Weirdly I've got a feeling we'll deliver one of our best performances of the season in this game. It's the game to secure CL football, the crowd will be up for it and the players should have confidence playing at home and with some winning momentum. And Rashford should be back.

Chelsea players have mentally checked out months ago.

Please God don't lose it and have us go into the last game sweating.

 

[Oscar Bonavena]

Need to win this but we're limping over the line. Hopefully Rashford is back.

We don't technically need to win it.

 

[KiD MoYeS]

0-0 baby, let's go.

 

[Oscar Bonavena]

Martial can't play more than 1 game a week, Garnacho impact sub, should be a comfortable win

He only played 56 minutes today!

And he looked pissed off coming off today. Might be a good thing, he needs to put in an angry performance for once! Although he might just go off in a sulk instead!

 

[Oscar Bonavena]

This game reeks of 0-0 which would suit us down to the ground.

 

[Ayoba]

Doubt it, he's got the mentality of a wet wipe

 

[Ted Lasso]

Been too long since we smashed this lot. Doubt it's this game but it would be a nice way to get top 4

 

[Gerald G]

De Gea
AWB--Varane--Lindelof--Shaw
Casemiro--Fred
Antony--Bruno--Rashford
Martial

Subs: Butland; Dalot, Maguire, Malacia; McTominay, Eriksen; Sancho, Garnacho, Weghorst​

 

[groovyalbert]

Can see both sides being happy with a bore draw here

 

[Irrational.]

Judging by the way games have gone, I am expecting us to drop points here. We seem to become very complacent against teams that are on a low ebb and like to give them a boost at the right time. Just hope we come away with a draw, so the players can switch off until the final.

 

[Annihilate Now!]

Gentleman's agreement, shake hands on a draw, everyone's happy.

 

[Bwuk]

Start Garnacho.

 

[Blood Mage]

De Gea
AWB - Varane - Lindelof - Shaw
Casemiro - Fred
Antony - Bruno - Garnacho
Rashford
​

We should easily be able to get at their slow as feck defence with the pace of Rashford and Garnacho so hopefully they both start.

 

[Betson]

Just need to get the pt we need anyway possible , and then we can concentrate on the cup final.

I do want to see us needing anything on the last day. They would no doubt out us through hell and probable mess up.

 

[always_hoping]

Last five Premier league meetings between the two was five draws (1-1,1-1,1-1,0-0,0-0)

Last Man United win in Old Trafford against Chelsea was 2019 (4-0) when Frank Lampard was manager for the blues. Last home league loss to Chelsea was ten years ago 1-0 and certain Juan Mata scoring the only goal, Lampard started that match.

 

[Sir Erik ten Hag]

This has 0-0 bore draw written all over it. Which I'd be totally fine with given the circumstances.

0-0 boring draw would Old Trafford erupting in joy at FT will be quite a sight.

 

[DRJosh]

Good opportunity to start Gernacho and throw in Maguire in place of Lindelof on the 80th minute if we have a lead. All we need is a point. We don't need more injuries for the FA Cup final.

 

[SirReginald]

3-1 United.

Players don’t care, have nothing to play for and we have a manager that couldn’t organize a piss up in a brewery. United have the chance to confirm top 4, even with your lack of goal threat it won’t matter, just nail a long shot on target and Kepa will be beaten. Don’t need to even get near our box to score, in fact your less likely to score the closer you get.

 

[croadyman]

Probably same team as the win at Bournemouth bar getting Rashford in if ready. Get the job done with a result here and then we can play the likes of Dalot, Maguire, Malacia, McTominay, and Weghorst against Fulham. Could start Garnacho too and sub him off after 60~ so he's had more minutes in the bank.

I'm expecting EtH will already have the main plan in place for the FA Cup Final already, so if we can get 4th secured that will be the only thing on his mind.

I don't know because feel like he will believe that we could still finish third,however would prefer we prioritise keeping players fit for the final.

 

[padzilla]

I wonder will they be up for this now they have Poch confirmed? Playing for places next season and all that.
Ideally we would treat this as a must win game and push on for third place.

 

[slored1]

De Gea
AWB - Varane - Lindelof - Shaw
Casemiro - Eriksen
Antony - Bruno - Rashford
Martial

3-0 United.

 

[Havak]

It might be a bit premature, you're probably right. But I think there's as much chance Newcastle win their last two as we do. Will be best to evaluate it on Friday. People also keep forgetting that 4th place in England doesn't have to play a qualifying round for the Champions League anymore. 3rd/4th doesn't make any difference other than a bit more prize money I imagine.

It would be nice to finish above Newcastle though! If we have beaten Chelsea on Thursday, then we will obviously go for the win on the last day. There is almost a week until the FA Cup Final after the final league game. I would just really want players like Casemiro and Varane in particular to be completely rested. I wouldn't want Shaw, Eriksen, Bruno, and Rashford to be playing the whole game either if there's no need to.

Still, all hyperbole for now. We have to get the job done against Chelsea first and it will be full strength. Sancho had one of his better games, so maybe we go with Rashford as the striker for this one.

 

[DRJosh]

Doubt it, he's got the mentality of a wet wipe

And that’s disrespecting the wet wipe

 

[Isotope]

I'll have Dalot and Malacia on fullbacks for this. Garnacho - Sancho on wings. Or Garnacho - Pellistri if EtH feeling a bit more adventure. McTom can start also.

 

[mitchmouse]

I don't trust these b@stards: you can pretty much guarantee they'll suddenly remember how to be a good team. Some here saying 3-0... I can barely remember the last time we scored three in the PL. I'd take 1-1

 

[ColvaleGoa]

Get Ole back and it's 4-0 guaranteed.

 

[horsechoker]

Get Ole back and it's 4-0 guaranteed.

Ole v Lampard

Just like old times

 

[glasgow 21]

De Gea
AWB - Varane - Lindelof - Shaw
Casemiro - Eriksen
Antony - Bruno - Rashford
Martial

3-0 United.

To be quite honest at this stage I would prefer a Garnacho in instead of Martial , Garnacho at least knows where the goal posts are and has quicker feet.

 

[ti vu]

I wonder will they be up for this now they have Poch confirmed? Playing for places next season and all that.

Almost forgot this manager bounce.

We must be careful. Their players may want to be in Poch good book by trying to impress him. I don't we would lose, but definitely can't mess around tinkering by starting MaGuire, or playing Weghorst as no 10 while moving Bruno to the wing for example.

 

[TsuWave]

Have a feeling Chelsea will be up for this, wouldn’t even blame Ten Hag if he took a more defensive/solid approach and played for the draw.

 

[Leonzo1]

Bizarre pessimism going on in this thread. Chelsea are garbage, Home game, Rashford back. 3-0 United

 

[BluesJr]

Let’s make the Chelsea fans cry one last time this season.

 

[top1whoisman]

So they are most likely missing Chilwell, Cucurella, Mount, Kanté, Badiashile & James.

 

[duffer]

Why? We've not been up for anything for many months.

 

[duffer]

Let’s make the Chelsea fans cry one last time this season.

Our season ended weeks ago. Anything other than a battering might send some Chelsea fans into shock but there won't be any tears.

The Twitter fans need put down at every opportunity.

 

[CaseHero]

If ETH wasnt in charge of these next two games I'd be sweating it a little but we definitely will turn these over on the counter, there is no organisation or fight I them. 2.0 to us.

 

[Northstand]

So how were Chelsea against City’s reserves today?

 

[always_hoping]

A stat highlighting the good Old Trafford form this season.

"Manchester United have won 25 matches at Old Trafford in all competitions this season only in 2002-03 (27) and 2010,11 (26) have United ever enjoyed more home wins in a single campaign."

So how were Chelsea against City’s reserves today?

Quite. Would surely be a worse performance than 0-7 at Anfield if we lose at home to this lot.
