very pleased Kagawa starts. Big opportunity or him
Really good lineup. Worried about Evra v Robben but hopefully he'll do well.
But wouldn't he take Scheinsteiger's postition tonight if he were available?
Good line-up Dave
Butterflies!
I feel we can really get at their 2 CB's, Ribery and Mandzukic.
Fantastic team! Well in Moyes.
How will that Bayern side line up?
Not necessarily. Pep really, really loves Lahm in midfield.
If fletcher can put in the same performance he did against Munich last time, we have a great chance.
So I guess Bayern will lineup like this?
Neuer
Lahm Dante Boateng Alaba
Kroos
Robben Gotze Muller Ribery
Mandzukic
If so, very brave from Pep. Could see Kroos as the lone DM getting taken advantage of.Lahm Dante Boateng Alaba
Kroos
Robben Gotze Muller Ribery
Mandzukic
Oh wow. Lahm at right back and Kroos/Gotze as a midfield two. Could be more goals in this than you'd think, for both sides.
The leaked team was correct then. Pretty good line-up, hopefully the lads can step up and get a win.
No Nani, but Young in subs, but overall a very reasonable team. It's the team that the caf loves, so they can't really complain about Moyes in case if we feck this up.
They don't even have a proper holding midfielder!!!
Bit disappointed on Büttner's behalf, his performance in the first game justified a start here, but perhaps better to go with experience.
Good lineup.
Good lineup.
The same team that was leaked then. nice lineup.
Bayern setting up more attacking than I thought, must say,

IF FLETCHER SCORES WE'RE ON THE PITCH!!!! Could not have hoped for a better team selection, well in Moysie!!! I hope that its Rooney uptop and Welbeck and Valencia either side of Kagawa though.
So Pep going all out with
Muller-Gotze
--Kroos--
midfield
no proper DM to speak of. It's a risk..
That Bayern midfield has great technical ability and movement, but much less physical presence than usual. That might really help us when we need to keep the ball a bit.
As for the lineup, does this mean Rooney will be the no. 10 behind Welbeck? Or will it be Rooney up top with Welbeck/Kagawa/Tony behind him? The latter would make more sense I suppose.
Edit: Also, quite glad to Fletcher and Carrick start, I still think it's our best midfield two at the moment.

It'll be the same as last time imo
Great lineup, forced by injuries but still good. Exactly what I was hoping for 
Bayern are all out attack, very vulnerable defensively so we just have to stay firm at the back, because there will be chances in this.

If they win atleast La Liga Real could afford it more than if they do not win a title at all. Same with Barcelona.
I can imagine that Lahm and Alaba stay deeper and that Robben and Ribery will fall backwards into midfield sometimes. Yes - very attacking...
Normally I think the former, but given it's Robben/Ribery out wide I think he'll want Welbeck's defensive contribution over Kagawa on the flanks.
Cue we going 2 down and Moyes putting on Young to get us something!
Any idea of who is on the bench for Bayern?
Good line-up. Happy Fletcher starts in midfield, he's played well and his energy will be needed. I wonder if it's Smalling or Jones at RB? I'd prefer Jones.
Bayern going all for it, there will be chances on the counter and hopefully we can take them.

I hope so, would make so much more sense at both ends of the pitch.
Only one recognised CM on the pitch for Bayern, Pep taking lessons from Tim Sherwood I see.
Hopefully it's Kagawa behind Rooney with Welbeck on the left.
Shame about no Nani, more likely to create something if needed off the bench than fecking Young

On the other hand, having a tall, athletic outlet up front to contest aerial duels and relieve pressure could be important.
Manchester United : De Gea, Jones, Smalling, Vidic, Evra, Fletcher, Carrick, Valencia, Rooney, Kagawa, Welbeck
Bench: Lindegaard, Büttner, Ferdinand, Giggs, Januzaj, Young, Hernandez
Bayern Munich: Neuer – Dante, Ribéry, Mandzukić, Robben, Boateng, Götze, Lahm (C), Müller, Alaba, Kroos
Bayern Munich bench: Raeder – van Buyten, Rafinha, Pizarro, Weiser, Hojbjerg, Weihrauch
Jones on Ribery with Smalling at CB, provides us with a bit more pace than Rio would have given.
Can't even complain about that team, best team we could have put out
@Blackwidow @Balu Has goetze ever had to perform under such pressure for Bayern?

So, who was the leak then? My money is on Buttner.
Raeder - van Buyten, Rafinha, Pizarro, Weiser, Hojbjerg, Weihrauch
He shot the 1:0 when he came in in his first match in Dortmund. I guess the pressure is similar. He has experienced partners...
For the ones that can use a German proxy - the ZDF sport usually shows a livestream between 19:45 and 20:15 from the stadium and the warm-up - without commentator. (German time)
