Still, here's to United, under Giggs, blitzing Norwich on Saturday. Wonder if they'll be passing it around the 18 yard line all evening?

I'd pick that formation, it's what the players are comfortable with after all. With Evra injured we'd need to play Buttner. Left flank does look a little weak, so we could have the option of picking Evans at LB if we want it to look a little more solid defensively. Welbeck upfront is a most for me, that's his best position, he scores goals and gets assists on a regular basis in that position and is a constant threat with his pace and trickery. I'd have Rooney and Welbeck swapping about when it feels natural. I.E. If Welbeck runs the right channel to pick up the ball, Rooney makes a B line to get in the CF position along with Mata.Rafael injured?

------- Smalling-----Vidic-----------
--Valencia---------------------Evra--
-----------Carrick----Jones----------
---Rooney------Kagawa-----Welbeck
---------------Hernandez------------
Lindegaard, Evans, Fletcher, Cleverly, Mata, Januzaj, Nani
PACE, POWER, ATTACK-ATTACK-ATTACK!
Mata on the bench for when Kagawa tires - Mata on for last 20 min, to skillfully administer the Coup de grâce. (before that he's no use as he can't run or tackle)
Don't want Fellaini any where near a shirt - send him a message.
Rehabilitate Cleverly - even if it's just to get a decent price for him. (£27 million to Everton?)
Nani - I'm feeling soft here - needs some pitch time before the world cup but really, I'd love Giggs to bring through a youngster.
That't not what Mata does at all, infact he is direct player who creates opportunities and would be a breath of fresh air in such a passing team which doesn't create much. Anyway, you don't rate Mata, I rate him as our 2nd best player behind RvP, so we won't agree here. End of discussion.Still, here's to United, under Giggs, blitzing Norwich on Saturday.

Calm down Tony Pulis.My claim is that he can't run or tackle & that kind of player, is a luxury United will not accept.
Can he run? How many yards does he give away, over 40 yards to say, a 33 year old Gerrard, who's just taken the ball off him on the edge of the Liverpool box & is breaking up-field?
Can he tackle? Well, no of course he can't, not even Scoles standard, leaving a foot in. He is a luxury player in a United shirt. Last 20 min when the opposition are tiring, fantastic - take them to pieces.
Valencia looses concentration occasionally, at RB but he's got to worth a punt, rather than paying 15 million.I'd pick that formation, it's what the players are comfortable with after all.

Carrick and Clev is our best midfield partnership imo so pick them. Valencia at RB although I'd love it if Giggs gave Varela a chance.

By occasionally do you mean almost every time he plays at right back?Valencia looses concentration occasionally, at RB but he's got to worth a punt, rather than paying 15 million.
I see Hernandez as chomping at the bit to prove a point but I've faith in Welbeck too.
Against Norwich, Buttner should be able to press - take the game to them & see them off by half time.
End of discussion NO, it isn't. Mata is a great player but not at United. Slows the play, hesitate, foot on the ball, pass it back, Cleverly in disguise. He wasn't at Chelsea but JM dropped him for good reasons. He's an individual & when United have had 'individuals', they also had all round contributions to give the team - even Eric would put his foot in - Mata?

I've liked the look of Buttner anyway going forward in the last few games. He's not as bad as people make out imo.Valencia looses concentration occasionally, at RB but he's got to worth a punt, rather than paying 15 million.

He tackled, not always legally but he tackled & got up & down when required - was also useful in opposition set pieces. Mata, P_lease.Calm down Tony Pulis.
Cantona never did much running or tackling either.
Cleverly in disguise
I guess you don't rate Ronaldinho either?He tackled, not always legally but he tackled & got up & down when required - was also useful in opposition set pieces. Mata, P_lease.
Yeh - I admit it - but in this very important fixture, I'd go with him over Smalling or Jones. I want to see us attacking, through the middle with Kagawa, Hernandez & wide with the full backs - the United way.By occasionally do you mean almost every time he plays at right back?
Bit strong perhaps
NO but he'll get him up for it, wherever he plays him.The question is... would Giggs "rest" Rooney in this game?
I think it depends, if Rooneys been unprofessional this year then he might. Certainly will be an interesting game! Probably the most interesting of this season!NO but he'll get him up for it, wherever he plays him.
Did he run like a 14 year old with shin splints?I guess you don't rate Ronaldinho either?
I have to disagree with this, every time I've seen Mata play he hardly ever loses possession and is always looking to pass it forward and attack. He's the closest we've got to Scholes imho in the team at the moment. And his attitude is outstanding.End of discussion NO, it isn't. Mata is a great player but not at United.

Me too but I just hold the opinion that eventually we'll find out as JM did that he's a non fit. I don't think for a moment, we'll be going down the 'progressive' road of Barca & Bayern - more Madrid for us please. Mata is not even Modric standards, so far as his all round contribution goes. Modric was supporting Coentrao, when the full back tired last night - I don't see Mata doing that - hope to be proved wrong.I have to disagree with this, every time I've seen Mata play he hardly ever loses possession and is always looking to pass it forward and attack.

I'm looking forward to seeing him play under a new, more attacking, manager.

United are here for Pre-Season. must see if I can catch a match.You never know. Went to a lot of matches back then.
Think his first game he'll just want to get the win under his belt and not taking risksWilliam Hill are offering 14-1 that Giggs gives a youth player his senior debut v Norwich.
Wilson come off early today vs Reading U21...William Hill are offering 14-1 that Giggs gives a youth player his senior debut v Norwich.
A cheeky tip off to a mate, followed by a 1min sub appearance for some youngster, and everyone cashes in.William Hill are offering 14-1 that Giggs gives a youth player his senior debut v Norwich.
