I was hopeful he would stay... but after reading Fergie's comments today it looks like he is likely to be off in the summer, should there be an offer.

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.
Well Fergie would, allegedly anyway. In the morning papers saying he expects him to leave in the summer because he cannot guarantee him first team football.
There you go. My bad.
I've decided we're going to win this with a 30 yard screamer from Pogba in the 93rd minute. Believe.
Very interestng, one striker for the first time in a long time.
I don't see too much goals in this team to be honest.
To be honest I'd have been much happier if we'd rested Rooney, Carrick and Rio for the Wolves game. Will Rio manage to play a 3rd game at the weekend for this week?

Well if any of us needed proof that we really are taking this seriously, there it is, full strength side when we have a tough game at Wolves this weekend.

I guess we'll have to wait and see whether its Park or Giggs wide.
I hope and presume its Park on the right and Giggs behind Rooney, but Fergie may opt for Parks energy in the middle.

I'd bet money he will, he's done it already this year.
Official lineup
Strange looking bunch. The black guy on the right with the red tie is a snappy dresser - matching hanky.
That's a worry. I'll take any result as long as there are no injuries.
I don't believe it will, since this isn't our best winger combination, and if Rooney can't get enough support, than it's unrealistic to expect some great game from him. Tbh, I am not expecting too much from Park since we all know this season he isn't close to his best.
We'll see, if Park, Young and Giggs put good performance, then it's up to Rooney.
Probably Park, and I hope Young plays on the left where he seems much better. Park doesn't play on the right much but I'm sure he'll be fine.
Good team imo.
Need 5 in midfield and Park is playing because his energy is important against the fast and tireless Bilbao.

We'll go out after a 40 yard Pogba screamer of an OG before he lifts his shirt over his head to reveal a Juventus shirt and does a lap of honour with his cock out.
SUBS: Amos, Smalling, Fabio, Scholes, Pogba, Hernández, Welbeck.
No Valencia

What's the Bilbao line-up? Are they at full strength?
Yep.
Iraizoz, Iraola, Martínez, Amorebieta, Aurtenetxe, Iturraspe, Herrera, De Marcos; Susaeta, Llorente, Muniain.
1-2 ft
We'll go 0-5 by HT so we can take some players off to rest them for weekend.
Well good to see SAF fielding one strong line up, I think that's not good news for all the people who wanted us to just throw away this match.
7pm here. Good for me.
We will win.
Should have told him that last summer really. He was probably hedging his bets in case Welbeck flopped.
If they score first - it's probably all over. If we score first - bums will squeak.
Must score first. 3 goals is a big ask away.
We'll probably have to score 3 goals as I don't really see us keeping a clean sheet.
We will score 4.
God they really are basque aren't they?
Nobody wants us to just throw this away. Most fans seem to either want us out (albeit not just tossing it off) or want us to win it.
We still have chance to score away goals whereas they don't. That's a positive, isn't it?! Bums will squeak nonetheless. Can't wait KO really. Come on United.
Man Utd 4-0 50/1 4-1 40/1
I'm steering well clear or any betting. Could be any scoreline.
We'll concede today. Would you take extra time and penalties considering the Wolves game 48 hours later?
I'd be fecked off beyond belief if this one goes to penalties. Or ET for that matter.
Bilbo looked quite average at the weekend.
Had a few players missing and the rest were understandably knackered from Thursday.
Closer to 3 days.
Good strong team , let's make it a memorable night.
