber9]

Matic has been comfortably our best player in pre season and we still play McTominay and Fred in midfield.

 

[laughtersassassin]

We need to get away from McFred. It's holding us back.

Might be ok for one off game here and there such as this one but it can't be our main Midfield

 

[Thiagoal]

A little concerned at the lack of firepower. Let’s hope Bruno and Mason are on their game

 

[BlackBen]

10/11 swapped Tony for McT. Come on United

 

[MDFC Manager]

Fixed that for you

No you're actually right!

 

[DWelbz19]

You guys underestimate him so much. We can fully control the game with Matic there. Increases our chances of winning so much.

Grandpa Matic against a pre-season pressing Leeds side? Not sure about that.

 

[tyunited]

That midfield after a summer transfer window

 

[TMDaines]

Any sort of win will do with that. If we’re 2nd at 14:30, I will be very happy.

 

[SirAnderson]

10/11, had Martial instead of Fred. Meh.

EDIT: Scratch that, 9/11. Didn't see McTominay cause of the shite way we have it listed on Twitter.

 

[100]

Thankfully matic isn't starting. People have forgotten how bad he looked at the end of last season.

 

[FootyGirl88]

Did McTominay even play one game of pre-season???

 

[Raw]

Easy prediction. Excited to see Sancho come off the bench!

 

[Lewnited]

McFred?! They've barely played

 

[Rustyspider13]

Very safe lineup. Was hoping it'd be VdB and Fred but McFred worked well last time so can see why it was picked. Surprised to see Greenwood lead the line, big game for him.

 

[Pavl3n]

McFred in the middle and Pogba on the left.
Let's see.

 

[Leftback99]

Surprising line up considering pre season.

 

[ivaldo]

How is McTominay ahead of Donny. Unbelievable.

Because Donny has been dog shit every single time he has played for us. It's not difficult.
