I'd take this with a pinch of salt tbh

why would they play Smalling and leave out Scholes and Berbatov too?
Evans is injured and Brown is shit. Can't believe they'd leave Berbatoss out though I'll be happy if they do. Was the "little weasel" playing for Mexico last night?

think this is a ploy to make us open up, but i'd stick with 4-5-1 regardless.

I wouldn't believe anything about their team selection until 12.45 on Saturday when they come out and line up against us.

van der Sar; Rafael, Smalling, Vidic, Evra; Nani, Fletcher, Carrick, Anderson, Giggs; Rooney
Wouldn't surprise me too much, to be honest - he always goes 451 in the big games, so that means one of Berbatov or Rooney have to make way (he tried Rooney on the left against Blackpool and it was awful). It would be pure folly to line up 442 against De Jong, Barry and Toure, with Silva coming into the middle (and Tevez dropping deep, if Dzeko starts).
With Ferdinand out, Smalling's a (slightly) better option than the uber-shite Jonny Evans. It would surprise me if Scholes was left out, though.
If they play a 451, however, then we'll have to too - there can be no front three of Silva, Tevez & Dzeko. The bodies in the middle will need to be matched, which means both De Jong and Barry can't track the fullbacks as usual, which means Milner/Kolarov on the left watching Rafael.
I'd much prefer if Utd went 442, but we've still got better quality in every area. We can win this, without necessarily being too attacking.
