Manchester City v Manchester United

Wow.

Millions and millions and multi-millions later and that's still an average side.

Most of those players have been part of average sides, and the players themselves have all been hyped up. I only believe Silva, Yaya and Kompany are any good.

The backline is astonishingly average - never a title winning defence. And the forwards are nothing to rave about.

And James fecking Milner :lol:

Hart is a very good keeper, De Jong is good in his role as a destroyer and link man, and Balotelli is mental but can be very, very good if he wants to be. Aguero's on the bench.
 
Man Utd team: De Gea, Smalling, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra, Nani, Carrick, Anderson, Rooney, Welbeck.

:drool: very pleased with that, although would have preferred a twin at RB but Smalling has the height and is good going forward. Would have preferred Berbatov up front too but Welbeck has done well in preseason.

Carrick :lol: Shows nobody can believe Fergie about anything :cool:
 
Looks like Fergie has decided this is Welbeck's year. Feel bad for Berbatov again though.

Hmm, is it:

de Gea
Smalling Ferdinand Vidic Evra
Nani Carrick Anderson Young
Rooney
Welbeck
or

de Gea
Smalling Ferdinand Vidic Evra
Carrick Anderson
Young
Nani Rooney Welbeck​

or both? xD
 
Really hope Welbeck gets a flying start on this year. He's something totally different to any other striker out there. He's like a well-timed DeFoe or something.
 
Smalling showed during pre-season he's very solid at RB and his height can help us. Good to see Welbeck as well(poor Berba), I think he's gonna have a great game today. Carrick fit, love Fergie.

What a debut for Dave. 90,000 people at Wembley. Fingers crossed.

It will be the first one. That's not a position I can see Young being used in.

Looks a very good side on paper. Thrilled Welbeck is getting a start and Anderson is being given centre stage.
 
Interesting to see that Smalling starts at RB ahead of both the twins, a sign of things to come?
 
Stupid sexy Smalling.
