This will either be one of those matches where we're scratching our heads because of the lineup, or an inspired bit of genius from SAF. Here's hoping it's the latter.
Manchester United vs Everton

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.
Where is Nani? Not sure if I'm excited now, but this team is a bit of a.... mystery.
As someone else said, this is both exciting and scary.
It's obviously a great opportunity for these kids to prove themselves. I think that they are all good enough individually, its just a case of how they handle the occasion and how they play together.
Overall the team has a good balance. Gibson-Anderson combo should be okay, Rio-Vida the backbone, and decent attacking options.

Its a ridiculas team Arsenal and Chelsea players can play two games running but our players can't, just can't believe it 
Only Vida and Rio regulars.
Wednesday
Welbeck could be there instead of Nani because of his extra height at both defensive and offensive set pieces.
This is the day the twins announce themselves on world football. Fabio and Rafael Da Silva, please stand up.
You know the way students love wearing Ernesto Che Guevara t-shirts that say "Che" despite knowing nothing about him? Well, the next big t-shirt will simply say "Da". Back AND front.

Bench ?
Such an exciting team. Desperate for a stream website now. If anyone has one please PM me.
Obviously he is resting players for the league now. Good to see some of the youngsters getting a game. We only really have two first choice players starting, that is a first for this stage of the FA Cup.
If we lose today Fergy, and United, will get absolutely raped in the media tomorrow for not taking the competition seriously.

Not happy about that team tbh.
Be interesting to see Fabio and Rafael playing together in the first team but that's a bit of a piss take. I hope it doesn't backfire.

No Ronaldo & Rooney.

With The Twins playing together, we can't lose.

Wait till the game ends to see if SAF was wrong.
Surprised Fergie's made as many changes as he has.
Fabio and Rafael... 2 goals each 4 - 0
So much for all those who were saying Sir Alex would never field such a young and "weak" side in an FA Cup semi final.
Come on United! Should be exciting.

Not happy about the line-up to be honest, Fergie knows more than me though so hopefully I'm proven wrong.
I'm not sure of the wisdom of playing Macheda in this line up...he would surely benefit from having more senior players around him.
But you never know.
I hope it doesn't go wrong and dent his confidence.

By the looks of it SAF has Wednesdays game on mind, which is why i expect Nani didnt start. The heart of midfield has got be a little worried Anderson was great on Wed but hes been poor this season and really dont know which Anderson will turn up, same goes for Gibson - the one game i saw him play in the first team where i thought he was amazing was the FA cup game against Derby, if hes anything like he was that day we will do well in midfield but if he plays like the CC final then i worry...
Anyone know what channel in the UK the game is on?
I love this team
All the people calling for us to put our talented youngsters in the team have got their wish. Personally it looks like there were more changes than I was expecting. But I trust in the potential of these players. They are at Manchester United for a reason and if they are good enough they are old enough. This is a big occasion and we dont know if they can handle it because of the inexperience. But believe in them, trust in them and back them to perform.
Cmon United!
Cmon United!
That team line-up has taken the shine of it for me.
ando-gibson might get out muscled ..

This is to rest players who need it.
If United win then it will be a successful gamble.
If United lose then the quintuple talk will be silenced in the media.
Who is on the bench?

I'm not sure whether to cheer or cry. This is the semi final of the FA Cup.....you know...where Giggsy scores the best goal ever scored....
Guts and genius by the old man.
I am quite excited about this.
I agree..!
Can't believe the line-up I bet Everton are as shocked as we are. Full credit to Fergie though giving faith in the youth. The only thing that upset me was Nani, it should be the game where he get's his chance to regain his form. I don't like playing players out of position and Welbeck at RW is just poor imo. Hope we win though, and I hope Nani comes on at half time.
