Would love to see a Rooney/Mata combo from the start, is RVP any closer to a return?
 
Should be another win. Be sweet to thrash Poyet.

Mata has got to start this time, and the younger CBs.
 
De gea
Rafael Vidic Evans Evra
Carrick
Valencia Mata Kagawa Welbeck
Rooney​

Hope we batter them. Kagawa playing deeper, almost as the central midfielder. Welbeck out wide. Hopefully rafa is back fit, if not play jones.
Actually on second thought, would love to see Januzaj start this. So either above, or...

Back 5
Nani Carrick Fletcher Januzaj
Mata
Rooney​

Looking forward to helping send them mackem twats on their merry way to the championship. Will feel sorry for our ex players but nevermind, their fans deserve it.

4-0 again please Giggsy. :drool:
 
Those cnuts should be relegated and we should play our part in it.
 
Mata behind Rooney please. Welbeck cutting in from the left. Kagawa narrow too as expected.
Carrick and Fletcher in midfield.

Carrick--Fletcher; Kagawa--Mata--Welbeck; Rooney. Please and thank you.
 
Stop picking on innocent newbtards !! :(:(:(:(:(
 
I think this'll be more of a challenge at first. Sunderland starting well but Utd will get a goal against rop and wear them down. Eventually it'll become an easy 3-0.

Rooney, Welbeck n Mata.

Be interesting to see who he starts after Mata's double yet Welbeck getting the pen.

Kagawa

Mata
Rooney

SUBS: Lindegaard, Smalling, Fletcher, Valencia, Welbeck, Hernandez, van Persie.

Couple of changes to keep it fresh. Would like Nani given another go (he might beat the first man with his crosses unlike Valencia) and Mata will definitely come in I'm sure. RVP has been back in training this week so imagine he's in with a shout at the bench. Somehow would like to see Januzaj involved though; not really sure where he can fit in...

For fantasy purposes, do you guys think Jones will start this game and the next or Vidic?

I'm assuming Vidic will play the last home game against Hull for sure..
 
Looking forward to this. Ever since they Poznan'd against us on the last day of 2011/12 I have had a special sort of dislike for Sunderland. I'd love United to have a hand in sending them down. Hopefully Giggsy can send the side out really geed up so we smash in 4 or 5 and wreck their goal difference.
 
Send them down. For the love of god, send them down.
 
need to be wary with this one, remembering they went away to City and Chelsea and almost ruined the title race!

Can't see Norwich getting even a draw in their last 2 games, so can't see Sunderland going down now, but smashing them would still be great.
