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.
He won't be at right back, he'll play exactly where he has done the last two games.
Mutv have Park at right back and Fletcher and Carrick in the centre back positions.
Edit: Exactly has Carpy has it.

I reckon that sky formation is arseways
MUTV has Anderson as the 1 in a 4-4-1-1 with a Scholes-Gibbo pairing in the middle.
Has Gibson ever played as a fullback or centre back?
That's a good team!
Makes more sense having a midfield 5 with that defence and with park playing RB with Gibson in midfield
Played at centre half before I think.
Attack! Attack! Attack!
Just checked UEFA and they have the same, lined up as I posted a little earlier. I presume that's what has been handed out.
I hope Eikrem comes on at some point, he deserves it for his form for the reserves.
Oh I'm sure you'll be giving off about something 2 minutes into the damn match.
I think so. Given our injury list it sounded like we'd be scraping the barrel, but you look at the team and it's not bad at all - except of course in terms of experience in some of the positions. Should be an interesting night.
Me too, probably take a meaner free kick than any of the starting XI
Regardless of the result, I'd like to see Eikrem get a run out, maybe coming on for Scholes in the second half if Scholes starts to flag (not being as young as he once was)
I expect this team to put on some good possession football, make the match boring and stop them testing the back 4.
Don't know, I wouldn't be surprised if we see:
Fletcher---Carrick---Evra---Park
I agree with five man midfield though
I'd be inclined to rest Evra
And who would play in defence?
Can't see us rolling over.
That would be my selection aswell.
They'd just stick Dzeko on Evra and rape him in the air.
I know its a CL match and a match to determine whether we are top or second (and most people say you get hard games regardless but id rather United avoid Barca for now) but that team is hilarious.
A squad as big as ours and we get problems in one area.

Fanstistic team, should make for an entertaining game.
Nani - Score 3 goals, one for each of Park's lungs
Park - Carrick - Fletch - Evra

Sky reporter: What's the shape of your side tonight?

SAF "young David...David.. Oliver Gill"
Attack is the best form of defence for us. Dont sit back and give the back 4 and keeper plenty of work to do. Always keep the ball in their half whenever possible.

Yep, only way to win this game is like you said.
And it turns out I'd be wrong, it is indeed

You know it's true.
fecking hell... Having 1 defender and 9 midfielders/attackers in the starting XI is every muppet's wet dream on FIFA or FM... In reality it's actually a bit scary.
Isnt it just?! It is just the most bizzare thing I have ever seen in Football. I cant wait for this match now!
Didn't know Nani could play both wings at the same time.
I see - You think only having one defender is still a bit weighted in our favour so you're offering to start with just 10 men to give Wolfsburg a chance?
Alternatively you could put Welbeck in there
edit: And limit Nani to just the one wing and let Scholesy get a run out too
You've only got 9 players.
And some say we have a relatively weak midfield?! Show me a better midfield from any team in the world!!!!!!
Sky reporter: What's the shape of your side tonight?
Sir Alex: I have no idea!
That says it all. Light the blue touch paper and stand clear.

I need to see a clip of that!2 nanis?!!! Christ ones just about enough surely!?
Not to mention no Welbeck
Didn't go exactly as planned, it's not easy this team selection malarkey
