    United subs: Lindegaard, McNair, Carrick, Fellaini, Mata, Januzaj, Wilson

    Carrick's back at least. No Valdes though?
     
    The right formation, finally. Hopefully Falcao takes his chances, but it's really disappointing to see Mata on the bench.
     
    What I like:
    Smalling.
    Young.
    Looks like a 4-3-3, hopefully.

    What I don't like:
    Evans (but Shaw injured means he has to play I guess)
    Rooney in midfield and Falcao up-front.
     
    United XI vs Sunderland: De Gea, Valencia, Smalling, Evans, Rojo, Blind, Herrera, Young, Di Maria, Rooney, Falcao.



    Subs: Lindegaard, McNair, Carrick, Fellaini, Mata, Januzaj, Wilson.

    That is official off club website.
     
    Hopefully its either a normal 4-4-1-1 or a 4-3-3... None of this diamond or 3-5-2 bollocks.

    Good lineup though if it is, its actually a balanced side. Shaws injury the only thing forcing it to be a bit off.
     
    At least Smalling starts, presuming Jones is injured again? Not even on the bench.
     
    What's happened to Jones? LVG clearly said Van Persie the only one injured but now Shaw and Jones are both out.
     
    Sunderland: Pantilimon, Reveillere, van Aanholt, Brown, O’Shea (c), Cattermole, Larsson, Gomez, Johnson, Wickham, Defoe.
    Subs: Mannone, Bridcutt Fletcher, Graham, Coates, Vergini, Watmore
     
    Good to see Smalling back. Rafael still not in sight.
     
    Does anyone have a link to a quality site for rivers? I haven't looked at rivers much this season as my favourite website got shut down for some reason.

    Could anyone link me to a good website? I'd like a website I can revisit if needed, as then I won't have to ask every time Manchester United are playing, which is usually I like looking at rivers coincidentally.

    Cheers!
     
    Probably the best side he could have put out, considering that Shaw is injured. I'm happy enough.
     
    Not the line up I would have gone for but should be enough to beat Sunderland.
     
    De Gea
    Valencia Smalling Evans Rojo
    Blind-Herrera
    Rooney
    Di Maria---------Young
    Falcao​

    Looks good to me.
     
    If Young can play as a wingback, he can play on the side of a diamond. Hopefully he's a winger, though.
     
    Come on, provided we don't set up in that ghastly 352 then that team is very, very close to the one many of us wanted to see.

    Let's be fair.
     
    Hopefully its either a normal 4-4-1-1 or a 4-3-3... None of this diamond or 3-5-2 bollocks.

    Good lineup though if it is, its actually a balanced side. Shaws injury the only thing forcing it to be a bit off.

    Every week the United Twitter team graphic gives away the formation with the order of the players.

    If it was 3-5-2 it would have had Smalling, Evans, Rojo, Valencia, Young rather than Valencia, Smalling, Evans, Rojo
     
    Good line-up. Wingers, at last. Very optimistic now. Not only that we'll get a convincing win, but that we'll display some very good football too.

    Disappointed that Shaw and Jones are not in the squad. Both are obviously injured.

    Very happy to see Carrick back. :D
     
    Oh and McNair should not be in the squad ahead of Rafael. Ridiculous decision.
