In a back three with wing backs you'd have to have Jones instead of Young.
Yes, Jones is ****e but at least he's a defender. Young isn't and he definitely can't play in a back three.

With a three man midfield of McTominay, Herrera (hopefully) and Pogba we'd need a pace outlet up front so has to be Rashford and Martial.
If Herrera doesn't play and Matic has to, would consider Mata a midfield option instead of McTominay.

Whether Ole does is another matter of course.

You should visit the United board, we do talk about football over there sometimes.

I can’t remember who it was but I’m sure he’s played Young at centre half and Dalot RWB recently.

Including Jones is suicide.

Reckon if we get a draw tonight we'll win the last three games and scrape fourth.

If we lose, we're out of it and if we win we definitely get fourth.

The big game in the top four race is on Sunday, if we beat Chelsea then we eliminate them essentially.
Both them and Arsenal are in a huge stick or twist situation with the EL, which helps us massively.

A draw would suit Liverpool of course and keep it proper tight for who is champions, City not having CL semi as a distraction.

Should be a great end of season all round.

Well, not if Liverpool win the league obviously but you get my point.

I reckon United need to win all 4 to have any chance of top 4.

Arsenal have Wolves, Leicester & Burnley away and Brighton at home. I’d fancy them to take at least 8 points there.

Chelsea have us and Leicester away and Watford at home, I’d fancy them to take at least 6 points from those games.

If United take 10 points from 4 games (draw with City and win the rest) and Arsenal/Chelsea get the points I have predicted then the table finishes up with Arsenal on 74 points, United on 74 with worse GD than everyone else and Chelsea on 73.

Spurs should be nailed on for 3rd.

They won't be looking forward playing us ... we've already beaten City at ours and Chelsea away ... we seem to enjoy playing the top teams more than the strugglers

I wonder what the odds would be on Spuds coming 4th in a 3 horse race.

I remember him playing there but don't recall it as much of a success really.

Wasn't it PSG 2nd leg, when he had Bailly outside of him and Bailly was run ragged and substituted, before Young went to his wing back position?

Maybe Rojo better bet than Jones then? One of them will be sent off if they play anyway!!

It does look likely but, when you consider they have the EL semi finals to contend with, two wins, one draw and a loss is equally likely.

Arsenal are gash away from home, as they’re piss weak when put under pressure & without home advantage.

Cantona is trending on Twitter because of a video he's posted. I'm not posting the video here, you'll have to find it for yourselves.
 
All I want to see is our players turning up tonight, They owe us a performance after that crap against Everton last Sunday.
