Donny and Garnacho start.

 

[fergieisold]

It's northern Spain and I think right on Bay of Biscay, so for all the get the heat, they also get dodgy weather like rest of northern Europe.

I go to Biarritz every summer. That corner is notorious for low cloud and drizzle at times even in summer! Killer mix of the Atlantic and Pyrenees.

It can go from high 30s to 18c and driving drizzle ridiculously quickly!

Who’s been leaking these lineups? I thought this has been put on a halt by the club

 

[MUFC OK]

More leaked team news:

• Maguire at the heart of a 3 man central defence
• AWB starts as an advanced right wing-back.
• Tuanzebe in for his first start of the season as Lisandro Martinez was left in the overhead compartment on the team flight.

[Pronewbie]

I’m a bit late but here’s what the very reliable leakedlineups shared 1 hour earlier:
Bit of early United news.

Strong side tonight which includes a current star and what they hope will be a star of the future

Both Cristiano Ronaldo and Garnacho start

 

[crossy1686]

Leaks also say Ronaldo starts & Lindelöf will probably be preferred ahead of Maguire too.

New low for Maguire as even Ronaldo is higher in the pecking order at CB

 

[Chief123]

Rashford not starting according to leaks.

Would not surprise me.

Even though we want to win this, the league matches are more important. ETH may feel it’s not worth running players into the ground for this. Especially as it requires a 2 goal victory.

May be Elanga, Ronaldo and Elanga starting.

Yeah I think it's a combination of ten Hag wanting to rest players for the league and also feeling confident enough that we can beat whoever we come up against in the next round regardless.

 

[horsechoker]

We're wearing that horrible yellow kit

That kit is associated with the Brentford humiliation.

I think the last time we wore it was against Southampton away.

 

[the_cliff]

Interesting to see how DVB does.

 

[Samid]

 

[Telsim]

Given up on getting a result then

Quite the contrary. With VdB on it seems we are going for it.

 

[Zoo]

Diamond?

 

[redcucumber]

Quite the contrary. With VdB on it seems we are going for it.

How so? Do you associate Donny with us winning games?

 

[RedSky]

DvB had a decent cameo the other day. Lets see how he does.

 

[Adam-Utd]

Diamond?

Could be, but probably Fernandes RW with Donny as a 10

 

[OL29]

Surprised that Rashford doesn’t start.

 

[mu4c_20le]

Fred in the dog house again

 

[horsechoker]

Remember the van Gaal diamond?

 

[#07]

So Bruno starting on the right, Van de Beek at #10? Make sense with Ronaldo as the centre forward. Ronaldo continually dropping off leaves space for someone to run into. Van de Beek is probably the best at that in our squad. Not sure Bruno does all the right things playing off the right though. Ten Hag tends to like his wide players to stretch the play and allow the full backs to underlap. Although he can switch it up for the overlap. Not sure Bruno loves life getting chalk in his boots though.

 

[Deery]

It screams feed Ronaldo.

Antony is going round and round on the luggage belt.

 

[Orange Tree]

Wow, VDB. I thought he is only allowed 10 minutes per match.

Anyway, that's a strong lineup considering injuries. Rashford to come in and score to make it 2-0.

 

[RonaldoVII]

Ronaldo's 3rd start in a week after 2x90 minutes? And Donny van de Ghost starting? Not convinced we're going to beat them by 2...

 

[mav_9me]

I am thrilled to see Lindelof start. I thought he did way better last few games than Maguire on Sunday. Should help us control the game better.

Surprised to see Rashford on the bench

 

[Pronewbie]

Bruno’s been mediocre when shafted out wide. Hopefully it’s Donny make his infamous blind alley runs down the channel.

 

[Telsim]

How so? Do you associate Donny with us winning games?

We will all come to do so in the future. Trust. He will be brilliant tonight.

 

[TheGame]

Bruno will eventually need a rest at some point but glad to see Martinez is being rested with Varane out. Would have liked Malacia for Shaw but can't argue with much else.

 

[pseudo_canadian]

Interested to see how Donny plays

 

[USREDEVIL]

I presume we're gonna see quite a few crosses from Bruno to Ronaldo from the right. Interesting lineup but i expect to see Rashford around the 60th min.

 

[jderbyshire]

Real Sociedad line up?

 

[Samid]

Bruno will eventually need a rest at some point but glad to see Martinez is being rested with Varane out. Would have liked Malacia for Shaw but can't argue with much else.

Suspended on Sunday.

 

[RonaldoVII]

We will all come to do so in the future. Trust. He will be brilliant tonight.

We'll barely notice him before he comes off for Rashford after 55 minutes.

 

[jymufc20]

Bruno will eventually need a rest at some point but glad to see Martinez is being rested with Varane out. Would have liked Malacia for Shaw but can't argue with much else.

Luckily for him he is banned at the weekend.

 

[RedRonaldo]

Interesting set up, I like to see Garnacho, and finally we also see VDB playing under ETH too.

But who are we going to play on the right? Bruno? VDB? Ronaldo?

And even I'd like to see Ronaldo playing more, isn't that 3 start in a week is abit way too much for someone turning 38 soon?

 

[Deery]

Bruno will eventually need a rest at some point but glad to see Martinez is being rested with Varane out. Would have liked Malacia for Shaw but can't argue with much else.

He’s suspended next match

 

[TheGame]

Suspended on Sunday.

Ah right, didn't know that, cheers.

 

[mav_9me]

Btw is this a new thing? our lineups used to come out 1 hr before our games. Now they come out about 1 hr 15 mins before?

 

[Chief123]

So it’s confirmed. Maguire is 4th choice CB. I like ETH.

 

[TMDaines]

Shaw and Dalot will earn their supper here. Minimal width elsewhere.

So it’s confirmed. Maguire is 4th choice CB. I like ETH.

Not sure of your logic given the Rashford resting. We will see at the weekend.
