Yeah good lineup, though i would put phil in for giggs and put phil back next to keano. Giggs doesnt deserve to play this game. And also im pretty sure gary will retain his spot...

3-1 United :devil:
 
In all of this we have to remember it's only 1-0. Any goal by any manner and the game is wide open again. The player's will give their all this game and anything can happen when we get desperate.

I think one of either Ronnie or Giggs will start on the bench,with Fortune starting to keep it tight for a while. Rooney will play on the left.

Hopefully the crowd will get anxious and get on their backs.

Giggs doesn't deserve to play this game? :lol:

And you would rather play Phil Neville, tell me what more Neville has done than Ryan.

We will be needing a more attacking flair as Millan might bottle it and start defending, well that's my prediction.

And to insist that Fortune gets ahead of Giggs is suicidel, we need early goals to dominate this time so we'll see.

I can't see the 4-4-2 working well as the whole team has adapted to the 4-3-3.

Agreed, unless Gaz is ready in which case Brown would partner Rio.
 
LONDON, March 7 (Reuters) - Manchester United's England defender Gary Neville and French striker Louis Saha will miss Tuesday's crunch Champions League match at AC Milan.
"Gary Neville's out," manager Alex Ferguson told Sky Sports News at Manchester airport on Monday. Neville suffered an ankle injury against Portsmouth on February 26 and missed Saturday's 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace.

United's website said Saha would not be making the trip after getting injured in training.

Ferguson's men are trailing 1-0 from the first leg at Old Trafford two weeks ago.
 
I feel sorry for the guy to be honest, hes good player but it must be so frustrating being injured so much! i recently been unjured for 4 weeks and ive been really fed up! imagine if that kept happening, i wouldnt know what to do and im certainly nowhere near where saha is, altho some say i am ;)
 
Provisional squad: Howard, Ricardo, Carroll, P Neville, Brown, Silvestre, Ferdinand, Heinze, O'Shea, Fortune, Ronaldo, Keane, Scholes, Giggs, Smith, van Nistelrooy, Rooney, Bellion, Rossi

------------------- Howard -----------------------
- Brown -- Ferdinand ------ Silvestre -- Heinze --
-------------------- Keane -----------------------
---------- Scholes ------------ Giggs --------------
-- Ronaldo --------------------------- Rooney ----
------------------van Nistelrooy-----------------

bench: Carroll, Smith, Bellion, P.Neville, O'Shea, Fortune, Rossi

that would be a safe bet ;)
 
We'll go out, but we'll go out fighting.

Howard
Back Four
Keane
Scholes
Giggs
Rooney
Ronaldo
Ruud

We can pick any formation we want as long as we ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK.
 
We really can't concede tomorrow so I think Neville will play midfield. Rather we just went after them and let adrenaline do all the work.
 
I think they'll come at us straight away hoping to get one in and then force us to score 2 or more. so we better start off tight at the back and stay that way.

having said that: we win 1-2 on the night, 2-2 agg.

my biggest fear is can I watch this one live. busy as feck here at work so I better get off this site now.

But was he injured every second while at Fulham??.

Honestly, I didn't pay that much attention to him when he was at Fulham. That's past, though, and since he's been with us it seems that he's been injured more often than not.
 
I don't think Man utd should start with RvN upfront. He didn't look match fit at all against Portsmouth so I think Man utd should go 4-3-3. A fully fit RvN would be a handfull for Nesta+Maldini but they won't have too many problems against a 70% fit RvN. Keep it tight and just keep hold of the ball for long periods. Play Rooney upfront, Giggs, Fortune, Keane, Scholes, Ronaldo in midfield and the usual defense. When needed that 4-3-3 can become 4-5-1 to keep things tight.

I think Man utd will win this match. Reason is first Jaap Stam will probably play and that guy horribly unbalances their defense and the whole Italian mentality of just sitting back on their 1 goal lead will come back to haunt them again.
 
Poor Ricardo doesn't get a match with United and now he can't even get his name in the picture caption. :lol:
