Any chance someone has IPad friendly links. Am in Hong Kong at the moment and stuck in the hotel room due the typhoon dropping in. All places are closed. Would really, really appreciate some IPad friendly streaming links.

Why no rafael? He played last week right? Is it because of height or did he injure himself again?
We couldn`t play Kagawa behind Rooney? I guess Young will be have to have his workrate off the charts to explain this.
I would love to see Chicharito in the starting eleven, but in second half with Nani or Shinji and him would be brilliant.

Do you hope both of them play badly or just Young?
Very worried about Navas' pace against Evra, I think he will cause us all sorts of problems. Thank feck Giggsy isn't in the squad, I was almost expecting him to even start.
Disappointing we're missing, RVP, but well, come on UNITED.

Hope we're going for a win today, not that shite we did against Chelsea at home
Rooney's gonna need to continue his good form today. We've depended on Van Persie to be our matchwinner too often. Still a very good team from us with strong options on the bench. We can do this,
Are you joking? There's a reason opposition fans sing "Nani are you ok?"
Just because you don't agree with one player (I too don't think young should start) in the team, doesn't mean he is going negative.
And nani/kagawa on the wings... So 7 of the 11. It's a solid team, but has no creativity at all. Looks almost as if moyes is going there for a draw.
Content? I do appreciate you putting such a brave face on it, but VP being out is a massive blow!
If only we could bloody put our best line up out in a big away game for once.
Let's see how the game goes first though!
Giggs has been completely frozen out in recent weeks.
Negative he has got two wingers and two forwards away to City? Dress it up to suit yourself though! Going negative would have been to put Cleverley in for RVP and play 451-433!
Well good thing is that we have some players to bring on from bench.
Yeah, with RvP out, that lineup is pretty much expected. No Giggs but people still find something to complain about as per.
Yeah, it wasn't like Chelsea parked the bus or anything.
Probably because we got Valencia to cover at right back, whilst we dont really got anyone to cover at left back if we suffer any injuries.
Young was good against City away last season. He even had a goal unfairly chalked off. He'll work hard and all that, but I'd still prefer Nani or Kagawa. A player with guile to just have a go at them.
Not so confident about the lack of Robin. He's a man who will force a goal out of nothing more than anyone else in our team. Hopefully Rooney is on top form.

It was Fabio last week
Not too worried about RvP missing because we've got Rooney but pretty worried about the zero creativity from the wings. Would have liked to see Nani start on one of the wings to support Rooney.
It was Fabio who played, not Rafael. Rafael's fit according to himself on Instagram now, but he hasn't played in a while. Smalling'll be in because of the height probably.
Last time I checked we were all in agreement that Kagawa is not a left winger. That is why he is not playing. Young will offer support to Evra, likewise Valenica on the other side.
Its a slightly negative line up, but probably sensible too.

Basically anyone over Young. Stick an unfit Nani/Kagawa in and they still will be able to create more than Young. Heck, even stick Welbeck on the left and Hernandez up front or an extra midfielder and we would be more dynamic in our attack. Ashley Young annoys the hell out of me.
They could have parked a paper plane and we wouldn't have gone for it
I can see that front 4 of Valencia, Young, Rooney and Welbeck counter-attacking at pace.
It's not all doom and gloom guys!

Negative is going for 2 wingers who are more praised for their defensive work then attacking creativity, and then choosing welbeck for his work rate over a goalscorer like Hernandez. Then putting a centre back in at right back, and one who is awful going forward and with the ball.
Good lineup given the circumstances.
That was Fabio.
It's all upto Rooney to make this happen for us.
Welbeck is just back from an injury.
Young will not get past his man he just cuts inside.
Lets hope Valencia attacks his fullback.

And yet you'd still complain if he starts
Don't think that was a complaint, just an observation.
What's negative about it? Carrick-Fellaini proved to add good balance to our midfield against Bayer Leverkusen, Young has been in good form recently and Valencia seems to get played regardless by both Moyes and Fergie. He must know where the bodies are buried or something.
I think Young is alright and will do a sound job today but the issue is that with Van Persie out we have very little magic going forward, barring Rooney. If we had Nani in there, we'd still have enough solidity and functional players to compensate if he's on a shit day but we'd have more potential to win the game.
Cheeky bet on Rooney missing a penalty if Webb awards us one.
Young apart that is some severe physicality and height we have in our team today!
He's hardly been frozen out though. In my opinion, he is being played as much as a 40 year old outfield player should be played in the Premier League.
We need to defend exceptionally well to give them a chance to counter though.
Hasn't Hernandez had an injury, a derby game isn't a great game for someone who isn't 100% match fit. I think he will start against Liverpool. Same with Nani.
Why exactly did we give Nani a new contract then...
I agree that both Young and Val have done well. But I reckon both will be on a short chain today, and that is OK.
