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.
And about 8-9 sets of legs.
Because Rio, Brown, Valencia, Rooney, Fletcher, Gibson, Park and Hernandez are regulars for the reserves...
Fergie just basically said a lot of players dropped because of sat
Only problem I have is with the midfield, no creativity at all without Giggs/Scholes/Nani.
Strikers is good and defence isn't bad either.

Delighted to see Fabio in there, especially since I thought he was injured. Hopefully he can take a few steps forward this season, Evra needs a deputy.
It's not a reserve side.
Fletcher, Rio, Wes, Valencia, Park, Rooney and Hernandez are first team players for me.
Fabio and Smalling are promising youngsters, so the CL is always a good breeding ground for them.
Gibson and Kuszack are squad players, no issues with them getting games in such a match.
This side is more than good enough to comfortably win this match.
bbc said we are being disrespectful to rangers with that line-up. 
Told ya...
And what did he ACTUALLY say?
ha! my predicted lineup was pretty close.
Bit worried about Smalling, but the rest make sense.
Come on United!

Haha cmon you negative feckers, that teams grand in the context of Rangers at home. Reserves my arse......
Just showed Rooney's header at the San Siro last season.
Fergie mentioned he didn't know if he played his best team against everton n that some of the lads playing tonight are maybe more in contention at starting places based on form... Or words to that effect
Central defence is the only concern. Unsure about Rio's match fitness and Smalling doesn't fill me with much confidence from what I've seen of him so far. Hope they do well.

I think someone is trying to stir things up with "the weakened team" stuff from last season. Henry Winther tweeted something about it earlier, and said that argument is undermined because of UEFA's 25 man roster rule.
I was hoping Berbatov would play so he could keep up his good run of form, but I'm glad Chicharito got the start.
So should I be hearing "dropped" or "rested" here?
Got a feeling Gibson will bag a long ranger tonight
6/1 to score anytime......
Nice to to see Bebe
That the result on Saturday affected his team selection tonight
Keeper.
The big question is how many shots will he have blasted high and wide before that
Rangers only playing Kenny Miller upfront so hopefully we should be able to contain him. I agree with doubts about Smalling. He looks like the type to make at least a few errors a game (given his inexperience).
Rio should be able to guide him though so I have faith we will be fine.
Most of the lads playing today have barely seen any action this season, so talking about their 'form' is a bit rubbish. Fergie has made changes he would have made regardless of the Everton match - just like he's shown in the past he has no trouble benching players who have just scored hat tricks - and uses the chance to say a few words as a kick up the other lads's arses.
We would have seen a very very similar lineup even if we had kept the ball after Cahill's goal and won 3-2.
It be more nice to see him on the pitch soon for us.
Better to take 10 shots and get a goal than not take any shots and get no goal.The big question is how many shots will he have blasted high and wide before that
Dropped, but because he thinks some who are in the lineup tonight are more deserving of a place
And the mute button goes on so I don't have to listen to that feckwit Craig Foster.
I think we need these changes, or rather the players need them as something of a message.
Rio leading us out.
I think it'll be scrappy due to the lack of match practive and cohesion, and possibly the result is even at risk.
Was planning to take my brother to this game originally. Wouldn't be a happy man at forking out the various costs now, if I had
I just ordered TSNHD with the push of a few buttons, finally a positive for Canadian TV.
To make up for it I have to get a load of other channels that I'll probably never watch, all for the bargain price of $9.99/month.

Spread the love people, pm a link please
That's just poor. Goes to show you how hard pressed journalists are of stirring up something. Anything. Both with Wolves last season, or this match tonight. I'm not saying you can't discuss the changes, but stick to the sporting side of things rather than trying to figure out if a team can be punished for it.
Hernandez just looks so happy to be there.
Chicharito looks like his dream has come true, awww.
Risky lineup by United?
wow all the changes!
