Looking at the Euros, he played way too deep to influence the games attacking wise. So yeah, he gets the ball deep and he can’t take too many risks considering there’s only one midfielder behind him taking care of the counters if he loses the ball.

His job at Euros wasnt even as a Box to box, his manager had him play as a defensive mid

 

[RedCurry]

We should and we will settle this game in the first half. I am confident. I just hope we pick at least one out of Rashford or Martial to start. I don't want to see Miki and Mata on opposite wings, ever again.

Too early for any team news?

Team news leaks will start appearing 5 minutes after lineup predictions close

Didn't Mourinho say Young is going to start tomorrow ?

-------------------DDG-------------------
Valencia-----Jones-----Rojo--------Blind

I think he just said that he'll be picked i.e in the squad.

Said he'd be involved...

Said he'd be involved...

ok i am reverting to standard line up then

------------------DDG--------------
Valencia---Jones-----Rojo-----Blind
Pogba-------Carrick------Herrera
Mikhi------Ibrahimovic----Rashford

(Its a guess between Blind and Darmian, even though i would like to see Shaw again, and schweinsteiger)

 

[Magnus]

I dont care about the lineup, the performance or the result. I just want the players wearing the clubsuite when arriving at OT:-)

 

[BringNaniBack]

Going to absolutely blitz them if Martial starts this game.....I've become a Martial fan boy.

 

[Catt]

We will drop points or win big.

That line up would be perfect.

 

[AndyJ1985]

We will drop points or win big.

Or come away with a dull 1-0

Good to know. We'll watch out.

Two extremes ... can't you stick to the middle of the road ?

I predict a very laboured game with us being constantly frustrated, and Hull looking dangerous from both the counter-attack and set-pieces. I wouldn't be surprised one bit if it eeked off to a 0-0 draw, but I think we will sneak it with a late-ish winner. 1-0 to United (Ibra scoring 78th-minute). We deserve to eek out a home win..we've had too many let downs in that regard.

Hull are a different side altogether. a month ago, I'd have predicted an easy 4-0 home win.

 

[Ban]

Ask @DanNistelrooy

He is in the know?

 

[Catt]

Think it'll be 1-1 or 4/5-0.

 

[Android1974]

I'd say Lingard might miss out with Fellaini and Young being on the bench.

That's my feeling too. Can't see Fellaini left out in a game like this unless there's an injury.

 

[Android1974]

Against Hull? He should play box to box, and have plenty of freedom to get forward with Herrera covering.

Have you even seen Hull play since Marco Martins arrived?

 

[Manny]

I expect Jose to go for...

DDG
Valencia--Jones--Rojo--Darmian
Herrera--Carrick--Pogba
Mikhi---Ibrahimovic---Martial​

[CG1010]

I am actually nervous for this game. If we win the momentum will be with us to get the top 4. If we lose, this might be a fatal blow to our chances.
The last game vs hull wasn't good for us, so its not going to be easy.

 

[Android1974]

Yeah, José kind of gave it away by saying that ”90 minutes on Sunday was a lot for Basti after having not played much” or something like that.

He even said the german was having physical difficulties after the 65-70 minute, which almost nobody noticed.

 

[RedPed]

I've got my pint of Magners ready to either numb the pain or fuel the delirium after this game!

 

[IrishRedDevil]

3 points no excuses.

Martial better start.

I think that covers everything that needs to be said.

 

[Sied]

Nearly time for our weekly game vs Hull

I've got Shaw over Darmian. We may see Mkhitaryan on the left and Mata on the right though.

 

[buckooo1978]

Just a note

Pogba did play box to box in the games Kante played

 

[Lord Zlatan]

Disappointed this isnt on TV tonight....but a win and we are 3 points of second. League is gone but to finish second and lift a cup or two would be a resonable first season for Jose.

 

[Manny]

Feck, forgot about Shaw.

I'm expecting Martial to start despite Jose's comments.

League isn't gone its the 1st of Feb.

 

[Ramshock]

Ask @DanNistelrooy

I think Dan works at OT personally

 

[IrishRedDevil]

Hasn't j0m0 already said he'll be on the bench?

I hope not. Jose gave him a task in the previous game to play well to earn his spot, and Martial responded with a good performance and 2 assists.

He deserves a start and this 'tough love' approach needs to stop.

 

[Hugh Jass]

League isn't gone its the 1st of Feb.

The probability of winning it at this stage is extremely low.

 

[SirAF]

What the crap? The match is not on tv in Norway! What the feck is that shit? That almost never happens

 

[NYAS]

Nearly time for our weekly game vs Hull

Just imagine if we drew them in the 4th round of the Cup instead of Wigan. And got a replay. 5 games against Hull in 20 days.
