I'm predicting a game a bit like the Rangers one at OT. They will shut up shop and make it impossible to play football. It might seem like a strange choice and I can't think of another time I'd pick him on merit rather than rotation but I'd like to see Owen up front for this one. His experience and predatory instinct could be vital to nicking a couple of goals. I'd worry Berbatov wouldn't have the predatory instinct and Hernandez might struggle if they cramp it up and leave no space while playing Rooney up top could be a bit daft against such poor opposition, we should have the quality in midfield to not play 3 in the centre.

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.
In a normal scenario, absolutely.
But, we're going into this match with 2 points in 2 games. a draw here and we'd need 2 wins and a draw of the last 3 games to go through. that'd be a bad situation to be in.
would you really rather draw tonight and win vs city rather than win tonight and draw the city game?
For me, guaranteeing qualification to the KO stages is much more important than the city game. a draw wouldnt really be the end of the world, a draw tonight and we'l make sure we give ourselves a real chance of going out.
Statistically they are the dirtiest team in the CL. Expect yellow cards aplenty.
0-100
0-3
It'll still be the wrong team?
Sky Sports 4 if anyone else is wondering..........
We ote beat them.
If you look at both teams on paper then you'd really expect us to give them a bloody good hiding. Unfortunately football doesn't work like that.
I'd take a scrappy one nil win in truth.

lets hope we dont have any more injuries.
This is a big worry. I just hope we don't risk vidic tonight.
I'm amazed that nobody has made an unwashed gypsy joke yet, pc gone mad.
None of the pubs will be showing the Shitty match anyway, they don't have any supporters...

But he also aludes to the fact that he has several teams he could name that would be very strong still. Almost saying "it'll be a strong team but even my reserves are strong...".
Their kit is red white and blue.
What will we wear
What will we wear
do we have that yellow and green kit still
Their kit is red white and blue.
What will we wear
It's primarily just red and white stripes with blue numbers, lettering and a small bit of detail, therefore I imagine our blue/black away.
A win will do
Quite excited for this for some reason, I always excited to see us play but I'm really excited today, hopefully we can get two goals before half time so we can protect certain players for the weekend.
I'd love to see us rack up a nice score line against this crowd tonight, 3 or 4 nil to us & get away injury free would be a nice way get ready for the weekend.
I'm the opposite, I have never felt less excited about a game. Most of United's CL matches are fairly dull tbh.
Looking forward to it because we are playing a strong team and we should smash them.
United to face Galati : Lindegaard; Fabio, Vidic, Smalling, Evra; Nani, Anderson, Carrick, Valencia; Rooney, Hernández
Good lineup.
Good lineup.
I agree, I can see attendances and TV audiences across Europe really dwindling if they don't find a way to change the format. Lots of the grounds are half empty anyway for the group stages.
Sauce?
Good side that

Eye Tee Vee or Sky?
Why not play De Gea again? I do not see the point.
Sky mate.
Bench: De Gea, Evans, Jones, Fletcher, Berbatov, Welbeck, Owen.
Perfect line-up. Gets Valencia a game and saves Young and Welbeck for City.
I'm sure he just wants to give Lindegaard as many games as he can if he feels it won't cost the team. I think he can handle this game.
Good line up.
That's the lineup I wanted for Pool damn it.
It's the side show on uefa.
Really feel for Berba
Very good line up. Excited to see Vidic back. Perfect game for him to make his comeback and get ready for City.
Does anyone have a stream that will work on a mac?
Thankss
Thankss
Lindegaard needs games too. Both new keepers both deserve a chance.
I think its a very good idea.
De Gea even though he has started to look the part has healthy competition
