In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Why make De Gea make this trip to aldershot? We need him on Saturday against Everton. We should have Amos play and Lindegaard on bench.
However I would make make most of Sunday's team travel for this game and watch it in the stands and I'm sure SAF will be asking for alot of goals from us this week.
Surely Lindegaard should play over Amos?
He did well, watch it again.
Lindegaard
Fabio
Jones
Vidic
Evra

Park
Diouf

Its absolutely pointless trying to predict the lineup for tonight's game, it could be anything.
Looking forward to it though, we should get back to winning ways again.

Sir Alex is planning on taking a similar squad to Aldershot to the one that was on duty at Leeds in the previous round of the Carling Cup.
The right blend of youth and experience will be utilised for the EBB Stadium encounter against Dean Holdsworth's League Two side.
"At the moment, I've got a really strong squad," he told MUTV. "We took 23 players to Romania with us and left Rio [Ferdinand] behind because we weren't planning to use him in that game.
"So, with a squad of 24 players, some of them have to have games. Michael Owen and Dimitar Berbatov must have games.
"It'll be similar to what we did at Leeds, really. All [the youngsters involved at Elland Road] will be travelling with us.
"Young players emerge and take someone's position. It's happened time and time again at this club and I've experienced it over my 25 years. You see a young emerging star coming through the youth team, and then comes the Reserves and, before you know it, you say why don't you put this boy in the first team.
"It's down to temperament. That's important, and ability, courage and determination. They're all the factors we need for top players at United."

Can anyone confirm will Morrison be involved?
Why? Amos played. If we are going on a the same team as Leeds then you have got your formation wrong. Carrick was in defence.
De Gea was on the bench, my good sir.
Shame it sounds like some of them are going to get to put thier feet up tonight. This annoys me.
It does me a bit as well. But they will be expected to delivery a huge performance at Everton on Saturday so the expectation on those players is no less.
If anything, it gives them a bit of time for reflection and (hopefully) to see the kids that want to take their place in the first team. They have that little bit longer to stew, lick their wounds and realise that they need to show how much they value their place in the side for Saturday.
This
I'd start: De Gea - Smalling, Ferdinand, Evans, Evra - Nani, Fletcher, Anderson, Young - Rooney, Welbeck.
I'd play every single player who started against City. I know it won't happen, but I'd love to see it. What a move it would be by SAF, to just tell them all get there and fecking sort it. But like I said, it won't happen so here's what I think we'll possibly see:
-------------Lindegaard---------------
Jones----Smalling----Vidic--------Fabio
Valencia---Fletch----Carrick-------Park
----------Berbatov---Owen------------
Subs: Amos, Fryers, Morrison, Pogba, Cole, Keane, Diouf.

I've actually not been this up for a United game in a long time to be honest.
I don't know if it's the kicking we took on Sunday, the fact that we'll likely see our young guns on show, or whatever, but I'm excited.

playing tired players...yeah even if we did get spanked, will only increase the chance of United being humiliated again.
How those players react against Everton will be what counts.
I expect them to do well.
Yeah lets take the opertunity away from our young and fringe players and "punish" the players from Sunday. That way they'll be knackered for Everton aswell.
Great thinking.
Not possible.....Evans is banned.
So do Dimitar get to play as a CB this season? He's basically been our best CB all season so why not.
Really? That's good news anyway, I assume it's a one match ban for a non violent cynical foul? Ideal that he misses this one and not a League match. As much as a lot of people hate him, if Fergie picks him it's for a reason as far as I'm concerned and having players availible to pick is better than not...
Didn't think Premier League bans carried over into League Cup matches.
They do and vice-versa. Cards picked up in Carling and FA Cup matches count towards Premier League as well i.e. if you are on 4 yellows and pick up a yellow in a cup game and next game is in league, banned for the next game.
I don't think we'll know for sure tonight. The start of that Fergie extract didn't fill me with hope, but then he came out with this:
So I think that may just be referring to him. I'm guessing he'll make the bench, and I hope I'm right.
I didn't think SAF indulged in cryptic comments.
A previous post showed he wasn't in the squad, so he won't be playing. Surely its as simple as that?

But where did that squad come from? Nick Coppack tweeted earlier that the club doesn't announce squads for domestic games.
Same here
, I think its the hurt from Sunday so we're desperate to see the lads out there again.Absolutely. I don't give a damn that its only Aldershot. Since Sunday I've developed an increasing hatred for any team but United.
Its only when we lose like we did on Sunday that you realise how hated United are. I've had fans of all teams from all divisions in this country taking digs at me since then.
It makes me feel horribly unsympathetic towards fans of any other team. I don't care if its "only" Aldershot. No doubt their fans were all having a massive laugh at our expense on Sunday too. Lets absolutely waste them. Them and every other team in England!
The squads published are bollocks.
Morrison tweeted 'excited about tomorrow' yesterday so that might be the clearest hint he's involved tonight. We'll see.

Nick Coppack:
Confirmed: Tom Cleverley has travelled to Aldershot with Manchester United.
No other information regarding the travelling squad at this time, I'm afraid.

My thoughts precisely. Lets just batter them tonight.
I'd love to see Pogba, Cleverley & Morrison all get a run.
Yep, fecking shocking, had an "Arsenal fan" on facebook with the status "Balotelli, Balotelli", whilst they were beating Stoke. The fecker wasn't even watching Arsenal, his excuse was "it wasn't on tele".
I thought it was pretty common knowledge really. The reason why we find out the squads early on in Europe is because our in house reporters often check who boards the flight etc.
If Pogba doesn't start tonight then there is no hope for him, perfect game
Rafael too i've heard.
Well that's a bit dramatic, isn't it?
