U23s: Manchester United vs Leicester City
- Thread starter RedMachine03
- Start date
Port Vale wants to take Harrop on loan (deal not finalized yet). Will be interesting to see if he plays at all (if fit).
Do we think there's a chance of seeing Smalling and TFM tonight? They definitely need some minutes.
The young French midfielder we signed from Le Havre, will he play?
I forgot about them. I think TFM will definitely start and I wouldn't be surprised to see Smalling play too.
Is CBJ still injured? I've seen him linked with a loan move to West Brom.
That would be great if true. They've got no one at LB and had to play Evans there in the opener. He's bound to get plenty of minutes.
This seems to have come from The Sun though, so I won't get my hopes up.
Oh I saw it somewhere else. Yeah it would be a great move for him. PL experience and if he performs we can go into next season with him and Shaw as our two left-backs.
XI?
My guess would be something like Henderson - Fosu-Mensah,Poole,Tuanzebe,Riley - Goss,Redmond - Weir,Willock,El-Fitouri - McTominay
Subs O'Hara,Mitchell,Kehinde,Osolunde,Warren

What's up with Wilson? Injured? No news regarding him whatsoever.
only news i've read about him is more gossipy than anything... apparently he was offered to a team on loan in the championship and he vetoed it. wants to play the in the PL.
Is this Under 23s or Under 21s?
He could use the minutes.
I'm off to the game now.......anyone of the Caf at the game too???
De Laet,Matt James,Tom Lawrence,Liam Moore,Kapustka and Gokhan Inler start for Leicester.
That defense could hold its own against most PL attacks.Shame the attack looks so week
They will be playing against a strong Leicester side so they might have to.
So what does that mean for Gribbin, who wasn't in the u18 match? Wilson?
Hamstring injury.
Worried about TFM's complete lack of game time.
He's with the first squad.
He is, but until the EL and Capital One Cup start, not sure where he will get game time. He has to even get on the bench first.
Strong Leicester team that. I thought TFM would get some minutes here but that doesn't seem to be the case. I expect him to be involved soon because I can't see him starting for the first team at the moment.
Where's Wilson ? and even Will Keane ?
Surely he should be out on loan by now ?

Another bench with couple of U18s players.Probably will be the norm of this season.
Can see few of this team needing loans as well so we might even see the U18s starting a few.
In the last few years we have some players who barely play at all throughout the whole season so make sense for me to trim down the size of the squad a bit and having U18s on the bench instead, with the top U18s starting.
How come we can't manage to field a single striker, season after season ?
Apparently Mourinho keeps his senior squad distanced from everything else, which explains why Basti, Januzaj etc. are all pretty much excluded from things. He isn't flexible like van Gaal to dip players in and out of U21 matches for fitness.
Any news on where Andreas Pereira is? CBJ is playing so I'm a bit surprised Andreas isn't. @khoazany
Jesus...such a strong Leicester team, especially across the middle.
The lads are going to have their work cut out for them tonight.

I would say that seeing as Pereira and TFM arent with the u21s, yet CBJ is, CBJ isn't in the immediate plans of the first team squad.
Fosu-Mensah is part of the plans, Pereira isn't. Similar position to Januzaj according to Luckhurst.
Yeh not too surprised at that. I just think this is a signal Borthwick-Jackson wont get close to the first team anytime soon.
Olosunde and Kehinde are our wingers with Mitchell on the bench ?
How does that make sense ?

Formation and Personnel haven't made sense for a long time now. #InJoyceWeTrust
He's been injured all summer though, so makes sense to get some minutes in U23 matches. Not saying he's not going on loan but there is a reason why he's playing in this one, he needs match fitness.
