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.
I think the team looks fairly well balanced and will probably turn the screws on City and win it 2-0
So am I, it seems a fairly attacking midfield lineup.
Tevez up front on his own.
Big game for Smalling, hope he copes with the pressure.
I think Scholes will have a blinder! Not to mention Giggsy

That's because you're a knob.
Me thinks you are in trouble
Plenty on the bench, don't worry lads.
No Carrick? 
Lone striker was to be expected to be honest, shame for Berba though. I'm more surprised at the lack of Rafael or Carrick.
Ben Hibbs says "No Rafael is a loss" ... probably misses out on the bench.
Injured?
Injured?
SUBS: Lindegaard, Rafael, Brown, Carrick, Owen, Hernandez, Berbatov.
Lescott starting pleases me.
Great to see Scholes and Giggs.
No Carrick?
What the feck?
What the feck?
Is Rafael injured?
Strongest bench i've seen all season. But Berba on the bench !?
3 strikers on the bench
whats the fecking point

Oh well done.
0-0
Owen, Hernandez and Berbatov all on the bench.
shizzle
Berba was my fantasy team captain as well, I thought it was a good decision to make him skipper as he's home record has been pretty good!

Not me.
After Wolves last week my big worry is defending set pieces and Lescott is a big danger there.
Fergie is wrong again.
After that performance vs Wolves Rooney does deserve a start ahead of Berba
He better be on form today!

Berbatov should've been in the starting line up in my opinion. He holds up the ball better and with the goal touch lacking from Rooney, I don't think thats the best option.
He's a confidence player, our berba. Hmmm.. Interesting.

Berbatov doesn't do very well up top solo. Not a surprise to see Rooney.
No, he's on the bench. I reckon SAF wants a burly right back in Sheasy.
Hernandez on the bench? Thought he wasn't even in contention after his international trek.
despite the changes it's easier to notice the weaknesses in citys lineup
No doubt someone will soon come up with the "O'Shea is better than Rafael defensively" stuff but with 4-5-1 I'd like our defender to be able to attack as well as defend. Besides, Rafael does the defending too.
Excuses all set and ready... no Rafael, Carrick or Berbatov...
You're in as good a mood as ever I see.
Didn't you spend 2 weeks arguing you didn't want to see Berbatov move to United at the time of his transfer?
The manager has picked the players he trusts most - Scholes, Giggs, Rooney, Fletcher.
So with Rio out we decide to also not play Carrick, even though the early part of the seaason showed how much we missed them both, and how much we improved once they were in the team.
I'm turning into Noodle.

Good bench ... seems as my guess, I was right about Park.
Three strikers on the bench is a bit of a lopside.
This.
Would have liked him to start ahead of Fletch.
OShea gives us hight, that's the positive about him starting ahead of Rafael. Hopefully he won't be too dodgy today.
Rooney needs to fecking perform.
Really? Having 3 strikers on there is pointless considering if one of our wide players get injured our entire game plan is fecked.
Are City going with 3 central defenders and two wingbacks? Or has Kolarov been playing winger recently?
Wanted Berba to start, hope Rooney has a good game
Why the flying feck is Carrick on the bench?
feck it, come on United!
feck it, come on United!
