We're Man United, We'll do what we want. That's why.Why is Europa League same day as Champions League?

I think this is true.He should be made to earn his game times, not just be selected by default especially after a dreadful performance from him just a week away.Fellaini starting is shit. His last performance was so bad, he should be made to earn his place back in the side.
Not sure about risking Pogba & Zlatan - would've preferred them on the bench & only playing if necessary. Was hoping TFM would've got a chance to play.
I don't mind him putting this ahead of the FA Cup at all to be fair... but at the same time, I really don't see him playing a second-string against Chelsea either. Still, considering our draw, you can easily argue it should be our 3rd priority trophy, considering we'd probably have to beat 3 of Chelsea/City/Spurs and Arsenal to win it.Jose doesn't feck about in the knock-out stages of cup competitions. Interesting the way he seems to be prioritising this higher than the FA Cup. I guess that's the reality re how far the latter has fallen in estimation. Just don't tell the beeb. It will break their little hearts...
On a side note, the comments re the line-up are hilariously predictable.
"OMG, why is he picking x? He's fecking useless!"
"WTF?! Why has he picked such a strong team? Doesn't he know we've a cup final at the weekend?"
Does. Not. Compute...
Or its our third cup game in a row.Third game in a row DDG is being rested. Jose quietly putting a statement there that Man Utd are not as reliant on him anymore.
St. Etienne and Lyon are both at home and their fans don't get on well so the St. Etienne game was moved to today. Similar story with Fenerbahce game. No idea why Schalke was moved too.Why is Europa League same day as Champions League?
That so called negative selection was the winning run team in 4-3-3, mind you.Hmmmm, Carrick/Pogba/Schweini as the 3 man midfield tonight would be interesting to see.
Jose has talked a lot about needing to play a certain way at United and understanding this, if he goes into our first cup final under him against an average side like Southampton, with a negative selection I don't think it will be well recieved, we've hit form again with Pogba a bit deeper and Mkhitaryan as the #10, I hope he sticks with that on Sunday.
Because Lyon and Etienne are just 31 miles apart they cannot play home games on the same day.Why is Europa League same day as Champions League?
Or maybe just giving him some downtime and mental/physical rest as Jose knows he needs it, by seeing his missus etc, and he will be called on a lot for the rest of the season.Third game in a row DDG is being rested. Jose quietly putting a statement there that Man Utd are not as reliant on him anymore.
It was but then it stalled and we got back in form again with the 4-2-3-1. I never thought I'd favour the latter but Mkhitaryan as the #10 has really improved our attacking creativity IMO.That so called negative selection was the winning run team in 4-3-3, mind you.
Basically this. We have Bastian on the bench, why not start someone who can actually pass the ball and read the play if they both are equally incapable of running? Eh That half-time substitution didn't mean anything after allMy mighty God, who is a fecking possibility that The Tree is getting a starting spot once again? How come Fellaini is still a United player?
I would rather have Zaha, Bellion or even Cleverley back in the team instead of Fellaini. Dreadful player and horrible technique.
Zlatan does not require rest, he is Zlatan.3-0 up surely could've rested zlatan here.
Carrick will most likely not play on Sunday. Will probably be Herrera-Pogba in the final, since they've done a good job recently.Strong team, my only worry is Carrick playing and what is fitness will be like for the weekend.
Mou obviously knows his players and who can play their best in the final. Ibra and Pogba are machines! They are in great form and obviously react well to playing every 4 days.
I'd say Carrick playing today is an indicator he won't be starting at the weekend.Strong team, my only worry is Carrick playing and what is fitness will be like for the weekend.

plenty of time between now and the final. I'm guessing ibra, Mata and carrick will be subbed at some point.Likewise, would have expected him to a rest a few ahead of the final on Sunday. Shows he's very keen on winning the EL.
Yea that's what I was afraid of. Would be good to have an experience head on the pitch to calm things down on SundayI'd say Carrick playing today is an indicator he won't be starting at the weekend.
whats Rooney's excuse? Is he apartment hunting in Shanghai?Tweet

True, get a goal or two so the tie is put to bed then take them off.plenty of time between now and the final. I'm guessing ibra, Mata and carrick will be subbed at some point.
Did you ever even see Bellion play ?!My mighty God, who is a fecking possibility that The Tree is getting a starting spot once again? How come Fellaini is still a United player?

Well, St Etienne are better than Blackburn tbh.Jose doesn't feck about in the knock-out stages of cup competitions. Interesting the way he seems to be prioritising this higher than the FA Cup.

Does. Not. Compute...
Of course, I totally agree. But you can see, like today, that Mourinho is totally willing to sacrifice the 4-2-3-1 for pragmatic reasons.It was but then it stalled and we got back in form again with the 4-2-3-1. I never thought I'd favour the latter but Mkhitaryan as the #10 has really improved our attacking creativity IMO.
Came here to post the exact same thing.. anyone who got a 11/11 should explain5/11
Why are we using so many players who will start in the cup final here? Very strange.
Its not about DDG. Its more about Romero getting some games in the cups and its been 3 cups in a row.Third game in a row DDG is being rested. Jose quietly putting a statement there that Man Utd are not as reliant on him anymore.
