Fred letting us down as always!!10 out of 11 dammit! I had Fred instead of mctom
He's recently come back from surgery and is clearly the better player out of him and Fred when fit.What does mctominay have to do to get dropped? He was worse than Fred against villa
Tbf the recent Fred isn't much better. He run a lot yes but his passing is simply horrible. I've lost count how many simple passes he's missed recently. Really really simple passes I'd say. Like Fred is back to the Fred in his first season here.Pogba McTominay midfield? Wonder how many we'll lose by.
And Pogba. Hes up and down when playing in the middle. Hopefully with McTominay with him hel be alright.This should pretty much be our team most of the time imo
Just with Maguire Shaw and Rashford depending on form.
You wxpected any different?McTominay starting Cmon Ole…
I didn’t say we did? He did nothing in the match either though did he? He didn’t win the ball or set anyone or anything up. He was just thereWe didn't lose the El final because of Pogba s lack of discipline......
Exactly, McTominay will just hide while Pogba is a liability defensively, they’ll cut us through with ease.Villarreal gonna have a field day playing against this non existent midfield.
Pogba has to play in the middle. We have too many good attacking options to be playing him on the wing.And Pogba. Hes up and down when playing in the middle. Hopefully with McTominay with him hel be alright.
That's all I got from the final. The other Spanish sides we played last year were much the same.That’s true. Hate playing these guys!
As was everyone mate.I didn’t say we did? He did nothing in the match either though did he? He didn’t win the ball or set anyone or anything up. He was just there
Cheers. Yeah that performance was pretty trash hope we don't get a repeat.Why United line up makes sense
The last time McTominay and Pogba started together in central midfield was the Europa League final in May. As if playing Villarreal again wasn’t enough of a reminder of that rotten night in Gdansk. The selection makes sense, Unai Emery’s side are missing their best striker and are a negative side, United should be good enough to cope without one of Fred and McTominay tonight.

But that wasn't even the intended midfield pairing for the Final. Fred was injured and could not start, so Pogba was put into central midfield, something he was not doing much during the 2nd half of the season, especially when Marcus was injured/playing hurt.Why United line up makes sense

Today we will be up against a low block. Lets see how he does.I think Sancho will have a good game!
He really isn't. His stock has soared recently due to Fred's poor form and his own injury but Fred's better at pretty much everything except shooting and aerial duels.He's recently come back from surgery and is clearly the better player out of him and Fred when fit.
Harry hasn't started the best this season so could well be.Pogba replacing Fred = improvement
Lindelof replacing Maguire = ...improvement?
The worst part is the huge miss is also starting. Can you believe this guy!!McTominay starting Cmon Ole…
You're not going to play Pogba and VDB in central midfield. You have to start at least one of McTominay, Fred, or Matic. Just continues to show that United's central midfield is severely lacking a good balance without a glaring weakness no matter the pairing.McTom was terrible at the weekend, rewarded with another start tonight. Poor management.
A bit strange that we have named two goalkeepers on the bench though
Someone tell Ole there will be no penalty-shootout
Ville real prob won't attack thoughI'll be surprised if a united defence containing Dalot, Lindelof, Telles keeps a clean sheet tonight. So United I feel need to score at least two goals in order to win.
