Anyone know if Rafael will start tonight? Always been a sort of favourite of my during the end of Fergie's years. Would be nice to see him play against us, could tell he truly loved he club.

Also expecting us to rotate with Mata putting in another MOTM performance.

Shows how much we care about this game.

Don't know how, these next two games are crucial and could send us to the knockouts.

Good lineup. Thought Cavani would start, but obviously won't complain about more Rashford. Great to see VdB in a deeper midfield role, as well as Tuanzebe and Henderson.

 

[Judas]

Good team, we really should win, so lets see what happens.

 

[thegregster]

Fantastic.

VDB in CM.

Think its everyone obsessing over election right now and us needing to get 2 wins against the worst team in the CL to qualify out of the group that has people less hyped for this

 

[TMDaines]

VDB, Mata, Bruno, Rashford, Martial...

Gonna blank aren’t we?

 

[Machine Elements]

Looks like a 4-2-3-1. I expected Cavani with Martial as starting strikers.

I hope this is diamond with VDB and Bruno in midfield and Mata as an AM. Martial in partnership with with Rashford.

 

[RedDevil@84]

VdB with Mata and Bruno feels nice.

 

[Sassy Colin]

Anyone think it's time for Cavani to open his account?

 

[Web of Bissaka]

Agree with Ole, on Dean starting.

Starting both Bruno and Rashford though... the idea is to kill quickly I guess. If we struggle... we're just piling up more fatigue on our best two scoring PL players.

Good chance for VDB to impress at CDM, nice!

 

[Ronaldo's ego]

Good lineup. Will be interesting to see Maguire and Tuanzebe together.

 

[RedDevil@84]

0-5 to us. Come on

 

[Sassy Colin]

My line up prediction has gone to pot

Oh that's today.

You're right, it's vs IB, not much to fear and less things to talk about too. My prev post is premature.

 

[Footy van de Geek]

VdB with Mata and Bruno feels nice.

Would feel nicer with full-backs who can help stretch the opposition and provide an outball option.

Williams is very out of favour this season. Telles is unavailable, so that's fair enough.

Pretty strong XI. Should win 2-0.

Although it could get a bit congested at times.

They are over in the Jota thread.

 

[kirk buttercup]

I like the look of that team. Cmon lads let's smash them

 

[Annihilate Now!]

Said earlier that I really wanted to see Bruno / VdB and Mata start together.

They have, so I'm happy

 

[bdspeedy]

Holy crap. Put in my lineup hurriedly and got all except Hendo. In what world didn't I know he would have to be starting in this one?

 

[Paul_Scholes18]

Let's win this and make sure we secure the group!

 

[USREDEVIL]

No issues with the lineup. Mata over Greenwood is my only issue but I think Greenwood coming in as a sub would work. Let's see if this defensive setup works again.

Wow what a team! That team today bar Henderson should actually be starting at Everton on Saturday

 

[Web of Bissaka]

Familiar faces:
1. Rafael
2. Skrtel (hair version)

 

[Adam-Utd]

looks like a potential 4-3-3 with Donny up with Bruno, or could be a 4-2-3-1 with Donny deeper alongside Matic. Either way i'm happy to see him getting a start alongside Bruno and Mata, think they'll play some sexy football on that right side channel.

 

[12OunceEpilogue]

I like it. vdB enjoys playing with Mata, I think he appreciates a bloke who can pass and move intelligently.

 

[OnlyTwoDaSilvas]

Rafael starts

 

[el3mel]

Very good lineup. Looking forward for Bruno-VDB-Mata combo in the attack. Glad to see Axel and Henderson getting playtime as well.

By all means should be a fun and comfortable night.

 

[Footy van de Geek]

Unlikely given it's less than 72 hours away. De Gea, Lindelöf, Fred, McTominay and Greenwood will probably all start on Saturday.

I would expect him to sub Bruno & Rashford if cruising by 60 mins.

 

[TheGame]

Fantastic.

VDB in CM.

Finally.

Visca's their best player and been the best player in turkey for a while (and bosnian). Pacey winger, shit end product for the national team but does well for them, so hes definitely the one guy to watch.

 

[Hugh Jass]

I just hope VDB looks better than Pogba in MF. Please be to god let this be the end of Pogba.

 

[Machine Elements]

I hope this is diamond with VDB and Bruno in midfield and Mata as an AM. Martial in partnership with with Rashford.

United's Twitter account says " Martial leads the line" so it seems 4-2-3-1 rather than a double striker formation. Also opposition manager was asked about United's recent formation changes and he said he expects United to play 4-2-3-1 after some games with 3 man defence and 4-3-1-2 (4-4-2 diamond). So there's that.

But both United's app and Google says it's 4-4-2 diamond. So we'll see once the game starts I suppose.

 

[vanderpants]

did cavani just come to sit on the bench then? Tonight would have been a good time to start him

 

[Tony247]

4-1-3-2

 

[Web of Bissaka]

Rafael starts

Username checks out. Cheers~

 

[Ekeke]

I like the team. The one exception I might have made would be to leave Mata out and have Cavani up front. Thats the team I'd like to see tried otherwise.

But theres plenty of players given a chance tonight so thats enough to make it interesting
