The fact that Ashley Young is captain says it all.

 

[Tom Van Persie]

I didn't think that a day would come where we would be the underdogs in an EL march against the mighty Anderlecht at the mighty Old Trafford after spending £150m. It's amazing really!

How are we underdogs? We got an away goal in the first leg.

 

[Borden]

BELIE4E

Do you believe in life in top four?

 

[Name Changed]

Oh what is he resting our top goal scorer for then?

What? He decided that today was the day he was going to rest him? Today? In the match against our toughest opposition? He wasn't prioritising until today.

 

[kopviolator]

Incredibly mediocre team considering the mountains of money we've spent last three years. And now it looks Jose is conceding the fourth to keep players fresh for the Europa league.

 

[Name Changed]

Things are much worse than you thought.

 

[Shuriken]

Herein lies the problem.

And besides, he had no problem fielding full-strength teams in the focking League Cup and FA Cup… where he would've had perfect opportunities to rotate and give the younger players some playing time. But no that wasn't a problem at all… all of the sudden it is.

What is Mou's damn plan? Is he so egotistical that he's guarding himself for a loss, that he can point it to not being his regular squad?

Playing on a Sunday and then on a Thursday is no damn different from playing on a Saturday and then on Wednesday, as can happen in the CL.

Sorry for my frustration, but I'm baffled and can't grasp this. He's already given up despite us not being out of the top-4 yet.

 

[Irrational.]

I'm eagerly awaiting the epic battle of Fellaini vs Kante. They will write books and songs about it, one day.

Kante will run through Fellaini's legs all game. It's like a human nutmeg.

 

[Bastian]

@DomesticTadpole "not risked" is the perfect way to put it. He's not been risked for a long while now.

 

[Janson]

The same people chucking a hissy fit about the line up are the same that would whinge about players looking tired on thursday.

The team needs to be thoroughly rotated. We have a game today, thursday and Sunday. Who are these magic world class squad players that jose should be selecting? This is the fecking squad, are we really bitching because he's using them?

Martial obviously.

 

[Mr.Plow]

The quality of our squad is really just appalling. No wonder we're 6th.

 

[el3mel]

Don't overreact

 

[Random Task]

Chelsea need a result with Spurs breathing down their necks and they will set out to win the game today. But I've got this nagging feeling we're going to turn them over, comfortably.

We will win today 3-1. I'm certain of it.

Can people gain a little composure ffs? Enough of the hyperbolic bullshit.

It is an odd team though. Hopefully it's one of those times when the really weird team selection works when all logic suggests it shouldn't.

 

[El-Manos]

That line-up is pure dirt.

 

[BringNaniBack]

I didn't think that a day would come where we would be the underdogs in an EL march against the mighty Anderlecht at the mighty Old Trafford after spending £150m. It's amazing really!

Where did you get the idea we are the underdogs? We aren't.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

@DomesticTadpole "not risked" is the perfect way to put it. He's not been risked for a long while now.

Not being risked or he is a risk?

 

[2 man midfield]

The players starting today have scored 12 goals this season

 

[C3Pique]

Is there really no midfielders in the academy who can pick a pass better than Fellaini ffs? We'll need to counter quickly to create any chances and he can't pass it forwards or further than 5 yards.

 

[minoo-utd]

Lingard, Fellaini , Darmian, and Young in one team selection a Man.Utd team selection seriously? The 4 of them should feck off in a heartbeat.

 

[PlayerOne]

The trick is sit and hope to get a chance or two on the counter with the pace we have up front. We are playing to stop Chelsea rather than going out to try and win the game which isn't on IMO. This is a must win game and we are at home, we should be throwing everything we have at them.

This plan only works if we're clinical, which we're not. This game has a draw written all over it tbh.

And having someone like Fellaini makes the whole counter attacking thing seem kinda pointless, he's slow and slows us down

 

[shaggy]

Is there really no midfielders in the academy who can pick a pass better than Fellaini ffs? We'll need to counter quickly to create any chances and he can't pass it forwards or further than 5 yards.

Mourinho absolutely loves him. It's completely bizarre.

 

[edcunited1878]

People keep complaining about Tree and now Young being captain. Now on NBCSN in America, Robbie Earle gives Young flack. Wayne Rooney is our club captain and rightfully so is finally being phased out.

Our club is being cleaned out and Jose has that responsibility. If Wayne leaves, we will undergo another significant change starting with club captain under Jose.

Today's match pales in comparison to Thursday and if that fact hurts people, so be it. That's the unfortunate reality and state of this club.

 

[evra]

The fact that Ashley Young is captain says it all.

I feel sick

 

[ManUtd1999]

Do you believe in life in top four?

At this stage, we got nothing to do but to believe in the manager and the team. I don't like this lineup and I certainly don't like parking the bus at OT (if that's what ultimately happens), but what else we could do other than believing?

 

[shield]

We might win with that lineup but we mostly won't. It does not work that way. You actually need quality to beat top teams or you lose and we have always struggled against Chelsea even with title winning teams. We will struggle today. Hope it does not end up in another embarrassment.

 

[Dobba]

The players starting today have scored 12 goals this season

Is that including pre-match warm-ups?

 

[Godfather]

Incredibly mediocre team considering the mountains of money we've spent last three years. And now it looks Jose is conceding the fourth to keep players fresh for the Europa league.

This is the crazy thing. Not like we have a huge number of injuries in our attack neither. Just Mata. We have no quality up front apart from Ibra

 

[No Idea For Nickname]

Jose is clever man. Conte and team are laughing their heads of in the dressing room, "Fellaini??? hahah, Young??? hahah, Darmian??? hahahah. We are going to smash them!"
They are going to be very much shocked when we are 3-0 after 20 minutes!!
what? one can dream, right?

 

[Janson]

Can people gain a little composure ffs? Enough of the hyperbolic bullshit.

It is an odd team though. Hopefully it's one of those times when the really weird team selection works when all logic suggests it shouldn't.

I don't see why it shouldn't work, it's a good defensive lineup with a lot of hard workers and good mix between youth and experience.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Mourinho absolutely loves him. It's completely bizarre.

It's like he is someone he has rescued and needs extra tlc.

 

[2 man midfield]

Is that including pre-match warm-ups?

 

[Man-United]

Ashley Young deserves to be captain. From being almost hated on here by many, he's one who cares about the fans. Just follow him on twitter and instagram and it shows that he's just a down to earth guy so happy to be playing for United and knows how to behave outside football as a United player.

Well done, Ash!

I don't think Conte and his team are members on the caf.

What, the same Lingard from Manchester who helped us win the FA and League cup? He deserves to be in that team more than the likes of Martial. Maybe you should feck off.

 

[flappyjay]

If he snatches a win he is gonna look great. If we lose he has a ready made excuse

 

[dichinero]

Where did you get the idea we are the underdogs? We aren't.

The state of the line up suggests so, with the EL mind. José should be able to beat Anderlecht at home with a weakened side. We are without far too many of our better players tonight.

 

[prath92]

I'm more scared of Herrera and rojo jumping into tackles and getting sent off more than anything (though Rojo has been better off late)

 

[Raoul]

[Irrelevant point] just went back to the dressing room. Not sure if injured or what.
