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.
We need to put out our strongest possible eleven again and batter them into next fecking week.
Has the squad been released?
Has the squad been released?
Have a feeling it's going to be another case of us throwing everything forward and coming up short in the final third. Still think we'll win, but not by more then a couple of goals.
I would try Anderson and Valencia on the wings.
Why Anderson? I mean, it worked so well against Burnley last time he played there, that being his only game out wide this season.
can we actually afford to have thread? I thought we were skint.
Its on credit.
I borrowed against Berbatov to make this thread.
PIK's again...14%?
Simply because I think he is a decent player, but doesn't have the creativity in the middle. Maybe his power would be better out wide.
well put
I had a dream the other night that we won this in injury time 
3-2!!!
If it comes true, im going to burn myself.
However, I did the score the winning goal.

However, I did the score the winning goal.
Best case scenario:
van der Sar, Rafael, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra, Valencia, Carrick, Anderson, Giggs, Rooney, Berbatov.
SUBS: Kuszczak, Neville, Evans, Park, Obertan, Scholes, Owen.
However, any of van der Sar, Ferdinand and Berbatov may not be available for selection. From the press I estimate Vidic will be ready, and Owen will start I think if Berbatov doesn't make it.
Plus, it's going to be my first time at Old Trafford!
wowee!!!! Fantastic, chuffed for you.
Have a great day - hope we put on a show for you. Do let the cafe know about your day and how it felt to finally see the team live.
Looks like VDS may be back.
Looking forwards to this now. Another game like the Wigan one will help lift spirits.
Hoping to see Nani and Macheda make the bench after injury.
A start for Owen too, possibly.

Good luck! Hope yours is better than mine - it was against Besiktas in November. I even got a mention in the matchday programme.
I will take 3 points, but I feel we need a good performance!
7-0 (Rooney 2, Valencia, Diouf 2, Anderson, Giggs)

Fletcher is suspended.
Edit: Was reading SSN and they mentioned possibility of Vida playing and even have him in projected starting line up. So did quick search on Getty for latest training images - no sign of Vida training. Foster is though.

Check out Oberhead hiding behind Park to stay warm - maybe should have worn the leg warmy thingies.
VDS (feels great to write his name finally)
Rafael (I get giddy writing his name on the starting 11) Vidic Evans Evra
Valencia Carrick Anderson NANI
Rooney Owen
We will be hungry. Many players will try to impress and Burney needs to be put in their place after beating us earlier in the year.
Nani to score a cracker.

Unleash the Diouf upon them. They won't stand a chance.
I hope we get to see Diouf but not chasing for a winner in the last 15 minutes again, sort these feckers out early and enjoy the second half for once please!
if anderson scores with his fat arse for a 1 nil i'll take it. 3 points is the most important
A big win with VDS back would instill a belief within the squad and with Rio and Vida to come back it could be the start of something special!!

nice thought but I hope we save the 6 nil we have in us for the return of the dippers in march!
Rooney and Scholes have weird boots
I actually hope Nani starts too, frustrating player and not all that great but talented and exciting when he plays well
1-0 would be a very satisfying result in all honesty. I want to see 6 1-0 wins on the trot.
Evra reveals crunch Man Utd player talks while in Qatar
16.01.10 |
Patrice Evra says Manchester United held crunch talks during their week away in Qatar.
After disappointing results against Leeds and Birmingham, United have spent the last week training in Qatar.
And Evra revealed: "It was a chance to make sure everyone understands we must not throw the league away.
"We talked a lot about tactics and what we needed to achieve until the end of the season. It is a chance to write the story. A lot of people talk about Manchester United's attack but if you look back at our last three titles, the real strength is the defence. The performance in Barcelona two years ago was the best performance of the entire team.
"When we are a unit like that, it is difficult to beat Manchester United. People say we are not going to win the title and we have dropped too many points. But I am proud and happy where we are.
"I fear no-one. I only fear Manchester United."
