Good team, but mostly players that need game time. Would've been nice to see some younger players but this is the smart move.

 

[12OunceEpilogue]

Nice. I thought Shaw would be starting though, give the fecker at least 45 Jose!

 

[Fully Fledged]

9/11 I had Shaw and Fellaini in for Mata and Blind.

 

[IrishRedDevil]

9/11.
Was hoping to see Shaw start and thought Mata would have been rested for Fellaini.

Good team though.

 

[ManUtd1999]

11/11, just had a feeling Mata would start

I wonder if Mata starting means he will be dropped on Saturday to play with 3 midfielders...

 

[#07]

Disappointed that Shaw and McTominay aren't starting.

 

[Buchan]

4-0 United. That front three (Martial, Rashford & Lingard) is exciting.

 

[Android1974]

I'm glad A.Pereira was loaned, otherwise we might have an attacking midfielder on the bench.

 

[prtk0811]

Urh.. 10/11 again. Expected shaw.

 

[lsd]

I'm glad A.Pereira was loaned, otherwise we might have an attacking midfielder on the bench.

He went on loan against Jose's advice, whatever happens him in his career he made the decision noone else

 

[roseguy64]

Got 10/11. Had Shaw starting instead of Blind.

 

[Android1974]

9/11 I had Shaw and Fellaini in for Mata and Blind.

The thing is, with Fellaini instead of Mata, would Mourinho change to 4-3-3 at home with Burton?

 

[prtk0811]

I'm glad A.Pereira was loaned, otherwise we might have an attacking midfielder on the bench.

He would have played instead of mata.

 

[AltiUn]

Rashford and Martial both starting essentially means we aren't going to score, who's going to come off the bench to save us?

 

[roonster09]

Was hoping Shaw would start, apart from that it was expected team except Mata. Hopefully Shaw and McTominay gets full 45 mins in the second half.

 

[el3mel]

Well that's Jose destroying my line up prediction.

Very strong line-up, though. Will be an entertaining game.

 

[Mibabalou]

We should play really well tonight!

 

[Android1974]

Rashford and Martial both starting essentially means we aren't going to score, who's going to come off the bench to save us?

Lukaku or Fellaini, you choose.

 

[Paul the Wolf]

Rashford and Martial both starting essentially means we aren't going to score, who's going to come off the bench to save us?

Lukaku?

 

[Paul_Scholes18]

Very expected 11. I guess the one doubt was if Mata or Fellaini would start, but Mata seem like the logical pick for a game we should dominate.

 

[The White Pele]

Cracking team. Hoping we can put it to bed early and give Shaw a full 45.

That front 5 should all be chomping at the bit to impress.

 

[Android1974]

Very expected 11. I guess the one doubt was if Mata or Fellaini would start, but Mata seem like the logical pick for a game we should dominate.

I never thought Fellaini would start instead of Mata, but of Carrick. I'm glad it didn't happen, though.

 

[Scarecrow]

Decent side. Looks like a first choice XI from two years ago.

 

[Fully Fledged]

The thing is, with Fellaini instead of Mata, would Mourinho change to 4-3-3 at home with Burton?

That's what I'd gone for. It was more to rest Mata than needing a set formation against Burton.

he might rest him at the weekend though so he plays in Moscow.

 

[Scarecrow]

Rashford and Martial both starting essentially means we aren't going to score, who's going to come off the bench to save us?

Are we allowed to sub someone off and then bring him on?

 

[Android1974]

“Mourinho doesn't do rotation”: the only player on the pitch who started the last two games was Mata.

 

[dove]

I'm glad A.Pereira was loaned, otherwise we might have an attacking midfielder on the bench.

I am glad as well, instead of playing Championship teams once a month he now plays regularly in La Liga.

 

[el3mel]

Out of this line-up there only 3 starters of the main line up, one of Martial/Rashford, Mata and Blind. That just proves how big and good our squad is.

 

[Android1974]

That's what I'd gone for. It was more to rest Mata than needing a set formation against Burton.

he might rest him at the weekend though so he plays in Moscow.

Mourinho's 4-3-3 is his usually more defensive formation, so unlikely at home with Burton. I thought Mata would play precisely because he might be dropped against Southampton away.

 

[carlosp]

Woop! Predicted all 11

 

[Android1974]

I am glad as well, instead of playing Championship teams once a month he now plays regularly in La Liga.

Last game as a sub, I was told. The guy that played his position came from PSG and was one of the best on the pitch, they won 5-0.

 

[mad1max954]

Mourinho's 4-3-3 is his usually more defensive formation, so unlikely at home with Burton. I thought Mata would play precisely because he might be dropped against Southampton away.

Yeah, think it will be 4231 with mata at no 10 and Tony and lingard either side. Good team

 

[ZAGREB RED]

The two I couldn't decide on - Shaw or Blind, Mata or Fellaini, got them both wrong so only 9 out of 11.
It's a strong team, be interesting to see how Martial and Rashford combine up front. Lukaku is a pretty good sub to come on later on also.
EDIT : I actually went for Blind with Shaw as a sub, so 10/11....I even managed to confuse myself.

 

[Mciahel Goodman]

10/11

Didn't think Mata would start.

 

[el3mel]

Got 9/11. Expected both Shaw and McTominay to start.

 

[Android1974]

Yeah, think it will be 4231 with mata at no 10 and Tony and lingard either side. Good team

Probably, but we could also see Lingard through the middle with Mata drifting inside from the right, although Darmian is not expected to outshine Valencia or Young's attacking contribution on that wing.

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

11/11

Yay me!

 

[pauldyson1uk]

9/11

 

[horsechoker]

I think if we score and don't concede we'll win

 

[Havak]

Good team. Jose taking it seriously and so we should. Hopefully McTominay and Shaw get at least half an hour though.
