I think we could see either one of Smalling or Evans playing, as I can't see Rio playing 2 matches within three days.

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.
line-downs?
Yeh I wouldn't be at all surprised either.
United team: vds, oshea, Smalling, Vidic, Evra, Nani, Anderson, carrick, Giggs, Rooney, berba
Good team.
I'd have preferred Fabio to be honest but with Smalling in the back 4 O'Shea will add some experience.

He played three between 26/12 and 1/1, so don't be too harsh on him.
I don't think why someone from our defence should be rested today.
Yeah but our right side is going to be all Nani now. O'Shea won't exactly overlap. Good enough team to win the match. Great to see Anderson and Carrick again.
Rio groin injury apparently. Probably just rested for Blackpool.
Rio on bench?
Shame about Fabio
Otherwise, with Berba, Nani and Ando we'll be fine

Good team, would have preferred to see Fabio though.
BCFC XI - Foster; Carr, Johnson, Ridgewell, Murphy; Bentley, Ferguson, Mutch, Fahey, Hleb; Derbyshire
bench???
O'Shea still does get forward a little. Granted not as much as Rafael, Fabio or Evra but he does get up from time to time.
Gives us extra height too.
Happy with Anderson and Carrick partnership.
Shame there's no Fabio.
Hopefully Rio just rested.
Good team, 3-0, please.

#mufc bench: PIG, Owen, Scholes, Fabio, Evans, Obertan, Gibson
Hopefully we can give Scholes some minutes. No Hernandez at all

Subs; Kuszczak, Owen, Scholes, Fabio, Evans, Obertan, Gibson
No Hernandez
Pretty uninspiring bench really. Scholes the only good option and maybe maybe Obertan.

No hernandez on the bench
that goes without saying....everyone would rather we win whilst playing shit rather than playing well and dropping points.
Goals won't even get him into the SQUAD. He'll have to start scoring hat-tricks ASAP
unless of course he's injured.

i just brought in rio today to utilize the 2 games utd have this gameweek and saf rests him
Rio? Hope it's not an injury somewhat, need him against Blackpool.
Otherwise it's a strong squad. I like.

we've got a match in 3 days against Blackpool, and then another on the weekend against Southampton, he'll get his chance.
Birmingham resting Jerome today for the league cup semi final.
BBC: Rio Ferdinand is ruled out with a groin injury so Chris Smalling comes into the United defence.
He has trained on Friday so it´s nothing serious.
No Fletcher either
He's off to Madrid.
Little tidbit: Not only does Chicarito look like Bruno Mars. But Bruno Mars' real name is Peter HERNANDEZ !
weeeeeeeeiiird
this was relevant to your interests.

we need to start firing in the goals please....
Other than Rio that's a great line up.
Owen will probably get some game time today then.
Ben Hibbs has spoken.
No Fletcher either
That's good. A Fletcher Carrick midfield is the worst central mids you could pick against a team who'll park the bus.
Fletch and Hernandez not on bench is weird.
"Fabio" on the bench, eh?
Looks like the other way around.
The bench is very worrying. Let's hope the 11 starting this game can do what's needed.
What's worrying about it exactly?
I suppose Fergie knows best.
I just thought at home, we could get away with our midfield being a bit stretched by the opposition, but maybe Fergie feels, with all the movement Blackpool have Scholes will be crucial in retaining possession, and lauching our attacks in 3 days time.
