My lineup:

Rashford==Zlatan===Mikhi

=====Pogba===Herrera====

========Fellaini=========

Blind=Rojo=Jones=Valencia

 

[EdWeatherall]

Smalling and Bailly back in defence today apparently. And Martial, Mata and Mkhitaryan behind Zlatan

 

[Ramshock]

Lets start Blind at DM over Fellaini ffs

 

[Boycott]

Looking at the stats Boro are joint-fifth with Southampton in least goals conceded (we have 18, they have 20).

They have only scored 16 times which is equal to Hull and Sunderland as the worst.

 

[glazed]

Gladly I live in Scandinavia so I see more or less all the matches live, no matter what time they are played

I'm sure there's some spreadsheet where that makes financial sense to the club but it sure doesn't to me. Fortunately I have a large satellite dish.

 

[villain]

Smalling and Bailly back in defence today apparently. And Martial, Mata and Mkhitaryan behind Zlatan

If that's true, it's 10/11 for me then, I had Smalling to start over Jones and Rojo to keep his spot.

 

[Sandikan]

Smalling and Bailly back in defence today apparently. And Martial, Mata and Mkhitaryan behind Zlatan

Presuming Pogba and Herrera are also in there, that's probably as exciting a lineup as we can field.

I do feel Smalling-Bailly is our best couple of centre backs, and will end up being this post Bailly's return from the cup.

 

[JustinC00]

They were stretches of the game at OT where they looked the much better side in the first half

What match did you watch?

Aye

DDG, Valencia, Smalling, Bailly, Blind, Pogba, Herrera, Mkhitaryan, Mata, Martial, Ibrahimovic

Hope thats true. Pogba herrera I bviously midfield, if we have valencia and blind at fullback then its probably our most attacking team possible and what many were originally saying as our best. Carrick in there and its our most dominant team (again, assuming smalling is at his best and not the shaky mess we've seen this year).

 

[Ixion]

What match did you watch?

There was definitely a period in the first half where Sunderland were on top, a good 15 minute period.

 

[Damien]

Please no, I'm quite sure we lost every game they played together.

Pogba-Carrick: P2 W2 (100% win)
Fellaini-Carrick: P1 W1 (100% win)
Fellaini-Herrera: P1 W1 (100% win)
Herrera-Carrick: P1 W1 (100% win)
Herrera-Schneiderlin-Carrick: P1 W1 (100% win)
Pogba-Fellaini-Carrick: P1 W1 (100% win)
Pogba-Herrera-Carrick: P7 W5 D2 (71% win)
Fellaini-Pogba: P5 W3 L2 (60% win)
Herrera-Pogba: P5 W2 D3 (40% win)
Pogba-Fellaini-Herrera: P2 D1 L1 (0% win)
Pogba-Herrera-Schneiderlin: P2 L2 (0% win)

For the curious there's the different combinations. Unbeaten this season when Carrick has started. Shame he's not playing but West Ham is definitely the one to save him for.

 

[K2K]

While Rafael is here get his signed up as Tony's deputy!

Would probably get injured signing the contract.

 

[JustinC00]

"much better"

At no point in that game did Sunderland show they were a "much better" side.

 

[AgentP]

Aye

DDG, Valencia, Smalling, Bailly, Blind, Pogba, Herrera, Mkhitaryan, Mata, Martial, Ibrahimovic

Wow that's an exciting lineup if true. We can't get more attacking than this.

 

[EyeInTheSky]

BFS in at the carrick role or at least DB. Not fecking Fellaini ffs

 

[cyberman]

Boro can't score and defend well. It's all about our attacking verve today imo.

 

[Scholesy]

Or Blind

 

[DomesticTadpole]

UNITED'S CONFIRMED STARTING XI

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Meltdown time.

 

[Dobba]

Fellaini for feck sake.

Am I doing it right?

 

[DWelbz19]

Fellaini

 

[Scholesy]

Martial and Miki

 

[Igor Drefljak]

Glad to see Mkhi and Martial playing. Would have rather Blind in the Fellaini role but can't have everything

 

[charlenefan]

Fellaini






why?

 

[Freak]

Fellaini FFS

 

[Magnus]

Fellaini.... I just don't understand it

 

[Dir Wangem]

Almost perfect team that.

Is Carrick being rested?

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

Nice team. Nice to see Mourinho sticking with the 433, even when Carras is out. Guess we'll see Fellaz in front of the back four, although he allows for much more rotation in the midfield, as he's comfortable going forward too.

 

[Raw]

Please don't be shit, Marouanne.

 

[wr8_utd]

Good team apart from Fellaini ruining it. We might just yet again see how crucial Carrick is to this team. Hope we're leading comfortably and Zlatan gets rested second half.

 

[Manny]

Yep we should have enough to beat Boro at home. Give Carrick a rest.

 

[villain]

Martial and Miki

Hopefully that'll stop you complaining for 48 hours at least.

 

[drdoityourself]

Bailly, Micky and Martial in. I'm happy.

 

[Scholesy]

My prediction 5-1, briliant line up, assuming Fellaini is not in holding role (he is not bad further forward)

 

[Ban]

I predicted everything right except for Bailly, Smalling and Fellaini.

 

[bosnian_red]

feck off fellaini. That line up would be beautiful with Mata. Can't wait until fellaini is out of the club so i dont have to see him in lineups anymore.

On a positive note, the remaining 10 are exciting. Hopefully martial performs.

 

[Successful]

Two cb on the bench. Interesting.

Smalling as captain? ???? OK hot and cold.

Bastian on the bench.

 

[Devil may care]

fecking Fellaini, ridiculous decision, weird that he's switched the back 4 as well.

 

[Adnan]

Very happy with that line-up
