For United maybe. I think they are better against us without old slow guys since they'll be playing on the counter.

I agree with that. Teams with fast counter attackers are our Achilles heel. I’d rather they had CRonaldo strolling around

Cavani was back in training last I heard. Maybe he’s had a setback.

The PR37 angle comes from him not being seen last night.

MUEN and all other football websites running with the story.

It’s either true or one of the biggest derby day lies ever by Rangnick and United.

Manchester United possible line up without Cristiano Ronaldo vs Man City

Man United may well be without Cristiano Ronaldo, Raphael Varane, Luke Shaw and Edinson Cavani against Manchester City.

Elanga probably unless he goes with a 4-2-2-2 with Pogba and Bruno in midfield

I think it might be:

De Gea
Wan Bissaka
Lindelof
Maguire
Shaw
Mctominay
Fred
Bruno
Pogba
Rashford
Sancho

Apparently Shaw is out injured so it’ll be Telles

“May well be” is press speak for “here’s a story for you to click on.”

I hope everybody is fit and we smash them a new arsehole.

 

[Ashleymcduff]

Ronaldo and Cavani out.

Rashford, Sancho, and ? as attackers?

If City can’t stop that United attack, then we might as well hand the title to the Scousers.

Sancho vs cancelo is out only worry

Be mind games for sure , like we are going to not be prepared for hoof ball whoever is up front , the thing is our high line gets caught out all the time , hope we are slightly deeper and joao doesnt go walkabout

 

[Lauz9888]

Teams that play on the counter worry me as it's the main thing we get caught out by.

Got to stifle them like we did at their place. Keep the ball, slow the pace, pass them to death and have them chasing shadows.

For me this is the line-up for that kind of match:

Ederson
Walker
Stones
Laporte
Cancelo
Rodri
Bernardo
Gundogan
Mahrez
Foden
Grealish

With De Bruyne, Sterling, Jesus etc on the bench as potential game changers if we need them.

Sancho vs cancelo is out only worry

Could end up being more of a worry for them.

 

[Kinkladze 1]

I can only see an easy victory. 2 or 3-0.
