He wasn't benched though. If that was the case he would have at least been on the bench. He wasn't training at all because of illness/injury so was absent from every squad after the last match he started.

He got yanked off at half time after a dismal performance and was then mysteriously ill or injured for the remaining games. Erik does seem to use the undefined health issue rather a lot for players that are in the doghouse, Sancho was supposedly ill too and we now know that was a smokescreen.

 

[Berbasbullet]

Be happy with that.

I wonder if Martinez is back or still partying in Argentina?

He is back.

 

[RedDevilRoshi]

He is back.

Ahh good stuff, hopefully is in the squad

 

[Dempsey19]

Leaked lineup has Shaw playing LCB again ?

Strange considering Maguire was on bench last week and Martinez back in training.

No Rashford ? we're fecked.

 

[Plant0x84]

Nailed on 3 pts for Sir Alex’s birthday- amirite?!!

Garnacho in for Rashford as a late forced change.

Feck sake.

Can see us struggling without Rashford. Anthony is in terrible form and seems to play safe and go backwards so got to rely on Garnacho on the left to drive forward.

[FrankDrebin]

Expecting Anthony to get the ball, stop, do some pointless skill and then pass backwards, throughout the game.

 

[DJ_21]

Close to my predicted line up. Only difference I had was martinez in for Malacia.

That’s the spirit!

Need to get players closer to him on that side to help bring out his strong points. Hopefully see that today!

Yup. And be hauled off around 60 mins for Elanga.

Hopefully he proves us wrong today.

So Martinez doesn't play but Varane being injury prone does. Both played the WC final.

One has trained the other hasn’t?

Martinez has party legs. Pass it on.

What’s up with Rashford?

 

[DomesticTadpole]

What’s up with Rashford?

Don't know. He is on the bench. Maybe felt a twinge and not being risked.

 

[PoTMS]

According to who?

 

[avgp_1]

Garnacho starts

We can beat this lot surel

Don't know. He is on the bench. Maybe felt a twinge and not being risked.

Hope it is just ETH rotating his limited forward options.

Maguire is finished at United.

 

[FrankWhite]

Don't stop believing. Come on Garnacho!

 

[Doracle]

So Shaw at CB again. Maguire presumably still suffering from sickness?

 

[Santoryo]

Game hasn't even started yet and you're already hating and loading for the moan. Amazing.

 

[Chairman Steve]

Mainoo on the bench. Dont think he’ll come on but interesting choice by ETH.

 

[Dannn411]

What's happened to Rashford now?

 

[RedDevilRoshi]

Thanks. Hopefully it’s just a rotational switch by ETH and not a potential injury concern.

 

[evil_geko]

So many people on Twitter crying that Rashford is on the bench, do many of them don't ever use their head? Do they not know the concept of resting players because of tight game schedule? Bloody hell.

 

[Red Royal]

Lindelof and Maguire in bemch behind Shaw...

 

[Doracle]

So Martinez doesn't play but Varane being injury prone does. Both played the WC final.

Martinez didn’t play the WC final. Still understandable he had some time to celebrate but does feel it took a long time for him to come back!

 

[El Presidente]

So Shaw at CB again. Maguire presumably still suffering from sickness?

Think he suffers from not-being-good-enoughness.

 

[Sassy Colin]

No Rashford?
