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.
VDS is definately out. Rio and Owen are back though.
Dong Plz
Isn't confirmed that either will be back actually
at least both still have a chance of playing unlike VDS.
Anyone going to have a feed for this, or is it an expensive trip to the pub?

We have started the Christmas period well and I will freshen things up a bit on Wednesday," said Ferguson.
"I have players like Darren Fletcher, John O'Shea, Nani, Louis Saha and Park Ji-sung, who is back in the squad now. They are all fit and fresh so we've got a few options
Oh dear. As long as O'Shea doesn't start, i dn't mind the rest much.
Is the game on wednesday or thursday?
wednesday.
I don't think Giggs will play at all. Nani-Ronaldo start and Park on the bench. Giggs rested for the West Ham game.

That would be a good option.
Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised to see SAF giving Giggs the day off, and letting him stay home with the wife and kids.
If Saha is fit then I can see Tevez on the bench.
I suspect Rooney and Ronaldo don't want any time off at the moment and are probably better off playing than training.
O'shea at fullback is fine imo.
It will be a tough game this one. They'll kick us about a bit, and they need the points.
Fancy us to win ugly 1-3. Ronaldo, Tevez, Evra.

O´shea in for Rio if not fit.
We should win this one quite comfortable although Sunderland can be tricky on their day, especially at home. If we score early, we´ll batter them, if not we might struggle.
I´ll predict a 0 - 3 win, double from Fletcher and one from Saha.

I wouldn't play Saha, Nani, or any of the other non regulars until we have wrapped the game up, we mustn't take Sunderland lightly, yes, we need Nani and Saha to get games, but the three points must come first, once they are in the bag, then we can make the changes.
Tough game with their crowd, sense of injustice at recent events and the Keano factor. I'll go for a squeeky-bum win. The odd goal in three maybe.
this is correct...just the sort of game we slip up in when we dont prepare right be it mentally or selection. sunderland will be breathing fire

We can rest players for the New Years Day game at OT. We need strong sides out away at Sunderland and WHU.
This team would be freshened up anyway via the introduction of Rio and Hargreaves.
Though I fear we will see mass rotation.

true again. logic wold suggest if you are going to rotate do it in the home games for godsake.
I would like to see this team too, possibly with Carrick in there instead of Hargreaves. Nani, Park and Saha should all get the chance if and when we wrap up the game.
I can see United scoring early there and ripping them to shreds on the counter, Sunderland are a naive, perenially unlucky team, they remind me of Robson's West Brom, they'll be fighting to stay up all year
Are United legends Richardson and Miller in contention for this one? Should be an emotional match for them two...
Richardson is still out with a back injury.
We take the piss, but I think that these two players would have a point to prove if they stepped out onto the pitch against us.
I guess Miller is still suspended for his red card against Chelsea? Doesn't matter IMO, it isn't as he exists or anything.
Yes. Still suspended.
Keane: I Have No United Regrets
Roy Keane says he has no regrets from his time as a player at Manchester United - and that includes how he left the club. The Irishman also paid tribute to former team-mate Ryan Giggs
Ahead of the Boxing Day meeting against his former club, Sunderland boss Roy Keane has insisted he wouldn't have done anything in his Manchester United playing career differently. And that, says the Irishman, includes the controversy that saw him exit Old Trafford.
Keane, who skippered United for many years, left the club in November 2005 by 'mutual consent' after angering Sir Alex Ferguson with comments about his team-mates in an MUTV interview.
However, Keane insists that his 12-and-a-half-year stay at Old Trafford is remembered fondly. "I had a brilliant time there. It was everything I thought it would be - fantastic, brilliant. I loved every minute of it," said the Sunderland boss.
"I don't have regrets about how it ended, other people might. All good things come to an end.''
Giggs The Shining Example
Keane is known for his forthright views on the attitudes of many players in the modern game, and the Irishman says the one man who epitomises above all others how it should be done is United veteran Ryan Giggs.
"Giggsy is a top man, a great player and a great example to everybody," said Keane. "Over 16-18 seasons, he's a great example to every player out there. He's not picked up many injuries, looks after himself, and is a decent lad.''

I got a bad feeling Ronaldo may be rested with Fergie stating he make some changes to the line-up, and that be a farce.
I feel he might rest Giggs for Nani and Anderson for Hargreaves.
