shit!!! Im gonna miss this, didn't realize it was such an early kick off and planned a day out with a friend!
 
Lindegaard
Vermijl---Veseli---Wootton---Brady
Valencia---Carrick---Anderson---Lingard
Kawaga
---Chicharito​

Difficult to take a stab at the team Sir Alex will put out. Resting Rio and Scholes means that the defence will have to be very young, so I'd say keep the first choice keeper in place to organise them. Because of this then Carrick and Anderson start for their much needed experience, though I'd prefer to start Petrucci myself. Harsh on Berba especially as well as Macheda, but I think Chicharito needs game time to recover some form - so start him with Kawaga until the latter's five minutes are up and he gets subbed for Bebe :devil:
 
I'm gonna go with the same team myself, except I'd start Tunnicliffe and Blackett at full back and bring Vermijl and Brady on for them. With Wootton and Veseli likely to play CB they'll need Carrick and Anderson in front of them.

I thought Blackett was the most impressive full back for us against AmaZulu, I'm looking forward to seeing more.
 
15.00 on Saturday is a great kick-off time, much better than 20.00. However, I quite enjoyed our tours in the USA, those matches at night were special.
 
Code:
                    Amos

Vermijl    Ferdinand    Wootton    Blackett

      Valencia   Tunnicliffe   Anderson

                   Petrucci
             Kagawa        Hernandez

SUBS:
Lindegaard, Johnstone, Veseli, Brady, Carrick, Scholes, Powell, Bebe, Lingard,  Berbatov, Macheda

It's pre-season, time for the crazy lineups!
 
I will be attending this match. Can't wait.

Also, United will have to do better in defense because Ajax are a better side than Amazulu. Might go to the training session as well.
 
I'd like to see us play:

Lindegaard

Vermijl
Ferdinand
Wooton
Brady

Powell
Petrucci

Valencia
Kagawa
Anderson

Hernandez
 
I'd like to see Vermijl, Tunnicliffe and Petrucci start this game, they looked very good last night when they came on, a half each again for Blackett and Brady at left back or even Brady in his more natural position on the wing would be good to see as well.
 
Hopefully there will be a fair share of this sight.

Ball behind former Liverpool goalkeeper Sander Westerveld who is Ajax Cape Town's number one keeper these days..
 
Hopefully Kagawa and Powell play, would like to see Lingard again, and Blackett to start.
 
any United fans going to this? I went to that stadium for a couple world cup games, it's pretty nice. Not to mention Cape Town was a fabulous place to visit.
 
If kagawa doesn't start, I'll stop supporting United.
. hehehe
 
Powell to start dammit!! I've got very high hopes for him and he should open his chapter tomorrow..

Watching United while you work.. mint..

Why would Carrick play at the back? Wooton should keep his place. Great opportunity for the kids to get games alongside Rio.
 
Arghhh

Didn't realise this was an early kickoff and was looking forward to seeing Kagawa

Is it repeated later on MUTV?
