FA Cup Final | United (N) - Sat 3rd June 15:00 | Pre-Match Thread

I think certain are

Ortega
Walker
Stones
Dias
Rodri
Gundogan
De Bruyne
Grealish
Haaland

Then perm Ake/Akanji and Foden/Mahrez/Bernardo

Heard from someone that works at City that at training today Akanji was LB. But let’s see.

Martinez out for them

The worry as always with this lot is their pace on the break.....Rashford, sancho, and I reckon that the kid Garnacho will start as well.....he looks like he could be a very decent player and that sort of player that can stick one in the top corner from 25yds out......the danger for us is the quick turnover as I think Ten Harg will be happy to concede possession and play on the break.

I think 10 of our starting 11 are obvious...with the only question is who plays on the left of defence....Ake or Akanji...Ortega we know will be in goal (which does affect our build up slightly as his kicking aint anywhere near as good as Edersons (though he is probably a better shot stopper) - other than that it will be the team that beat Madrid and Arsenal I reckon.

Looks like the team are flying tonight at 9pm to Luton then to the hotel.
Late night surely?

Absolute fucking mauling

The Title is number one priority. This is number 2 for anyone who inhabits the same space as these unsufferable rag twats. If we win this I think we'll do the treble at a canter .

Premier league always.

Play like we did v "European Royalty" and they ain't getting near us - hope we do a Watford to them and the press have no reason for anything but praise for our football.

Got a deep sea on 6-0 at 125/1.

More nervous than when we played Real at home (and away). But I’m absolutely in the camp that wants this one over the CL. Then again if we win this one it’s the best ever preparation for the CL final.

Other than Ortega I wouldn’t be surprised if the same 10 players turn out as when we played Real.

Hope to see the Poznan back when their players will be shown on the screen. Alias 2011. I will be up for that anyways. Let’s beat this lot. Don’t give them and the media the satisfaction.
