Would be interesting to see how we will line up with Pearson already went on loan.Blind might feature to speep up his recovery

Predicted XI: J.Pereira - Janko,Love,Thorpe,Vermijl - Blind,Rothwell,Pereira - Harrop,Lingard - W.Keane
Subs:Henderson,Grimshaw,Willock,Goss,Fletcher
 
Would not be surprised if Wilson and Januzaj play tomorrow.
 
United squad: Ben Amos, Kieran O'Hara; Callum Evans, Liam Grimshaw, Saidy Janko, Donald Love, Marnick Vermijl; Josh Harrop, Jesse Lingard, Andreas Pereira, Nick Powell, James Weir, Matty Willock; Ashley Fletcher, Will Keane.
 
Lingard is back :D

Be curious to see whether or not Powell is the unfit, disinterested fat bastard you'd think from the various rumours on here.

I'm not sure where you got those two opinions from, I don't remember seeing them on here and searching for "Powell" with either of those terms just returns stuff regarding Anderson. He may very well play with a disinterested appearance which is fine if he's productive, but it's the disinterest in training that's the issue.

He often performs very well for the U21's anyway because he's physically and technically too good for this level, but it seems his attitude to senior training isn't right and as a result he's in limbo where he doesn't impress on loan but probably will impress tonight and in other U21 games.

I was exaggerating but there's definitely been rumours about poor time-keeping and a lack of effort at training. Which isn't going to help his cardio, that's for sure. I also remember thinking he looked a bit heavy-set (and heavy-legged) in a couple of cameos on loan. Obviously am hoping to see him covering every inch of grass, looking fit as a butcher's dog. Just curious, that's all.

Ah, I thought I'd missed the latest development in his so far underwhelming United career.

I think he's just a big lad. He's 6'1" (?) and stocky and he seems to have quite a round face which coupled with his beard means he looks like a couch potato, especially with his lackadaisical playing style.

@khoazany How many times has Willock played for the U21's and is he still eligible for the U18's? I've not really seem them yet this season.

Only a few cameos from the bench and no.Needs to loan out Rothwell and maybe Pereira for him and Goss to get involved more.
 
no TFM? well maybe next time. But he will be there by the end of the season I am sure.

It'll be also interesting to see where lingard plays and if Powell is still crap.

EDIT: already fount it :-)

Looking forward to seeing Lingard and especially Powell back...so many have written him off but I'm still hoping there's something there.
 
Possibly like so? I've put Janko as a CB due to his physical attributes, not sure if Vermijl has played at centre back though.

---------------Amos
Vermijl Janko Grimshaw Love
-------Weir Powell Pereira
Lingard---------------------Harrop
----------------Keane
 
anybody having an access to some rivers. Sharing appreciated
 
United bring the 352 to the youth team too.
 
HT: Norwick 1-0 United.One of the most terrible ref performance I've seen and United very weak in defence as suggested by the line-up.Powell and Pereira need to do better.
 
The lads did very little to impress anyone who is watching. The likes of Love, Wier, Grimshaw are just average but perhaps it's the system which doesn't suit to some players and frustration from refereeing. Pereira disappointed me this half. He showed why can't play deep yet.. We should definitely give up on this system and try 4 at the back. Good to see Jesse back
 
Harsh for Love.He has some good moments albeit giving the ball away too easily couple of times.He's playing out of position though so I wouldn't complain much.
 
Love booked.Another ridiculous decision again from ref with both players pulled each other's shirt.
