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.
Nice to see Vidic on the bench atleast.
Smith was in midfield wasn't he?
Strong team, we'll win tonight lads.
COME ON UNITED!!!
I hope this works. I really wanted to see Valencia or Fletch on the right.
Still good enough team to beat shitty.
UNITED!

UNITED!
Sigh, good to see Nani start but 451 at home?
It is typical for many United fans to want the young ones to play and wonder why they are not given the chances, but when they are given the chance the fans want someone else. If they don´t play games like those they wont make the step up...
4-5-1 with Ronaldo and without Ronaldo are entirely different.
Experienced team and pretty similar to the one which outplayed City last week
feck me Nani nowhere to be found. If he doesn't start againt L'Arse i really do think his days are numbered.
On the bright side our bench is feckin packed full of attacking options and good defensive ones too.

There is a time and a place. If we're taking your perspective we might as well play the likes of Welbeck, Gibson and De Laet
Nani's starting...
Uhh, did you check the starting line-up? Cos he's kind of in that.
No centre midfield cover?
Valencia can play in CM if needed, though I reckon we'll switch to a 4-4-2 later in the game anyway.

It's a fairly big game in the Carling Cup, why not bleed a couple of youngsters...
eh?
BBC has him down as starting. Tonight really is his last chance imo. I'm not expecting much. jiiiinnxxx
No centre midfield cover?
We're starting 3 central midfielders + Giggs so is there a need?
No centre midfield cover?
Well we've got 3 on the pitch plus Giggs so we'd simply reshuffle of there was a problem.
Because they aren't ready. If they get beaten by Leeds in the 3rd round of the FA Cup, I don't think they are ready for a semi against our neighbours.
@ ReddevilCanuck.Even with 4-3-3, I'm sure SAF is up to something. We can always bring on a Valencia or Berbatov/Owen on for a MF that is disappointing.
holly shit, im so excited I can't even read!!!!
Sorry people.
Sorry people.
4-5-1 may look a bit better tonight, because Scholes and Fletcher will pass all day long, but still...
It would have been great to play Rooney from the left, and Berba up top.

451....hmmm.
Can't say I'm surprised. Disappointed though. I guess we'll have to go a goal down before SAF decides to revert back to the formation that made us so dangerous in the last 20 minutes at the Eastlands.

Thats what I wanted to see personally. Rooney out on the left and Owen uptop and either of Nani/Valencia on the right. 4-3-3 will do us better imo against them.
I bet we have to bring on another striker at some point (hopefully not once it's too late)
Fergie might be a genius, but feck me he can be catious these days. How many managers would sacrifice Wayne Rooney because they're scared of the likes of Gareth Barry? Ubergayness

When we lost to Villa at home didn't we have Rooney and Giggs up front?
Rooney and Scholes to score in a 2-0 for me tonight.
Yes, indeed!stuck in germany
anyone know if one of the local stations is showing the match?
DSF (Deutsches Sportfernsehen) are showing the match in 35 minutes.
Is it 8 - o' clock start?
Too much negativity on here. I still think we'll beat them, and Fergie is obviously planning in advance for when we score the first goal.
Personally I think its more of a cover for our defence than anything. I think he's still not confident with our backline.
IF we do score the first goal, I hope we don't piss about like last week. We can't afford to be going into the last 10 minutes without a cushion.
A Scholes thunderbolt and we hang on nervously to win.
Sound familiar?
