Good team. Not sure about the pairing of Jones and Carrick in midfield though. I may be in the minority but I always feel we look slightly more assured in defence when Lindegaard plays instead of De Gea.

Rooney will be in midfield in that lineup
4-5-1
decent enough
Fergie has become the tinkerman

I'll go 3-3 then.
I don't understand resting De Gea, Lindegaard has done well but I'd rather we stop messing about with the back 5 and get some understanding between them.
He's on the bench.
We need him against Basel with no Carrick, Anderson and Cleverley.
Anyone got Villas line up?
Heskey broke some keepers nose. Mcleish if he saw de gea would have asked his oafs to target de gea. It would end up being a scrappy game. The one thing I like about lindegaard is he looks to have an evil streak.
Good point. Let's hope we get no injuries in midfield.
Why is he not there for the Basel game?
Suspended.

He's suspended.
suspended - apparently

Is he suspended?
I'm not sure.
Surprised nobody has clarified that Carrick is suspended for the CL game.
I think he might be
Carrick is suspended for Basel.
You know when you look at a word so much and then it just looks wrong?
Suspended.
Suspended.
is he?
Suspenders 
Can someone hurry up and verify whether he's suspended or not, the suspense is killing me.
Carrick is apparently suspended for the CL game in midweek
I thought the game had been suspended. Cnuts.
Can anyone PM with some kind of web address where live pictures of the game might be shown for a Mac?
Yeah he's had three yellows in europe.
Carrick is going to pick up a groin strain in training on Monday I think
Why did ESPN think it was a good idea to recruit John Barnes?
Two of those yellow cards would never even be close to be one in the PL.
I remember reading somewhere that Carrick is suspended.
Why did ESPN think it was a good idea to recruit... well, anybody they've ever recruited.
When they found out Carrick is suspended
I don't see why Lindegaard should play instead of De Gea. There is simply no reason to keep rotating the keepers.
So does this mean Lindegaard plays against Basel?
De Gea needs as much time as possible for United. This is SAF dropping De Gea - very reassuring for the guy.
Aston Villa

Would have lapsed with the Carling Cup game
Villa goes 4-5-1, no surprise.
Please play Nani on the left, he will have a nice day against Alan Hutton.
