RONALDO
RASHFORD

 

[Judas]

I predict a draw, or a bit of a dismantlement by City.

No Cavani or Varane bloody sucks.

 

[ColvaleGoa]

You must be fed up with mentioning the possibility of sacking Ole now

Not you personally but it seems to be more than the norm these days when talking about Ole.

Just get rid of the bloke, he’s done

I really wanted Ole to succeed. Win a cup atleast. Just for the feel good factor he brought back since The previous managers. Now I just feel bad but the sacking is inevitable. The results when you look at the squad bar McFred is just not acceptable.

 

[charlenefan]

So no Cavani and no Rashford? Ronaldo and Greenwood up front? Worrying that given the publicised lack of cohesion between the two

Seems highly likely. Maguire starting should have Pep licking his lips…his own lips, that is.

 

[FootballHQ]

Ole is a lucky manager with 9 lives. I'll bet a tenner he win this one and survive the season. Limping of 4th

It's an interesting match up. Generally you always seem to get the tactics spot on and do them at the Etihad. Their record is alright at Old Trafford but again you got 0-0 off them last season and 2-0 win the previous season. Got a far better record v them under OGS than Arsenal but guess that's just odd nature of football.

Simply though can't see Man. City not scoring at least twice today with how you're generally defending and weaker backline.

Same.

Ole will get it right today. We won’t lose, but won’t win either. 2-2

 

[Wednesday at Stoke]

I wouldn’t mind starting Lingard if there is no Cavani or Rashford. Greenwood and Ronaldo as a starting two scares me as neither is particularly high in work rate.

 

[Red Star One]

Win-win situation today. We win and we’ve dampened City’s title hopes (plus it always feels great beating that mob).

We lose and we’re a step closer to binning Ole.

That’s how I try to look at it now

 

[Judas]

Is Rashford out too? For fecks sake

 

[charlenefan]

Is Rashford out too? For fecks sake

Dunno but he wasn't with the squad last night and hasn't been spotted this morning like Lindelof

 

[Danillaco]

McFred again would do my head in. feck me, for just a moment could we try having flair and intelligence with Matic and Donny?

 

[Berbasbullet]

Same.

Hope you’re half right

 

[RedDevilRoshi]

Lineups not been confirmed yet?

Neither is Rashford

 

[Sparky Rhiwabon]

Hearing a rumour that Fred might also be injured. Van de Beek anyone??

 

[Sviken]

McFred again would do my head in.

Well, I hold on to your head because you're in for a "surprise"

 

[Jack-C20]

Thought this was this evening so not mentally prepared at all. Keep it tight until Ronaldo inevitably gets his chance to score late. Actually feel we’ve done alright in these games in the past so quietly confident.

 

[Berbasbullet]

Hearing a rumour that Fred might also be injured. Van de Beek anyone??

Matic would start ahead of him.

 

[Sparky Rhiwabon]

Donny…

 

[Wednesday at Stoke]

McFred again would do my head in. feck me, for just a moment could we try having flair and intelligence with Matic and Donny?

Matic against City’s movement would be a disaster. McFred is the right choice amongst the available options.

 

[Vidyoyo]

Fred...

 

[LJJT]

Any one just see Luke shaws pre game interview just shown on sky? His confidence seems utterly shot.

 

[McGrathsipan]

id say McTominay and Fred are getting th

get ready for it

 

[Offside]

We need a penalty it’s been way too long.

 

[charlenefan]

Hearing a rumour that Fred might also be injured. Van de Beek anyone??

Can you imagine

No Pogba
No Fred
No Varane
No Rashford
No Cavani

 

[calodo2003]

McFred again would do my head in. feck me, for just a moment could we try having flair and intelligence with Matic and Donny?

That would be suicidal.

 

[Sparky Rhiwabon]

Hearing Grealish dropped for them

 

[Dudu]

 

[Damien]

Supposedly Lindelof has been seen with the squad this morning.


10:48Richard Fay
Victor Lindelof spotted with United squad
He looked to be a doubt for the match today but Victor Lindelof has been spotted as part of the United squad leaving the team hotel this morning.
That will serve as a huge boost for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer ahead of kick-off given Raphael Varane's absence. Edinson Cavani and Marcus Rashford could both still miss the match though.

Right, I'm going to stop paying attention to the MEN "Lowry leaks" as they said he wasn't there yesterday so took him out of my lineup. Must be the sixth or seventh time this season they've missed someone only for them to turn up at t he game.

 

[Sparky Rhiwabon]

Phew Fred was just a rumour

 

[smi11ie]

Donny is an attacking midfielder. Utd only have 3 viable central midfielders, Matic, Fred and McTom.

I like Greenwood over Rashhford in that set-up. Are the Utd coaching staff learning from there mistakes? Surely not.

 

[cyberman]

Can’t wait to see Greenwood as an actual forward

 

[Judas]

So many crucial players out, no Rashford is such a blow.

 

[Who's Kissing Cameras?]

Think if we lose to spectacular goals or really well worked goals. It is if like recently goals have been conceded through sheer incompetence on our part there will be serious criticism from the fans.

Yes I agree. The type of goals concede will be a factor. All 5 Liverpool goals for example were completely avoidable.

 

[Siorac]

We'll have about 25% possession with that team.

 

[Roux]

Rashford is on the bench

 

[calodo2003]

So many crucial players out, no Rashford is such a blow.

He has done well off the bench recently.

ITK was wrong
