Lots of movement in the team. I also like the fact players are actually playing in their natural positions.

Good team, can't complain really,
Where the hell is Kags? 
This is the most balanced team hes started this season tbh. Wingers on the side based on their foot. This should give us width rather than the predictable always cut inside. And a RB that is actually a RB. And midfielders who are mobile and can keep possession.
There are no excuses, this is all on the players now.

Liking it, though what's wrong with Evans?
This is more like it, We need to bang in a few from open play to get the confidence up. Hopefully this team will create a few chances for RVP, he looked very lonely against Shaktar.
We really need to win this, not even a draw will do.
Liverpool win. Rodgers says: "We're not getting carried away. I think we could win the octuple."
Well...... David Moyes isn't at home ..........
Kagawa has done nothing to deserve a starting place, been pretty poor so far despite the hardon for him here! This line up is perfect! Haven't been as excited about a young player like Januzaj since Ronnie, I s'pose!
If you've sen his performance for the u21s on monday then you'll know why Adnan is being picked. He's not yet settled in the first team obviously, but he has shown what he brings when he is settled through his performances at u21. He completely orchestrated every attack on Monday, there was a chance created nearly every time he had the ball. We need to get him comfortable in the first team and he'll probably go on to become our star man.
Mad Winger (poster) will have a heart attack watching Adnan in the team ahead of Kagawa.
Where the hell is Kags?
On the bench, along with 6 other United players. Who gives a shit about the others though. Poor Shinji.
Agreed, but if Sunderland are going to beat us, today's the day. Long trip back from the Ukraine, key players missing, the need to impress the new man in charge up there. It won't be as easy as some people are suggesting.
Why's Smalling the only defender when we could have put Fabio in for Giggs or Valencia on the bench
Rio's injured.
Such a ballsy team. It's exciting, dangerous and has the potential for some fluent football. There can be no excuses today.
God help these players if they don't get those 3 points.

United don't want to lose Adnan the same way as Pogba. Giving him games as an enticement him to sign a contract.
Young's not even on the bench, excellent. Don't expect to see him again this season barring an injury crisis and Carling Cup games.
Evans, Fabio and Zaha must have about 2 appearances between them.
It'll still be Moyes' fault....
I'd hope that's not the only reason we're playing him tbh.
Unfortunately I didn't get to see the u-21 match on Monday so, I cannot make a comment. However, from what I have seen already in his few performances he has made this season, I believe he has done enough to warrant a place against Sunderland. It is the ultimate compliment for a player who has played only a few minutes. I said it in a matchday thread before, the last time I was excited watching a player was in the days of Giggs when he was younger and then Cantona.
They just showed the table on Sky Sports the cnuts
He's also good.
Cheer up, we go top half with a win.They just showed the table on Sky Sports the cnuts
Januzaj to get his first goal today.

Pssh. A win today will see us climb up to the lofty heights of.. About 8th or 9th!
I am not sure about that Sultan. I believe that Moyes has seen enough to be convinced to start him in a full premier league game, albeit against Sunderland. The fact that we are not saying that Moyes is "risking his future by playing a youngster", speaks volumes about the confidence we have in Adnan to do well.

Haven't looked at the table yet, I usually don't bother looking closer at it until November/December.
That's a great lineup, looking forward to see Jones playing where he should be.
Confident about this one.
Excited about Januzaj but Shinji really does look out of favour now.

Sunderland:Westwood, Celustka, O'Shea, Roberge, Colback, Cattermole, Ki, Johnson, Gardner, Giaccherini, Altidore.
Subs: Cabral, Larsson, Wickham, Cuellar, Mannone, Ji, Borini.
In case anybody is interested.
Wes brown is out injured. He has only made the bench once this season.

Load of cack.
Great to see Adnan starting. Is Evans injured? I'd have him as my first choice CB to partner Vidic.
Schmeichel on Sky. I thought this was meant to be Jamie's show? I guess sky have realised how shit he is.
Should be fun. Looking forward to it now.
I'm still going to be happy with a draw but that line up has put faith in me, we're going for the win here and I'm very happy about that as I genuinely thought we'd set up defensively again.
