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.
MUTV suggest that it's a 4-3-3 with Valencia wide right, Hernandez wide left and Rooney through the middle. Fancy Rooney may be left though
We'll be wide open on the left hand side. I hope Blackburn don't choose to attack our left side because without Young, Evra is going to be horribly exposed and he can't really defend much.
Great team otherwise.

No Berba again then
From a mate on twitter: "This is the point where people question why Fergie's playing a certain formation despite not knowing what formation he's playing."
That's possibly a 3 5-2 with Evra and Rafael as wingbacks. Though the 4-3-3 more likely.
Evans has been magnificent in the middle and Jones woeful at centre back so I doubt that's true.
Jones at LB would make more sense to me.
Jones at LB then?
People have been calling out for Evra on the left wing, and having Jones there would be better defensively.
It'll definitely be the 4-3-3 with Rooney wide left, nominally at least. I'd expect him to play the way Silva or Mata does when out wide, which is to say not very wide at all.
Yeh, will be shocked if he breaks up Evans-Ferdinand, it's working, and the fact that it has been so regular has definitely helped De Gea as well
Am a touch surprised by the line-up, but if it's good enough for Ferguson, who am I to argue
I'd be surprised if he gets any more game time other than a farewell sub appearance in our last home game of the season.
Provided the league is decided that is.
Hernandez up front alone in a 451? No no no no no no no!
Blackburn XI: Robinson, Lowe, Dann, Grant Hanley, Martin Olsson, Orr, Pedersen, Nzonzi, Marcus Olsson, Hoilett, Yakubu
It'll be 433, which isn't bad but I don't think we need to do it and as I said if we are I can't understand Hernandez over Welbeck or Young.
If we did that I'd rather Rafael at Left Back.
I would be incredibly surprised if this is the time Fergie has chosen to experiment with a different formation than our regular 4-4-2/semi regular 4-3-3.
I'd say we're playing Rooney wide left in a 4-3-3. A bit strange with Young/Welbeck on the bench though.

Is that 5 at the back for Blackburn?
There's no way Evra's on the wing. Was a disaster last time we attempted that.
Front three of Rooney, Chicho and Valencia is decent. Rooney will mainly be playing centrally but they'll swap round during the game.

This was only Jones is out of position.
Jones on the wing? I don't think so...
Strange...
Hopefully Jones is anywhere but centre half.
It really wouldnt surprise me to see Evra at the wing, he's been great going forward in the last few games. Jones at RB and Rafael at LB would not be too surprising either, though slightly worrying perhaps.
Front three of Rooney Chicharo and Valencia. Jones in midfield.
I don't get the line up. At all.
Maybe Scholes is playing in a more advanced role ?
Happy with the line up SAF knows better than you mugs ...the pub beckons
COME ON UNITED!!!
COME ON UNITED!!!
Jones is the holding midfielder, Rooney is probably out wide.
Yeah, it's probably wrong. More like Jones in midfield, perhaps Chich will be the one on the left. Jones might player in the hole, he was the most advanced midfielder out of 3 when he played at Liverpool.

4-3-3 at Ewood Park is not a surprise. Can't see Rooney starting on the wing, I bet we'll see more of Hernandez there.
We always expect 4-3-3 with Welbeck, not Hernandez, but he also needs games and I don't think it will be a problem for him, he has spent some time on the wing.

It has to be 4-3-3 - no other combination makes any sense. Especially since we have Young, Giggs, Park and even Cleverley as a wing option. Why play Jones as a winger or even Evra.
Park, Giggs, Young, and Welbeck all on the bench but we play Rooney on the left. Makes sense.
Bench: Amos, Welbeck, Giggs, Smalling, Pogba, Park, Young
It's quite clearly:
De Gea
Rafael Ferdinand Evans Evra
Carrick Scholes Jones
Valencia Hernandez Rooney

Carrick Scholes Jones

People DO realise that players have legs and are able to move around the pitch, don't they?
"Hernandez up front on his own" doesn't actually mean SAF has ordered all other players to not go within 20 yards of him at any point...

No clevs?
there is absolutely no way we are playing 3-5-2. We never start with 3 in the back.
