Can tiny, giant-killers United, with their team of postmen and bus drivers, compete with mega-rich City with their 22 full internationals (all world-class) who are paid a minimum of 500k a week?

They play like a team of postmen and bus drivers, infact that's probably a bit unfair on pm/but, hopefully we get to highlight this to the watching world audience.

I agree, he didn't seem arsed on Sunday.

If fit, this would be my team, with Foden and Alvarez first off the bench.

Ortega
Walker
Stones
Dias
Akanji
Bernardo
Rodri
Gundogan
KDB
Haaland
Grealish

100% and if all fit I’d say for the week after as well with the exception of Ederson.

Antony: Manchester United winger 'probably will' be fit for FA Cup final

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag says winger Antony will "probably" recover from an ankle injury in time for Saturday's FA Cup final.

Maybe just mind games

Who fucking cares he's absolutely shite.

We all love little Phil but he’s arguably the player most likely to give the ball away if we’re playing our full strength team. Mahrez retains possession very well. The kick n rush rags have only one tactic - steal the ball in front of their 18 yd line and hoof it for Rashford.

On that basis I’d sooner see Mahrez on the team sheet than Phil

Would happily see either of them. They're both good players. But for possession, Bernie beats them both hands down. There's no contest.

Dias and Grealish haven't trained for 10 days, but should be fine for the FA Cup. Hope they still have the rhythm

Last week we would have twatted em. Two weeks training to get, or keep our rythmn and intensity is a big big job for Pep.

Akanji missing out is a big call.

Akanji has to start for me.

If Dias is fit, I can see it being Akanji or Stones at right back. Same for Istanbul. You could argue Walker may be needed for Rashford, but let them worry about us first.

I could keep up with Rashford unless he's a mile offside...

Gomes, palmer and Mahrez to start? -:)

I know we all love to hammer the rags and win the treble but it’s good preparation for inter regardless.

The champions league means everything now. Fuck the rags.

Fuck that. I'd rather smash the rags.
