Manchester United XI vs Middlesbrough: Romero, Darmian, Smalling, Blind, Rojo, Carrick, Fellaini, Lingard, Pereira, Memphis, Wilson.

Awesome! Only had Martial instead of Wilson and De Gea instead of Romero. Very happy with LvG's choices.

 

[Ixion]

Damn it I knew I should have gone with Romero and Wilson

 

[ChaddyP]

I would have gone Rojo for Smalling but I really like the team other than that.

Think you mean Jones?

 

[Raw]

Expected a little more first teamers than that, but it should be enough.

 

[Massive Spanner]

time for Romero to claim back his rightful #1 spot.

 

[Zoo]

I thought Jones would have started with Smalling rested. But it's a good team.

Manchester United XI vs Middlesbrough: Romero, Darmian, Smalling, Blind, Rojo, Carrick, Fellaini, Lingard, Pereira, Memphis, Wilson.

Makes sense. Lots of experience in the back 6 and then youth up top.

Big question is if Memphis is the 10 with Pereira out wide, vice versa or a 4-3-3 with Pereira alongside Fellaini, which would be my choice. Give Carrick room to pick some passes, gets Fellaini forward more, gives Wilson a bit more room, too.

 

[ottosec]

Nice team, hopefully there are some more youngsters on the bench.

 

[Randall Flagg]

Anyway as you all want to know I only got 8/11

Having just cracked the top 100 that will hurt

 

[Pexbo]

Would be more comfortable with some more first teamers as I'd love to win this competition and get into winning ways buy it's always exciting to see the kids. Exciting and dynamic front four out our youngsters.

 

[RonaldoVII]

Happy with that, a good mix of players and resting those in need. Now up to the lads to do the job and I'm sure they will

 

[RedMachine03]

Nice team, hopefully there are some more youngsters on the bench.

Probably not as U21s had a game on Monday. Goss should be there though.

 

[dwd]

Who is on the bench?

 

[DWelbz19]

Nice. Would've wanted Smalling to get a bit of rest though.

 

[We need an rvn]

Is Mcnair still injured ?

Nice lineup. Excited with the front 4.

didn't he rupture for liver or something...assume that's not some 2 week injury lay off mate

 

[pcaming]

that's me screwed in the line up game then.

 

[Jazz]

Can't believe this isn't showing in the UK. Don't know if I can deal with the streaming tonight.

 

[NoPace]

I thought Jones would have started with Smalling rested. But it's a good team.

Yeah. The odds of a CB injury are low, but it seems impossible to think we'll win anything of note without Smalling, so I'd rest him here too. Along with Martial and De Gea, the 3 players we basically need to have healthy.

Though I suppose Blind-Jones could be adequate, tough to see us winning the league or getting too deep in the CL with it.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Subs: De Gea, Young, Schweinsteiger, Herrera, Mata, Martial, Rooney.

 

[Devil may care]

Surprisingly weak line-up, but exciting.

 

[Pexbo]

My original team would have got me 7, changed it last minute to the MUTV predicted lineup and got 8. Bloody hard predictions these cup games are.

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

Romero
Darmian Smalling Blind Rojo
Carrick
Pereira Fellaini
Lingard-----------Memphis
Wilson

If I'm not mistaken, Pereira is playing the Herrera-role.​

 

[Moonred]

Time to say, 10/11. Got Mike Smalling wrong.

 

[dwd]

Subs: De Gea, Young, Schweinsteiger, Herrera, Mata, Martial, Rooney.

Thanks. Odd how the lineup hasn't been tweeted by the club. Even they don't care about this comp

 

[J-Stander]

Probably the best bench we've ever put out.

 

[Raw]

De Gea, Young, Schweinsteiger, Herrera, Mata, Martial, Rooney on the bench

 

[CG1010]

Would be great if the young guns can produce an energetic and creative game with hopefully a few goals to increase the competition for places in the team.

 

[Jazz]

Nice. Would've wanted Smalling to get a bit of rest though.

Me too

 

[LARulz]

Very strong bench incase things go completely wrong

 

[Pexbo]

Probably the best bench we've ever put out.

Since when?

 

[Mciahel Goodman]

Think I got about two out of 11 on this one.

 

[Skills]

Nice. Would've wanted Smalling to get a bit of rest though.

This will be like a light jog for him. Keep him warmed up for the weekend.

 

[Beachryan]

Very Fergie team that - youth + players needing a game in the league cup.

But, Boro are a really good side. Think LVG is underestimating them, personally would much rather start a stronger team, try to build a lead THEN bring on the kids. Pretty worried now.

 

[Wednesday at Stoke]

9/11 got Smalling and Romero wrong.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Thanks. Odd how the lineup hasn't been tweeted by the club. Even they don't care about this comp

I copy and pasted that from the official website. Only just announced though.

 

[CG1010]

Subs: De Gea, Young, Schweinsteiger, Herrera, Mata, Martial, Rooney.

I thought Young was injured?

 

[ottosec]

Strong bench. And Rooney.

 

[wiz4231]

What's going on with Sean Goss, can anybody enlighten me?

 

[Ixion]

De Gea, Young, Schweinsteiger, Herrera, Mata, Martial, Rooney.

Probably the strongest bench we've ever had for any game
