[MounchesterUtd]

Any lineup news yet?

 

[sunama]

Every time I hear about Moyes and how he performs at his job, makes me ask the question, "What was Fergie thinking when he gave Moyes the job?"
Were drugs and alcohol involved. Or black magic? Voodoo? Mind control? Hypnosis?

 

[JB08]

This will definitely be a much harder game than most imagine. How much would Moyes love to steal a 0-0 at Old Trafford? I'm going for 2-0 but the goal will take a while, could see a 0-0 at HT.

 

[sunama]

Cant wait, finally match day. So boring without football

It's been a long wait, especially after getting used to seeing us play 2 matches/week for the last few months.

 

[OB]

Hope we smash them 4-0 or something

 

[MounchesterUtd]

 

[VanGaalEra]

We really just need an early goal to throw them off their game plan.

 

[Manny]

Hoping for some rotation but I can see Jose playing a strong lineup to build confidence after a week off and then rotate against Boro.

 

[matherto]

There isn't a chance in hell Sunderland nicks a draw. Anything under three goals for united should be seen as a disappointment.
A good old six nil battering would do it.

When was the last time we battered someone 6-0 though?

Even when we convincingly beat a team, it's usually only 2/3-0. Sounds spoilt really but we don't often go for big scores.

 

[El-Manos]

We have to destroy them. No excuses.

It does sound spoilt but i just think we are due to batter a team by five or more goals and why not hope it's against a Sunderland side managed by old davey.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

...and the rumours start.

Early team news rumours
There are suggestions Rooney and Mkhitaryan aren’t fit and the front three will be Mata, Lingard and Zlatan is the front three. It’s unconfirmed, of course.

In Mkhitaryan’s case, he might not be fit enough, since he was spotted arriving at The Lowry last night. So was Martial, but he hasn’t started since his disappointing performance against Spurs.

12:46

 

[OldTrevil]

Every time I've gone for a high score we won with a low one so I went with 2-0 today

Here's the lineup I've gone with

------------DDGawd---------
Valencia--Jones--Rojo--Darmian
------------Carrick-----------
-----Herrera----Pogba-------
Lingard----Zlatan----Martial

Subs: Rooney, Micky, Mata

Some bad news for United fans: Martin Atkinson is refereeing today. #mufc

12:55 PM - 26 Dec 2016

 

[Adisa]

If Mkhi isn't fit, hope it's Zlatan, Lingard and Martial. Their defense is pretty slow, we can exploit that.

 

[J-Stander]

They'll be sat so deep I don't know whether pace will matter. Mata should and probably will start.

 

[SqueakyWeasel]

Stuck in East Germany with my one tiny chance of finding somewhere to see this fading fast. Hope it's a good game and at least a 3 goal win. Happy Xmas folks

You're missing sex...not literally I hope

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Suggestions Rooney is OUT today
Someone else has just said Rooney was spotted arriving in his car, so he may well be out of today’s game.

13:28

 

[zeekey]

If someone doesn't have a message spray painted on a bed sheet sbout Moyes I'll be disappointed.

 

[ManUnitedCanuck]

Come on lads, don't feck up my holidays now!!!

Let's start turning around our home form and continue our run of wins.

 

[FC Ronaldo]

Come on China!!

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Rooney injured
Apparent confirmation of what we have already told you. No Charlton record today.

No Wayne Rooney in MUFC squad today. He travelled here separately from the rest of the squad. Sounds like he's injured.

[prateik]

Come on China!!

No chance of him leaving before he gets the record. Unlikely to leave for the money just after getting the record..

So.. he's staying.

 

[VanGaalEra]

Come on China!!

£30M bid incoming

 

[FC Ronaldo]

If I was a mod you'd have a tagline of Buzz Killington right now.

 

[VanGaalyTime]

de gea valencia rojo jones darmian carrick herrera pogba mata lingaard zlatan is the rumour.

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

No Rooney then. Hoping for Mkhitaryan to come in for him.

A front three of Mkhitaryan, Ibrahimovic and Lingard would be nice.

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

de gea valencia rojo jones darmian carrick herrera pogba mata lingaard zlatan is the rumour.

Don't see the point of putting Mata on the wing against a Sunderland side that will most likely park the bus. Like West Brom, we're going to need runners in behind.

 

[Terminator]

Hopefully Mkhi's fit. I want to watch him play.

 

[Pexbo]

Come on China!!

Hangover.

 

[Carlsen19]

Rooney hungover then.

Surely they have bars in East Germany!

 

[RedNed77]

Mkhitaryan - Ibra - Mata

As the front three for me today, pace isn't all that important against a team who'll go for 9-0-1 formation.

 

[Tarrou]

Surely they have bars in East Germany!

I hear they've got internet now as well

 

[OldTrevil]

I hear they've got internet now as well

 

[drdoityourself]

Blind in for Darmian

 

[DomesticTadpole]

UNITED'S LINE-UP
United: De Gea, Valencia, Jones, Rojo, Blind; Carrick, Herrera, Pogba; Mata, Lingard; Ibrahimovic. Subs: Romero, Darmian, Smalling, Fellaini, Mkhitaryan, Martial, Rashford.

Too many mince pies the fat bastard. He's always "injured" round Christmas.

 

[Godfather]

So mikhy back on the bench
