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.
Not least to say that after four defeats in the San Siro to A.C. Milan a draw is hardly the worst result in the world.
Beckham.
I would go 451 Evans and Ferdinand at CB. Rafael ahead of Brown at RB. Evra LB Nani and Park on Wing and Rooney up top. Middle Carrick, Fletch and Scholes and ofcourse VDS in goals.
I wouldn't play Rafael, after the "Miracle at Wolfsburg" the 3-5-2 formation has been proven to be fairly limited.
Should be quite easy with only Beckham to play against or you would believe from the british media.I'll be glad when these two legs are over.
I'd be surprised if he started. It looks like Gattuso and Ambrosini against Carrick and Fletcher and Pirlo vs. Scholes.
What jersey will we wear tomorrow - this one?
Brown has dealt with Ronaldhino before. Despite some poor form this season, Brown is more than capable of dealing with tricky wingers.
I hope he Browns him hard
What jersey will we wear tomorrow - this one?
More than likely
Does anyone in the US know if it will be replayed? I know it's on ESPN, but I won't be able to catch it live.
I think Valencia will get the nod.
Not sure about Nani though. Probably Park will feature.

I think it is on FSC. Also, the replay is sometimes later that same day.
There are three weeks between this game and the second leg if I'm not mistaken, unlike in the past few years when there were 'only' two weeks. Unless we win 3-0 or something tomorrow, the tie is going to be open for that period as 3 weeks is enough for both sides to retain or lose their form.
Fortunately Kakha Kaladze, Dida, Oguchi Onyewu, Thiago Silva and Marek Jankulovski aren't Italian and definitely do do OG's ... well maybe Kakha Kaladze is a little Italian.
And what makes you think any of those players (besides Dida) are goin to start tomorrow?
Thiago Silva should start even if half-fit, because Milan's centre-back options are limited.
Nesta and Bonera are half-fit themselves anyway.

Shit didn't even see Silva in his comment. Regardless, he's a good player and is hardly as dodgy as Gooch or Dida. I'd have him starting with Nesta tomorrow with Bonera on the bench

UEFA? yes, as above links but good legal streaming
Would that be in HD?

basically only Thiago Silva, as said below ... heck I'm not sure even Dida will start.
Basically Onyewa is out of favour, out injured and out of the European squad anyway. Kaladze might be backup, Jankulovski would be lucky to be even that... maybe some of the foreigners in the more advanced roles could score own goals, just by getting in the way of a corner or something ... e.g. Pato, Huntellaar, Ronaldiniho, Beckham?
All the legal streams I've used like on MUTV and UEFA have been excellent streams but in HD?....don't think so. FSC HD has it on tv in the US. US ESPN does NOT have it on as mentioned by an earlier poster.
He may be a good player, still scored an own goal and he's not Italian.
In the majority we all score OGs at some point. So the fact he may have done it means sweet feck all.
must said I am worried about this game, if we ain't careful and get complacent, milan can turn us over easily.
I note that RAWK has their token "We're playing Manchester United in the Champions League and wanted the unbiased opinions of some deranged scousers" member posting on there in the last few days. They seem to have collected a few like that in the last couple of years...
Unfortunately. Hideous shirt...

Line-Ups???
The key to this game is getting at their full backs. Abate is awful and favalli is 1000 years old.
Nani and Park to start on the wings and we murder them (hopefully) but i really can't wait for this tie now. C'mon United

Rooney's a lot better now, maybe Nani and Park are inferior to those at 2007, but I'd say Fletcher has showed vast improvement and certainly will be the key man tonight. Also, Heinze the cnut was so poor and ran into brown nearly every time.
Also the Milan 2007 Vs Milan 2010 is some what devastingly poorer. Kaka > Ronaldinho and Kaka certainly destroyed us them. I can't see a 29 yr old Ronaldinho producing the magic tonight.
Seedorf destroyed us that night and he's still there and a 29 yr old Dinho can easily torment us if he puts on the right boots tonight.
cant believe it has been 3 years
remember it all quite well
time really does fly by

We have unfinished business with these. Carrick and Fletcher are in scintillating form and hopefully if this continues and we can win the midfield battle R Wayne can do the magic.
I think this game won't be as easy as some poster believe, Ronaldinho is starting to come into form and AC generally lift the level for CL games. I'de be happy with a 1-0 though suspect it might be a little more interesting than thay score.
A 1-0 win or loss?
