The formation is great till you reach Lingard's name.

 

[Moonred]

If they play 4-3-1-2 and we go 3-5-1-1, who is going to pick up Benzema and who is going to pick up Ronaldo?

Jones did a good job on Ronaldo back in 2013, didn't he? Maybe we'll have Lindelof on the left of the three and Jones on the right. Although, I think Lindelof has been playing on the right for most of pre-season.

Edit: I was assuming Jones had his ban rescinded.

Ronaldo isn't playing.

FFS why Lingard

 

[Sparky Rhiwabon]

FFS why Lingard

Jose loves him

[OneUnited24]

Really good team

 

[prtk0811]

Just got one player wrong , I expected Mkh to be on the bench.

 

[JinnerJamie]

3-5-2 w/ Darmian at CB and Lingard LWB or 4-2-3-1 / 4-3-3 w/ Darmian at LB?

 

[Hisha]

I did the opposite (except for having Mkhi instead of Rashford in the three CB formation)

So, i got 10/11 and the formation right.

 

[RedDevil@84]

Thought Fellaini would start

 

[Z_Wolf]

11/11.

 

[el3mel]

Maybe he played Lingard for his defensive duties. That's the only reason I guess.

 

[charlenefan]

3-5-2 w/ Darmian at CB and Lingard LWB or 4-2-3-1 / 4-3-3 w/ Darmian at LB?

4-3-3

 

[AndyJ1985]

We have a turd like Lingard in the first team and they have Ronaldo on the bench.

I dont think ronaldo will start.

 

[Macern]

No Martial

 

[Dave46]

Put Rashford or Martial in there for Lingard.

On the second thought, Lingard scores 25 yarder.

 

[SATA]

Lingard scored in the preseason friendly against the same team, so that may have played him into the side though it was more of Marital's brilliance

Looking at the XIs, i think Madrid will beat us even without Ronaldo

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

First went with this,

------------------------De Gea----------------------

Valencia---Smalling---Lindelof---Blind---Darmian

------Herrera--------Matic-----------Pogba--------

---------------Lukaku---------Rashford-------------



And then in the final minute, changed to this,


------------------------De Gea----------------------

Valencia------Smalling------Lindelof------Darmian

------Herrera--------Matic-----------Pogba--------

--------Mkhitaryan------------------Rashford-------

------------------------Lukaku-----------------------

I've changed my mind so many times now. I can definitely see it being one of those formations, though. Personnel, I'm not so sure about.

Classy

 

[pseudo_canadian]

As is tradition

 

[Scorpy]

When you exclude Lingard, it's a very good line-up. Hopefully he'll actually do something useful in attack this time and not only help out Valencia.

At least Fellaini isn't starting.

 

[prtk0811]

You may call him that , but he build up the attack until the final third the best from the right side in high pressure. He fluffs in final third.

 

[notcool]

3-5-2 w/ Darmian at CB and Lingard LWB or 4-2-3-1 / 4-3-3 w/ Darmian at LB?

The latter because of the way the names are listed.

4-3-3 is so yuck!

 

[SATA]

Matic

 

[Levo]

I don't get all the hate for Lingard?

Had a good pre-season yet people still don't like to see him on the team sheet?

 

[stretford_oslo]

Small time mentality thank god Jose doesn't think like that.

 

[Florida Man]

Cue Lingard to perform some Messi-like 1-2s and score.

Lingard has been the best in preseason in terms of overall play in posession except in final third.

 

[Yagami]

Looking forward to seeing how Matic, Pogba and Hererra cope together.

 

[Abdou0230]

It is really puzzling to me how Lingard is still a starter for our team.

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

Cue Lingard to perform some Messi-like 1-2s and score.

Big game player.

 

[Fergies Formula]

Good team except lindgard and darmian.

 

[peridigm]

With a happy ending?

Haha. I'll take the happy ending from United this time around.

Lingard over Rashford?

 

[Android1974]

Not happening, but could be fun if it was still a 3-5-2, only with Darmian as leftcenterback and Lingard as leftwingback, I would love to see it.

 

[Red Devil Rising]

First game of the season and I'm already sick of seeing Lingard's name on there.

 

[Dobba]

Looking forward to seeing how Matic, Pogba and Hererra cope together.

It's a great midfield, on paper. So naturally they'll end up looking like they only met each other in the tunnel.

 

[Name Changed]

All this money we spend and all the quality attackers we have and Lingard still starts.

 

[ha_rooney]

Solid team. Looking forward to seeing how our midfield copes with Real's.
