[UNITED ACADEMY]

Is Amad injured or it’s just ETH rates Garnacho above Amad?

 

[Tom Van Persie]

10/11 had Malacia over Shaw

 

[tob]

No Lindelöf

 

[We need an rvn]

McF as the two and I'm assuming then it will be Rashford as the striker, bruno / sancho on the wings and Eriks as the ACM??

Glad to see the King is sitting rightfully on his throne on the bench

 

[Adam-Utd]

Maguire starting, Varane on the bench. No excuses for bad transfer business, board failures or whatever else. If he’s stupid enough to play Maguire, the inevitably shit result is purely on ETH.

New season faith I see. Sheesh.

 

[Giant Midget]

9/11, had Malacia and Ronaldo instead of Eriksen and Shaw.

Hoping it’s Bruno as a false 9 and not Rashford up front.

But I think we can all agree that thank feck it’s not Elanga.

 

[DWelbz19]

Eriksen plays well today and I don’t see him leaving the XI, tbh

 

[mu4c_20le]

Nah it'll be Bruno left, Rashford up top

Yep, according to Google. Who are never wrong ( )

 

[MadDogg]

I'm surprised Martinez is starting and Malacia isn't. Thought it'd be the other way around seeing as Martinez didn't get much gametime in the preseason while Malacia did (while Shaw missed the last couple of games). I figured it'd be 50/50 between Eriksen (once again because of the lack of preseason) and Elanga.

 

[Azhar88]

Ronaldo on the bench... hope he isn't needed.

Mainly because if he is, it will mean we are behind or drawing with 20 mins to go!

 

[Trequarista10]

Bruno false 9 with Eriksen starting I hope

Martinez starting, exciting but curious how the little fella will get on.

Garnacho impressed enough to be on the bench and hopefully some game time.

McTominay the only major annoyance. Still, excited for this. Season begins!

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

I wouldn't start Ronaldo for obvious reasons.

Not sure if ten Hag will do it, but I'd go with:

Rashford Bruno Sancho
Eriksen McTominay
Fred
Shaw Martinez Maguire Dalot
De Gea

Ronaldo, Van de Beek, Malacia​

Knew I shouldnt have changed my mind.

 

[Skills]

Bruno False 9 I think

 

[Adam-Utd]

We'll see.

In the pre season friendly when Eriksen came on that's what we did, so would expect the same

 

[Jacob]

The irony of having a full summer and still starting with McFred. Hopefully it is with a significantly different set of instructions.

 

[Mr Smith]

Shaw starting is a bit of a surprise after being out with illness; hope he's up to it. Bruno as a false nine by the looks; should be interesting. Would have liked to try Rashford up front with Eriksen next to Fred, but oh well.

 

[Mr Pigeon]

Really pleased that Sancho is playing. We really need a proper back up to him. Fernandes as a false nine or what?

 

[Red Rash]

Honestly it's pretty horrible seeing some of those players starting after the performances they put in last season but I think it's more a indictment on how poor the board have been at getting players in.

With a new season and new manager I'm willing to give those players another (what are we on third or fourth?) chance but I won't be as patient as previous seasons if they revert back to the rubbish the delivered last season

 

[ha_rooney]

Reckon it’ll be Bruno in a false 9.

 

[friendlytramp]

————-Fred-McT
Sancho-Eriksen-Fernándes
————Rashford

 

[DJ_21]

Can’t believe we’re entering another season with mctominay and Fred as CM… they can’t control and dominate games!!

 

[Rockets Redglare]

McFred

Ffs it never ends. This isn't a moan because I'm confident we'll win today but fecking hell man....

Out of curiosity who else would you start?

 

[Havak]

Quite a few big calls already! Really interested to see how ETH does. Let's hope we get off to a good start. Five subs probably means it was slightly easier to take risks on a couple.

 

[Adisa]

Didn't bow to pressure to start Ronaldo. This man has the right minerals.

 

[avgp_1]

Garnacho on the bench

 

[hellhunter]

You’re an absolute plague lad. You’re on ignore.

 

[dannyrhinos89]

Don't understand this when this is the first time since Sir Alex that we got the most important part of the club right

The team is basically the exact same one that failed beyond belief last season. I'm just not expecting miracles from ETH. I think we will win today but I don't have the buzz I usually get.

 

[Mr Pigeon]

Out of curiosity who else would you start?

That's the problem - we haven't brought in any replacement for McTominay! I like Fred but the useless Jock cnut McTom can feck off.

 

[Suv666]

Glad Ronaldo is on the bench. Hope he stays there.

 

[Massive Spanner]

As good a starting XI as we could have hoped for.

that bench though, holy shit our squad is so threadbare.

 

[bosnian_red]

That's just plain wrong

Hahaha oh wow my brain thought one thing and my fingers typed another. Bruno false 9, ronaldo benched, eriksen and martinez stating (happy with this). fecks sake. Just woke up

 

[OrcaFat]

————-Fred-McT
Sancho-Eriksen-Fernándes
————Rashford

Surely this.

 

[IrishRedDevil]

Good to see Garnacho get a spot.

Let’s go reds!

 

[Berbaclass]

In the pre season friendly when Eriksen came on that's what we did, so would expect the same

I don't think so. I don't think Eriksen will play wide. More likely he plays 10 so he can thread balls into Rashford, Sancho, Bruno in my opinion.


The front 3 should be pretty fluid anyway though.

 

[Castia]

We can't field a much stronger line up with what we have available considering Ronaldo isn't fully fit.

A billion spent and this is our squad. First game of the season and the most exciting thing is Garnacho on the bench.

 

[V.O.]

Wouldn't be surprised to see any of:
LW: Rashford AM: Eriksen CF: Bruno
LW: Bruno AM: Eriksen CF: Rashford
LW: Eriksen AM: Bruno CF: Rashford

 

[djembatheking]

Bring Ronaldo on in the 91st minute.

 

[Adam-Utd]

I don't think so. I don't think Eriksen will play wide. More likely he plays 10 so he can thread balls into Rashford, Sancho, Bruno in my opinion.


The front 3 should be pretty fluid anyway though.

eh? thats literally what I said.

Eriksen 10, fernandes LW

 

[The Firestarter]

You’re an absolute plague lad. You’re on ignore.

 

[sglowrider]

Is Amad injured or it’s just ETH rates Garnacho above Amad?

Getting ready for a loan?
