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's J.Evans ?
Any idea if the suqad has been mentioned, so we can have a rough idea who might play. Like Carling Cup games as we can see the youngsters perform.
Fergie has said Evans, Giggs and Rooney are out. No mention of Hargreaves. Owen is fit.
Bebe not in the squad according to the mirror, where is he?
It's live on SKY.
I would really love to see Owen Hargreaves play at some stage in this game. It would be another lift for everybody. Hopefully his "calf Injury" has cleared!

We don't publish match squads on ManUtd.com @RBFlemma. But SAF has said it'll be the same players as at Scunthorpe

Yeah read that. same players would mean no Obertan 
Obertan played that day.
A stab at the matchday squad:
Kuszczak, Amos
Neville, Brown, Smalling, Fabio, Rafael, O'Shea, Dudgeon
Anderson, Park, Carrick, Obertan, Gibson, Bebe, Eikrem, Stewart
Owen, Hernandez, Macheda, W Keane
Welbeck, De Laet, C Evans, Diouf, Cleverley, Chester, Ajose, James, Gill, Norwood and King are all on loan unfortuantely!

King is cup tied unfortunately.
Changed my post now, cheers - didn't realise quite so many of the youngsters are off on loan!
Isn't he still at Preston or was it only a short term loan?
Team and bench for Scunthorpe were:
VDS, Kuszczak
Rio, Rafael, Brown, O'Shea, Smalling, D Laet, C. Evans
Park, Gibson, Eikrem, Obertan, Ando,
Bebe, Macheda, Owen, Hernandez
Based on that I'll go for:
----------------Kuszczak--------------
O'S/Raf--------Smalling--------Brown------Fabio
Obertan--------Carrick--------Gibson-------Park
------------Owen----------Macheda--------
As I understand it he's coming to the end of his time there. His only goal for them so far has come in the league cup.
PIG
Rafael-Brown-Smalling-Fabio
Bebe-Anderson-Gibson-Obertan
Macheda-Owen
I also hope Magnus Eikrem gets a good 30 mins or so.

Obertan need to start this one, really looking forward to this one!
Didn't Hernandez start on the left against Scunthorpe? Obviously that will change and surely Obertan will get the left side.
Fortunately Obertan can play on either side so it may depend on who Fergie selects to play on the other wing.
i ll take that
There'll no doubt be a mass of changes from the team that played against Stoke for this one and, had it not been PL opposition then we might have seen one or two of the reserves (personally, I would love to see Eikrem get a run in this competition) but I suppose we won't be seeing it now.
I suppose it hasn't helped that we are the defending champions (we're going for the three-on-the-run) this season and I think we're taking it much more seriously than we used to these days and so Fergie perhaps not up for taking chances with it like he used to be.
I can definitely see Obertan starting though and this will be good for him. Would love to see Bebe too.

It would be nice to see Bebe get his first start.
Carrick and Gibbo in the middle.
Dear God, I certainly hope not. Wolves are still after all a PL team.
We'd field a team that should be at PL level, Park/Carrick/Ando needs games... Gibbo sholuld be there alone with Ubertan Owen and Macheda...
Sry to say, it'll be hard for either Bebe' and Eikrem to start even though I would love to see both of them have a shot.

If Park had been showing decent form then yes, it'd be nice to see Bebe start. But I think the logic will be that there's too much at stake not to have the Korean in some sort of acceptable form by mid-November, unless the staff have seen extremely promising signs in either Bebe or Obertan and are seriously considering letting Park go.
I think at least one of Bebe or Obertan should start.
Eikrem is a good shout for the bench at least.
Would love to see Obiwan and Bebe start, but he wont risk them both from the off
Would mind seeing a 451 with Eikrem given license to create
----------------Kuszczak--------------
----Raf------Smalling----Brown------JOS
Obertan----Carrick-------Anderson------Bebe (Park will probably start)
------------------Eikrem------------------
------------------Macheda--------

United's lowest home gate for a competitive game so far this century is 43,673 v Barnet in 2005. Will tonight be lower?

Ravel and robert Brady been given squad numbers.
Just for this match I presume ?
edit....never mind just found out its an offical squad number!
Great news
No chance. Should get above that in STs alone.
But many won't be there but have bought tickets.
Great, now Morrison's agent is going to want a 10k first-team appearance clause.
Kidding. Go unravel the opposition, Ravel.
Can anyone give me a postcode of the best place to park for the game tonight please?
Preferably easy get away, not too far from ground etc?

I think Eikrem deserve a chance in this game
Not got the post code, but I'd suggest you park at the Lowry and then walk to the ground which is about 10 to 15 min walk. It's normally a really quick get away and you can get to the motorways easily from there.
If you do decide to use the Lowry, when you park up, go into the shopping area and buy something, even something like chewing gum or say a coffee from Burger King, get your ticket stamped and the first 4 hours in the car park are free. I parked in that place for 4 or 5 years till I stopped going.
