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.
Rooney will drop into the middle.
city - Pantilimon, Richards, Kompany, Lescott, Kolarov, A. Johnson, de Jong, Milner, Silva, Nasri, Aguero
City's midfield is weak today.
De Gea, Rafael, Evans, Anderson, Park, Chicharito, Scholes.
Wow no Anderson or Jones in midfield.
I'll never call silva and nasri weak.
Young should temp give the no. 18 shirt back to the legend.
Imagine Scholesy getting the winner.
Carnage.
Carnage.
The only way to top off these 2 great bits of news would have been to see Owen on the bench aswell...
This is fecking unbelievable.
Amazing stuff. Come on Ginger Ninja!
Amazing stuff. Come on Ginger Ninja!
You'd think the people who broadcast football would know that we won't play Jones at cb and Smalling at rb if they're both in the game.
Nasri on the left and Silva in behind the striker. I'm talking about a midfield 2 of De Jong and Milner. Much weaker than Toure and Barry that's for sure.
Bring back Scholes on FIFA12 fecking hell, I'm euphoric!
fecking hell, I'm euphoric!Holy Crap Balls! 
got a good feeling about today , Scholes on the bench and City have rested Hart.
I still don't understand why you would rest your first choice (by some margin) keeper in a match like this.
I'd think City would choose:
..De Jong Milner
Silva Nasri Johnson
.......Aguero
..De Jong Milner
Silva Nasri Johnson
.......Aguero
Bring back Scholes on FIFA12
Just tweeted that exact sentiment to their Twitter account! Should be back in after the window closes I guess!
yay!
I can't believe it!
Johnson right, Nasri left and Silva floating centrally.
Bloody hell, I'm shocked. Surely the news alone will raise the other players.
We're gonna win.
Surprised Anderson is starting...Giggs will be crap in the first half
Gonna be a tough game....3-1 win for us
Gonna be a tough game....3-1 win for us
Doesn't Johnson normally play on the left?
Pantylemon's in goal and Nasri and Johnson are playing?
Colour me offended - we can win this.
Colour me offended - we can win this.
what the feck! Scholes is back!
Nope, plays on the right and cuts in.
Shock, Keane sounding like a miserable sod.
Why are people so excited by that? He's no walkover.
Dropping Hart and playing an unknown keeper is a massive gamble for City.
Scholes said he wanted to come back, makes it even better rather than we begging him.
Has he looked better there than he used to on the left?
never seen him play and dropping Hart for him is a gamble
Seeing him warm up and smiling has already made my year! Can't believe he's back.
3-1
Rooney x2
Scholes!
3-1
Rooney x2
Scholes!
Yep, he's much more dangerous on that side. He's a matchwinner for 'em but he's got some weaknesses in his defensive game which hopefully Pat can exploit.
He mmade a couple of good saves when they played Arsenal and he's fecking massive.
Manchester City 0 - 3 Manchester United
