I think we should kick the ball into the goal today.

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.
Preferably by a player not in an offside position, rather - in an ONSIDE position.

Sorry, I have no news on whether or not Rooney is part of today's squad.

get the feeling fergie could spring a few surprises today..... maybe a start for either owen/berba
What is this?
Wouldn't be surprised with Owen starting, but Berbatov didn't do enough at Leeds to justify starting him ahead of Hernandez or Welbeck.
One of manutd.com's journalists on twitter
Apparently Rooney's wife twitted they were watching a film together last night when the team was supposed to be away. So it raised some questions marks.
bollocks, we can rest him for the basel or norwich game at home if needed, not stoke away.
Btw how about this formation
De Gea
Jones-Rio-Evans-Evra
Fletch-Anderson
Tony-Young-Nani
Rooney
Loads of pace and creativity in this team. I'll still go with a 4-4-2 mind, but this could be an option in the future.

It doesn't seem anything new. Its quite simply a 4-5-1 we play in Europe with the exception of Young playing Giggs' role of midfield link up.
Think this could be a challenge today. I'll go for a narrow 2-1 win, but I wouldn't be surprised with a draw, and it wouldn't be a bad result given how good Stoke are at home (usually)
There are some worries about this one. It's not all that easy winning every game and only 3 days later on we have the champions league game waiting. Those things always make a difference.
I expect there to be many changes for the CL game. We'll probably rest a few for that and rest some of the others for Norwich.
It is when you start resting and rotating players you get this sort of effect. If Rooney is going to play 3 days from now he might start planning that ahead. I would hold the game against Basel as the thougher game + it's in the champions league. An away game in the league this early on is a typical slip up. I just hope this won't be the case and that we walk off with another 7-0 win like we usually do nowdays.
I hate everything about Stoke and their cretinous fans.
Stoke away and Rooney rested? I don't think so.
It will be the strongest team of course. We never rest players ahead of a Champions League group stage game anymore.

Rooney also tweeted about how many empty seats there were at the City v Everton game. Would the players be watching that game if prepping for their match?
Lots of rumours that Rooney won't start today due to hamstring trouble.
The match will be hard enough as it is without us missing Rooney as well

That game was quite a number of hours before our game.

It would make sense given Coleen's tweet last night.
He's in great for but we'll still win without him.
Hearing rumors that Rooney is out with a hamstring. feck me, is it true?
rumors.......the clues in the word. IF he don't play then we should still be strong enough
What's the source of these rumours?
Yes, but I doubt SAF would consider watching City to be adequate matchday preparation. If we were at home then fair enough, but I'd imagine the squad would be doing something all together.
Talkshite rumours
5 hours before kick off?
Rooney may well be injured and not play but you're talking rubbish.
We'll just wait and see I suppose.
He wasn't watching City, he was watching his boyhood club Everton. He was also tweeting about the Ranger-Celtic match just before our match with Chelsea, he did play that one.
Indeed.

No Rooney today at Stoke. Fit for Tuesday. #MUFC

That's come from my source. Been told he won't play and not on bench. Not from last night.... might be proved wrong but I doubt it.

Rumour is that it's a hamstring strain.
I hate when people write "might be proved wrong".
You know - you tweet.
You don't know - you don't tweet.

No one would ever tweet then.
There's nothing wrong with tweeting rumours going around as long as they're noted as such.
Mandy Henry just said on Mufc news that he is a major doubt,
Stan Collymore tweeting that Rooney is a major doubt for today. Hamstring strain.
