I'm nervous now. Very nervous.

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.
Rooney, Young, Jones and Welbeck?
Any idea why all of them are missing? It can't be that all of them decided to injure.
I don't like the idea of both Scholes and Giggs starting, if Young was injured which means that Giggs starts then Cleverley should IMO have started in place of Scholes.
Hoping for the best!

This is great.
I struggle to understand Valencia's continued inclusion in the XI. I hope he proves me wrong and plays brilliantly today but on present form its like playing with 10 men. He's simply gonna pick up the ball and stand there begging for an overlap what use will that be?
Look, no one even knows what's going with regards to injuries etc, atleast wait to find out before moaning your tits off!
Cue the Goal.com headline: 'Roo the day he crossed Sir Alex: is this the end for Wane Ruby (whose career is on the Wayne)?'
Is Powell injured?
Like other posters have said, out of the next three games, this is the one I'd rest players in, especially considering who Newcastle have out. No Gutierrez in addition to Cabaye, Ben Arfa and Tiote is another advantage.
Keep the faith guys.
Scholes and Carrick in midfield seems insane to me, even without Cabaye and Tiote, Newcastle have some pace about them.
Any word on MUTV about the players out of the squad?
Perhaps SAF wants to rest a few players? Am I missing something? I don't love Scholes and Giggs starting with Roo nowhere the squad but SAF may well be resting them and we may win this match? I don't understand people getting worried... Scholes and Giggs are aware of their faults and you do see their performances getting better... I think you will be suprised by this game.
i had this thought today that our lead might be reduced to 1 point, i laughed it off...but now 
West Brom resting both Long and Odemwinge ahead of the United game
This is great.
It's easy to take the high ground and laugh, but on a number of occasions this year the pre match moans about our selections have been justified by dreadful performances.
Likewise, the positivity at other lineups has been equally justified by great displays.
I don't think there is anything wrong with stating that you are worried that our midfield consists of a 38 year old, a 39 year old and a winger who is seriously out of form.
David McDonnell from the Mirror says Rooney and Young got knocks in training yesterday and Welbeck was unwell overnight. Don't know about Jones, but a rest for him would make sense after his injury and two full games at right back.
No, we don't but what are the odds that Rooney, Young, Welbeck, Jones etc all have knocks? We should never have to field Giggs and Scholes in the same line up. Time and time again it's been proven not good enough for a premier league match, hell we even struggle with one of them in the starting line up these days. Valencia continues to start and stink out the place
Odd. You read an awful lot into the words 'This is great'.
Sam Allardyce has banned tackling in training over Christmas, maybe United should ban it too?
We'll be alright. With their problems, Newcastle will probably be looking for damage-limitation at best.
Yep. The newbies is worse:
We'll find out why they're all not in the squad shortly. I just can't see him leaving all of Welbeck, Young, Jones and Rooney out of the squad if they're all fit.
And here we go:

Welbeck is sick

Risky squad, everytime we try something like this we always seem to drop points.
i was expecting a 4 or 5 goal win a few hours ago.
now i'll settle for the 3 points.
now i'll settle for the 3 points.
I'm going to blame the ref.
Surely someone like Macheda could have been put on the bench?
So Rooney, Young and Welbeck got injured/sick at the same time. Our injury luck is amazing.
I did, apologies if I read it wrong?
- critcized other user's opinion.
fecks sake, brilliant timing.
Welbeck has a massive hangover is trending on twitter.
Maybe they mean his quiff.
Wouldn't be surprised if something fishy is going on.
I was laughing at the fact he's put out such a weird line-up with subs to back, and am expecting a lot of entertainment one way or another from the match, it also seems like Fergie is directly trying to wum this forum.
can we just stop training on fridays?
I honestly think Buttner wouldn't be a bad option on the left, he seems to have decent pace and isn't bad at beating his man.
Giggs will probabaly play only 45 minutes on the wing....hope that is where he will play anyways.
Dunno, I think that line-up will give them a boost. They know that Carrick, Scholes and Giggs aren't the most mobile so I'm sure they'll have a good go.
