100% utd will play at least 2 half fit players Fred is one that could easily turn up here despite having a hamstring question. Ronaldo will be a question but imo the guy is ultimate in terms of dedication to his game so he is able in for far as possible to do it. I would say it would be not be possible to leave him out and he would be fine. Rashford I am convinced he will pick again and his leg could go. he's already knackered him once. What i am seeing out there as consensus for thier team seems to be De Gea AWB Lindeloff Maguire Shaw Fernandes Fred* Pogba (are they mad) Greedwood ronaldo Rashford I even see some calling for cavani. that would be absolutely stupid of them as out backline would not be troubled by him in terms of pace. the mancs seem to not be calling for sanco to start and ole doesn't seem to want to play him. I wonder was he bought over his head and he is not supportive? Personally if i were the mancs here i would do this. (shaw has done great on salah every time they've played) ................De gea AWB Lindeloff Maguire Shaw .........Mctominay Matic Sancho....Fernandez....pogpoo. ..................Ronaldo I would actually be looking to win midfield off us unless rashrod/martial is actually fit to go, REALLY fit. Pogba at a sort of free left side role would help them out as the can at least help a bit if he is bothered to with trent. BUT if i knew rashwood was fit i would want him to run behind trent. HOWEVER that atlanta game, rashford never tracked a run. the one thing they have going for them is that shaw has done great on salah every time they've played. he has the pace to do it. Matic is alright to trundle about and kill firmino space
My only worry for the match is if Rashford is fit. He likes to run in behind and we like to a) play a high line and b) leave a huge gap behind TAA (not blaming TAA himself, its the system and we need to fill that hole better when he goes forward). Rashford seems to be a better finisher against us than any other team also! Having said that, with the form out front 3 is in we should still outscore them, but as they say "form goes out the window" when it comes to these types of games. Head says 2-2, heart says 1-5!
I agree. Rashford is one of the bigger dangers. I had almost convinced mysefl we should play gomez instead of matip here but then thought..... naaaaahhhh ronaldo will have him on toast with multiple dives. The issue for me is actually getting a chances as salah hasn't had any change out of shaw. we can't take the debacle of a protest their fans did as a guide last year. we have struggled many times at old toilet.
Fred being injured will be interesting - he’s the lungs of that team and covers for all sorts of things. On such a big pitch, they will have to work some to contain us. I expect an ultra defensive set up with the pace of Rashford lurking for the punts upfield. It’s a style that has undone us before so I’m not as confident as some.
Could take a long shower and watch it on ya phone https://fullmatchesnshows.com/latest-highlights-and-full-matches/
I usually insist on going to the pub to watch it whilst we're away but only here for the weekend so seems a bit too selfish this time We'll see what happens
I can't believe it, Sky Sports have gone for away win. Manchester United 1 :5 Liverpool. Jamie Carragher and Lawro are not so sure !.
90mins for their late lunch and then on the way home seems alright to me. Its 4:30pm kick off sunday so really it's almost dark at that point anyway. What would you be doing otherwise?
I am convinced agent ole will go all out to knacker as many utd players as possible here. We have to remember it's their cup final and they have no league cup to worry about either. 100% they will have fred and rashford in imo. I didnt hear what fernandes has but he will prob start too.
