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 just hope SAF wont play Richardson. I`d rather pick a fan from the OT tonight but not R. He is so rubbish.
this is the team he will play i reckon.
kick off 7.45?
just saw it..
Can I ask why you seem to think we will play Solskjaer on the wing and Giggs up front when the former is a striker and the latter a winger?
The way to win this game is traditional United footie, quick on the break down the wings.

SAF seems to favour this of late, not sure why and im not saying we should just that we will. I would drop ole in favour of smith personally and put giggs back in the mid.
I hope CQ and SAF will be more tatically inclined this time
round. United is playing Roma and not Watford or Bolton.
United needs defenders that can read the game and will be
a step faster or have the ability to produce good recovery type of tackles.
Heinze has shown that he can do it whether at left back or
anywhere else. I dare to say that even Vidic will find it difficult
to paly against Roma's style but not Heinze and Evra.
You need player with low CG to do the job tonite.
The other option is of course the good old English way, that is to play
the big, bustling forwards and pump the ball up the air. Their GK Doni
is not so good in dealing with them. But unfortunately, United doesn't have
this type of forward; Smith has forgotten how to do it as he spent
most of his time in mid-field and Rooney is somewhat like a bull
without horns nowadays.

Frigging nerves are killing me, I haven't been able to concentrate at anything since 1500 today.I have no fingernails left and the kick-off is at least 2hrs away.
I'm not at all confident about this game
1st class mug? And now you are resorting to petty insults, is it? Class.
Heinze is too short to play as CB. He is better off as a LB. You need to understand that. Can he play as CB? Yes he can. He will be decent, nothing great. In conclusion, it was my opinion that his height will be a disadvantage as a CB. But you being a smug, came out calling it stupidity. You need to understand that I am merely stating my opinion.
Hope that helps.
i couldn't sleep last night, if that's any consolation.
sure lets play a player coming off injury from the start and out of positionpanucci is roma's weakest link in defence, we need ronaldo to keep running at him.
A bit strange the way people are guessing the team today.
Nr.1) Fergie has never played Heinze in the middle. There have been nothing to suggest he will today either.
Nr.2) Three man defence?! Do people on here even watch United? I have never ever seen Sir Alex field a side with only three defenders. Why the hell would he do it today?!

:lol I see Totti has overcome back problems, hamstring worries and nineteen bullet wounds to make the starting lineup.
i doubt it. Pannucci is probably the most experienced. it's the other one who's the weakest link. sorry, his name escapes me, but it end in "---etti"
as expected
and what, pray tell, was the point of leaving Solskjaer out at the weekend then?
only Evra and Ole can change the game from that bench. feck! - we'll probably need to do the business with the starting 11.
Rooney on the left I'd say, with smithy up front on his tod!
Ole is the super-sub, it's our 'secret' weapon. I'm sure he'll feature in the second half if smudger isn't on top form.
Go on United!
Save Solskjaer for being a sub, then he can really hurt them. I hope Smith is up to the task tonight. He needs to find his sharpness in front of goal again. Give their keeper and defence hell!
I have a feeling Smith will score tonight.
What are on the odds of Smith getting sent off?
I have a huge feelings he will get sent off

I hope smith doesn't repeat schole's mistake, these italian cnuts are masters in paly-acting.
same here...he looked sharp the last couple of times he has played...this may be the turning point for him...
I like the team tonight. It is the best we could put out and we have Ole to come off the bench and save us if needs be.
So all in all time to be positive, I have been negative all day but after seeing them Italian cnuts outside Old Trafford I hope we fecking twat them now.
Come on you feckers time to get behind the lads no matter what happens, keep the faith, remember this is United we are watching tonight NEVER SAY DIE!!!!!

Smithy to score twice as we win 3-1!
Come on Smith!
Show your worth son!
Show your worth son!
Worried about O'shea at right back.
i've never rated Smith as a player. i hope to feck he shows me to be a Ihni binni dimi diniwiny anitaime tonight. a grade A feckin cnut of a Ihni binni dimi diniwiny anitaime!
i thought he sorted out Mancinin really well first leg. however, his distribution, composure on the ball and forward movement was shite .
Neither am I.
I hope you do turn out to be "a grade A feckin cnut of a Ihni binni dimi diniwiny anitaime".
You are half way there though by not rating Smith in the first place
