Man United (H) | Pre-Match Thread

[GaudinoMotors]

I'm always wary of united, as despite what a lot will say on here there's a lot of quality in their squad and they're very capable (am I also right in thinking that we haven't scored against them from open play in 4 games when maguire has played?), but we're flying and they look goosed. I think we'll score 3

A wary 3.

 

[Ric]

Would be shocked. He only started jogging again recently.

McTominay will start and expect their midfield to include Rat Boy and Fred.

Maybe Greenwood from the start.

That's a bonus if he doesn't play. Guess it'll be something like this:

Henderson
Wan-Bissaka
Maguire
Lindelof
Shaw
McTominay
Fred
Fernandes
Greenwood
Rashford
Cavani

They haven't rotated that much in the league, which might explain why they've looked dead on their feet in recent weeks.

All he does is jog, so it appears he is match fit for Sunday then

Yep, that's the team I also expect.

Rashford on the left and Greenwood wide right, Cavani down middle.

They really can't afford to go for it, so it will be another tight affair unless we do score early.

No use us blowing our load with another game in midweek and think Pep will set us up pretty much like the semi-final win, keep it careful and wait for our openings.

I would start Foden.

Madness solksjaer starting fernandes rashford (I think) when already 4 up against sociedad.

They've got us, Milan twice, Leicester and West Ham in the space of 14 days. It's looking like they'll grind to a halt. Fernandes and rashford been run into the ground and solksjaer relies on them running round like headless chickens. They're there for the taking. I hope we take them to the cleaners. Drag them all over the show then hit them where it hurts

Haha - but they will need him more for their top four run-in, can't see risking him.

Also seems to be discontent in the camp. The other night Maguire could be heard shouting to Rashford to stop running offside, who duly replied 'Shut the fuck up!'

 

[TonyM]

Shaw has vastly improved and is playing consistently well TBF.

Has he? I only see a funny walking MASSIVE chest with a sour head mouthing off on top.

 

[mac]

I’m fortunately going to be at the match so if you over heat some delirious screaming as each goal goes in that will be me, I hope we smash them.

Can I come as well . I can hold your hose. Or polish your bell.

Seems from RedCafe that Rashford is more of a FFS than our FFS. Especially since our FFS has been shaking off the FFS tag and their FFS is truly shit.

 

[Ric]

Apparently his partner is pregnant and it might be a situation like David Silva's. No one knows exactly so probably best not to joke about it.

His wife gave birth this morning, and De Gea posted a picture on Twitter so presumably all is well.

Nice.

FFS

 

[SidJames]

Obviously i hope we smash them.

I wouldn't be surprised if Noddy goes for a back 9 and it finishes 0-0 though.

He seems to get off on 0-0.

For sure we will be the only team trying to win.

Can you imagine any of our players speaking to each other like that on the pitch, let alone the captain?

We think it's out of order when KDB gestures too much.


Maguire (after an aimless lump upfield) "OH Rashy!!!"

Rashford - "What do you want me to do? Shut the fuck up, fucking knobhead.""

Maguire "Fucking get back onside!"

Haha - yep, that's the one.

I'm sure they are all pals again, use it for fuel this weekend.

You are right though, if Rashford said something like that to Vinny, he would have put him in the ground.

 

[eversince 76]

We are way better and there’s not one player of theirs suited to clinch a place in our squad.

However I do remember when we lost 2-3 at home in 2018 when we could’ve won the league that day. Or any other game we lost to that lot over the past 12 years.

Have, do and always will hate that club. That’s why I will be nervous. As ever.

A bit like when talking to the police authorities in Greece

Hold my bucket of sand pal for all I care, just wish it was packed full of blues.

I'd take Phil the Face.
