In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
So with Carrick now out who plays with Scholes in the middle against Wigan?
We have no option but to play O'Shea centre midfield with Scholes and play either Pique or Simpson at Right Back. That's assuming Wes is still injured which might not be the case
or Giggs and Scholes with Nani on the left
is Gibson injured?
I guess we could get away with that against Wigan, SAF might think it's a tad to adventurous though even at home against Wigan
I think O'Shea with Scholes and one of the young lads in more realistic
O'Shea and Giggs or Scholes for me. Should be fine for the wiggers. Bit of a blow that he and Fletcher are out though.
Maradona will be in the crowd for this one.
Ah, that's right, almost forgotten. Another reason Tevez will probably get the nod ahead of Saha.
Imagine the line up would be a miracle with the injuries we have
We have no options more than Pique and Oshea to take the right back and Midfield
Hope Brown can be ready for the game

Once in the beginning, thrice when Tevez does something great, once when he's subbed, and once when the game is over. So I'm going with 6.

The match thread got PIMPED, thanks to Hairdryer
A knee injury could keep Wes Brown out of United's Barclays Premier League clash with Wigan on Saturday.
The defender picked up the knock in the 1-0 win at Birmingham last Saturday and was subsequently ruled out of the Reds' Champions League victory over Roma on Tuesday.
He is still struggling with the injury and remains a doubt for Wigan's lunchtime visit to Old Trafford.
"Wes is doubtful," revealed Sir Alex Ferguson at his pre-match press briefing. "I'm going to see how he is after training on Friday."
John O'Shea is likely to step into the right back slot, as he did against Roma.
Meanwhile, Sir Alex says he has a choice to make between Ryan Giggs and Anderson as to who replaces the injured Michael Carrick in central midfield.

That is the line up I want but I can't see Anderson starting, It will be Giggs in the middle again unfortunately.
Yup.
It's pretty certain, that that line-up wont be the real one, but I would also love to see it.
What channels this on?
Sky Sports 1.
Why not? Anderson started against Sunderland why not Wigan?
Maybe because it's no defensive midfielders there. I think it's unlikely that both Anderson and Scholes will start.
Agreed.
Bump
Only 15 ½ hours to go!
1-0, Rooney
Hej på dig, kul att se ännu en från Sverige.
Come on United, 1-0, 1-0, 1-0 to the title!
Of course. Ain't gonna be a swede for long though. Going to Las Palmas for a month in ten days. After that I'm going to Southeast Asia for 5 months, and coming home from that journey I will start planning om my supposed move to Manchester.
I'll reckon we smash 3 ones in, wishful thinking.

The same to you, just in case
"Hey, nice to see another guy from Sweden!"
Pretty sure this will be the line up aswel.
Saha and perhaps Anderson will come on in the second half.
I think Eagles will get the go ahead over Evans though. Damn what a bench we'll have when Hargreaves, Carrick, Park and Fletcher is back.
True, would be hard for certain players to even make the bench, the competition in midfield is frightening, I can only see Ronaldo being a definite player to have bagged his starting position in there.
