What was 2 weeks ago our best centre midfield pair available is now our best centre back pair available. I think Valencia's in CM today with Park, Welbeck and Nani on the wings.

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.
What was 2 weeks ago our best centre midfield pair available is now our best centre back pair available. I think Valencia's in CM today with Park, Welbeck and Nani on the wings.
I see us setting up as either
Or...
DDG
Valencia
Jones
Evra
Rafael
Nani
Park
Carrick
Welbeck
Hernandez
Berbs.
Think the latter's more likely to be honest.

Welbeck on the left, IMO
first league appearance for rafael!
subs: Anderson, Diouf, Lindegaard, Pogba, W Keane, Fryers, L Cole. NO ROONEY.
Good news that Jones is back and, finally, Rafael gets a Premier League game.
It's funny, because Carrick and Jones make a good midfield partnership and they are our centre-backs today.

fecking hell I just fell off my chair at that bench wow.
Anderson on bench? Was he expected back this quick?
subs; Lindegaard, Anderson, Diouf, Pogba, W. Keane, Fryers, Cole
damm we are really short of numbers in midfield and at the back, the injury lists must clear up soon since fergie is not fond of buying in January.
Cool.
Rooney, Giggs and Gibson must all be ill I guess.
Its probably more like Ferguson not gambling on Giggs playing 3 matches in 8-9 days...
Valencia right back, Rafael left back
Why is Cleverly 10/3 to score anytime on William Hill? Lower odds by far than 6 starters -_-
If we struggle, people will say we underestimated Blackburn.
SUBS: Lindegaard, Fryers, Cole, Pogba, Anderson, W Keane, Diouf.
Is Rooney rested or injured?
Quite some confidence he's showing. Good to see Ando there!
Wonder if Valencia will play centre mid?
What happen to Rooney?
I'm guessing we will set up like this
De Gea
Valencia--Evra--Jones--Rafael
Nani--Park--Carrick--Welbeck
Berbatov--Hernandez

De Gea

Nani--Park--Carrick--Welbeck
Berbatov--Hernandez
Is Rooney rested or injured?
Rested I presume, he was training yesterday.
Cool bench, bros
No Gibson, Giggs or Rooney in the 18? Please tell me we don't have more injuries.
Would be excellent if we could get a 2-3 goal lead with 20-30 mins left to play so we could see a couple of the youngster making their debut
It could be:
De Gea
Valencia Jones Evra Rafael
Nani Park Carrick Welbeck
Hernandez Berbatov
Valencia Jones Evra Rafael
Nani Park Carrick Welbeck
Hernandez Berbatov
Not surprised Rooney and Giggs dont start, but not even on the bench?
In SAF we trust.
In SAF we trust.
That bench is wank, and little wonder we saw pictures of all of them training with the first team. We have to got to win with this starting eleven, which should be done easily, i hope
The fact Carrick is playing makes us adaptable - if we do struggle, he can be pushed into CM, Evra can move to CB and Fryers on at LB, whilst removing one of the front three.
Yep, quite sure we will line up like that.
Hopefully, they have a chance to play in the second half
Ferdinand, Smalling, Vidic, Evans, Fabio, Fletcher, Cleverley, Giggs, Gibson, Rooney, Owen.
It'd challenge for Europe, that team.
It'd challenge for Europe, that team.
There is a possibility that it might be
--------De Gea
Valencia Jones Evra Rafael
------Carrick Park
Nani-----Berbatov--Welbeck
--------Hernandez
He did say he'd have no issue playing Evra at CB if needed.
Most attacking back-line in history of football?
Delighted to see Anderson on the bench. Real boost to have him available so soon.
What's wrong with the bench? The return of the slim-line, dreadless Anderson and the chance of three of our rising stars getting a league debut, I'd say that's ace.
Fergie must be going for goal difference
That's an interesting team.
Wait? Early kick off but not on Sky?
hope rooney is rested and not injured..
