2017 Pre Season | Vålerenga vs Manchester United

Is that your 'you'll know why I played Smalling and Lindelof in a few days', then? Bailly and Jones starting today, and then Smalling and Lindelof again against Madrid?

Yep that's definitely what he meant. I hold my hand up I interpreted that wrong
 
Lindelof and Bailly have never played together even once during the preseason till now. In fact I think they're the only pair who was never tested at all!
 
He just said about TFM and is he going to play the first game, I think Valencia will have something to say about that. The last part of the comment about 5 players was me not him.

I thought he was him with that 5 players. :lol: Well fair enough.

It'll be De Gea for Romero, Matic for Fellaini, Martial/a new LW for Mata, Darmian for Blind and Lukaku for Rashford. Yep it's 5 players apart.

The side looks good on the midfield but playing both Mata and Mikhi on the flanks together gonna only succeed if you have absolute beasts of fullbacks attacking, something we heavily lack.

The play will be condensed and crowded in the midfield.

Herrera will come in for Fellaini. Matic has not yet signed and has not had any pre-season, as he was left behind by Chelsea.

I'm talking in general, about our best XI that will start the season against WHU. Matic will feature in our last preseason game and I hope he's not completely out of fitness.
 
Playing 4 at the back 1st half and switching to 3 at the back at half time. Interesting
 
That's giving Paddy far too much credit, he just hasn't got a clue what's going on.
Paddy is a good man but I do get the feeling the dosy old bugger doesn't know what day it is half the time.
 
Mourinho seems quite intent on this 3-5-2 thing.

We'll be well equipped for it with Matic and possibly Perisic. Valencia and Perisic would make a set of great WB's in that formation.

Is this being televised? I assume MUTV will have it, but will it be available anywhere else?
