How does Elanga gets a spot on the bench before Amad? Amad is clearly the better player.

 

[Sassy Colin]

I had Shaw instead of Telles.

 

[stefan92]

As expected, really. Think Rashford has to show something tonight to start again — Mason’s knocking on the door with his CL showingg

Could easily see Greenwood replacing him at half time if he doesn't show enough today.

[Cloud7]

Good decision to continue with Telles. Why do we have two keepers on the bench?

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

Is Martial injured?

Yes.

 

[HailtotheKing]

Totally expected. They trained all week on this game. Expect to see Donny snd Greenwood second half to get them ready for Brentford. That teams gonna be the interesting one playing so soon after.

 

[Hoof the ball]

In case the first sub gets injured?

Why not make it three, just incase those two crumble to pieces on the bench?

Crazy thing is having two keepers on the bench over another outfield player.

I think RR rates him better physically. He said Greenwood needs to develop in this aspect too.

Just my opinion though

 

[IhabX7]

Why two sub keepers?

Pointless and unnecessary.

My guess is Ralf prefers Elanga's versatility over Amad who is more of a winger.

Yea just noticed that. Bizarre.

 

[mu4c_20le]

I was only half serious, would have preferred a youth or something myself

 

[T_Model101]

Two keepers on the bench, is this what hipster managers are doing now?

We really need to smash in a good few goals today. West Ham's goal difference is miles better than ours

 

[Mickson]

No Mata or Amad on the bench. Instead two keepers, and Jones. Not sure I like it entirely...

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

If this guy subs on Heaton/Henderson again I'm going to get a bit worried.

 

[stefan92]

How does Elanga gets a spot on the bench before Amad? Amad is clearly the better player.

Different position? Looks like Elanga and Greenwood are the options for the front two, while van de Beek and Lingard would be options for the line behind - and that's where Amad would play.

 

[BusbyMalone]

I would have started Greenwood personally as he looked sharp the other day, while Rashford was terrible. Glad to see he's sticking with the full-backs though.

 

[jamesjimmybyrondean]

Maybe he's planning to sub off DDG if he's not impressed by him

 

[Martial'sEmergingSmile]

It'll be great when we stop giving Lingard bench time.

 

[klayton88]

I look forward to rashford strolling about with a silky face on him.

 

[stw2022]

Pointless and unnecessary.

No I’m sure it’s Heaton and Henderson

 

[Swedish_Plumber]

Rashford needs a good game today or he should be dropped.

 

[edcunited1878]

Shame Cavani wasn't fit enough to make the bench.

 

[cj_sparky]

I'd have liked to see Greenwood start over Rashford. I understand he played the 90 minutes against Young Boys in the week, but Rashford needs a boot up the back side and not reward.

 

[Maurice Setters Training]

I think RR rates him better physically. He said Greenwood needs to develop in this aspect too.

Just my opinion though

Agreed, he has possibly done more in training to demonstrate that he fits RR’s, pressing based, system and philosophy.

 

[Lyng]

Having two keepers on the bench is quite the head scratcher to me.

 

[VanDeBank]

How does Elanga gets a spot on the bench before Amad? Amad is clearly the better player.

Disagree, higher ceiling? Sure. Ralf rates Elanga it seems. Also Elanga is more similar to Rashy as a one on one replacement. Amad would come in for Sancho probably and we have Van de Bench and Jlingz for that position.

 

[Hester_manc]

What a bizarre choise to have 2 keepers on the bench. Why not give the spot to an young player instead?

 

[V.O.]

Apparently the ref is Darren England. Don't remember seeing him before in my life to be honest, but I don't suppose he can be much worse than the usual shower.

 

[OmarUnited4ever]

Easy 11/11...

We need to go hard at Norwich in the first 30 mins and score quickly couple of goals, then we can slow the tempo and control the game

 

[Hoof the ball]

I was only half serious, would have preferred a youth or something myself

I was only half joking. Between the both of us we've covered everything.

 

[HailtotheKing]

In case the first sub gets injured?

True that. Why not Amad instead of Heaton?

 

[King Kendrick]

Would like to see Bruno up top and Rashford on the wings. Bruno and Ronnie combining together like Yorke and Cole

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Darren England is the referee today...
Darren England is the referee today. If his name rings a bell then it should: he was the VAR for United’s draw at West Ham in September when Martin Atkinson somehow failed to give Cristiano Ronaldo a penalty in two separate incidents. David de Gea’s denial of Mark Noble spared England and Atkinson from more grief that day.

 

[Damien]

Apparently the ref is Darren England. Don't remember seeing him before in my life to be honest, but I don't suppose he can be much worse than the usual shower.

He's never refereed a United game before but has refereed 8 Norwich matches - only 2 of which Norwich have won.

Do you know which moisturizer he uses?

 

[RepardReece]

2 Keepers on the bench, #RangnickOut

 

[RedDevilRoshi]

Don’t understand why you need both Henderson & Heaton on the bench unless De Gea is going to come off very early for one of them?
