Manchester United @ManUtd · 44m The #mufc boss says nine players are still out injured, although @LukeShaw3 "is fit enough to play some minutes" and make his debut vs QPR. Manchester United @ManUtd · 42m Boss: "Fellaini is more than a month away, Jones maybe three weeks or a month. Carrick isn't ready but has run for the first time on grass." Manchester United @ManUtd · 39m Van Gaal: "Johnstone has elbow problems, Smalling isn't fit enough, Wilson and James are not ready yet. Young and Lingard are also injured." How will they play 3 at the back with Jones and Smalling injured? Maybe we'll be coming up against 442
One of their fans thinks they'll play this, with Falcao coming on from the bench: It'll be a shame if we've prepared to play against 3 at the back for two weeks, only to come up against 4. At least that defence doesn't look the most watertight
Our chances are quite good if Blind Herrera plays in midfield. Apparently his guide dog prefers playing on the wing.
Van Gaal only plays 3-5-2 when he thinks he has a weak team like Holland in the WC, his preferred formation (at Ajax, Barca and Bayern) is 4-3-3.
Got to say, one day Manure are going to put a ream to the sword. I fear it could be Sunday. Ho hum!!!
