Good line-up, pointless game really, bad season overall glad it's over and we will be back stronger. Only 1 question to ask now...
WHERE'S LOUIS???
WHERE'S LOUIS???
I'm going for a 2-1 win. Welbeck and RVP to score.
I wouldn't be that surprised if we go like this:
Januzaj, Fletcher, Kagawa, Mata
RVP, Welbeck
RVP, Welbeck
Kagawa's passing isn't the problem, it's what happens when the opposition have the ball. At home against a Hull side already safe and thinking of an FA cup final is one thing, and even then he looked awkward but we're playing Southampton away. As much as Carrick gets slated on here and he has been poor this season, I still think we're better off playing him.
Giggs inherited Fergie's knack for overlooking CM, and then some! Very attacking line-up though so I'm not moaning. Let's hope we're on the front foot more often than not otherwise Fletch will be busy!
I hope not.Where is Lindergaard these days?
Should be an entertaining match. Shame about Giggsy though, was hoping he'd play.
Will be interesting to watch Adnan up against Luke Shaw.

I doubt it would be a rigid 4-4-2 with these players. Someone has to play in the hole.
He had a virus recently, so I take it he hasn't fully recovered yet.
Kagawa has the best engine in our team as proven by his ridiculous bleep test results.
Oh, ye. Should be an interesting battle.
It really seems Giggs doesn't really rate Fellaini, does he?
Even when he was good Carrick was shite in games against teams like Southampton. Nice to see Giggs thinking about Kagawa as a player good enough on the ball to cope in the middle.
You never know and it doesn't necessarily mean it will be 'rigid'. In our game against Hull we all thought it it was Fellaini CM and Kagawa off the front man. I don't think it will be that today but I wouldn't be surprised.
What did he get?
And I just mean how he looks off the ball. Players like Modric, Cabaye, Gundogan, etc, all get stuck in and look dogged, at times, whereas, I have never really seen that from Shinji.
Yup. For the second time he didn't even make the bench!
Can't remember where I first heard it, but search 'Kagawa training CM' on Twitter and there were a few rumours back in Feb about it. I didn't get the rumour off Twitter, honestly can't remember where I heard it from.
It's confusing as to why Giggs seems to rate Kagawa as a central midfielder.
Who does?
Interesting pitch design.
So Moyes viewed him as a CM? Odd that he never played them there and Giggs has already. We'll see how he does today.
Pretty sure I heard he got injured a few weeks back.
I'd love to get paid to drive a lawnmower around in daft directions all week before matchday.
Interesting pitch design.

UFO?
With that starting line-up, there will be scored at least 5 goals in this game.
Giggs has said he wants his midfield to run past the ball. So Kagawa playing there shouldn't be too surprising as he can be very good further up if like minded players are with him. It only works though if we have a deep midfielder clearing up behind the attackers.
Interesting pitch design.
Groundsman was on Acid yesterday...
That's a brilliant line up.
Who does rate Fellaini? Well apart from Moyes.
He got the best score since Beckham. I don't know exactly how the test works, but apparently, both him and Becks finished(?) it.
Gutted Giggs isn't even on the bench. He may well have played his last ever game for us 
.
Could be the last appearance Ferdinand and Evra make for the club as well and it's definitely Vidic's last game in a United shirt. The 08 team is moving on.
Anyway, having seen the lineup, I have absolutely no idea what the score will be. I reckon there will be a lot of goals though.

If you believe the rumours, Kagawa's been training as a CM for a few months now.
crop circles
I sense a ridiculous last game as per last season, 3-3 draw or maybe a 4-3 United win.
Hopefully at least three for us.

Its quite an act of selflessness when you consider he has the ultimate power to play himself but instead gave his teammates the chance to play in the final fixture.
That CM lacks serious legs.
