What's your guess for starting line up?Some might, there's only 2 pre-season games left and there's still a lot of first teamers to return. Don't be surprised if Dan James starts.

Is there a link to the gif? I’d love to send that to my Dad!
he missed the half time analysis he wasnt leaving a full guinness for no oneHe looks a bit rough.
Yeah I suppose. Good then that we will be playing them, good calibre team to get ready for the first game.But our first team won't have even played 90 minutes together...
Ridiculous mistake from Dalot, also Tuanzebe what the feck is he doing? didnt close up to him have him all the right and left side as if he wanted to protect a backward pass or something instead of blocking the shot.MUN 2-2 BRE

HendersonWhat's your guess for starting line up?
So Bruno took his girlfriend then?My son’s gone tonight with his girlfriend, he’s just sent me a pic of him and Bruno
He scores when he isn't even playingSo Bruno took his girlfriend then?
No Pogba? Or other new signings?Henderson
AWB
Maguire/Lindelöf
Varane/Tuanzebe
Shaw/Williams
Matic
McTom/Fred/VDB
Greenwood
Fernandes
Sancho
Cavani
If Cavani isn't ready then I think Greenwood up top and James on the wing. I don't know if Shaw will be fit either, left back could be a problem with Telles out too.
If we sign more players sure. Pogba looks to be on his way out.No Pogba? Or other new signings?
Surely Maguire will be back. Can't see why Cavani wouldn't be either.
yeah shades of Henderson v Liverpool, didn't look right despite the nice strikeAm I the only one who feels Tom Heaton wasn't closing his goal well at all in that second goal. The goal feels way too open and a nice invitation for the player to shoot where he pleases.
I’m not sure if you’re being serious.Bailly has/had good raw talent, but his injuries and mentality got the best of him. Mourinho wanted Maguire before, but the board didn't approve. Dalot was an odd signing because of his age, but then again he never played many senior games in Portugal. Never mind Jose...people need to learn to let go and move on.

neither covered themselves in much glory on that goal which is why both are probably going to be shipped out on loan or sold.....Dalot should be stopping that with his left and Tuanzebe should be backing him up closing down that spaceRidiculous mistake from Dalot, also Tuanzebe what the feck is he doing? didnt close up to him have him all the right and left side as if he wanted to protect a backward pass or something instead of blocking the shot.
AWB will surely start.neither covered themselves in much glory on that goal which is why both are probably going to be shipped out on loan or sold.....Dalot should be stopping that with his left and Tuanzebe should be backing him up closing down that space
outside of Greenwood, not another player on the pitch who would be in the starting XI so thats a good run out for the players against a side who's coming into the premier league
also....great to see fans back at Old Trafford and hearing their noise instead of piped in noise or just the players yelling
right....forgot about himAWB will surely start.
Is there a video of our first goal?

Elanga goal
It’s not a weird post. That is something I see people say, that VDB is always ignored, and I am mearly stating my opinion that it seems strange the entire squad seems to do it. Questioning his positioning is perfectly valid - just because someone looks open from our vantage point, doesn’t mean that the ball is easy to get to them or they are the best option at pitch level.What a weird comment.
As if James is a paragon of good decision-making on the pitch.
except it's not, you're over exaggeratingJust realized how big our squad actually is.
So many categories of useless players just collecting a paycheck.
Tuanzebe: already 24 and clearly not good enough to play for us.
Dalot: his 3rd season here, again clearly not good enough.
Matic: nearing retirement, will get very little game time.
Mata: same as Matic.
Andreas: 25 years old, keeps getting loaned out and priced out of a transfer although again, he is clearly not good enough.
Jones: enough said, he has no future here.
De Gea: it makes zero since to keep him as second choice, really not sure what the plan is with him But hopefully there is one.
I get that we need a big squad for injuries and rotation purposes, no issues with that at all but these players I just listed are all experienced players and not academy kids.
Henderson, Heaton, De Gea.
Varane, Maguire, Bailly, Lindelof, Axel, Mengi, Jones.
AWB, Shaw, Telles, Dalot, Williams.
Fred, VDB, Mctominay, Pogba, Bruno, Matic, Garner, Levitt, Andreas, Mejbri.
Rashford, Pellistri, Sancho, Amad, James, Lingard, Elanga, Chong, Mata.
Cavani, Greenwood, Martial, Shoreitire.
38 players in and around the first team is bonckers, something needs to be done.
I'm really not. These are all first team players or very close to the first team.except it's not, you're over exaggerating
YesI'm really not. These are all first team players or very close to the first team.
Fine, take out Levitt Mengi Mejbri and Shoretire. You are left with 34 clear cut experienced first team players. We can field 3 different teams without using the academy kids. Am I still exaggerating?
Said this for a while. People moaning about squad depth and improving the squad is madness. We need to improe the first eleven, outside of that if we signed four for example, there are a good 7-8 squad players and 3/4 very good younger players coming through which is plenty for this seaon.......but as you mention that still leaves a good 15-16 surplus players potentially.Just realized how big our squad actually is.

Having seen PNE against city last night, we could probably send the u16s out and not worry.Preston first though right?
The team stopped last season, they were looking for more direct action against the problem of racism in society at the time the club said the discussions were led by the black players in the squad.Brentford not taking the knee? Booooo
GifLordWho was it that said he was shit in the last game?

Agree with most of that bar keeping De Gea.GK: De Gea, Heaton,Henderson
RB: AWB, Trippier, Laird,Dalot
CB: Varane, Maguire, Lindelof, Bailly, Mengi,Axel
LB: Shaw, Telles, Williams
CM: Bruno, Saul, Fred, McTominay, Matic, VDB Garner, Levitt,Pogba,Andreas
RW: Greenwood, Sancho, Amad, Mata, Pellistri,Lingard
LW: Sancho, Rashford, Elanga,James,Chong
ST: Cavani, Martial, Rashford
Green - Starters
Blue - Rotation
Red - Loan
Strike- Gone
Players like Hannibal and Shoretire are tweeners. Too talented to loan out, not quite rotation options. Carabao Cup and Dead Rubber players for this season.
It becomes a much more manageable squad (24 players + tweeners like Hannibal) when you look at it like that. Two things also become apparent:
1. We've got a lot of players to move out in the next few weeks
2. Quality wise, we're definitly lightest in midfield. If we can bring in enough funds through sales, would it be too greedy to hope for two additions there? Looking at our squad, I'd even sell Martial if it meant another midfield signing. Martial leaving would have you very reliant on Cavani staying fit and also using Rashford/Greenwood up top more often which would open up more minutes for Amad and Elanga.
