Would be highly unlikely but I'd love to see:

Hart

Zab. Vinny. Nasty. Clichy

Fernandinho. Yaya

Jesus. Silva. Jovetic

Aguero

Reasoning:
No point in having the big fellas up top, vidic will clean up in the air. The movement and pace of that interchanging top 4 cannot be defended by united as for all of their qualities they lack the mobility in central areas and intelligence in wide areas to nullify the threat. I'd be looking especially to exploit the gaps between rio / vidic and evra with navas' pace and let silva thread ball after ball through to Sergio and jovetic. If unsuccessful negrado on to bully rio.

Would be great if clichy and silva could make it. For all of kolarov's assets, his pace and positioning is easily exploited by a team with pace and good passing ability, two of their strengths.

With that team I'm going 4-1

Vidic isnt close to the player he was , horrid skinny got
 
We've had the better of the rags recently (bar that blip last year) and Nasri's been impressing so I'd go for this, Navas and Negredo on off the bench if it's going pear shaped:

__________________Hart

Zabaleta__Kompany__Nastasic__Kolarov

_________Y.Toure__Fernandinho

_Silva____________________________Nasri

____________Aguero__Dzeko

Silva likely to start?

I don't think he should.

Not only do I think this game is too big of a game to come straight back into after a two week injury, but I also think Nasri has cemented his place in the first XI at this moment.

I think Nasri on a whole has been better than David since those Chelsea games in The States in my opinion.

Sam I know that you have advocated this a couple of times. Kudos to Samir for his game against Plzen, but when it comes to the critical games against top teams, I am 99% certain that Manuel will pick Merlin ahead of Nasri.

Silva is a big game player. I am not yet convinced that Samir has proven that. So for me I would definitely pick David if fit, and I am convinced that Manuel will do the same.

Yeah I do agree with that mate.

If Silva is performing straight away in training this week then get him in, he is simply our best creative option on his day.

I am just thinking form with Nasri, it has seemed a rare occasion to see Nasri consistently in good form, but I guess having both players available ready to perform then we are all good either way.

Would you play them both, or would you go with with Silva and Navas? Or would you go with someone else other than Navas and Nasri?
